    Love this place! It's quickly become my go to in the neighbourhood. Freshly made, delicious food to go, or to dine in. Love their Americano. Friendly owners. Big reason I kept coming back. Very welcoming. Great service. Also nice they have a patio to enjoy with friends. Or chill on your own.

    Best cafe in all of st.clair west to east. I’ve been coming here for 2 years. Their chicken pesto sandwich is amazing - I add avocado which I highly recommend because it tastes sooo good with it! I honestly cannot find another sandwich that tastes as great and as satisfying as this one - and with the salad too - delicious! The vibe is nice, great coffee and the patio is cozy- I can bring my dog to sit out with me there while I eat. Always delighted to see and chat with the owners. Definitely recommend my family and friends to have brunch or a date here.

    Been coming here a few times for coffee and each time was greeted with friendly staff and prompt service. Tried the potato salad for the first time today and it is delicious! Great use of paprika, chives, celery, mayo, baby potatoes for a refreshing taste. Go check out The Grind!

    Finally got to try this cafe and I wasn't dissapointed. Friendly atmosphere and good service. I ordered a dirty chai latte and the pressed avocado sandwich which came with spring salad and fresh strawberries. The food was delicious, good portion and decent price. Definitely recommend
