Get High On Coffee And Enjoy Tasty Chisme At Grinders Coffee Bar, 77005

Surprisingly good coffee poop at a quick coffee stop around the corner!

Review

Ran into a local coffee shop in a hurry this week after a networking event called Grinders Coffee Bar. An interesting place that offers quality coffee and a CBD apothecary. 


During my visit, I was entertained by the conversation between the baristas and apothecary employees, discussing quality chisme. 


Which is at least a +3 modifier to any establishment. 


The shop itself is smaller than your typical gas station corner store, but the design was captivating and the separation of the two services were well distinguished yet compatible. The coffee had great quality and the apothecary goods were well displayed. 


Productivity at the shop however, can be challenging. The seats are very limited due to the small space and outlets are not always available. The front half of the shop where the coffee is offered is prone to the Texas heat. But it seems that they were aware of the fact since they have a wall AC unit pointed directly in that direction. Unfortunately though, it was in vain. I still had to relocate from the coffee half of the shop to the apothecary half, where its cooler and had better bar seating with outlets. 


With that said though, the internet was stable and I was still able to hop on a zoom call just outside of the glass wall.


Coffee Poop

Finally, the main topic. The coffee poop was surprisingly good! For a coffee shop that seems to be targeting patrons who are on the go, they have quality coffee poop. They provide private bathrooms with quality ass scrolls for you to write on without worry or discomfort. A round of applause is much deserved. 


I highly recommend a visit for those who are interested in CBD or hemp alternatives to visit and grab a cup of coffee while you browse.

Review Talking about a RARE find! Hidden away in plain sight, located in New Heights Houston, and marketed as a dessert store, Red Dessert Dive was an incredible find for coffee poops. Walking into this book nook of a store, you’re guaranteed to be greeted with a pleasant aroma of fresh baked cupcakes. During my stay there, the smell of cinnamon and cake from their first reveal of the oven door fills the room every hour. The atmosphere of the store gives a cozy, indie feel. As if it’s saying, “We like to make cupcakes and we’d like you to enjoy it here if you can.” Which I certainly did. They have many other baked sweets despite my obvious focus on the cupcakes. Muffins and cookies are certainly worth a try, but the cupcakes, bless the cupcakes. It’s made very simply in terms of the format, cake at the bottom and a nice dollop of piped icing on top, not spread, and the size is what I would argue to be the default size of any reasonable person’s imagination. Let’s just say it does not need to use its size to add a level of quirkiness to it. Even better, at the last hour of the store's operation, the cupcakes are buy one get one! The working conditions are exceptional. Outlets were easy to find, the internet was provided indefinitely, and seating was always available. Because most people come and go as bakery customers would, I don’t see it as a potential problem going forward. Coffee Poop Bathroom-wise, it’s a single private unisex room with a decent lock. Maximum privacy sure, but number two suspects would be easy to identify. Puns and comments aside. Parking might be the only challenge to your visit here. Go visit, eat lots of cupcakes, drink the coffee, and poop there.

Beige all around, and probably has the best pumpkin spice latte. Hindsight, should've tried it.
