Crema's Take

City Grind wins over the morning crowd with a rare combination of espresso excellence and genuine warmth—the owner clearly cares about getting every drink right, whether it's a straightforward Americano or their notably creative specialty offerings. You'll find yourself coming back for the consistently stellar coffee, the rotating selection of fresh pastries and sandwiches, and that sweet spot of being laptop-friendly without feeling like a corporate chain. This is the kind of neighborhood spot where regulars near Columbia Tower have made it their daily ritual, and the prices won't make you wince.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A laptop-friendly spot, quick-grab.

I go to City Grind every day I am working in the office. The owner is a gem. If you work in the area of Columbia Tower, you should consider this coffee shop as your regular place. The drinks are a great value and there are plenty of takeout food options. I leave feeling happy!
