The Grimes Brief

Guide · Coffee

Where to get a good cup of coffee in Grimes, from a local roaster to the drive-thru run.

Grimes covers the two things a coffee town needs: a local roaster for when you want to sit, and reliable drive-thrus for when you do not have the time. Here is where to go, with addresses.

The quick pick

For local and made-with-care, Lightbrite Coffee on SE Grimes Blvd. For a fast, dependable drive-thru, Ziggi's or Caribou on the Gateway corridor.

Local roaster

Lightbrite Coffee

Lightbrite Coffee (1895 SE Grimes Blvd, Suite 104) is the local roaster, the spot to know if you care about the bean and want somewhere to actually sit. It shares a building with Pour Choices.

Drive-thru

The quick morning run

Note: Luke's Coffee Hub on SE Destination Dr appears to have closed, so we have left it off. If it reopens, we will add it back.

A new spot opens in Grimes all the time

We track the new cafes, the openings, and a weekly local pick, free every Monday.
