I was in town visiting family. My grandson and like to try new places The Grind Cafe popped up on Apple Maps. Great food, service and ambiance. First I like places with menu on a blackboard. Garth greeted us when we walked in the door and delivered excellent service. Garth recognized my grandson was struggling with the selection and Garth proactively helped. For food we had a scone, loved it. Drinks were 9 out of 10. I would go back. read more

The Grind Cafe is a refreshing change of pace from the typical coffee shops we have all come to expect. It has been one of my mainstay locations whenever I visit Racine and I have dropped by early in the morning when driving to Chicago (as early as 6:45 am), in addition to the more common situation, a Saturday or Sunday morning for a pick up or to catch up on some work. The location is large and has plenty of seating for groups and those doing work. My main drink is the iced mocha which is bold and not overly sweet (has a richer taste) and the espresso used include local roasters like Anodyne. In addition, they offer a loyalty card for multiple visits. I look forward to continuing to visit and supporting a nice local coffee shop. read more

Question: What should you do if your town has both a Starbucks and a super awesome, locally owned, personality oozing, top quality latte making cafe that displays and sells the wares of local artists all with outlets, free wifi and the kindest owners and workers on the planet? Yeah, you go to the Grind Cafe. To those who answered correctly you get an A+ on your paper and get to skip the final. To the rest of you... SMH. read more

The Grind Cafe - Caramel Apple Latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

Great paninis. Homemade bakery/quiche, delicious coffee choices, (Anodyne - BayView, Milwaukee) reasonable prices. It's nice to support local businesses. Try the breakfast in a cup (meal replacement) smoothie! And ask about the breakfast menu. Also keep in mind that any drink can be made decaf, hot, cold, or blended as a frappe. And they have more flavor options than what's listed on the board! read more

Cute little place, I appreciated them adding greens to my superfruit smoothie since I'd been traveling and didn't have access to my usual daily smoothie. Also, they were super sweet to my 3-year-old and even had a table of toys for her to play with. read more

The Grind Cafe - Super fruit smoothie with added greens, plus a dark roast. Both were tasty. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

Found this place on Yelp, looking for a better coffee stop in the morning than Starbucks or Dunkin. This place is it. Food is great, coffee is truly excellent and service was friendly. Best coffee place in Racine I've found over probably 15 times in the area - it will be my go-to morning cup-o-joe and breakfast place. read more

The Grind gives Mount Pleasant a good name despite its urban sprawl community plan. The panini sandwiches my wife and I had were made by a very friendly gentlemen--with a wild mane of hair all over his face and head--and they were very scrumptious. I think he was a hippie or something. But anyway, the real thing to try here is a thing called "breakfast-in-a-cup." My mouth sent a message to my brain informing it that the breakfast-in-a-cup is easily one of the best smoothies it's ever had. My brain trusts my mouth, so I have to agree. It runs around 6 bucks. The Grind is a pleasant and well managed addition to the community. It rocks. read more

Highly recommended for coffee & sandwiches in Racine. They really care about doing things well. They use beans from very good roasters in Milwaukee, Anodyne and Stone Creek. They do excellent panini that are a steal at $5 (and would cost twice that in San Francisco). They make their own very good gelato in house. They just got back from a tour of Italy structured around a barista competition. That's how much passion they have for what they do, and you can sense it in everything they make. It's in a very unassuming location but worth seeking out. Little tip: try the Italian sodas. They're mixed fresh with sparkling water and your choice of fine Monin syrups. They beat anything in a can. I haven't Yelped in years but wanted to come out of retirement for a minute to put in a good word for The Grind. I was born and raised in Racine and am very happy that this is there. read more

I would never have found this place without yelp, it's tucked between an urgent care center and physical therapist. Boy, am I glad I did. They use beans from Anodyne, who I had never heard of before (usually it's stone creek or Anodyne around MKE). Even though I usually go for dark roasts, I got their light roast and was blown away; it was just fruity enough while still retaining just enough darkness. The cranberry walnut that I also picked up was perfectly sized, and not too sweet. Seriously a hidden treasure, if you are a coffee snob like myself, this is a must visit in Racine read more

Nice little place tucked away off Highway 20 in Racine, across from Case High School. They have Valentine Coffee Roasters coffee available, always a bonus! Would love to see some more gluten free options there. I'll be back! read more

This is hands down the best place to get an espresso drink in Racine. Espresso drinks are one of those things that I get pretty disappointed about when it doesn't taste just right. I don't have that problem here! The drinks are consistently delicious. Additionally, their food selection is great when you're craving a good cafe soup and sandwich with quality ingredients. Service has always been friendly. If I lived in Racine I would be a regular! read more

I was a regular customer there. I went in there and ordered a large tea and to my surprise was refused my drink that was nearly $3 because I didn't have cash to pay the $4 minimum. I explained that I n ever had a problem before. The lady, who I knew was the owner, made sure to let me know she was the owner and then said while her ugly face twitched, that her employees shouldn't have been doing that. Her husband is a nice guy, the wife is a total... I won't be going back. I never did anything to deserve that kind of disrespect and attitude. read more

Having grown up in Seattle, I love coffee. I was over the moon to discover The Grind Cafe on a recent visit to Racine. Quite possibly the best coffee I have ever had ( I HIGHLY recommend the honey latte). Quality and local ingredients. Friendly, awesome owners. If only I could be so lucky to have a coffee shop like this in the DC area. I will make a point of stopping by (every day) of my next visit. read more

The food is AH MAZ ING!!! Had the mozzarella tomato Panini and the chicken enchilada soup it was delicious. Grabbed the blueberry muffin just because it too looked amazing and it was!!! The service was great! A little slow but anything made with love takes time! Great place to sit and relax on lunch read more

The coffee tastes great and scones, muffins, cookies etc are very good and fresh. Staff is friendly too.

This coffee shop is ADORABLE and very cozy with large enough space to accommodate a book club or small group gathering. They feature live music occasionally on weekends. The Grind Cafe serves a wonderful assortment of well blended coffees hand picked by the owner. Personal service, great prices, and convenient location on Hwy. 20 next to Razor fitness. Excellent foam for latte drinkers! They also serve gelato, soups, sandwiches, and pastries. Owned and operated by a husband and wife team- this is a jewel of Racine not to be missed. read more

I've had the coffee and food once before and it was great. Unfortunately, it takes a very long time to even order. I was just there, with only one person in front of me and two people behind the counter working. After 5 minutes of the cashier and customer chatting and the other employee ignoring me, I walked out. Wish I could have given them 5 stars for the quality, but you can't earn quality if the employees don't care if you place the order. read more

Great little place for coffee! Service was good and so was my hot mocha; so good in fact, that I didn't even think about snapping a photo until it was gone! Oops, maybe next time. read more

I would recommend to anybody. Plan on bring my mother here. Hope to return soon to try the breakfast smoothie...(with no bananas). Tried the caramel Royale and I love it. It's quiet ( I came in at 8:06 a.m) . Looks ravishing and I would come here when I need thinking time to study. I will be returning lol. read more

A pretty great but out of the way coffee house. The service was excellent and the brew way better than the crap you get at the chains like Starbucks and DD Donut factory. The grind café is perhaps one of the better independent coffee chains in the area although the strip mall and far away form the road look is pretty generic. I think it is part of a neighboring health club and physical therapy business. You don't have to be a member to go here though and I highly recommend this place for people wishing to have a more unique and sit down coffee experience read more

I drove out to the Grind from Racine with high hopes, after reading the good reviews on Yelp. On one hand, the baked goods are absolutely DELICIOUS and worth every penny, and the employees are nice. Local art for sale is featured on the walls, which is a great touch. The industrial location (between Aurora clinic and fitness center) was pretty disappointing, as was the cafe's loud music. The coffee was okay, but nothing to write home about. I was hoping to enjoy a book over coffee and a treat, but could barely hear myself think over the music and employee chatter. I really wanted to like The Grind, but am sad to say I won't return. read more

This is an excellent coffee shop in Racine. The coffee is excellent and the owner is super nice!

So glad Yelp recommend us to this great little cafe!! Stopped for a light lunch and coffee. Had some delicious tomato basil soup with toast, plus a great cup of coffee. My friend loved her honey latte, too. But the best part of the experience was the great atmosphere and super friendly service. I was proud of how my friends (from out of state) reacted to the Wisconsin hospitality we received. Loved everything! read more

Absolutely first class! The BEST scones I have ever had, delicious coffee, and friendly service!

I came in to try this place out-super excited because ofthe raves I've been hearing. Coffee was good, but I am only giving 2 stars because this place is FILTHY. Unclean, messy, open containers everywhere, spills, dirty dishes, you name it. The interior also seems a bit uncreative-a rip off of Wilson's and Mocha Lisa. read more

Met with three friends here at 11:00 a.m. None of us had been to this cafe, but I had seen the good reviews on yelp. I had chai tea which was delicious. I also had a cup of the pot pie soup and it was very good. My friends had the breakfast scrambles which everyone seemed to enjoy. One of my friends also got an enormous peanut butter cookie. It was a nice place to sit and visit with friends. I will be back to try more of their food and drinks. read more

In town for work and found this via Yelp. Super friendly people, best scone ever and of course they have great coffee. Definitely my go to coffee spot the next few days while I'm in town. Also love supporting the small businesses in the area with many "chain" options nearby. read more

Great coffee, nice place. Excellent service. Kinda out of the way for Racine. For future reference it is close to 94

Great food, great drinks, fantastic service! Love this place! My only con is it's so far from where I live. Racine could really use more cafes like this! read more
