Crema's Take
“The Oly Grind's real strength is balanced, well-made drinks—regulars consistently praise how their baristas dial back the sugar where most local shops oversweeten—but the shop has a serious reliability problem that keeps it from being a solid go-to. Multiple reviews report showing up during posted hours only to find them closed anyway, which for a coffee run defeats the whole point. If you live nearby and catch them open, you'll get decent coffee; if you're planning a visit, you're taking a real gamble.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

I have been a frequent visitor to Oly Grind, but my experience has been increasingly disappointing. Approximately 50% of the time I go to get coffee, they are closed. This happens even during their posted business hours. I've started checking their hours before heading over, yet…
