While in the charming town of Grafton, West Virginia, I decided to stop in when my motorcycle and I were in some rain showers. Great little shop, nice atmosphere and service. I only got an extra large iced latte, which was great. I saw a few food options carried to tables and carried out, and I wondered if I should have ordered food. Rain stopped and I headed out quickly, but was glad to see this town and this coffee shop. (You can tell Grafton was a really big deal decades ago. It is a little sad, but the town is still so interesting and cool, worth seeing it and the church where Mother's Day began).

We came to Grafton hoping to go to an old Cafe nearby but they were closed (as is their custom ) and we found this Flower Shop & Cafe nearby! It is SO cozy and the coffee/tea is lovely. They serve lunch and desserts that vary depending on what the baker is in the mood to make. So the food and dessert may not be the same each day which is fun! They’ve also got alternative milks: oatmilk and soy As well as HUGE syrup list! As it is in the name, it doubles as a flower shop and they also make arrangements. 10/10 best little cafe in Grafton!

I was in Grafton WV for the Grafton Monster festival and was I the need of a solid cup of coffee. As I was walking up Main Street, I saw the sign for Rendezbrews Coffee & more, I couldn’t resist. It’s a very cozy little cafe, very warm & inviting as well. We were warmly greeted by the hostess at the counter. I informed her that we were first timers and needed a little help with making a good drink selection. She happily reviewed the menu & drink specials. I went with the “Grafton monster” mocha & bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich. We then went to grab a table, tables are your only seating options. A few minutes later our drinks & sandwiches were brought out. The Mocha was amazing! A very light & creamy whipped cream with strawberry really made the drink. The breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious, the bacon was crispy, the cheddar was sharp & the bread was nice & soft. This was definitely the locals place to go & had that ol’ down home charm. If you like a great coffee & amazing sandwich selections, Rendezbreaws is a place you must visit.

Great coffee and scones in a welcoming friendly place. Owner will share history of this once great railroad city. Take time to stroll around town and see the amazing abandoned early 20th century buildings with such potential.

Went during the Memorial Day parade - they were SLAMMED! Waited in line for a while, but you could tell it was all hands on deck and they were working as fast as they could without sacrificing service and quality. My coffee was really good! (Didn’t order food) Super cute shop all around. Will definitely be back when I’m in town visiting family!

This is the cutest little café.The café has this inviting tranquil vibe with the friendliest people. I seen people sitting quietly crocheting in corner chair, there were people at tables actually talking, enjoying another company and conversation. Met some very nice people that Thursday morning..o yeah and they have food!! The smoothie, AMAZING!! I bought a big ole cinnamon bun and honestly was one of the best I've tried so far. The people made the area inviting and comfortable, how they interact with you makes you feel welcome.
