Our mission IS Simple
We believe in the power of a good cup and an even better connection. Velvet Grind is for the artists, the insomniacs, the sweethearts and sinners. Come as you are—leave just a little more caffeinated (and maybe inspired).
Velvet Grind was born from burnout. After years in sterile cafés and soulless chains, I wanted to create a space that felt like *home*—but moodier.
A place where people could gather, feel seen, and sip something strong enough to stir your soul. Every blend, every pour, every damn candle on the shelf is chosen with intention. I like it dark. I like it bold.
Welcome to Velvet Grind.

Nights to Remember
Real words from people who made Velvet Grind their gathering ground
book your event
“I hosted my brand launch here and it was so vibey people thought it was a popup art installation. 10/10 would rent again.”
— Jordan
“Our poetry reading felt more like a séance than a show. The lighting, the coffee, the energy—unmatched.”
— Zayla M.
“Velvet Grind made our engagement party feel intimate, witchy, and warm. It was exactly the kind of offbeat magic we wanted.”
— Rosa & Dani
