Nice little coffee shop tucked away. Plenty of parking in the street out front. Food was good and coffee was great. They use Ona coffee (one of my favourites). Staff were friendly and service was fast. Seating available inside and out. Tried the pancakes and they were great. Pricing is reasonable.

Really lovely spot down an alley in the centre of Avalon. Blink and you'll miss it, this Cafe offering coffees and a small food menu is a great pitstop with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Food was really lovely and very reasonably priced, though the menu was very small (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Coffee wasn't to my taste, but was well made and had good latte art, so no complaints there. Highchairs were available.

Lovely and quirky little coffee shop tucked away in an alley, just off the main street. Staff was lovey and friendly and the food tasty. Nice coffee too. Cute place for breakfast or a snack.

Really disappointing. I ordered a smoothie through Uber Eats and after drinking some of it, I felt something off and realised there were small plastic shards in the drink. When I poured the rest out to check, there were many more pieces throughout the cup. I drove down to the cafe to let them know and to flag what could have been a serious safety issue. While they did offer to refund the drink, there was little concern shown beyond that, and no real acknowledgement of how serious the situation was or reassurance that it wouldn’t happen again. Mistakes happen, but the lack of care and accountability afterward was concerning. I’d urge others to be cautious.

I’ve been to The Sneaky Grind twice now + enjoy the experience. It’s located in a little alley way type thing which I think adds character. The staff have been out-going + relaxed both times. My experience is that it’s a very casual exchange which I love. Reasonably priced + the coffee is great.
