I came in to town to visit a friend and he recommended we check this place out. Not only is the cafe splattered in custom art, goth/metal decor and good color coordination but the coffee was incredible and so were the little burritos we got. Shout outs to Mallory, the owner and everyone on bar who made my visit special. Came for the theme of the shop but I will visit again on every trip I make to Pitt cuz they absolutely passed the vibe check.Dietary restrictions: They were incredibly accommodating of my tree nut allergy.

I hadn't been here since it became Grim Wizard and didn't know what to expect, but I had an even better experience here than ever before. I prefer the interior now and the addition of pinball machines. Same dark, soul Awakening espresso drinks that I had been missing. I didn't see as much of a variety of pastries though.

This is a great spot for a quick caffeine pick me up. Lots of great decorations and a fun theme. Their drinks are also on the sweeter side

Grim Wizard is a gem of a coffee shop. Delicious drink offerings along with a really fun and well curated vibe. Fits in well with the other unique shops in Allentown nowadays. Will definitely be coming back!

Visited while on vacation to see my boyfriend’s family. Coffee - IMMACULATE! Service - DIVINE! We had a great time and really loved the vibe ? We also visited the oddities shop down the way owned by the same person as the coffee shop.P.S. if you were wondering about the sign in the woman’s restroom…I figured it out. Being a 2010’s scene kid came in handy lolIt says:WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CAR’S EXTENDED WARRANTY

Great service great staff. I’m glad they didn’t change the core when it was the black Forge. In fact they added for pinball machines, good coffee and the girls that work there are super

Love everything about Grim Wizard! The atmosphere is great. They don't hurry you through your order, they answer your questions, give you time with the menu, and also a lot of time to enjoy the space and your beverage. Kat was at the register and Billy was the barista! WHAT A TEAM!! I love it here! My husband and I order different drinks and they were both amazing (sorry, I can't remember the name). Mine was toasted marshmallow, dark chocolate, cinnamon, cream all over ice. I switched up the cream to oat milk and left out the cinnamon. Didn't matter-I fell in love with the drink. I plan to go back A LOT! They even have merch!Enjoy! You're Welcome! I hope you like it as much as I did. Maybe we'll meet there some day!

The nicest people you can meet, who take real pride in their craft, and it's always done right.
