"Hands down one of the best coffee spots around. The coffee itself is outstanding, but what really sets it apart is the staff. The shop has a cozy, welcoming vibe, with plenty of space to hang out, catch up with friends, or get some work done. They also have a great selection of coffee beans on the wall, so there’s something for every taste."

"Slave to the Grind is a lovely place to go if you're doing anything except drinking coffee. The staff is friendly, trendy, and genuinely hard-working. The atmosphere is cozy in that cramped Bronxville way - full of Sarah Lawrence students, commuters grabbing something before the train, and bulletin boards overflowing with local notices. As a hangout, it's iconic. But the actual coffee? It's rough. The beans in the tubes look like they've been sitting there for weeks-shiny, stale, and roasted well past the point where any nuance could survive. There’s a wide selection, sure, but it’s a wide selection of indistinguishable, overroasted blends with no roast dates, no origins, and no freshness indicators. Single-origin fans won’t find anything here, and even casual drinkers will notice the muddy, burnt flavor. A lot of other reviews mention the same thing: the drinks are inconsistent. Sometimes the coffee comes out lukewarm, sometimes scalding, sometimes bitter, sometimes weak. The espresso is especially disappointing—flat and sharp at the same time, like it’s both under-extracted and stale. And for the price? It’s hard to justify. You’re paying “beloved local café” rates for coffee that tastes like it was roasted during the Obama administration. As a place to meet a friend, go on a date, or grab a pastry, Slave to the Grind has charm. But as a coffee destination, it’s overrated. There are better cups in town, and far better cups within a few miles. Sit inside, enjoy the vibe, read the bulletin board—but skip the coffee. It just isn’t worth it. Go to Coffee Unique or the train station place if the stars have aligned and it decided to be open for a change. Both are right across the street and both will do you much better."

"Hands down one of the best coffees in the town. We were going to have a long day at work so decided to grab two and loved it. There is a place to sit and do some work as well but it does get busy. I have to admit that the staff was really quick and with few mins the line disappeared and we had the cafe to ourselves. Orange cranberry scone was delicious as well."

"This place is really cool! They have a lot of variety of coffee beans which they can grind for you. Interesting flavors like red velvet. They have a large variety of iced coffee flavors as well! Their oat milk latte tasted fantastic! Staff is friendly and there’s plenty of seating inside and outside. I liked how the staff had lots of regulars come by. It just shows how great this place is. I found the music to be really great here too. They also have apparel. Thank you for your hospitality Slave to the Grind."

"This is a nice spot. The staff is friendly. There is a great selection of coffee. Prices are fair in my opinion. I am very particular about cappuccinos. I have been craving one ever since I left work as a barista. But this place looked like they could make a good one. So I ordered a medium, vanilla cappuccino and I was not disappointed. It was really, really good. If you like bone dry capps, you will need to specify. Mine was not as light as I would have made it, but it was delicious. My boyfriend ordered a toasted almond cream, drip coffee. He did not care for that one. However, there are so many options here, I will gladly come back to try their other offerings."
