The Holy Grind Coffee House

I have been SO excited to try this coffee house and wanted to LOVE it. Unfortunately, I was sadly disappointed. I let the lady at the counter know right away that this was our first time and was hoping for suggestions, but got nothing. I told the cashier that I normally go with a chai latte but wanted something different, then before I knew it, they had already starting making the chai latte. And then they gave me oat milk when I asked for almond milk, twice. Also, the pastries are from Sam’s Club and I would love to support local businesses that support other small businesses. But the cinnamon roll was legit. 😋
What I did love was the decor. Beautiful, contemporary yet cozy, just cool.
Again, I wanted to love this coffee place SO much, but my husband and I both felt the service was cold and it didn’t give us that warm and cozy feeling that we feel going into local places like Local Patriots. I hope your experience is better. Happy eating! 🌺

Coffee and atmosphere were great! The pastries were good but there was no way to warm them up and they had been sitting in a display case for some time. Not a make or break though, will definitely return!

Never have I been to a more cozy location. Coffee was great, not too expensive and fresh af. The smell of their medium roast smacked me across the face before it hit my lips. Highly recommend coming here to chill and drink some delicious coffee.

Me and my family went to the china grove location on a Monday afternoon. Looking for a nice quiet spot to enjoy some family time together and a good iced latte. We have frequently stopped by here in the past but stopped as the service was never friendly and yesterday we thought after a year we would try it again. Sadly it hasn’t changed. When we got there the man at the register was very kind and so was the young girl making our drinks. But out of no where another woman steps behind the counter (I assume a manger to help with training) and is just beyond rude and belittling to the employee that took our order that was helping the barista make drinks. So much so that it made me very uncomfortable to even watch.She was so rude and disrespectful I couldn’t believe that anyone would let an employee talk like that to anyone especially with a customer standing right there.I was a manger at a coffee shop for over 3 years and never would I have allowed a situation like that to happen. Totally unprofessional. We spent over $20 for this experience and yes the coffee was great but this whole encounter made me feel so uncomfortable and regretted ever coming back to give this place another chance. We didn’t even stay to drink our coffee and left promptly . You can have a cute and relaxing decorated atmosphere for a coffee shop but if your employees aren’t friendly and kind then what’s the point? It doesn’t make it that people will want to stay or even come back if the customer service is terrible. I’m sorry but I can go to Starbucks or French express for a better experience where employees are friendly and kind. Will definitely not be coming back after that experience. Please do better with your customer service.

We recently just found this location and the last couple times the coffee was amazing, but today I was upset on how the drinks came. I ordered two caramel latte one with regular milk and one with almond milk. The lady taking the order was nice but once the order came out. It had no coffee at all. It tasted like straight up milk with caramel drizzle. We spent money on just a cup of milk with caramel drizzle and cinnamon added. Very dissatisfied:

Used to go here faithfully, but ever since they opened their second location, the service has dropped. Cashiers are forgetful, communicate with an attitude, always have something out of stock, one location takes call in orders over the phone but one location doesn’t, I have literally stood in line while watching other employees/owners talking and not prioritizing customer needs. It’s sad to see such a cute little place fall off because of success. However, I will gladly take my hard earned money to French Express up the road.

Two disappointing visits within a couple of weeks. Yesterday I stopped in with my Mom to treat her to a coffee and treat on her birthday. The young lady took our order fairly quickly, but it wasn't apparent immediately that there were at least 4-5 orders ahead of us. After waiting 20 minutes to receive our complete order (2 drinks & 2 scones), I took a bite of what was the worst scone I have ever had in my life. It was dry and stale and should not have been sold to me. My breve was mediocre at best.
Another notable mention is the fact that the Manager or Owner was in the shop meeting with some other gentlemen. It was quite clear that this young lady was overwhelmed and VERY slow and he did not offer to help her fulfill the orders to ensure everyone was served in a reasonable amount of time.
20 minutes is too long to wait for good coffee and food let alone poor-quality ones. There are many other great coffee shops in the area, so I won't be returning here.

Service was friendly and fast. I had an issue with my coffee they fixed it without issue. I felt it was way overpriced $$$. I have never paid that much for two coffees and average tasting pastries. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A Gem of a coffee shop in China Grove, NC. Delicious coffee and custom drinks. Great selection of fresh pastries, muffins and scones that look far better than what you'd get Starbucks. The staff is very friendly and prompt.

If your not getting your coffee to go, you have lots of welcoming spaces to relax or plug in and get some work done.

Only been here once but I Love this place. Atmosphere perfect, coffee the best! When I pass by this part of NC I'll be coming back and so I highly recommend!
