Grindhouse Cafe — Restaurant in North Township

Very well made sandwiches (if we consider interesting mix of ingredients, that one can not easily find elsewhere in NWI) , coffee too. I'd probably buy a lot more if I had time for and if I could pronounce all those ridiculous sentences they put as coffee names..

Why do they do it is beyond me.. it's not even funny. If I wanted to buy, let's say 4 coffees, it would be a recital to say all of their names., and then if ordering on the phone, they would say as they usually do "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?"!!?? Thanks but no tnx, It takes too much unnecessary explaining.. So I buy only sandwiches here - from time to time , but my coffee elsewhere.. which is sad because their concoctions are really good.

PS. These people skimp on ham and cheese also. That is bad habit for the business because guests find out eventually! For example, when you buy couple or more of the same sandwich, they come pretty empty, it's obvious they split the ingredients of let's say two sandwiches to make three... or some similar example.. So it feels like paying almost $30 for 6 pieces of bread, with little of something in between.. Amazing business...

I rate on a planetwide scale, and don't give out 5 stars lightly. Maybe it's really a 4.5, but for northern Indiana it's about 7 stars. This place is just delightful. Yummy and creative sandwiches, salads, and breakfast things with amusing descriptions. I had the grilled cheese with saurkraut and bourbon-carmelized onions. Small but good selection of pastries. About 20 varieties of loose leaf teas. They do their own chai and miraculously it's not oversweetened. Could use more cardamom, but that's a personal preference. Friendly, cheerful, funny staff. I was there around dinnertime on a cold February Wednesday and of the dozen tables only three were occupied. Plus a couch on which a couple of geeky teenagers were talking and flirting quietly. Several power outlets. Decor that day was a mixture of Valentine's cards (maybe seasonal), plus various bits of local art, and some geek culture figures (The Ticket, Rorschach from The Watchmen). Backs of chairs have random bits of macrame weaved through them. There's a delicate and happy-making mural of birds and a tree in the bathroom. Free wi-fi...

I cannot believe the rudeness I endured while being in this place. First of all, I waited almost 15 minuted for an iced latte to go. Normally, that is not a problem for me. I have worked customer service my whole life and I get it. I was completely ignored. There was no" thank you, have a nice day" or sorry for the wait" I am pretty sure my choice of beverage bothered the youth working there because they were snickering while making my drink. I will never spend a dollar of my hard earned money in there again. Not when there is a coffee shop on every corner that will happy to take my money and tip. Not only was the staff atrocious, it was so dirty in there. Dirty bus tubs of dirty dishes next to where people eat. I hope management understands that word of a bad experience travels much faster than word of a good experience. I have already let all my co workers plus friends and family know not to give their money to this establishment. This must be a common occurrence because a few of people I mentioned this too said they've experienced the same horrible customer service. What a disappointment....
