The Farmer's Grind

"This place is really nice. I never knew of them in all the years I drove by…basically a diamond in the rough. I had been in South Salem using the holistic animal hospital down the road and never knew about the farmers grind until someone told me about it. I went there for three days straight, and they supplied me with coffee and food & I couldn’t have been happier. I actually liked them so much that I went back again a couple of weeks ago because I was in the area and it was a delight to step foot back into this place. I was over by the prepared food section and somebody came up to help me even without me asking for any help and I thought that was nice. All in all, it’s a great place if you want a good cup of coffee and healthy prepared foods. I definitely will be visiting again on my future trips to South Salem."

"My view of the Farmers Grind has drastically changed from 3 years ago: We have been to the Farmer's Grind twice recently and the service was less than accommodating, not very friendly not a very warm atmosphere. Service was slow and the latte and coffee were average. It's important to pay attention to the customers as they are your lifeblood."

"Amazing food and drinks and staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. I always bring my dog and she even thinks it’s great. Definitely recommend stopping for breakfast or lunch"

"Very attractive store: specialty coffee, sandwiches, specialty food items, and things such as coffee mugs, etc. They carry coffee from Suffern's Java Love roasting company. The 16oz Americano coffee (espresso + hot waterI) I ordered was boiing hot. I had to wait a good 3 to 4 minutes before I could drink it. It could become a disaster AND an insurance issue if it spills on someone. It's an easy mistake to correct -- the added water should be 194-201°. Also, it had too much added water, so it had barely had any flavor. I respectfully reported this to the barista and she added a shot. Then, delicious. Any establishment that has a copy of "The World Atlas of Coffee" by James Hoffman for customers to look through is great, in my book. Definitely worth a stop, and then, another."

"Wow. The Farmer's Grind is amazing every time! Friendly staff, cutest atmosphere and, of course the best food! Great coffee, sammies that are greater than the sum of their parts, delicious ice cream, and carefully curated local baked goods, prepared foods, and produce. What more could you ask for? I seriously would eat here every day. The photo doesn't do it justice."
