Nice place for lunch and coffee. Lunch sandwiches were plentiful and very tasty. The coconut pie was awesome. read more

Absolutely one of the best breakfast places in the plateau. Coffee is solid--top notch vanilla latte. Recommend the cinnamon roll. Then add the two eggs and bacon plate. Great value and crispy bacon. You order at the counter, find a chair and food is delivered. If only they would get the WiFi working consistently. Room is comfy, grab a place by the windows read more

Cute place. Nice atmosphere, pretty much what you expect from a nifty little coffee shop. I live that they serve breakfast and lunch all day. The gal at the register was super friendly as was everyone we interacted with. I ordered the breakfast Panini and a chai latte and a blueberry muffin. The latte was pretty standard and good. Muffin actually tasted store bought but wow that breakfast sandwich knocked it out out of the park. The rosemary Parmesan butter really leveled it up. The homemade sauce did too. Nice thick bacon. Wish I lived closer! Hubby ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon and a white cho mocha. Coffee was good and bacon was perfect. I think they came in orders of three or five people and he ordered three. Biscuits and gravy were nothing to rave about. He actually said one of the biscuits was quite tough and hard to eat. Gravy was basic and a little on the bland side. Overall, very nice place and would definitely stop there again. read more

There a some great options for GF individuals. I am so happy that they have GF brownies. The coffees are so good. Recommend a London fog w/lavender and a lavender latte. Every time I've gone there the service is quick and the employees are super kind. The ambience is your typical coffee house. Definitely recommended every time. read more

Grinder House Shop - Avocado toast, eggs, and bacon. Griswald latte. Yummy. Everyone was super nice that works there. - Cafes Near Me - Crossville, Tennessee

Super beautiful place in a small downtown area with an amazing piano in an old building on Main Street. I have to admit that the announced pastry case was rather disappointing, scones were not in the case and there was generally only one kind available. No danish and I could not see and bagels. 4.50$ is steep for a scone or is it me? Maybe they should just put it in a small bag instead of wrapping it very elaborate? I took an iced blueberry matcha with it that was surprisingly good. The hound lady at the register was a little arrogant and didn't have a smile for customers . I wish I would have time to come here at night with the piano going. Update! I already was on my way when I unwrapped the scone it was ice cold and so old that I could hardly break it. I turned around and brought it back . Mikaela at the register gave me my money back without even looking at it, zero apologies, no offers to get me something fresh or different , very disappointed read more

Great coffee and friendly staff! The staff greets you as you approach and are helpful with suggestions. Love this place!

We stopped here for breakfast our second morning in town. Four of us on a Saturday morning and it's good that we arrived ahead of the crowd. It was busy when we arrived and mobbed by the time we left. Two of us had the Angela scramble and shared an order of the lemon zest pancakes. Another member of our party had waffle and bacon, and the fourth had eggs and bacon with toast. First, let me just rave about the lemon zest pancakes. We added blueberries and they were delicious. We agreed that they are the best commercial pancakes we've ever had. They arrived hot, still crisp, and with the nicest lemon flavor ever. With the blueberries, they were much like a lemon-blueberry turned into pancakes. Lovely. We both enjoyed the Angela scramble, a nice combination of egg, sausage, tomato, cheddar, and avocado. The little cup of fruit that accompanied it was small but it was all fresh. The other couple said their waffles and bacon were great. One had a vanilla latte, the other coffee. The drink menu is extensive and we enjoyed our choices. Take the time to stop in! read more

WOW! The food and the service were outstanding! Everyone in our party had various meals and desserts and everyone was impressed. Be sure to stop in if you're looking for delicious sandwiches. read more

The food has gone downhill tremendously. The last 5 meals I've eaten were awful I take home and dump. Today I got breakfast panini it was greasy and the bread was covered with sprinkle on rosemary , I nearly choked. The last was a breakfast wrap sausage and scrambled egg it looked like mush in a wrap main half in the trash. Was my ho yo when I had company, no more! read more

Stephanie took care of us from the moment we walked in. No stranger to hard work, but everything is so good here from people to coffee to food that the"hard work" is easily hidden. Breakfast served even during lunch menu hours. Great drink and food selection. We will be back! read more

Grinder House Shop - Farmers breakfast with homemade biscuits and gravy, scone of the day, vege breakfast wrap. Not pictured: pumpkin latte - Cafes Near Me - Crossville, Tennessee

This coffee shop is Crossville's own "Central Perk" - eclectic decor, delicious coffee, and kind staff! I often drive past Crossville for work, and noticed a sign for Grinder House Coffee during my last trip. I ordered a Pumpkin Oat Chai with a Turkey Panini. Both were delicious- the panini was loaded with turkey, cheese, and rosemary, and came with a side of house-made chips. Although I didn't stay long, I found the coffee shop and staff to be very charming and my new favorite spot when on I-40! read more

The place was abuzz at lunchtime on a weekday, which is always a good sign! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and you can see the local pride. Great options on the menu with some enticing vegetarian dishes to choose from! The House potatoes were PERFECT & my lunch mate LOVED the build your own burger. The service was very friendly and approachable- I highly recommend! read more

Prices keep going up. Now they don't put avocado on Angela Scramble and don't have coffee cards. Disappointed in them cutting corners. Won't go as often as I used to. read more

Busy on this Saturday morning at 9am. This place is more than a coffee shop! Full breakfast and lunch menu, both served all day. I ordered the Angela's Scramble....yummy! Nice portion size (we shared) and great flavor. For coffee I got the featured coffee, hibiscus honey oat latte... delicious Hubby got black coffee, dark, and he enjoyed that Plenty of tables, both high tops and low tops, couch and easy chair. And apparently they do live music at some point. Prices are typical (I hate discussing prices unless they are super low or super high and not worth it). So for our 2 coffees and one breakfast it was $24. Parking is on the street or a nearby small lot. I didn't drive here or park so I'm not really sure but for locals in sure they know the tricks. But if you're visiting this place is worth finding a parking space This place hits all the right buttons, plenty of space, great coffee and food, friendly staff. My only negative comment would be if you want an intimate place to perhaps read or study this might not be it unless you go at a quieter time of day. Otherwise I suggest you give this place a try! read more

Great coffee shop with delicious breakfast and sandwiches. The evening concerts are always a great time.

Love this place! Friendly people, delicious food, cozy atmosphere & great fresh coffee. Best breakfast spot around. Come hungry. One thing: please stay open longer! read more

Great spot for coffee and food! Wonderful staff and great customer service. They make a really great mocha and the atmosphere is great to get comfortable and just enjoy your drink. Food was delish. I had a chicken caprese flatbread that was the special of the day. Two thumbs up! The next day I had the chicken salad croissant...I need more than two thumbs to give it the rating it truly deserves! The chicken salad mix with cranberry and pecans was amazing but how they toast the croissant is what really makes the sandwich my fave. Wish my business trip was longer so I could try more of the menu. I hope to be back just to eat here again! read more

Grinder House Shop - GH Chicken Salad Croissant! Super delicious - Cafes Near Me - Crossville, Tennessee

This is an authentic local coffeehouse in every sense of the word right down to the homemade-like pastries and up to the tin ceiling. It's kind of dark and cozy, and filled with old men chatting about religion, real estate agents trying to make a sale and college coeds. The joint felt like the place to see and be seen. We were served quickly, and my Americano was super hot, the hubs' latte foamy and creamy. The quiche was tasty with a perfect crumbly crust (a sure sign it was made with butter), and my husband was pleased to find B&G (biscuits and gravy) on the menu. Lots of sausage in that gravy! Both entrees came with a side of fruit, comprised mostly of grapes. Apparently, they host musicians on the regular, and I found a beer/wine list, so they must have a liquor license. read more

They are always so friendly, coffee and food amazing oh yeah, and if you're in a hurry, they are always very fast too!

5 minutes drive after leaving the gig way. Super cute place, nice service and community. Their Americano was ok but we liked their ice coffe and cortada. Avocado toast was the real stuff. Delicious. read more

Giving this only a 3-star because today I noticed a significant change in service from at least a dozen other visits in the past 3-4 years. Is there new management/ownership? Sandwich and coffee were delicious, so that was a plus. read more

I was in town for three days and ate here twice. First was lunch-burger-delicious- thick & juicy-PERFECT! I returned for breakfast and Oh My Stars-had the breakfast flatbread and it was a tongue slapper! So good in fact-I took a picture. You don't want to miss this one! Coffee was perfect, atmosphere casual, employees were nice and helpful and attentive. Coming from Atlanta I thought it was very reasonably priced for the quality of the food. I will be back! The flatbread is $15 read more

Grinder House Shop - This is the breakfast....it's a food of the Gods! - Cafes Near Me - Crossville, Tennessee

Went here multiple times with my family for coffee and food. All of it was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely in this place.

Free coffee or espresso drink when you check-in here. No masks here at all required, none on the staff at all, patrons aren't required to wear them either. Whatever. Thankfully we are fully vaccinated for over 2 weeks now. Yet they have signs that they have taken the Tennessee pledge to sanitize and for air disinfection too. There's a table over yonder with 12 in the party. We will need to get quickly adjusted to the more laid back pandemic response down here, it's all based on comfort after all. We ordered a daddy's biscuit with gravy on the side, two Angela's scramble as well, one less sausage, one without sausage, they come with fruit. Added a caramel macchiato, one daddy's biscuit and one homemade cinnamon roll too. Grabbed a random latte to We just waited to take our masks off until the food arrived since our runner would not be wearing a mask bringing out our food at all. The bill total was $32.54. Coffee and tea were out in minutes, food is taking a while longer, it's been over 23 minutes, no cinnamon roll yet, that was supposed to be the first to come out. It's most likely due to the large party of 12. Most of the food was out by 25 minutes, except for the cinnamon roll. The daddy's biscuit was dried out and bland and brittle, it wasn't carb worthy at all, even the Smucker's strawberry didn't help much at all. The Angela's scramble was decent, mine was quite tasteless without the sausage in it, thus more garlic or seasoning would have helped it some. The eggs were okay, some wrinkled pan pieces in my portion. My husband liked his Angela's scrambled and the sausage had a bit of kick to it too. The cinnamon roll was okay, it wasn't warm and was a bit hard, additionally the icing was sugar based, cream cheese icing would have made it better for me. The best part of my meal was the side of fresh fruit. read more

Food is great. Never had a bad item. Deserts are awesome, music top notch! Drinks are da bomb. BUT they need to really manage the assigned seat situation for the In the House events. Too many folks take other peoples seats as no one really works the entrance. Perhaps verify ticket seat location when taking first order at the table to avoid the mixup.‍ read more

My friend and I stopped by after a hike to get lunch and coffee. We both ordered Walnut cranberry salad. It came on a large flat plate with raspberry dressing on the side. The salad was very good, and the dressing was not overly sweet. I was impressed by their coffee as well. It was by far better than Starbucks, and I enjoyed a cup of black deliciousness. The ambience did not disappoint either. The music motif was felt throughout the building, although I wasn't sure if they actually had live music there at any point. Finally, customer service was average. The lady who brought us our salads did not say a word, but the woman who I ordered from was very friendly. I guess it's a hit and miss. Overall, I would definitely come back! read more

Excellent breakfast option! The service was excellent and the coffee was great. i had the stuffed French toast and it was amazing.

We had another great lunch here and even brought guests. Hubs had a sandwich, i had quiche.

Yum! Loved the feel of this spot as soon as we stepped through the door. We missed their Friday night music, but will be back for it in the future! It has an artistic feel with some country jazz notes and feels like a cafe of friends. We purchased lunch, coffee and some delicious treats. The chocolate cake was to die for and took us several days to finish FYI! The coffee was spot on and smooth, making me regret not getting the largest size. Our food was delicious and fresh, and the options gave us a desire to return for more choices. My salad had just the right amount of tart to sweet and the house made dressing was the perfect topping. We loved this find and will return! read more

Great place to get a mug of coffee and just set and watch the world go by. Foods decent and service is excellent.

The eggs were nicely marbled. The fruit had a lovely variety (not a fan of the majority big pieces of cantaloupe most places have). I do wish grits were available all the time, not just seasonal. It had fun bohemian atmosphere and service was friendly. read more

Great breakfast sandwich and coffee. The service was prompt. The place had great ambiance hip and trendy.

While visiting Crossville, I had a wonderful experience at Grinder House. Upon walking in I noticed the super creative and cool decor, the ambience was unique and inviting.

Stumbled upon this place on Yelp when I was working in the area looking for something unique. I called to ask about the soup of the day and the recording was upbeat and to be honest cracked me up! I learned they are so much more than a local coffee shop. Fast forward to online ordering... the best! I ordered a garden breakfast wrap that came with fruit. It was hands down in the top 3 breakfast wraps I've ever had. Carefully crafted with fresh ingredients. Seriously support this small local business! I promise the top notch customer service and good eats won't let you down! read more

This place is amazing! Local mom and pop joint located right in the heart of Crossville, TN provides excellent coffee, great customer service and a rustic, chill, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere! I am in from North Carolina visiting family and love a good fresh brewed coffee. I chose this place because it was close and also offered a free drink with a check in on Yelp! The coffee is wonderful! Driving past this place to park starting from the outside looking in you can tell this place is going to be great! Walking through the doors it's got a very chill vibe, immediate recognition by the staff welcoming you to their establishment. Proceeded to the counter where I met a younger gentleman along with a female and older male. Everyone was so kind as I ordered my drink. The staff was very talkative before, during and after my purchase! I will definitely be back if not tomorrow definitely the next time I'm back in Tennessee! read more

Absolutely love the ambiance and menu! We very much enjoyed our meal and the experience. Delicious wraps and green salad with chicken. My chipotle chicken sandwich could not have been better - perfect. The only improvement might be the service time which was a bit long and I noticed 2 women waiting an extraordinarily long time to get what looked like only a few sandwiches to go. Maybe order ahead. Regardless we will likely be back - the desserts look fantastic. read more
