Best coffee in Asheville!!!! While visiting from Atlanta, we tried 3 other coffee shops before visiting Grind. We had some of everything (house brewed coffee, iced espresso, hot chocolate, and iced Matcha), and I must say, they did not disappoint. Grind AVL will be THE coffee shop for us when visiting Asheville!!!

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!

I just ordered through Door Dash. I've been using Door Dash since they first came here lol. I've gotten bad orders or incorrect items often. The Grind actually called me to let me know they were out of crossiants instead of not taking my order. Instead of giving me something random. I've never had their coffee. I'm sure it's amazing but I'm super impressed by their customer service and super kind gesture. I know it's not a huge deal but no one ever does that. Thanks so much. We are BFFs for life now. ❤️

Really nice environment and good tasting coffee but the prices are a bit higher than other shops. An additional shot of espresso is $1.50, flavored syrup is $.50 (which is pretty standard) and just getting regular whole milk was another $.50. All together my latte was $8 without tip. I was honestly a little surprised by the cost as I wasn’t expecting that.
