The Grind Coffee House - South

Great place to get a beverage and relax.

Decent coffee, nice people — however, they spend a lot of time talking to one another while customers are standing in line.

The shop appeared to be slow and there was no one using the drive thru, so we drove up and ordered two large "lightest roast brewed coffee" available. Were told that was "the vanilla nut" at which point we said that we only wanted unflavored brewed coffee. Were then told that it was "unflavored, only the aroma was vanilla" and we said we'd try it. Paid for $5.60 coffee with a $20 and told the server to keep a dollar and the coins as a tip. She gave us $10 back, which we thought wasn't a big deal because they had been helpful and really fast and sometimes it's hard to understand what people are saying through a mask. It was the nastiest dark roast vanilla hazelnut coffee I've ever tasted. We paid $10 for two coffees that we dumped. The only reason this isn't one star is that the service was fast, if not accurate.

I love the variety of seating, makes this place good to meet up with friends, read a book, or study for school. It does tend to fill up around finals week a lot, but their drop coffee is good and so are their espresso drinks! They also have their own app for reward points you can cash in for free drinks, bag of beans, etc.

My go to for coffee! I have tried several different roasts and they are all amazing! I even buy their beans to brew at home! I always have 2-3 bags in my freezer at all times. Plus, the baristas have wonderful customer service and very knowledgeable of all products.

Employees need to learn some basic customer service skills.

Their prices are a bit higher than my go to coffee shop in town, but their drinks and customer service are great.

This place is the most unique coffee shops in columbia. It's unique because it caters to almost every type of environment you could be looking for, whether it's socializing or studying. Its spacious, comfortable, and has high quality coffee. The owner does a great job creating an inviting family environment inside and is always around to answer questions. Amazing Place!

Really mellow place. I totally liked the vibe and the staff. The coffee was perfectly made and really good for the price. But I do NOT recommend their bagle sandwich. It's just egg and cheese, no condiments or meat to help the dryness. Still a great place though 10/10 would recommend.

I love this place! Truly the best coffee shop in town. Willing to make whatever weird things my dad seems to come up with all the time. I generally make up special order things myself and they are always amazing, the baristas definitely know what they are doing and manage to consistently make the best coffee we have ever had.
