Grind AVL,

346 Depot Street, Asheville, NC 28801

"The only true dog-friendly coffee shop inside and out in AVL! A must try if you’re have your pup alongside. They use local Dynamite beans and have a friendly, laid back atmosphere."

"My wife and I had high hopes for this place, and I really wanted to leave a positive review. But alas, I will not mislead anyone with my comments. When we walked in? There was a positive vibe, and the lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful. I ordered a medium drip coffee & blueberry scone, and my wife ordered a praline latte & cranberry scone. I realized immediately that my wife was dissatisfied with her drink by the look on her face (she will never complain to me in public) after her first sip. Well, my coffee was very weak...watery and lukewarm, and the scones were tasteless. The food and coffee were a bust. Despite that, my wife and I just tried to chill and converse. That was ruined when a tall lanky man came in and ruined the whole vibe. He was louder than he needed to be, and was excessively bossy. If he was a part owner? He was nowhere pictured on the website with the two we saw...and totally completed the ruination of our experience at this spot. ...I really wanted to enjoy this spot."

"This shop has cozy, artsy vibes and awesome humans running the show. The caramel oat milk latte is the best coffee I've had in Asheville, hands down. I highly recommend Grind and (already) can't wait to come back! :)"

"First time in this coffee shop. Very happy and impressed! I had a plain bagel which must be homemade, and it was the best plain bagel I have ever had. I ordered a drip dark roast coffe and it was also spot on and fairly priced. My husband had a gf/vegan fruit bar and we both thought it was very tasty. He also had a iced vanilla latte and that was spot on too. Overall it was clean, nice background music. So glad we stopped!"

"What a great place to while away the hours while your partner is shopping in the Arts District. Situated in the Pink Dog Creative building, the coffee is good, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. They even have private booths where you can get work done on your laptop if you need a little peace and quiet. Definitely check it out as soon as you can!"
