When in Glenview, this is my go-to cafe. The smoothies ..yum! The coffee...double yum! The avocado bread...triple yum! And if you're under the weather, the healing latte is exactly what you need!

Great location! as a heads up, I never give a coffee shop a 5/5 unless they have a pour over (and are great). Glenview grind is great but they don't have a pour over.

They do use nice beans and have nice food options. It's in a nice location with things to do near by. They have nice lattes and the drip coffee is nice too!

The Avocado toast is amazing as well!
Parking was easy on the street, seating on the inside was nice. TVs setup and all.

Great vibes, great people, great choices in food and coffee. Went there a few times and was pleasantly greeted every time upon arrival, immediately making my day better before even receiving my order that always turns out awesome.

Charming place in the middle of downtown to get coffee and breakfast items. Glenview Grind is more than just coffee and eating though. It's where to go if you're looking to catch up. Find old friends here or meet someone you haven't already. The place is kind of crowded, especially in the morning and weekends, which should be obvious.

A convenient location is one of the best things about it. It's close to the Metra Station. The coffee is the main thing. Even so, there's lots more. There's breakfast and lunch sandwiches. It's about $4 for a small coffee. The Matcha Green Tea Latte is a favorite. Choose from a few milk types including non dairy choices. Oatmeal is one of the breakfast options. It's about $3.75 for a bowl. This comes with choice of milk and toppings.

Best place to get breakfast in Glenview. It gets busy of course but it also has a relaxing charm about it. The breakfast time is busiest but there's also sandwiches for lunch and whenever.

I've traveled the world & all the States in the US. This was more like a cafe than a coffee shop. My wife & I ordered two cold brew coffee's and we asked a few questions to the cashier. She did not know the answer. Then they never asked our names & didn't have a drink sticker identifying our drinks. After a long wait & many customers confused around us our drinks came out incorrectly. I asked the Barista and she looked at me like I was from a different planet. The place had no clue about customer service. We finally received our drinks and after one sip we tossed them in the garbage. They were the worst tasting cold brews we have ever had. The shop was cluttered and didn't have a good vibe.

Loved my drink AND my sammy. I had full intentions of returning and trying MORE things from both the beverage menu and food selections - but Covid...
However, what I did like was my drink had the perfect mix of function (coffee) and decadence (chocolate) and topping. The food was fresh, flavorful, yummy. If I'm back that way I'd stop in again. And if you're out there, swing by & give them a try. And try as many things as possible (in my honor)!

Glenview Grind is a great coffee spot. They have many drink and food options to choose from including smoothies, coffee, and sandwiches. Moreover, they have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating as well. They also have a drive thru option which is very convenient. The inside is very clean and is a nice place to go and do some work. The staff is also very friendly and prompt when making the orders.

I've followed Glenview Grind on Instagram for several years but today was my first visit. I wasn't far from here and had a novel with me I wanted to finish reading so I carpe-ed the coffee.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy parking was. So many other suburbs have created three-ring circuses out of street parking, but Glenview Grind has a lot adjacent to the building. There's enough space that the Glenview Fire Department easily parked a truck there without blocking anyone else in while a few of their crew popped in for drinks.

The customer in front of me took his time ordering, which was great for me so I could peruse the menu boards. While I'm generally faithful to my vanilla oat milk lattes, especially when evaluating a new-to-me coffee shop, the Frango Mint caught my eye so I ran with that. The pastries in the case looked really good but I refrained this time. They serve food as well - the customer in front of me had a conversation about the chicken salad - and a selection of bottled/canned beverages including hard seltzer and local beers (I saw that Sketchbook label...).

I was bummed by the lack of cozy seating. There's a small area of leather chairs but those were taken so I nabbed a seat at a table. It wasn't terribly uncomfortable, but I would have loved to stumble upon a coffee shop with comfy seats for reading or visiting with friends. It appears my generation left those in the 90s (or we were severely misled by Central Perk)... The interior felt like cluttercore in the best way with strings of Christmas lights hanging across the ceiling (that may be seasonal?) and a variety of t-shirts, mugs, and other merch available for sale.

My drink was good - a nice balance of mint and chocolate. The espresso didn't pop through the I would have hoped, but I did choose to order a dessert-like drink so that's on me. Like other reviewers, I wish my drink was served in a ceramic, reusable mug.

I'm sure I'll be back. I'd like to try some of the pastries or food, and overall, it was a good experience. And I finished my book, so it met expectations for being able to churn through the last 85 pages of a best seller while caffeinating.

I love this place so much! They serve breakfast items and pastries here but I really come here for the coffee. I especially love enjoying the iced Frango mint latte on their patio. Great place to get some work done and enjoy some fresh air--with wonderful coffee!

Great coffee, great food. Love supporting independently run coffee shops and family business. This spot excels at feeling like an independent business as well as a being professional in their appearance, service, and attitudes.
