The Grazing Tray

The owner’s unprofessional behavior towards honest reviews leaves a very sour taste in my mouth. How embarrassing to bash your customers making a suggestion rather than embracing their criticism and just moving forward with your own business decisions as you see fit. Every review that slightly hints any negative activity has Samantha riding in on her high horse to make every excuse and/or justification. She expects everyone knows what’s going on behind the scenes, or follows them on social media. Running a business is hard; I get it, but running a business into the ground is easy. Your behavior is a direct reflection of the business.

Now to my review: I have ate here a few times, and I definitely give the food a 4/5. It’s pretty great, but I’m not blown away. I’m basing my review off the food only, because the coffee (which had always been great) was a satellite location at the time. I would like to see different side options for meals rather than a bag of ruffles chips and a pickle; like pasta salad/potato salad, a side salad, sweet potato fries, Parmesan fries, even if it’s a $1-2 up-charge to choose. Half the time I don’t even eat the chips and it feels like a waste.

Best of luck in your future home. I’m happy to see actual businesses come to the downtown area. I’ll gladly omit my initial criticism if I legitimately see that behavior change.

What a great place to chill! I experienced The Grazing Place for the first time today. I say experienced because that’s truly what it was. We stopped to grab a coffee and kill a little time. The food was really good and the staff was friendly and attentive. The furniture is set up in such a way that it lends itself to just about anything you’re looking for. I saw people with laptops working, I saw children enjoying themselves, friends chatting and people who enjoyed some peaceful alone time. I would definitely recommend this little gem to anyone looking for a special experience, whatever you’re looking for I am sure they’ll fit the bill!

The food was delicious, they appeared to be under staffed. The young lady taking orders seemed unhappy to be there. No greetings, No thank you. It was black friday, so it should have been festive, with music playing, but it was cold, vacant and no music. Based on what I have heard this is not the norm...and I cannot wait to come back again. I hear you are amazing so I will be back.

I LOVE this place but my biggest complaint is that they aren’t open on the weekends. Losing tons of potential profits from electing to close on the few days a week more people can spend time going to a coffee place instead of working

Been here a few times and love trying the different things absolutely love this place

The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly enough. When we arrived there were two girls working the front and at least 2 people in the back (kitchen area) so they weren’t understaffed. We ordered a couple sandwiches and went to find a place to sit. People kept coming and going, getting their orders (sure, some of those orders could have been called in) but after 20 or 30 minutes I went to the front and asked the girl about our food. She went to the back to check and came back to let me know that they were starting on it right then. It took another 10 minutes or so to get our food. They apologized for being short staffed but from everything I could tell, they weren’t short staffed at all. It doesn’t take 40 minutes to make some sandwiches. I feel like someone dropped the ball and forgot about our orders. I would have respected it more if they told us that instead of saying that they were short staffed, which seemed to me to be untrue.
The food was really good. But not worth the wait.

Stopped in to meet a friend and got a mini tray and an iced coffee, great staff and atmosphere 💕 can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu !

The grazing tray is full of love and light. I’ve worked with Sam before her and Katie opened up their local shop and she has always been the sweetest most genuine person and her and Katie both just pour (literally) so much love into the community as well as their shop. The food is amazing, coffee is amazing. Highly recommend to everyone!

Fantastic spot for coffee, breakfast or lunch. Get the panini, and the Mandarin orange passion fruit smoothie. And the fancy fries, don't share with anyone. Coffee flights are awesome, but the charcuterie is the secret of this joint. Highly recommended for private catering, client gifts, something special for holidays, or just a mini snack box to eat by yourself in the car before you go home 🤣

I'm not big on fancy coffee places but this is a nice place. Good coffee and tea. Friendly staff. Will be back.
