I typically just opt for a black coffee because we don't often get a ton of time to get coffee before service starts, but they're bigger than the free cups and every once in a while it's a nice switch up. Everyone working is really nice and friendly and it's a nice place to mingle while you wait for your drinks and meet other parishioners.

Their rotating menu keeps things interesting. Great coffee flavor mixed with creative freedoms of coffee creations! I've taken multiple out-of-town friends here and they have all been impressed! The service is great with expert baristas willing to answer any and all questions. The ambiance is photo-worthy and peaceful enough for college students or working professionals to work from a secondary location! I tried the Apple, Spice, + Everything nice today and was impressed by the genuine Apple flavor. Some shops go wrong and make a candle-flavored Apple coffee, not Zen! I encourage everyone to find their Zen and give this place a try, you will not be disappointed!

The cashier was friendly and helped me apply the eGift card that I had purchased. The Bees Knees Latte that I used to order is no longer on the menu, so I tried a Honey Bee, similar, just without the aromatics. Not as good, but I am sure I could have asked for something closer to the original latte, so that is not on them. Ambience is great, well decorated, and plenty of tables. The baristas were having a conversation that would be deemed inappropriate by many, especially since the young man had a few colorful things to say that got some good laughs from his coworkers; luckily, I don't mind hearing the gossip while I wait for my beverage. Fairly quick service considering how busy they were. I recommend stopping by if there is a free space open.

I loved the aromas and vibes of the shop. They have an assortment of items for sale including coffee beans, shirts, mugs, and chocolate covered espresso beans amongst many other things! I got the spicy nut latte off the seasonal menu. I got an iced medium along with the dark chocolate covered espresso beans and both were delicious!! The prices here are insanely reasonable. I paid just a little over $9 for both items. I couldn't believe it! I wish this was a place where I can just sit and take in the smells as I enjoy my coffee, but there is no seating as this is more of an actual store that also serves coffee. However, that won't stop me from being a regular visitor!

Depending if you come during the morning rush it may be a bit noisier but there are plenty of tables to sit at. Roast has the best chai in Aksarben, quality and price! They do up-charge for milk substitutes but the already great prices don't even make me flinch at the increase for oat milk. Well worth it! Their coffees are great and their espresso is a darker roast and nuttier but occasionally when I need more of a boost, I get a dirty chai and it's been my new morning addiction!

The decor is minimal but I loved the different gold mirrors. When I ordered the cashier at the counter was all smiles and just a delight to talk to, she was super friendly. She was very helpful since it was the first time being there she explained everything so it was easy to make a good decision. I ordered a flight so I was able to sample for different signature flavors. My favorite was the Midnight Coconut and Crème Brûlée. I would recommend this coffee shop to anyone who is looking for a good coffee shop!

And for the shopper, they have lots of small decor, gifts, and actual coffee beans for sale. But the star of the show is the coffee drinks themselves! I had the pumpkin spice latte (it was Autumn, so I am allowed!), and it was creamy, had a good spice to it, and smooth. I would definitely get that again. But I look forward to trying more flavors soon! Village Grinder is a cute little cafe to stop by while you're in Countryside Village. Always nice to grab a coffee or treat while you shop - and it's great that you can even shop inside Village Grinder too!

The location on 204th Street in Gretna is clean, open, inviting ... but noisy. It's one of those warehouse-type settings where you really have to work at having a private conversation. Seating is expecially comfortable in the big chairs, but then you have to schootch them close together and lean in so you can hear each other, which is unfortunate. Granted, tables are set far apart, but this should be in addition to. Coffee was delicious, but the beignet bites were just so-so. Granted, one should not expect New Orleans beignets outside of New Orleans, but these little donut puffs had only a light dusting of powdered sugar (which I actually was thankful for because I wore black pants!), and there was a not-overly-pleasant surprise inside with an indistinguishable creamy substance that was sort of like the inside of a brown sugar cinnamon poptart, only less so. I hadn't been expecting that. The yogurt parfait was substantial and delicious. (The staff was friendly and helpful when making selections, but it didn't occur to me to ask about fillings.) I might visit again, but maybe at one of the other locations, if acoustics were more promising.
