I really want to like this place more but the wifi is never working, sometimes they are not actually open during posted hours, they will close randomly. iPad for credit cards goes down, “be right back” sign is up with NO one insight etc. It makes it really difficult to ever get any work done or want to spend money here.

I feel like I need to post a review to balance out so that other out of towners aren’t confused by the high reviews.
This place is run by campus ministry. It is run and operates on a suggested donation basis, which is great, but don’t come in here hoping for a quick cup of coffee. It’s a long, slow process to finally get your coffee and the volunteer on shift will have to run around and help with every other facet of the place while making your coffee.
Also, the barista we had wasn’t super experienced or great at drink making sooo, left something to be desired coffee wise. My latte came out cold.

We are from out of town and stopped for coffee here. The barista Kinsley not only made us some wonderful cortado but was very knowledgeable about the surrounding area which helped us find some things to do for our vacation. Wonderful way to start the day.

Didn’t spend too much time here but from the moment I walked in I was impressed. It’s a great building! The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We ordered a couple of coffee drinks and they were perfection. It seems like a really great place for the college kids (yes, I’m old ) to hang out in. We were kind of rolling through so we only got to take in the scenery for a short period of time. I will definitely be putting this on my list of places to head back to and spend more time in.

I went there to do some homework, its a great atmosphere no yelling just people lightly enjoying themselves playing 8 ball pool or having discussions. There was a prayer board which was interesting, I guess it may be more of a community than just a coffee place.

This is a great little coffee house and is a good, local alternative to Starbucks. The coffee is good, the people are friendly, and there are couches to hang out on and places to study. There’s a taco truck that’s usually parked outside in case you’re hungry too.

I love this coffee shop. It’s the perfect place to get away from school and get studying done, or hang out with friends. I have been coming to Hillside for the 4 years I’ve been at WCU and it’s always been the perfect place to come for coffee. It’s also dog-friendly!

I go here every week at least once or twice and the service I receive is prompt and courteous. It’s a great place for coffee, quick bite to eat, or to do homework. This is now my go-to spot as the Hillside Grind employees always provide great customer service!
