  One of the few remaining quirky places in Portland. With all the new buildings going up....the essence of portland dwindles, Grendels clientele features punks, skaters, street folks, and tourists....and a local or two.

  Old school coffee shop. Friendly service and good for a quick bite. Iced Mint tea was very refreshing.

  I want to love this place, it's the closest coffee shop to my new work. I've been a patron for about two weeks. The older lady is pleasant and sincere. The young girl with the bob is pretty off putting, she stares at you while you enter a tip, she likely hasn't heard of tact. If you sit in there for awhile you can hear her tone change often with different customers which tells me she's not sincere. EDIT I just got coffee, the long curly haired girl with the brow piercing just gave me the most pleasant and positive experience so I'm changing my rating from 1 star to 4!! She charged me for the small cause I brought my own cup, something the girl with the bob did not offer or do! She was patient and gave me more information on the drinks then I have previously been given. She makes me want to come back, if they could clone her they'd have 5 stars!! The girl with the bob needs an attitude check. EDIT AGAIN oh my goodness I got the bob girl again and all the attitude she can give. She's the only one the pulls out tips right away before you walk away, again likely cause of no tact or she enjoys being petty. Taking my 4 starts down to two stars. She has a negative aura, a fakeness, and she's just plain rude. Why can't I only encounter the pleasant long curly haired girl with the brow piercing???! It makes me sad and disgusted when I get rudeness from a complete stranger who is who suppose to be servicing the general public. I am such a positive person, only negativity effects me. Her fake buys, and shallow talk pains me. She sounds nice to some people, but a person who is selectively nice ISN'T truly a nice person. Overheard her say 'it's on the hutch twice', turns out it wasn't -yet rather than apologize to the customer she said 'thank you for checking'. WTFudge, how is that the appropriate response, an apology was owed. Maybe I should be looking for the NEXT closest place to my new job :/

  A great spot for studying and hanging out. Their food is definitely a standout compared to many other coffee shops. Build your own deli sandwiches, soup, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries. Great friendly staff and a warm welcoming environment. It's also a plus that there is free street parking nearby and a couple of cool vintage shops and boutiques. Great spot!
