I think this club is the best place to have some party for a group of friends. They have the best booze and amazing atmosphere in the area. A truly wonderful place to be for meeting some new friends and any acquaintances. I will definitely rate this club a perfect 10 for the amazing service they offered. Truly amazing!

Closed, showed up at 830am on Tuesday. Looks closed due to construction.No sign on door, no update to google times, no update on website.

The atmosphere of the place is very cool and the designs of the decor is very comforting and nice. They're staffs exceptionally kind and fun.

I was at my friends open house in the area and I was craving coffee and a bite to eat so I made my way here. It was hot so by the time I made it here I needed an ice cold drink. When I finally got here I was a little confused where this place was as the wine place in front was closed. I finally saw the sign and made my way back just to find it closed. At 11:30 am on a Saturday with no note or anything... wtf?!

I typically love this place but I just tried to get coffee there and they were closed? Super frustrating, hope they get their staffing/scheduling figured out. Or at least change the hours on Yelp if they are going to have a closure.

Excellent coffee and cool atmosphere, was a little sad to find out there food menu changed and they no longer have a lot of the things pictured and mentioned in other yelp reviews

Bummed TO THE MAX!! Drove here with anticipation, as we've visited before, only to find them closed 1 hour after their store hours say they were open.. Come on guys..

First time here as we were visiting from the Bay Area and staying at The Lafayette -- absolutely loved this place!! Great coffee, awesome aesthetic and vibes, freshly made food, DOG FRIENDLY (!!!), super friendly staff, small yet charming outdoor seating, and a selection of board games to play at your table. My husband and I came in search of breakfast and were not disappointed -- I had drip coffee and the strawberry chia avocado toast, he had an iced Mexican mocha and one of the breakfast wraps, it was all super tasty and just the right amount of food. Make sure to say hi to Athena, the shop dog wandering around greeting everyone! This is also a wine tasting room, and I hope to come back later to experience that side of Grind & Vine as well!! ?☕???????

Cute, peaceful Sunday morning coffee.

I don't know how this place is still ranked 4.5 stars with so many negative reviews. Ever since ownership turned over (?) this place went severely downhill in quality and service. The last few visits took between 30-45 minutes to get a basic (microwaved) sandwich and coffee. It wasn't even busy- there was one order ahead of me. They really need to get their act together

I never Yelp, but due to the horrible experience at Grinds and Vine, I was forced to write a review. I ordered an iced Vanilla Latte, and after sipping on the drink I felt a weird texture in my mouth. I took my hand and spit in it and found a disgusting dead insect in my hand. Horrified, I flung it to the floor and continued spitting to remove any other possible remnants. My fiancé went back to the counter and demanded a full refund, thereafter we left the store immediately. Will never be returning!!

New to the area and looking for "gems" in the neighborhood and found this place. Quaint little place. Love the avocado toast so much we ordered a second. Smoothie was tasty and loved the outdoor patio. Friendly staff. We will definitely be back!

I came here on Sunday morning with my boyfriend for coffee and egg sandwiches. We were extremely disappointed and repulsed... To start, AFTER we paid we were told that they didn't have the 2 iced coffees we ordered. They told us we could sub for a latte or iced americano...which is fine...but not what we wanted (wish they told us upfront). That's not even the problem... We both ordered egg sandwiches. Then we watched as the barista with short dark hair and tattoos made everything WITHOUT washing her hands or using gloves. I mean, seriously, holding cheese in her bare hands, touching the counter top, putting her hands in the oven mit (with who know what inside or how long its been washed), grabbing the bread, etc. The eggs were microwaved. I can't even comment on the sandwich because we threw them away so we wouldn't get sick, but it didn't look appetizing. Also it literally took her 30 minutes to make. There was someone next to her making a cheese board for next door. They didn't have gloves here either. Management--HELLO???? Go anywhere else. Don't come here unless you want to get food poisoning.

We ordered a bagel and avocado toast to-go, waited an HOUR for it (there was just one person working) when we finally got our food, the avocado toast was literally one piece of regular sandwich bread with diced avocado on top. Not exactly worth the $5.50 price tag or the one hour wait

Friendly staff and awesome friendly local owner, great food, feels just like a coffee shop should. Great place to get work done on the outdoor patio on a weekend morning. Construction is done on the nearby apartments, so hope it doesn't start getting too crowded.
