Have come here many times when visiting vero and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched friends or people I’ve just met get scammed by the bartenders and either double or over charged. Never give them your credit card or run a tab. If you must order a drink order one at a time, ask for a receipt and pay cash.

I stopped by Grind and Grape while I was in town visiting my husband's family. We first stopped by for coffee - which was really good and served quickly. I also really appreciated their coffee shop hours being open a bit longer than some other shops in town, since I like to drink coffee at any time. Later in the day, we came back and enjoyed some drinks and live music at the bar. The drinks, atmosphere, and service were really enjoyable. Our bartender was friendly and made good conversation with us. I think this establishment is well-suited for both the younger and older crowds - anyone can have a good time here and not feel out of place. Next time we are in town, we will gladly stop by.

Looked forward to brunch all week for our anniversary, was left with disappointment and regret.
Arrived to learn they are no longer serving brunch on Saturdays, even though their website and printed menus all advertise Sat-Sun brunch. They also only print their happy hour prices on the menu, so what we thought was a $10 drink was actually a $17 drink.
The lone server just seemed uninterested in being there and there wasn't even a cook in the kitchen at 12pm.
Don't waste your time.

I cannot praise this place enough. My parents visited for Spring Break 2024, and we stumbled in late one night after dinner—the best decision ever.
I am an espresso martini connoisseur, and Grind and Grape lives up to the hype. I tried one with Irish cream and one without—they traditionally serve it with Irish cream, but I preferred it without. The froth, the bold coffee flavor—perfection. At $16, they’re pricey but worth every penny.
We loved it so much that when we returned for spring break in 2025, we looked forward to returning every night during our trip. I’ve chatted with Max, the bartender, a few times—genuine, friendly, and makes fantastic drinks. The entire staff was welcoming, and the service was consistently top-tier.
The atmosphere is lively. Karaoke nights can get loud, but their live jazz bands are phenomenal. The crowd is a mix of older couples and college-goers, which makes for an interesting dynamic.
I haven’t tried the food yet, but it looks terrific—definitely on my list for next time.
Drinks & service: 10/10 (loud at times, but fun and inviting)
I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area, and I’ll always defend its title as the best award-winning espresso martini.
I’ll be back—again and again.

Food and service were great. Seems to attract a younger crowd that includes power-drinkers. Kind of ruined the experience

The coffee was excellent. We got cappuccinos and the ribeye flat bread. It was great. It was Sunday but I will come back on Friday or Saturday to enjoy the live music.

Every time I have been there the staff has been rude. I have not been at night when it turns into a night club of sorts for old people but I have a few times during the day over the last couple of years. I did not really understand why the staff was dressed the way they were to serve brunch but perhaps I misunderstood what type of business it was. Besides and much more importantly, they were rude every time. It was not always the same person but they all were rude and dismissive.
The gelato I had was good though.

Max is a great bartender and I mainly drink tequila straight but their espresso martini cannot be passed by, great job max!
Did not rate the food because we didn't eat but we had espresso martinis and they were some of the best we have ever had. Great atmosphere and vibe different from the older and more family oriented places.

Unfortunately, Horrible service. My husband and I are returned again this year to Vero to celebrate our anniversary. We love this place for coffee in the mornings. Last evening, we tried to go for karaoke, and my husband was told he couldn’t be served with a tank top on. (Even though we had called ahead to inquire about food/events and were not told there was a dress code) The bartender proceeded to say he could serve us outside. What are we, dogs?? Absolutely ridiculous. IF there was a dress code, it should have clearly been posted, and all staff should be made aware so that we could have had that information when we called. We frequently visit Vero Beach and have never had this issue before. I will not waste my time or energy coming back to this establishment.

**Grape and Grind Review: A Mixed Experience**
Grape and Grind offers an enticing atmosphere with great espresso martinis, perfect for a night out. However, my experience with their morning service was less than ideal. Despite attempting three consecutive mornings at 7:30 am, they were consistently closed forcing me to visit Cravings across the street instead (they didn’t disappoint) which opened promptly at 7:30 am. If you're seeking a late-night spot, Grape and Grind delivers, but for early risers, it may not meet your expectations.
