Glenview Grind
1837 Glenview Rd, Wilmette, IL
Crema's Take
“Tucked near Glenview station, this cozy neighborhood gem pulls excellent drip coffee from Tugboat beans and pairs it with genuinely chill vibes—think good music, a warm owner who learns your name, and seating that spans from quick-grab counter service to a comfortable outdoor area perfect for lingering with friends or your dog. Beyond the coffee, their lunch menu shines with standout items like avocado toast featuring an unusually delicious nut-free pesto, and they've clearly thought about the little touches, from pup cups at the drive-through to locally-made jams and honey alongside their beans.”

I often pick up and drop off friends and family at glenview station, and always stop in here for a coffee. Their drip is delicious, Tugboat provided them excellent beans, and their service is always friendly and a great way to start the day! Parking usually isn’t too tough on Glenview street.
absolutely the best tasting coffee in Glenview. I love their outdoor area. And their lunch menu is excellent. I love bringing my dog through the drive-through and getting a pup cup. Our dog sticks, his head through the window and is so happy. 😄
My friend and I came in to work on some things, and we felt comfortable. We were thankful that we were able to snag a seat (although it wasn't too comfortable - no seat padding). I ordered a decaf black coffee and it was mediocre - not too great nor too bad. My friend ordered a hazelnut latte and she also had the same opinion as me...she thought charging 90 cents for a pump of hazelnut was a bit excessive since it didn't give much flavor to the drink. It's nice that there is a drive-thru, but it does take a while to place an order (if you come first thing in the morning - I'm not sure about later in the day).
Very very cute shop. Very chill atmosphere. Good music. Suuuper friendly staff!! We got the avocado toast that is made with maybe the BEST nut-free pesto I have ever had. Toast was crispy and everything tasted very fresh. Also got a warmed cheese Danish and chocolate chip muffin. Both were so satisfying and not intensely sweet. We also got 2 of the specialty drinks, 24 oz blended, thrilla vanilla latte and caramel fantasia. Both drinks were absolutely refreshing and phenomenal. Local. Independent and family owned. They are definitely doing something (well a lot of things lol) right!! Check them out!!!
This coffee shop has a very warm and friendly vibe. The cashier/ owner was so friendly. She asked customers' names and then call them by their name afterwards. The are selling jam, honey, coffee beans, tea and t-shirts. The coffee was good but not great and the scone was fresh and tasty. There was a printer to use, parking seems not an issue which makes this place a great spot to work and study. Overall: RECOMMENDED!
