My boyfriend brought me lunch from The Grind in Ripley today.



It's a cute, trendy spot that  has had a bit of a journey - from Spencer to a coffee. truck to a brick-and-mortar in Ripley.



They offer a variety of coffee drinks - hot, iced, frozen, plus smoothies, and even virgin daiquiris. 



They also have bagel sandwiches, flatbreads on cauliflower crust, donuts, pastries and pepperoni rolls. We got a small smorgasboard. 



White hot chocolate - so comforting. RL went with an iced coffee that he really enjoyed. Very easy, smooth, not so bitter. 



The donuts were fine; I was not enamored. But donuts do not tend to be my main thing anyway.



The spinach artichoke bagel on an everything bagel was tasty - essentially the sinful, creamy dip on carbs. You can't really go wrong there. The red velvet cookies were good - I liked the white chocolate chips and generally avoided the chocolate chips.



Finally, a pretty decent pepperoni roll. It was more like a pocket, being kinda rectangle shaped. The breading was a little sweet, but not chewy. Maybe a bit crumbly. But packed with cheese and pepperoni.
