The coffee is so good! The staff isnt always the friendliest, but also people are human and they dont owe me anything but making some bombass coffee. Seriously, I go out of my way for it. Breakfast sandwiches are amazing too. Not ...

Im a tourist from SC. I ate at Grendels every morning during my trip. The food is GREAT, and so are the lattes. I particularly liked the egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches. ...

I respect this place. It was their 20th anniversary I believe a year or two ago, and to celebrate, they reverted to the prices they had back when they first opened for the day. Who does that in this world?? Very wholesome and appreciated. ...

My partner and I got the Mayan mocha and golden milk latte both were delicious with great milk froth, texture and balance. The Mayan mocha has some great heat to it the golden milk latte is more subtle in flavor. It is also a nice atmosphere with good service.

Great mochas breakfast bagels. Friendly, professional staff. I highly recommend Grendels if you find yourself on east Burnside hungry for breakfast or thirsty for coffee.

A very cozy coffee place right close to a few hotelsmotels on Burnside. The coffee simple brew that I always get was tasty. The best part was the toasted bagel, they really put some attention and effort in making that the best toasted bagel with cream cheese that Ive had in a while. Thank you!
