It even came with a shot of espresso, perfect to give me more energy to do work. The croissant, however, was pretty lacking both in texture and look. The croissant is not flaky and it is rather small. Service was incredible though. The person taking my order was enthusiastic and welcoming. The barista making my order was quick and it tasted so good. All in all the café is a super cute and effective environment for work with good coffee to treat yourself.

The customer service is excellent and the baristas have gotten to know me and provide recommendations for new things to try based on what I have had in the past. The shakes, iced coffee, and lotus energy drinks are great. The shop provides seating outside and inside. There is one bathroom that is kept clean. Overall, the shop is very clean. Iced coffee and regular refills are $0.50. The baristas have made an effort for me to know their names, as well and many have helped create a great environment through great conversations. The only note, which many customers would likely agree, is that the aesthetically pleasing menu can be a bit overwhelming at first glance due to the many options. But, once you take it in, you can find what you are looking for to order. If you can't, the baristas will be happy to help make something that is amazing for you. There is also a roll the dice game that helps create a beverage for you, as well. All in all, Grinders is a great place to get caffeinated, socialize with others, and get work done.

Really disappointing experience at Grinders Coffee. The coffee itself was poor quality, and I was…read moresurprised they didn't offer any homemade syrups. My drink had to be remade twice, and instead of showing any sense of urgency, several employees were laughing and giggling while we waited, which came across as very unprofessional. I will say the person who took our order was nice and pleasant, and I appreciated that. Unfortunately, the overall service and coffee quality were not what I expected from a local coffee shop. There are definitely better coffee options in Wilmington.

I received an email response confirming the photos were received. We showed up about 10 minutes before our event was scheduled, and were greeted by our expert painter and shown the canvas with photos of our dogs. We were given paint colors for our background (whatever we chose) and the appropriate base colors for our dogs. What initially seemed like an intimidating process turned out to be a lot of fun and was surprisingly easy - we think our photos turned out to look amazingly like our pets! As a bonus, our instructor was AMAZING and we really enjoyed her company and were grateful for her reassurances throughout the evening. We will definitely be coming back to do more of these events!

There is everything from handmade jewelry to figures, paintings, pottery, photography printed large, t-shirts, sports team logo emblazoned memorabilia and catnip toys for your cat. That's just a smattering of what they have. This being art, you can imagine the prices range broadly depending on what you're wanting. Larger items can be several hundred dollars while I saw smaller items down to just a few bucks. Staff was friendly and helpful. The store itself is in what used to be an old bar/restaurant. It has an almost rustic feel to it, although I don't believe the building is truly all that old. If you find yourself in this area you should give it a look.

We started in the women's shoe section which is in the back of the store. As we moved through the clothes section, we were followed by a sales associate that never asked us if we needed assistance. She literally just stood there following us around the racks hovering and shadowing my every move. It was very uncomfortable. She didn't even try to pretend to straighten up the clothing . Neither one of us had pockets or a bag large enough to even fit a piece of clothing into so I can't even understand why we were targeted like this. It's very disappointing! We will not return. I recommend that the owner of this store work on training their staff to better oversee their customers in a manner in which they're not being profiled.

I was also able to pick up a great gift, perfect for my birthday boy. This lovely shop is located in the historic area of downtown Huntington in a repurposed old building. There is plenty of parking available on the street or in the nearby parking garage. If I lived here, I would be here ALL the time.
