Iron Grind Coffee House

I would give 5 stars, but it's annoying that they are always closed. Literally just breakfast/brunch hours, and no Sundays. 3 pm is a common coffee pick me up time, and they aren't even an option.

I love small, non-franchised establishments like this! They seem to go above and beyond to make your experience great!

We popped in here while traveling to Manistee and it was lovely! I was so grateful they had gluten free dairy free muffins. They were delicious too. My hubs enjoyed his toasted marshmallow latte. The girls behind the counter weren't overly friendly, but we were there during the last hour of opening.

The Iron Grind is a gem, nestled in Auburn. Unbelievably good food, delicious coffee, space for adults and children…. It is a dream come true for this mama. So many spaces these days aren’t kid friendly, it can be hard to go out and do things with kids, without the fear of how they’ll act when there’s nowhere they can “be a kid”. Hubs and I can have an awesome breakfast, or just a snack and some coffee while our energetic 3 year old gets to play in the awesome indoor play area. We have brought friends with kids here too! It’s just all around awesome. I think one of my favorite touches are the fruit snacks you can buy for your littles ? I’m guilty of forgetting to pack just about anything so it’s so great!!!

Love the atmosphere and coffee flavor options. Thanks for gathering spot for (mostly) retired Dad’s in the morning!
