I tried the Canaan Conquest, which combines espresso with honey, cinnamon, and steamed milk, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced, making for a smooth, flavorful drink that I'll definitely order again. If you're looking for a cozy coffee shop with friendly service and excellent coffee, I highly recommend stopping by Holy Grind Coffee House. I'll definitely be back!

The parking is also very generous along, and has the convenience of a drive thru. I ordered from their season menu, and chose the banana bread latte. It was delicious. I absolutely loved it. It was the most blended banana flavor I've had, not artificial tasting at all. The people at the counter were friendly, and quick to take my order. I will say that prices are a little higher than I'm used to, but the latte was worth the extra money.

Expect a wait, especially on giveaway/sticker days! Be sure to use their app to keep up with that stuff, so you know when to brave the crowd for a free drink koozie, or avoid if you're running late at work. I like their Rebel drinks, but something in the coffee flavor doesn't sit well with me at all. I tried two coffees different times and the taste of, I guess the espresso? just does not hit with me. But you can't go wrong with a Red Bull and a lot of flavored syrup, so I go with that. I may just be getting old, but they do play their music a bit too loud. Almost hard to hear what they're saying, which is a shame since they're trained to be super nice and talkative. But they are indeed really nice, even making sure I got an impulse buy of banana bread really quickly. The long and short is: Expect lines and a wait. Maybe get a free sticker. Get a Rebel drink and enjoy!

Apparently the Yelp listing has been updated, thank God. When I brought this up for the second time two days ago, this reply was "You didn't buy anything when you reminded me about updating my Yelp listing". This ad hominem comeback does nothing to help his business, and instead of humbly acknowledging my helpful suggestion, he made that nasty comment, which by the way was incorrect. I always buy coffee and pastry when I visit this place. I told him that if his expenses exceed his profits, he will need to close down because he has formidable competition two blocks down on the same street in the name of a coffee shop called Press and Porter. The customer always benefits from competition, and when I was at Press & Porter two days ago, I counted 29 people in there, and upon returning to Crane Coffee, there were only four people in there. I have never seen more than seven people in there at one time. The manager has an incredible responsibility to make this place successful and quickly, because there are 14 other retail establishments in this building, now called Concord Exchange. You could say that his location is the anchor store, being on the second floor and overlooking Union Street. If he needs to close due to lack of profits, you can imagine the repercussions that would have for the 14 other retail establishments in this recently renovated downtown Concord building. His coffee shop would be the first one to fail in this venture. Keep in mind, I am a fan of this place and I left a five star review previously, and my comments are only meant to help the manager right this ship. As a successful small business owner myself, I always cheer for the underdog, and I would really like him to be successful.

I thought she was very friendly, she even complimented my top and made small talk while she crafted my latte. There's only one size available for iced drinks, 16oz, I believe, and my seasonal latte clocked in at over $7. With tip, I thought the price tag was a little steep. I'm not sure what they pay for rent or the raw materials for the coffee bar, but everything did taste fresh and the aesthetic inside is very relaxing and welcoming. I saw several people enjoying their drinks while working or reading.

I've tried every single concoction they've made since moving to the Concord area a year ago. My favorites have been the cherry pie concrete, pumpkin pie concrete, chocolate cake sundae, blueberry cobbler sundae & concrete, lemon bar concrete and strawberry shortcake sundae. The shakes and sodas are amazing. Also, the cones are made fresh daily and really good. Best of all you can customize your custard any way you want which is great for cravings.

Of course I joined the rewards program to get notifications on the new desserts that will be featured and get points for purchases. Who doesn't love free frozen custard for being a loyal customer. Needless to say I get those freebies quite often. Clearly I'm obsessed with Andy's. Depending on how long the drive thru line is, I usually take my Andy's to go, but on those hot summer nights there's nothing like sitting outside and enjoying my little cup of frozen heaven.
