Cool place with very friendly service. My wife is hard to please when it comes to her chai tea lattes, but she liked this one. And my iced mocha latte was excellent too. read more

This location of The Southern Grind Coffee House is in The Wharf and I've been here several times. They have decent food and a good selection of gelato. They also obviously have coffee which VERY sadly they don't offer whole cream as an option and only have the weak and pathetic half and half so you have to bring your own whole cream if you want a real coffee experience. This place is also full to the brim with lots of retail items so you can shop, drink coffee and eat all in the same space. read more

The food was hot and fresh and the coffee was smooth. The restaurant is clean and there's lots to catch the eye 10/10 recommend read more

Such a cute coffee and breakfast shop. Upon walking in they have the cutest merch. Very coastal vibes. I ended up getting a sausage biscuit and a tea. Everything was delicious. Customer service was great! read more

Grits were like soup and the cheese didn't even melt in it. Very expensive for what you got.

The coffee is great, the shopping is even better! The coffee had a unique taste and that was refreshing. I bought the most beautiful necklace as a souvenir for myself as I'm visiting from out of town. Staff is very friendly, and the coffee shop has the best beach vibe! read more

If you're ever stopping by or going through orange beach and need a good quick breakfast/brunch with coffee, this is your spot! Cute little Nick Nacs you can purchase including their coffee beans! They have gelato too! Favorite coffee is the honeybee lavender which is a seasonal special during the summer season! It's sweet but not too sweet! This is located in the floor lobby of the indigo hotel. Service is 10/10 read more

The place is exactly what I would expect if you asked me to define a coastal coffee shop. The Coffee Shop is owned by Jim and Jaime McPhillip. Jim does the cooking and Jaime does the decorating and designing. She created most of the pieces you see in the store and can purchase. I love love love the decor they have! I mean seriously I wanted to bring Jaime home so she could decorate my house. I asked her. She just laughed. I don't think she realized how serious I was I could go on and on about their decor, but I did have food too and it was really good. First off they're a coffee house. I'm not really a coffee drinker, but I did get a fantastic vanilla chai tea. The waitress recommended the jalapeño potato scramble and I took her advice. It was so good! I ordered the cheesy grits. I've never found grits I liked until now! They were cheesy and creamy and had substance. I ate the whole bowl! read more

Always my favorite coffee shop when I'm at the beach! Great service. Matcha teas are great. Always clean and friendly. Banana foster coffee is my all time favorite. It also makes an amazing iced coffee at home during the summer. Highly recommend read more

Service was HORRIBLE. The cashier had a very bad attitude and was being very disrespectful and unprofessional. The food was not terrible but after going there. The experience was terrible. read more

Always a fan favorite for us. The coffee is really good. My go to is the Lavander honey coffee. I did try the banana foster which was good but their cold foam is way too heavy and they added way too much for my small coffee. Cream brûlée iced coffee is really good too. I love love love their breakfast bagels and my dad is a real big fan of their breakfast biscuit. Some things are priced too high. I saw a side of fruit was 7.99. Too crazy. read more

Coffee shop in The Wharf. Open early before the shops open. Order from the counter and they bring food to you. Beverages get picked up at counter. Large tables available for groups. Large breakfast menu and drink choices. Seasonal lattes and gelato. Omelets are large and come with potatoes. Breakfast croissants have a large portion of eggs. Bacon had a lot of flavor. Sausage was a bit bland. read more

First off my family likes this place and the awesome vacation vibe it provides. However the quality of drinks for the price can be inconsistent and the customer service was extremely poor. One example was them refusing to give my daughter a glass of tap water. Which most coffee places have already out and complimentary. I was shocked and decided to verify, yes they refused and told her if she wanted water she have to buy a bottle for $3. I don't inherently get upset about it and I didn't but thought I would write this review to inform others of my experience. Feel free to come and enjoy the offerings just don't be shocked by lack of customer service. read more

This is an excellent coffee company and they have a light breakfast/lunch menu with gelato on the side. We were greeted with enthusiasm and our order was taken as if we were the only customers in the house. The place is always clean but we chose to sit outside for the weather was great this morning! Our food temperature was perfect and the taste was excellent! Again we were pleased with both our flavor of the day coffees and the choice of our food. We will definitely be back now that summer is over and the tourists have left. read more

Inside includes a beachy gift shop with lots to choose from. We did breakfast - the chicken biscuit (homemade biscuit was delicious) breakfast potatoes and the Avacado melt. Food was great - nice place to rest and cool off. We also did a gelato the evening before which was good also. Counter service but they bring the good to you. Would come again. read more

Had an early lunch to escape the electrical work in my home. This is a laid back beachy coffee shop that serves breakfast, lunch, baked goods and ice cream in addition to coffee drinks, smoothies and tea. Today was super quiet with school back in session! Staff accommodated my request for a light toast on the panini since I just had a root canal. I love looking at all the beachy decor and gain inspiration each time I relax here. This Wharf location is super busy in summer but has outside porch seating with umbrellas when its cool and for those with doggos! Total bill for all pictured was $17.04 and I happily left a tip for the counter staff. fyi There's a second location on the beach road at Hotel Indigo. read more

Coffee is awful. Their handcrafted lattes are way too sweet and their coffee (plain latte) tastes like flowers and watery milk. I would not recommend if you are looking for good coffee. Starbucks is better read more

Nicely designed space. The service at the counter was good and our food came out quick. Chloe- Avocado Egg Melt- 3/5 Every bite of egg was covered by the cheese and plenty of avocado. Liked the addition of salsa. After some salt and pepper it was a good nutritious start of the day. Jackson- Cinnamon Maple Crème Brûlée Latte- 5/5 The latte had a strong Crème Brûlée flavor while still having a solid taste of espresso! Steak, Egg, and Cheese Wrap- 3/5 The steak and egg were unseasoned however the steak was very tender. After adding some salt & pepper along with the delicious salsa, it tasted great! The salsa was very good and tasted homemade with the perfect amount of spice. Overall-3.5/5 read more

Good coffee flavor and nice area at The Wharf. Looking forward to start trying my bag of coffee I also got

Nothing southern about this place, save your money unless you enjoy freshly nuked, bland food, served by a rude staff. McDonalds has better, you were warned lol read more

This is the cutest coffee shop, and they have food! We stopped in just looking for some caffeine and breakfast and were delighted with everything we had. First, the atmosphere was adorable and welcoming. To my delight, they had several sugar free flavors for coffee. My sugar free iced vanilla latte was so good that we went back later that afternoon for another! My husband's cold brew was delicious as well and he got not one but two later that day. For food, I had the protein toast and it was delicious. The seasoning was right and the wheat toast had that perfect crunch. My son got the waffles with strawberries and cream, and the teal whipped cream was an adorable surprise. My husband had a bowl with biscuits and gravy and liked his as well. Overall, I would recommend! read more

Beware, the service is incredibly slow. They said it would be 30 minutes for food and it was an hour. Food was basically a skimpy microwaved chicken sandwich. Coffee is not that great either. Much better options around town. Don't waste your time. read more

We were among the first six people to arrive for breakfast minutes before it opened at 6:30 AM. We were the second couple to order breakfast- a biscuit sandwich and an omelette. 30 minutes later we still had not received our food so we left. Will not be returning. read more

Decided to give this place a try because of all the positive review, but unfortunately the reviews didn't match the quality of the food. You don't have a waiter or waitress. You order at the front counter, and find an available seat after. Luckily we went around 9-10 on a Sunday so there were not many people. If you order drinks. They call your name and you have to get it from the counter. The drinks and food are not cheap, and I have to get my own drink! They do bring your food to you. If you ask for ketchup or hot sauce they give you small packets. Jalapeño potato scrambler - basically an omelet. Not spicy at all. Mainly just cheese. The Belgian waffle was extremely hard. Wasn't that good. My salted caramel drink was awful. Tasted like syrup and sugar. Way to sweet. It's a nice area that the restaurant is in. Plenty of shops to walk around and go shopping. Overall, I wouldn't come back. Overpriced for the quality that you get. One of those restaurants that you try one time and that's it. read more

What a lovely place to get delicious coffee, breakfast and all kinds of knick-knacks.. lovely the color theme too!

Coffee was eh, service was eh, not a great place to study or read not really my kind of coffee house

The food is entirely too expensive for the quality and flavor. Go somewhere else. The place is nice on the inside.

We usually stop in and get food on our trips. We tell people to get coffee here in our rental guidebooks. We ordered food for our family (on our second visit this week) and asked for ice waters to go with them from the person ringing us up that was drinking iced water from a branded cup. We were told they "can't let us have any water. It's company policy. We can only have ice." We've never been to a coffee shop that doesn't have this available for free or a minimal charge to cover the cost of the cup. I get that they want to charge $2+ per water, but as a large family, that would be almost $20 with tax for waters. That's just silly. Ironically, they give out free water for dogs.. just not humans. We'll frequent Beach Girl coffee from here on out and take advantage of their rewards program, free waters, and free stickers for kids. read more

The food was good! We tried a couple of different versions of the avocado toast. Chicken biscuits were also good. The breakfast potatoes were pretty standard, but they were crisp and fresh! This cafe is also connected to the hotel Indigo which would be Very convenient for those staying there. I saw several people walk directly from the lobby into the cafe. It was all so pretty! Everything is light blue, white and wood tones. They also have a shopping area with coffee cups, trinkets, books, toys, and coffee beans. Vast majority of the staff was kind. I think one person may have been having an off day? It was a little expensive as well. I would definitely return though! I would like to try other menu items. read more
