Gravel & Grind
15 E 6th St, Frederick, CO
Crema's Take
“Gravel & Grind's orange cardamom cappuccino is the kind of signature drink that justifies a detour, crafted with the precision and creativity that earned it near-universal praise from regulars who've traveled the world. This downtown Frederick shop doubles as a working bike shop, creating an unexpectedly welcoming atmosphere where cyclists, laptop workers, and families linger for hours in comfy seating—expect a line, but the artistry in every cup (whether a pour-over or espresso drink) makes the wait genuinely worth it. Fair warning: they skip the sugar, so this is for folks who appreciate coffee on its own terms.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Gravel & Grind is a great local spot in Frederick! The coffee is good, and there’s busyness in the shop that makes it feel welcoming. Even when it’s busy, it’s a good place to settle in and chill. The food is good also. I enjoy the avocado toast and the waffles; I tend to get…
Super cute coffee & bike shop in a downtown Frederick repurposed building. Clearly a popular meet spot with folks young and old gathering in comfy chairs, bar seating and outdoor umbrella covered tables. The cortado was good and strong. No pic of the Brussel sprout toast as I…
This has to be the best, most consistent, most unique cappuccino place in Maryland. I’ve lived around the world and the orange cardamom cappuccino from Gravel & Grind is fantastic. The flavor of the coffee is great and the taste is consistent across baristas. They all know what…
