We tried Grindstone Bakery for the first time today, and we've been missing out! The bakery is located next door to the coffee shop and open on Fridays and Saturdays. They had a wonderful selection of goodies. We ended up choosing the tiramisu cookies, chocolate chip cookies, olive oil cakes w blackberry thyme jam, cinnamon rolls, and mozzarella, tomato, basil focaccia. To start the tiramisu cookies had wonderful coffee flavor, and the fresh, creamy frosting paired nicely. The chocolate chip cookies were soft, chewy, and had chocolate woven throughout. One of the best I've had! The olive cakes were good, well backed and had a delicate flavor. However, we weren't the biggest fans of the thyme flavor, but that's just our preference. The focaccia was deliciously savory, the toppings paired well with the bread without overtaking its flavor. Lastly, the showstopper, was the cinnamon roll. It was next level good, and I dare say the best I've ever had. The roll itself was soft, buttery, and full of cinnamon spice. The frosting was perfect, creamy with a delicate cream cheese flavor. I know I'm going to be craving it in the future. On top of the delicious baked goods, the interior was clean and had welcoming vibe. The employees were kind and helpful. The price for everything was $58, which makes sense with how expensive groceries are nowadays. And you're supporting a small, locally owned business. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return! read more

I love the atmosphere of Grindstone. It's the perfect spot to meet up with friends and chat on the sunroof or to study in the quiet cafe below. The coffee and matchas are delicious, and I absolutely love the seasonal and regular flavors they offer. The owner is always super nice, and the baristas are as well! read more

Seriously interesting build out. Built in front of and attached to an old house in which the bathrooms are located. Seating in a narrow (possibly) old container (?). Lovely rooftop seating . Has drive through without overhang, good for tall vehicles. Few parking options but can be found. The service was neither good or bad. They were quick to notice the errors they initially made with our drinks and equally quick to remedy it. The drinks were very good however I feel it is unnecessary to charge extra for everything (oat milk, syrups) making a reasonably priced latte costly. read more

Great coffee, friendly staff! Great ambiance, beautiful garden you can see through the window

We were in the neighborhood and noticed the great ratings. So we gave this place a try! I ordered a hot white chocolate mocha with raspberry. There's a drive- thru and dine in option for this coffee shop. The dine in options include a "bar" area near the entrance, a sitting area with tables, and outdoor/covered patio seating. They have many yummy looking pastries as well. Parking: street parking. Didn't notice a parking lot Ambience: relaxed, clean, quite in areas away from the café production. Service: fantastic. The barista was patient, welcoming as we were first timers, and helped us select our coffee. She also hand delivered The coffees to us. Coffee quality: delicious. Our coffee was moreso "warm" than "hot" so we had to drink it rather faster than normal. But the flavor and beans tasted better than many chain cafés. Price: Fair Overall rating: 4.5 read more

Thank you so much for the amazing Mocha Miss K---. Also, thank you for your kindness looking up at the monitor when my little guy ran out. Every year I travel to Huntington and spend a few days. Grindstone has been my go-to stop for locally roasted coffee and coffee drinks. The family that owns it is really nice and I usually get to have a quick chat with the Dad if he's working. Two mochas in this weekend and I am happy and caffeinated. Caffeine is my favorite drug, particularly from Grindstone. Last year I had the grilled cheese and tomato basil. This year I had an amazing bread pudding! That was the best warm bread pudding with a few shots of whipped cream on top. read more

Initially I was impressed with the quality of the coffee and the service was decent. I have also purchased at least 4 bags of coffee, multiple quiches and pastries from the shop in addition to probably a couple of dozen plus cups of coffee. This happens when I have business in Huntington. When I am there my orders are daily. However as time has gone on there seem to be some serious deficiencies with staff. I have now over the course of a few visits had a total of 5 cups of coffee which were made incorrectly. How difficult is it to squirt cane sugar into a cup? One issue is that two people end up involved in making a latte sweet and the left hand doesn't know what the right hand did. Other times it's just omitted by the single person making the order. Sunday I had guests in town staying at a local cabin. Two of us trekked down 5th Street hill to get three cups of coffee, sweet. Not only were they served with coffee dripping down the sides, but when we got back to the cabin not a single one had sweetener in it. Embarrassing when you had told your friends people this was a good place to get coffee. It's going to be a while before I stop again. When I do the place gets one chance to get it right. read more

Looking for a switch up from your road trip coffee go to? We discovered Grindstone while visiting from the west coast. Super local spot with great specialty coffees. I went with one of their chilled drinks that honestly was like sipping on dessert. No regrets. Living my life while my out of office is setup. read more

Great coffee, sweet service & awesome vibe. Art added to the already fascinating container ambiance with rooftop outdoor seating available too. Mimi LOVED the warmed pumpkin spice bread and Poppop's fork kept going for the chocolate cake doughnut. If you are driving through West Virginia, pop in! read more

I always have a top shelf experience with Grindstone. The coffee quality is, without question, the best by far and the baristas are fun and friendly. The shop has a wonderful outdoor and rooftop seating with is always a welcomed scene on pretty days. read more

This place had a drive though window, which one has to divert through a back alley a block away to get to. The window had what I think was a New Zealand flag, and a long beverage menu with a short food menu. My London Fog had various options for adding flavors or alternative milks, but I got the unmodified version. It wasn't too sweet, which is probably a good thing from a health perspective but made me wonder if adding a flavor would have been advisable. I did get double bags of Earl Grey and a satisfying enough tea experience. They are open early as a decent cafe should be, and from my search it seemed like this area only had one such shop. read more

Thank you Grindstone and manager Rachael! We're from the Columbus OH area and hosted a small wedding gathering in downtown Huntington WV. Your prompt service to fulfill two orders on two days for our wedding guests was professional and on time. Delicious coffee, tasty granola bars, but omg those cinnamon donuts, so so good! read more

Driving through on our way back to Indiana and decided to get some descent coffee and baked goods. What can I say, the coffee was great, the berry cinnamon roll was fantastic. They had gluten free options for my daughter who is celiac!! Filling out my time sheet, I set my hotspot in the window for better signal and LEFT IT! It was an hour down the road before I realized what I had done. The great folks at Grindstone were kind enough to locate said hotspot and ship it to me! Can't say enough great things about this place. Great service, great coffee and delicious food. GET YOURSELF THERE!!!! I will be back any time I'm in town! read more

I love it here. It's so cozy, and the mood is always set right. I am a HUGE coffee person, and the employees always know what I want. I usually come here to study, and they repeatedly ask if I need anything. I love all of you! Thanks for being such nice, hardworking people. Especially at 8 in the morning LOL. read more

Second time now purchasing a latte that seems to have no coffee in it. Tastes like milk with entirely too much flavored syrup in it. Unfortunate. I went back through to let them know and opted for some espresso over ice to add my own milk/flavor at home instead. read more

My wife and I stopped and spent $7 on two drinks that were so weak it was unbelievable. We took them right back in and they would not refund our money. they said they don't do refunds. The snotty girl at the register told us basically we were out of luck and that's just the way it was. do not waste your money on this disgusting sewage! they have no clue how to make coffee and how to run a business! read more

We went through the drive - thru during COVID's peak and really liked what we received. So, on this trip to Huntington, we decided on coffee here now that they have reopened inside. A very comfortable place with good drink choices, plenty of baked goods and a few sandwiches. Nice stop when in the area. read more

Grindstone Coffeeology was the perfect spot to stop to fuel up for a long road trip! Only wish it would have been around when I was in college at Marshall. I tried their flat white and an iced blueberry donut. I haven't had a great flat white since I was in Australia for my honeymoon... so Grindstone definitely hit the spot as an Aussie owned coffee shop. The iced donut was amazing... soft like a blueberry muffin but in donut form with a great cream cheese frosting. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

We were in town because our son was having surgery at Cabell Huntington Hospital. We had a flat white and a dirty chia and both were great. Would go here again. read more

Some of the best coffee I've had but the pastry quality and selection is not on the same level. Some more dense/rich pastry's would increase the quality of this shop dramatically. For a perfect example see the Fox in The Snow coffee shop in Columbus their pastry's are on another level. read more

I used to live in Huntington & fell in love with flat whites from the grindstone coffee truck that would be on campus. Now when I'm visiting I stop by their 8th Ave location. My menu favs are mixed berry smoothie, veggie quiche, flat white, and Turkish delight latte! read more

Great latte and Danish but not a place for digital nomads. Very limited indoor seating on not so sturdy bar stools with too loud and annoying background music. Beautiful windows that look out onto an old house in need of repair-A few shrubs planted in front of the peeling paint would do wonders. read more

Great coffee shop, but too expensive. Spent $20+ for two people, which is unusual in my cafe experience. The service was awesome: friendly, accommodating, and quick. The cold brew was great, but the smoothie was mediocre. The breakfast sandwich my mom had looked decent, and she said her drip coffee was good! They have a pretty big menu, and I'd say they're a perfect breakfast sandwich spot! Not a ton of gluten free options, but some (Oat Bars and Smoothies). read more

Good coffee and quick service. Nice rooftop seating if the weather is good. Order the honey bee latte. Delicious!

What a cute little coffee shop. Love the balcony on warm days and the indoor space with great art work... the bathrooms are clean in a separate building... pumpkin bread heated and iced was very good... staff were so nice... great change from Starbucks.... Try this hometown haunt! read more

A tiny coffee shop near downtown Huntington. There's not much room in here, with only a single table to sit at. It's more a place to stop in and go than one you'd want to sit down and work in. There is also a convenient drive thru. They have a pretty standard menu of espresso offerings and drip coffee. I ordered an Americano with cream and it was well made and tasty. In that respect it definitely fits the bill when you're wanting fresh coffee. read more

Been a fan and loyal customer since their days operating as a food truck around Ritter Park! Fell in love with their coffee they serve after refueling after Saturday morning runs from time to time by stopping by to see them. So happy and thrilled with how much they've grown and their customer service is probably the biggest reason why. Owners are great people and they only hire really cool folks to work on their team. read more

Cute little shop. That's why I put two stars. Stopped for a breakfast sandwich yesterday. I ordered a bacon egg & cheese bagel. Worst sandwich Ive ever had. Complete waste of money. The bacon wasnt even cooked all the way. The sandwich was on an everything bagel so all I could taste were sesame seeds & poppy seeds. The menu is hard to read so wasnt really sure what I was ordering. One bite & went in the trash. Terrible. Shop is so small you can't even move around. I wont be back. read more

Great staff. Awful alternative milk brand (silk). Would love to see Oatly brand Oat Milk or Pacific brand almond milk. Silk is... definitely never a favorite. Thanks for your service, though! read more

Great coffee, good place to do work as a student (although small place). Cinnamon donut was delicious, and so was the hot mocha. Hoping they improve the quality of their egg sandwiches soon though.. this is very needed! Wonderful to support this local business! read more

Always good, always consistent. Great vibes and friendly staff. Banana bread is superb (get it warmed with butter)

Great coffee! Great, friendly service! Yummy eats! I've been a fan since Grindstone was Bonnie the coffee truck!

I had a great true macchiato (small dollop of foam on two shots of espresso), but what really stood out was the kindness of the staff. Bonus: fun building made out of containers, with a lovely upper deck. read more

The coffee here is great and reasonably priced. The workers are always friendly and willing to start up a conversation.

Super yummy and amazing staff. Wouod definitely go again. Also a great place if you have any questions about the area and things to do And great information if you're moving positives and negatives of all the little areas. read more
