"Cute spot down the street from a one-time job I was early getting to. Great location with a nice view of a charming town. Excellent coffee, chill atmosphere. If I find myself in this town again, I'll definitely be back."

"I really like Grindhouse! Their sandwiches are yummy, as well as their baked goods. I wish they would bring back the curry tofu sandwich! I know lots of people that really loved that sandwich and were disappointed when they took it off the menu this year. Bring it back!"

"There's one specific gentleman, dark hair and a short beard. He clearly, undoubtedly hates his job. Atmosphere is great. Merch is alright, I purchased one of their yellow Grindhouse mugs and the lettering came off within a week 😒"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yep it’s 5 stars for Grindhouse Coffee in Whiting—this place is the caffeinated cat’s pajamas! I popped in and was promptly seduced by a ham and apple sandwich that was basically a love letter to my taste buds—savory, sweet, and a little sassy, just like I like’m 😅 The caramel coffee? A liquid hug that whispered, “You’ve got this,” with every sip. And don’t get me started on the chocolate chip scone—it was like a warm, crumbly hug from a cocoa-dusted angel. The vibe is cozy (could use more diverse music selection), but the staff is cooler than a cold brew, and the menu is a masterclass in deliciousness. Do yourself a favor and make Grindhouse your new haunt—you’ll thank me when you’re sipping caramel dreams and munching on sandwich perfection!"

"This place is not the best but not the worst either. I mostly came to write my review for two reasons. First, they served me a very undercooked muffin. Second, the service is always subpar at best. So to start with the muffin. At first, I overlooked it because I understand sometimes any banana pastry/dessert can have a particular mouthfeel due to the bananas, but then I took another bite and it was quite literally unbaked batter. This muffin could’ve probably used another 10 minutes in the oven. My other point I wanted to bring up is the service is always questionable. Every time I go there it’s someone new behind the counter, but they all share the same attitude as if they don’t want to be there and they are unapproachable. I’ve had multiple occasions where they reply to me extremely blunt or respond to my questions/ comments as if I don’t know what I’m talking about. It’s a little strange. On another note, the lattes and frappes are always great and the food from the kitchen has been delicious. It’s just these two things really, in my opinion, bring the place down. I don’t want to go into an establishment and consistently feel like I’m impeding on the employees hangout sessions amongst each other. It’s very unwelcoming."
