Grinder House Coffee Shop
For nearly 10 years, Grinder House Coffee Shop has become more than a destination for exceptional coffee, fresh breakfast, and handcrafted lunch — it has become the heart of community, music, and the arts in Crossville, Tennessee.
Founded by Angela and Asa “AA” Reese, Grinder House was built with a simple vision: create a welcoming atmosphere centered around customer service, consistency, creativity, and genuine connection. What started as a passion project has grown into one of the Upper Cumberland’s most beloved gathering places, now serving more than 155,000 guests every year.
From the moment guests walk through the doors, the atmosphere tells the story. Vintage architecture, exposed brick walls, historic tin ceilings, local artwork, and live music performances create an experience unlike any other coffee shop in Tennessee. Every detail inside Grinder House reflects the creative spirit of its owners and the community they proudly support.
Music and the arts are woven into the identity of Grinder House. The walls showcase work from local artists, while the listening room stage has hosted exceptional musicians from across the country and around the world. Since being designated an official stop on the Tennessee Music Pathways in 2018, Grinder House has continued elevating the live music scene in the Upper Cumberland by bringing national and international talent to Crossville.
The food and drink experience is equally intentional. Guests return daily for authentic espresso drinks, handcrafted coffee beverages, fresh breakfast favorites, gourmet sandwiches, burgers, waffles, and made-to-order menu items prepared with quality and consistency. With online ordering and drive-thru service, Grinder House continues delivering the same top-tier experience for guests on the go or seeking convenient no-contact options.
More than a coffee shop, Grinder House has become a true community gathering place — hosting business meetings, local clubs, artists, travelers, musicians, and friends reconnecting over coffee and conversation.
There is simply no place quite like Grinder House Coffee Shop anywhere in Tennessee.
Come visit, discover live music, experience incredible food and espresso, meet new friends, and see why Grinder House is more than a coffee house — it’s a community.
