The Southern Grind Coffee House at the WHARF

Got the chicken salad on a croissant— croissant was ridiculously dried out and tasteless. The chicken salad was just ok. Cucumber salad was tasteless like it was just in water. Pasta salad was ok but seemed like it had been around awhile as the pasta was mushy. We were there on a Saturday at 11:45am and had to wait to get lunch until noon.

Waited 17 minutes for take out breakfast sandwiches. Spent a fortune and the staff wasn’t even pleasant. Fun bonus: the eggs on the sandwiches were so overdone that they’d become rubber and smelled like burnt sulfur. Never again!

I rarely write bad reviews, but in this case, if you know anything about coffee, you'll be much happier at the nearby Foam. I can't speak to the food as I didn't have it, but the coffee was so bad that I didn't finish it. Also, the Live, Laugh, Oppress aesthetic was a bit hard to take without caffeine. I left confused about whether the coffee part was a separate business inside a gift shop, or whether the gift shop and Jesus books relegated the coffee to an afterthought.

Bought a Peanut Butter Mocha and a cookie, which yet to eat the cookie.

Drink was below average and probably due to my expectation of what I expect of a peanut butter, no taste of a peanut butter.

Atmosphere wise, a cosy neighbourhood with few exceptions of noisy car zooming by and people shouting.

Great location, love the Wharf. Cool vibes inside and out with some shopping and seating. The chicken gravy biscuit was great. I didn't care for the potatoes and my eggs were overcooked. Neither of our coffees were drinkable - one latte, one nitro draft. Overall just an okay experience, don't think I'd visit again.

Love the vibes here at the wharf in general and if you want a good cup of coffee I definitely recommend the southern grind. The gelato was very good too

Great atmosphere! Clean place. I had their special, hot honey chicken biscuit and it was delish! I hope they keep it in the menu.

We had southern fried chicken biscuits. Good, but I’d probably try something else next time. There was a line when we got there, so we ended up waiting almost 30 minutes for 3 biscuits.

I had the “lavender haze” latte at first (lavender, cinnamon, and vanilla) and was not a fan. I didn’t taste any lavender or vanilla - just very strong cinnamon 😅 I drank 4-5 sips and had to toss it. I did go back to order a regular drip and they gave it to me for free because I said I didn’t like the latte. That was really nice of them and the drip was good!
