Grapes & Grinds - Coffee shop in Keystone - 609 US-16A, USA

Loved it! The coffee was good. The food was good. The gelato was delicious. The atmosphere was amazing. They had beautiful flower pots with bright red geraniums all around the outside. The outdoor space was really beautiful and had Cornhole, a cool outdoor foosball table, giant chess boards, awesome outdoor seating, and a playground. The kids had a ball and I got some quiet time to drink my coffee. The inside was beautifully decorated and had some really cool coffee mugs for sale. Loved it!

Best cream cheese I’ve ever had on a bagel!! And the bagel was as perfectly toasted as Anakin Skywalker when Obi-Wan said “It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground” and Anakin replied, “You underestimate my power!” and Obi-Wan exclaimed, “ YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! To bring balance to the Force; not leave it in darkness!” and Anakin yelled “I hate you!” and Obi-Wan, heartbroken, replied, “ You were my brother, Anakin…I loved you.” before Anakin was toasted into flames. Yum! The gelato looked heavenly but unfortunately I was too stuffed from my perfectly amazingly toasted blueberry bagel to try any. Also, the blueberry bagel had entire chunks of blueberry in it! Scrumptious!

Stopped in for a bagel on the way through town in June, 2023. The Grapes & Grinds is what it sounds like. A nice little coffee shop and wine bar. The outside is really nice with Adirondack chairs and other nice places to relax and have coffee or a glass of wine. Just a nice place. Inside is no different. Very well done. And of course, a gift shop that every place seems to have in towns like this. I ordered a bagel, which cost approximately $5. I found the price of the bagel to seem higher compared to most places with the same offing. But other items such as coffee or such didn't seem drastically higher than other places. I paid with a credit card, so of course it wants you to tip them. I don't care for pre tipping. I especially don't care for pre tipping when there is no actual service rendered. But I worry that some people may retaliate if they see you don't tip. As such, I feel extorted a pay a tip. I'm not saying anyone there would do such a thing, but the possibility is there. In this case my instincts were right about tipping before an actual service. When I got where I was going with my bagel, I found they only cut the bagel in half. They put the spread inside and you have to put the spread on yourself. Good thing I didn't want to eat the bagel while on the road to make time. I would have to pull over to make my own bagel that I just paid G&G to make for me. So where is the service. I guess you now have to tip for just handing you a bagel. You basically have to make the bagel yourself. Speaking of this $5 bagel, it was by no means a bagel in my definition. It was nothing more than your basic roll. Nothing about it looked, had the distinguishing characteristics of a bagel, or even tasted like a bagel. No I bought a $5 roll with spread I had to put on myself. So don't waste your time with these bagels, unless you never actually had a bagel. Now I don't want to totally down play the rest of the offerings at Grapes & Grinds. They may be excellent, I don't know. I'm only expressing my opinion on the service and product I paid for, yet feel I did not receive. Unfortunately I can't give them a second try since I was only in the area briefly. So I am still giving them a total of four stars because they may be very good everywhere else. And the decor and environment of G&G is very nice. So do give them a try and form your own opinion.

Before you continue you should know the previous two mornings we had horrific hotel coffee so this review might seem biased because that’s what I’m immediately comparing it to. The hot chocolate was excellent. Nothing negative to say about it. The hot white mocha coffee was excellent. You get an immediate hit of sweet white mocha and the coffee is strong enough to power through for the finish. If I were to compare it to Starbucks, I’d have to say it was slightly superior. Given the option, I’d choose this cup over theirs. The iced caramel Frappuccino was also very good. It wasn’t quite sweet enough but a quick ask to the staff and they happily gave it a few more pumps of caramel and couldn’t have been kinder. They were all smiles. All in all this was a nice spot with good coffee mixes. There’s a slight chance I’d look for maybe something better but if I’m back in this neck of the woods again I’d be more than happy to return. They also had some fun little games out front which is a plus!

For wine and coffee lovers, this is a oasis in the middle of the forest!!!! Awesome place to chat with your significant other, connect to your work and/or simply enjoy the day!

What an AWESOME place. Great food, coffee, and atmosphere. Kid friendly with lots of space for them to play outside. Patio area was wonderful with good music and outstanding design and taste. Very friendly staff. I'd add this place should be the paragon for modern coffee shops.

Loved everything about this shop. They had decaf espresso which is so rare unless you go to Starbucks. I was so happy to support them. The shop is so cute on the inside and the outside atmosphere is awesome. I was able to drink my iced latte and eat a bagel while my 2 year old played on the swing. Will definitely be back.

The absolute best coffee shop in the area that we have been to. The iced caramel macchiato and the iced Carmel latte were AMAZING!!!!!!! The smoothies were delicious as well as the muffins. There was adorable merchandise in the stores. The absolute best part was the outdoor seating area and playground. We are sad we found this at the end of the week because we probably would have gone every day of our vacation. It’s a must do!
