Customer Reviews
Grind N Gears is a fantastic coffee shop with a unique and welcoming atmosphere. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Dan, and the barista, Levi—both were incredibly kind and made the experience even better. Levi was especially great, making sure our drinks were just right and engaging in friendly conversation that added a personal touch to the visit. We tried a white mocha and a sugar-free vanilla latte, both of which were well-made and delicious. I also appreciated that Levi checked if we wanted more sweetness, ensuring our drinks were exactly how we liked them. The shop itself has an awesome vibe, with its bike-themed decor and thoughtfully curated merchandise. The entire space feels cohesive and inviting. I’ll definitely be back in the summer to enjoy more great coffee an
Really cool place with great food and drinks. We stopped in to check it out and the interior decor is so cool with vintage motorcycles and other motorcycle themed apparel. We had a great iced latte coffee as well as strawberry boba tea and mango bulb tea. We love their lavender as well as hibiscus tea. We definitely will be back. Plenty of parking right out in front and easy to get here right off Oakton avenue.
Nothing exceptional about this cafe---just unusually expensive for two small drinks....my mom ordered a small cappuccino with almond milk and she said she enjoyed it, while I ordered a dark roast black coffee and I found it tasteless--lacking flavor. Overall, it is a decent place, and people come and go.
An absolute gem if you’ve got little kids in tow. The coffee was excellent, and there were ride-on toys, ramps, and play cars to keep my son happy while I relaxed. Such a thoughtful and fun setup. Wish my home town had a place like this!
Google coffee place and found this. I passed by this place before but did not realized it’s a cafe. The building looks just like a car garage. Coffee is good, egg cheese bagel is good. Weather is nice so we sit outside and it super relaxing. I will definitely come back here again.
