It’s a cute little cozy place around the corner, with huge glass windows around for a nice view. Quickly stopped for a americano with lavender shot, it tastes good. They have lot of flavors in macaroons. The vibe of this place is spot on, highly recommended!!

I have found my go to coffee shop! Words cannot describe how welcoming these guys are. They don't rush you as other coffee shops do. They pay close attention to how you like your coffee/drink as if it were their own. I absolutely love getting my coffee from here because I always leave with a smile on my face. Ps....They're dog friendly!

My favorite place to get coffee! The drinks are all delicious, there is a wide variety of good food to pick from at any time of day and the staff treats you like they have known you their whole lives. We try to go as often as we can for the drinks and the friendly conversations! On top of it all the place looks great!

Went here this morning for the first time to grab an iced coffee (you can tell the quality of a coffee shop based on their iced coffee). It is super nice and bright inside! The coffee and beverages are decently priced for the quality, the iced coffee was sweeten perfectly, and the staff even welcomed my dog to come in while i was ordering! Fantastic spot, my dog and I will become a daily customers!

Coffee wonderful. Pastry painfully delicious. Busy shop with one staff member who handled it like a BOSS! Sat outside after a stressful morning and am feeling refreshed.

The salads are large, and the drinks are delicious! The service is quick, and staff are friendly. I was completely stuck on what to order; the barista was patient and helpful, she gave me an excellent coffee suggestion! I think I'll be eating here often.

After a friend posted about visiting this coffee shop on FB I decided to give it a go. First impressions - staff was super friendly and helpful. Food was diverse enough to offer breakfast and lunch options and the desserts were very very good. Coffee - barista recommended a lavender latte that was excellent (naturally given the season I also tried the PSL which was...one of the best I've had). Great location on Spring St. too with a few seats outside during nicer weather. Inside the decor is cozy but the rest of the shop feels a bit open. More seating down the road would help given it a warmer feel (and I imagine with their food/coffee options and the quality they offer they'll be needing more seating!). But this is a minor point and overall I thought Grinds and Greens was a lovely edition to Newton. I wish them the best and look forward to my next visit.

I have been here a few times now and it is always a pleasant experience! The staff is very friendly and super helpful at recommending drinks for someone like me who never knows what to order. They have a big selection of coffee flavors and a variety of pastries & treats. Highly recommend!
