Critical Grind is certainly a great place if you like board and card games. Has crap tons to choose from including some most people have never heard about before coming here. The drinks and food aren't the main attraction but these are good mostly. Came here the first time and we just wanted to look around. It's got a counter to order at and a few tables in front. The back is where it's at as far as fun and games. A crap ton of board games are piled up basically. Has so many games back here it's hard to pick just one. The drinks and food are easier choices thankfully. It's about $5 to get a latte. There's some non dairy milk choices including oat. It's about $6 for avocado toast, of which there's a few choices. The Hummzza comes with balsamic glaze, basils, and tomatoes. Great place with lots of fun. It's located in the plaza next to the sports cards store. There's often events going on here so check the website.

Enter the building, follow the signs down the hallway, and you'll find yourself in a spacious coffee shop perfect for meet ups, working, studying, etc. The skeletons are a fun touch but most importantly the coffee is fantastic.

I ordered the French toast, it's been a signature of theirs for years, and it was fabulous! I had a nice discussion with the hostess about coffee, and she mentioned about other shops and other places that she had tried that that she'd liked and we had a little discussion about a place west of here in another town that I do frequent. All this, while I was waiting for mine to come up and she was a great lady. Coffee was good, service was good, there's enough space in there seating wise,,even if it gets busy in there. Place is a little off the beaten path, but you can always find a parking spot I've been coming in this area for years due to Werk Force brewing. Always wanted to try Ten drops but never got around to it. Now here's why I subtract for a half star. They have a third-party company coming in between Wednesday and Sunday to provide pastries from nine until I think whenever the pastries are gone. That's great, except I was there on a Wednesday before 9 AM and what about Monday and Tuesday?? But I can live without that. So that is why I gave five stars cause the place is that good , just disappointed about the food situation. Other than that they are a local joint . they source their coffee from multiple places including outside of USA, and that's fine there's great coffee elsewhere in the world. and I have no other complaints about them. Yes, do patronize them!

Fair prices and delicious coffee!…read more I had a hot white chocolate mocha. It was delicious! Plenty of seating and friendly employees.

Krema is my Downtown Plainfield regular when I am out and about…read more The menu is genuinely fun. They rotate creative latte flavors like honey lavender, chocolate cherry, and lemon honey and I am always down to try whatever is new. The espresso itself is mild, which works as a base but I personally wish it had a little more backbone. The iced lavender matcha is my personal standout and I will not be taking questions. They also let you build your own combinations, and a recent banana brown sugar iced latte I dreamed up was exactly as good as it sounds. The food punches above typical coffee shop fare. The Beyond sandwich with its sweet heat chipotle aioli is a genuine win, vegan or not. The brown sugar bacon gouda is a household favorite for my family. The baked treats are decent but honestly priced a touch above what they deliver. They are the only coffee shop in the area so the pricing reflects that reality more than the competition. The space is your standard coffee shop Joanna Gaines-esque rustic, warm and comfortable. They feature local art on the walls which I love, though I wish they rotated it more frequently. Easy way to keep things fresh and support the local creative community more actively. Staff is kind, genuinely engaging, and this is a queer safe space, which matters and is always worth naming out loud.

You would think they would be open on a Sunday, that is a big retail day for most people to get out and chill for a bit.

Biggest downfall is the wait times. Even when the lines are short, waits are still long. On a busy day I waited a half an hour. Also the drinks aren't super consistent. Tastes different based on who is making it. With that said, when it's good- it's amazing and I'll wait for amazing coffee. Just wish I didn't have to wait SO long.
