The Coffee Grind — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

My daughter (12yo) and I finally got a chance to visit. Happy we did. Review starting from the outside: plenty of street parking or nearby lots. Love the signage and curb appeal— when you see it you want to go inside. As soon as you walk in there are so many things to look at and take in- we liked the greenery, mirrors and chalkboard decor. I did miss the rush of coffee aroma when I walked in— write that off to only being open a few months (I’m sure that will develop over time). There were 2 baristas behind the counter— both were happy, smiling, engaging, made eye contact, were patient, informative and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. I ordered a shot, my daughter got a cinnamon roll and a strawberry refresher. The espresso was on the money, the cinnamon roll was heavy on the icing ( pool of it on top) but good, refresher was tasty. Grab and go had some nice drink options including kombucha, energy drinks and waters— items were a tad pricey. Overall atmosphere was new, neat and orderly. It felt a little too dark inside. We visited on a very hot day, so I think they turned off all the ceiling lights intentionally to help with the temps. Not a deal breaker- just an observation. The tables did all have crumbs on them and the garbage can was overflowing— but I will give the benefit of the doubt that we may have come in just after a rush. The bathroom was clean, sanitary and presentable. There are plenty of tables and chairs both inside and out front on the sidewalk. We were satisfied and recommend you give this shop a try! We hope The Coffee Grind does well- they have a great location. We...

The Coffee Grind is, without a doubt, my favorite spot—hands down. I drive 20 minutes out of my way every single day just to get their lattes, and it’s always worth it. In an area full of coffee shops, none come close to the quality and consistency that The Coffee Grind delivers. The baristas are absolute pros; they know my order by heart and get it perfect every time, no matter how busy they are. It’s honestly the best coffee experience I’ve had anywhere.

But it’s not just about the coffee. They’ve got some seriously fun viral treats that you won’t find anywhere else. The Dubai Croissant is my absolute favorite, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I once drove all the way to New Jersey just to try it—because it’s THAT good. It’s the perfect blend of indulgent and unique, and the flavor combinations are always spot-on.

What makes this place even more special is how hidden it is—tucked away from the usual coffee chains and noisy spots, it feels like a much-needed gem in a sea of subpar coffee options. There are plenty of places nearby, but none come close in terms of quality, atmosphere, or service. The Coffee Grind is also incredibly community-oriented and supportive, always giving back and making sure you feel like you’re a part of something bigger when you’re there. It’s this blend of incredible coffee, one-of-a-kind treats, and genuine care for the community that makes The Coffee Grind so special.

If you’re looking for that perfect latte or just want to try something fun and new, this is the only place you need. I can’t...

This coffee shop/cafe was absolutely wonderful to experience and bask in. I went to work there and have an escape away from the monotony of working from home, and what a joy it was! The selection of unique international/travel coffees was lovely; I had The Beijing consisting of matcha lavender tea flavor. So good! I also had the Ricotta toast, as I always make myself avocado toast at home, and it was so yummy and again, unique! The decor so hit home as well hence my photos of even the bathroom! Haha. Being here in this space inspired me so much in a multitude ways, prompting me to write which is what I needed to do for my passion project and it helped me uncover a Hobby for the year 2024. To top it off, the staff was great at providing suggestions and even just leaving me be to work, as I was there for about 3+ hrs without a bother. Will totally go back whenever I need an escape or indulgence or inspiration. Thanks for the hospitality...
