The Grind

"I love this place so much! If you’re looking for a cute small-town coffee shop, this is a great place to go! The grind has the staples of coffee shop drinks, as well as an entire display of hilarious junk that you might find as an awesome gift. They have strange gifts such as Kermit the Frog candles and alien poop in a bag (cotton candy), as well as Girdwood merch and socks. I recommend the chai, because it’s just really good. :)"

"Beautiful place with house roast coffee beans. I had lavender latte... the best I had in Alaska. The place is super cute and cozy."

"Cool, little coffee shop! Great coffee and friendly batista! Definitely worth the stop."

"Best. Coffee. Ever! So glad we stopped at The Grind for the few minutes we were in Girdwood. The barista was delightful to chat with and the Black Irish Espresso was so delicious. (It was the brew of the day, I did not order it as an espresso or Americano.) I can't say enough wonderful things about how smooth this coffee is. We bought a one-pound bag to take home! The selection of items in the store are eclectic and fun. Cute greeting cards and gifts. I wish I could remember the barista's name so I could thank her in this review. She had her well-trained dog Koda in the back room; and he was delightful, too. If I ever go back to Alaska, and am anywhere near Girdwood, I will definitely return to The Grind."

"Delicious, strong coffee and upbeat service. The barista was kind and knowledgeable about recommending a local waterfall hike. Inside of coffee room was filled with a wide ranging display of nick nacks. Overall a neat place!"
