Like Starbucks only better. It's the opposite of a corporate coffee place. It's an odd shaped place, long and skinny. There's a little seating downstairs and a very nice, comfy, seating area upstairs. There's a little "lending library" upstairs - I don't think it's only for decoration. There's a bathroom upstairs. So you don't have to go downstairs if the coffee fills your bladder. (I'm not sure taking the lending books to the bathroom would be acceptable.) As a dude, I hate to say things like "it's a really cute place!". But it is. The barista's were very nice. And the frou-frou coffee I got (The Southern Comfort if I recall) was very good. Definitely a go-to, and return-to place.
It makes me sad to say this, but I have to drop a star from my review. The Grind relocated. They're no longer in the quirky building with the comfy upstairs. They're in a fancy new construction WITH A DRIVE THROUGH! Great, now folks can grab their coffee without physical effort or much interaction with other folks. Promoting obesity and loneliness one customer (or carload of customers) at a time. It used to feel like a Starbucks alternative. Now it feels like a Starbucks imitation. And frankly, I think the staff went down too. At the old location, I would have told you I thought the staff were awesome. On my last two visits - at the new location - I found the staff to be uninterested, even approaching surly. I don't know if the staff changed with the location. Maybe it's because I went on a Saturday when most previous visits were on weekdays in the late afternoon. Anyway, it makes me sad that I'm no longer enjoying The...
Read moreThis was the best experience I've ever had in a coffee shop! And that's saying a lot because being from central Mississippi where Cups is my go to place for the best employees and coffee! SoCo Grind blew my socks off. The braistas are the most friendly and helpful people. They were beyond kind to my 3 year old son. Included him in ordering what he wanted and entertaining his gibberish talk that most people ignore because they can't understand him. That meant the most to me. The coffee was amazing. It was not bitter or overly sweet. I'm sure if I wanted sweet they could handle that too! The prices were unbelievable. I spent the same on a medium coffee, muffin, and a water that I would on one small drink back home! I highly recommend 👌! Please stop by for the best of the best of Mississippi hospitality if your visiting from out of town. I will be back and will recommend to all my husband's coworkers that come into town. Thank you SoCo Grind for amazing coffee and a...
Read moreI grew up in Corinth and was there for the holidays and I was trying to find a coffee house that served hot drinks that I am use to getting. I was not disappointed!!! First, the staff, meet you when you came in and even held a conversation with you. How nice! The prices, very reasonable. The drink, Bianca Mocha, was delicious. I went 2 days in a row and would have went a 3rd but they are closed on Sundays. It was a nice experience for a small town that made a person who has been removed from there feel like they have come back home. Thanks....
