Hillside Grind Coffeehouse — Restaurant in North Carolina

Hillside Grind is a comfortable coffeeshop where students often visit to socialize, study, or get their daily dose of coffee. They also offer soda, chai, tea, smoothies, muffins, and granola. The baristas are friendly and their drinks are always very tasty. The coffee shop is a ministry outreach of UKirk, the Presbyterian (PCUSA) student led ministry on campus.

We were kind of rolling through so we only got to take in the scenery for a short period of time. I will definitely be putting this on my list of places to head back to and spend...
