I like coffee, tea, ice cream (Atlanta mad of course!) and smoothies and The Grind is the best, Espresso over Ice Cream.
I love music, art, film & culture!
Music
I love everything! MUSIC IS AMAZING how could you not appreciate it all! We get so much music from local artists and hear so many great bands. Thanks for coming and sharing your passion with us. We'll keep playing your music.
Movies
Film Addict! Film Junkies on Staff. I especially love Indie Films; no big $$$ = great stories & great acting. Were going to have a screening night for local shorts soon. Stay on the look out. Also, you can catch us on cable TV on the soap opera A-Town East. We were used as a location for a scene.
About me: There was a time when coffeehouses served as the community gathering place. There you would find great debaters discussing policies, politics, community issues, etc. You would also find artist sharing, creating and expressing various art forms that would inspire people and generations. It was a community refuge and community meeting place. It was your home away from home. Here at Urban Grind we strive to be just that. To not only provide quality products, but to maintain a warm and inviting atmosphere and provide great customer service.
We are located at 962 Marietta Street (in the bottom of the MStreet Apt.), 1.5 blocks north of Nortside Dr., 2 blocks directly west of GA Tech), 404-724-0605. Also, www.urbangrindatl.com.
We serve Great Coffee, Amazing Organic Loose Leaf Tea, Smoothies, Pastries, Panini's and if you love Ice Cream, your going to love this - We serve Atlanta's Own Premier Ice Cream, mmmmm.
Another thing our customers love - our FREE Wi-Fi and comfy chairs to hang out in.
We open early, 7am during the week and 8:30am on Sat. & Sun. so come START YOUR MORNING WITH US! Great coffee and a breakfast sandwich mmm.
Who I'd like to meet: Local Artists that are looking for a great place to showcase their art. We have great wall space. I can't wait to hear from poets, authors who want to have book signings or sale their books in our shop, knitting groups who are looking for a place to meet up, filmmakers interested in indie filmmaking, gammers who want to participate in our game nights, discussion groups who want to use our living room to share and unite, workgroups who need a space to colaborate. We are your neighborhood gathering place.
