Silver Grizzly Espresso

This was a great find in downtown Longview. A modern espresso bar that also serves craft beer. We order a good mix of drinks to try things out. The latte was good, nice flavor and good foam. The chia tea was good as well, they make their chia in house. We also picked up a hot chocolate. All their syrups are homemade so if you like your drinks sweet I’m sure that will taste fantastic. The service was nice and friendly. The atmosphere was hopping. Lots of people enjoying a warm drink on a cold day.

Really cute little place. I love the atmosphere especially after they decorated for Christmas. The customer service is typically really good, quick and polite. I found it easier to order online when I first came here because there is no menu hanging up or anywhere noticeable at first. When you finally get up to the counter you will see the menu on the counter that you can pick up and look at. But if you’re like me and need more time to think and make a decision it’s easier to take the menu and go sit down or just order it online. I love the convenience of being able to order online as well as it can get very busy! I have went several different times of day and in the week and have never been able to get a booth seat, those seem to go fast! But outdoor seating or the larger tables are usually available or are freed up much faster. I really appreciate that there is alternative dairy options as well as sugar free options (great news for keto and paleo people!) they have truvia in easy access on the counter when you pick your drink as well. One thing that bothers me is if you order online to drink in dining they will still give you a paper cup. I have tried this four times and have gotten a paper cup for dine in. I much prefer an actual mug, it’s so much cozier and they do such a fantastic job with the designs. But in order to get that you have to order your drink in person it seems. It has a family friendly atmosphere which makes taking my kids or larger groups here enjoyable. There is alcoholic drinks on the menu but it is still a very family Friendly crowd. It is a little more expensive than most other coffee shops and you won’t find many specialty drinks (alcohol free) but the espresso is incredible and I find it worth the price to go here (just not as often as I’d like out of courtesy to my budget ;) I do recommend this place and have enjoyed taking my out of town friends and family here.

I refer to the Griz as 'my office' Im there every week, usually several times. The ambiance is perfect for study and writing. Just loud enough that you dont feel uncomfortable, and quiet enough to be relaxing. The teas and coffees are fantastic. Also, as much as I hate fad lifestyles and diets, their vegan pastries are excellent.

I love this shop’s layout, location, service, and vibe. They serve coffee from Onyx Coffee Lab and Porch Culture Coffee Roasters. They pull a mean espresso, brew a tasty filter coffee, and throw down a great latte art event. Plus they have some local beers on tap! Keep up the excellent coffee scene here in East Texas!
