The Grind Coffee Shop

Nestled within the Canizaro Library, The Grind is a beloved student-run coffee shop that has become the heart of campus culture. Whether you need a morning pick-me-up before class or a late-night study fuel, our student baristas are ready to serve you with a smile.

Our menu features an enticing array of beverages including freshly brewed coffee drinks, rich cappuccinos, creamy lattes, aromatic chai, and a variety of teas. Pair your drink with our selection of delicious pastries—from warm muffins and toasted bagels to decadent brownies and freshly baked cookies.

Grab your favorite drink (covered, of course!) and enjoy it in the quiet of your favorite library nook, or take a break and soak in the Florida sunshine on our beautiful outdoor patio. The Grind isn't just a coffee shop—it's where friendships are made, ideas are shared, and the Ave Maria community comes together.
