The Grind @ Norwood — Restaurant in Adelaide

We were two mates catching up over coffee... When we stepped into The Grind, we were met with, "What can I get you two gentlemen?" - a good start. And it only got better: "Inside or outside?" We chose to sit inside at the bench. As we had just walked through the back streets of Norwood in the heat of the day, we decided it would be nicer inside under a cool draft.

Left the shop with a smile on my face from the great service and an amazing coffee...

A nice, solid and reliable coffee here at The Grind today. Service here is 5 stars with the friendly and accommodating gentleman barista. I was recommended to try this place from a work colleague and I'd be happy to return. The Cafe is a small little nook / frontage near the Portrush Road end of The Parade. There are 4 or 5 bar stools inside for a quick stop and three shaded tables on the footpath. Plenty of beans available for purchase also. Feels like it would be a local or daily favourite for some, especially on seeing the barista interacting with several other business owners as they...
