The Legendary Grind — Restaurant in Middlebury

I will start this review with that I came here with a group. This review is based on my personal preferences, and does not reflect the quality of this establishment. This is a small cafe that specalizes in coffees and serves lunch and breakfast items, mostly a assortment of paninis, sandwiches, soups and salads. On the weekends they only do a breakfast menu. I am not huge breakfast fan, coffee or hot chocolate drinker. The breakfast panini I had was pretty good and other people in my party had ordered it. It was just not my thing. They do not have other alternative beverages for breakfast like orange juice. This cafe was very warm, which was nice. Most of the cafes and restraurants in the area are too cold for my liking in the winter. This place also did not smell overly strong of coffee like make coffee cafes. Restroom was really small, and it's an older building. I didn't happen to see a handicap...

I ordered a 32 oz White Choco iced latte. When i got it, it was burnt. Like super burnt. Idk how the even did that. So I ordered a smaller one, because they said they use a stronger type of bean, and that maybe I wasn't accustomed to the type,and that I should get less espresso in the drink next time. I'm like okaaayy, but I order this drink so often, almost every coffee shop we go. But, they seemed ligit, and they were super nice about it. So I bought the second coffee, hoping for something better. Burnt. Not just any burnt, but nasty gag like omg burnt burnt. After that me and my ma bought a couple teas and scones, and vowed to never come for anything but scones ever again. Love the workers, but if you value your health, don't...

My husband and I were camping in the area over the Memorial Holiday … and guess who forgot to pack the coffee!!! (Bad wife! 😳). So I googled local coffee shops and this beautiful little gem popped up! To our surprise, they also serve gluten-free muffins and pastries! We drink regular coffee and combined with the gluten-free muffins, which are very good, we turned a tragic morning into an enjoyable morning before heading out for the day!

If I lived in the area, this would most definitely be my go to spot for coffee! The staff were very nice and the atmosphere relaxing!

I highly recommend visiting The Legendary Grind! I know, we will be back when...
