Squeeze & Grind — Restaurant in Camas

What a gem I have missed out on until now! At first I thought Squeeze & Grind was more pickup, not sit in. Better late than never! Decided to try this adorable location in Downtown Camas with my husband and I have been back 3 times since with more scheduled meetings here!! Why? I love local businesses and am happy to support them, especially when the atmosphere is one of good vibes, positivity and is welcoming. I have encountered different employees each time I have visited and excellent customer service has been the norm. Every person there is courteous, has suggested items to try, they are definitely serving up an attitude of appreciation for customer visits and overall genuine pleasantry. It is small inside with a little stand up bar (or stools), a couple tables and 3 tables outside. Such a nice place, my business partner and I have made this our go-to meeting spot. The coffee is tasty and not bitter nor overloaded with sugar. The pastries are fresh and well made. There are coffee specials offered too: Check out the variety of smoothies from the photo of the menu. Pricing is more reasonable too! And here is a bonus: there is a drive up window as well as a walk up window…sweet deal! I LOVE the vibe of a neighborhood coffee shop, and given I do work at cafes, I’m not distracted by super loud music where I can’t take a call, have a work conversation or focus on what I’m doing. An all-over good spot, a place you should mark on your list to frequent. I’m...

I will go out of my way to a local coffee shop as opposed to visiting the green mermaid coffee place. I visited Sunday morning around 9:15a. Drive through was jammed packed, inside were many people as well - always a good sight if the locals go there. I like my coffee as “coffee” - no fancy, half-caf, skinny, soy or flavoring. So I usually get pour overs or an Americano. Unfortunately they don’t offer pour overs so my “only” choice was an Americano. I do t like already brewed unless I can see them brew it because if I wanted a coffee from earlier in the day I’d pay $1 and go to a gas station. (Cofffee snob? Maybe). Anyway. The espresso used for the Americano wouldn’t have been my first choice if I had a option but it was good. The baristas were very friendly and service was quick, even though I always seem to find myself as the tail for any line. I’d visit here again and will when I pass through...

Disappointed with the level of service. I go here almost every weekend for a coffee, service has always been fine. But I pulled up on a weekday evening behind another car at the window, sat for a couple minutes and then pulled forward. When I got to the window she said she was sorry but they were closed at six. I looked at my phone and it was exactly 6:00. I get wanting to get off work, but I work in service also and when you choose at exactly closing time whether a customer gets served or you close the window and send them away disappointed, your choice says a lot about...
