Crema's Take

Grace Coffee strikes that sweet spot between a serious specialty coffee destination and a genuinely welcoming neighborhood hangout where you can linger over a perfectly crafted latte and a buttery scone without feeling rushed. The full breakfast menu goes beyond typical coffee shop fare—think berry French toast and hearty sandwiches with thoughtful sides—making it worth the splurge, and the peaceful indoor vibe combined with dog-friendly outdoor seating means everyone finds their spot. It's the kind of place on Washington Avenue where locals camp out with their laptops, families gather for a weekend breakfast, and the coffee and pastries are consistently delicious enough to keep people coming back.

I used to like this place, but this is the second time they messed up my order. I usually just pick it up so I don’t notice till I get home. Last time they forgot to add the aoli for the red potatoes that I got so I was charged for the side that I didn’t receive. This time they gave me cheesy hash brown bites when I ordered red potatoes, and no one answered the phone when I called to let them know both times. Their prices are a little too high for them to be making these casual mistakes so I won’t be going back again. For example, a vanilla latte there will cost you six dollars but it’s only 16 ounces when you can go down the street and get a 20 ounce one for less.

This is a great spot for coffee or food, right on Wash. I can sometimes be wary of spending $13 for a breakfast sandwich, but you're going to walk out full, plus their sides are tasty. Fair warning: you're not going to get your food fast, but it's worth it. Their cappuccino is A+. The atmosphere is nice, modern, and ample. There is plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor, whether you're by yourself or with a group. Excellent spot!
