Cork and Grind, A Wine and Coffee Bar

 

Located at 1605 N. Main Street in High Point, Cork and Grind offers wines by the bottle or glass as well as beers and coffee drinks. Drink discounts are offered regularly, and coffee specials change monthly. Cork and Grind is open from Tuesday through Saturday.

 

This High Point spot calls to mind Potent Potables in Jamestown albeit with coffee and a smaller beer selection. Unlike PP or The Brewer’s Kettle, however, Cork and Grind is open early (8 or 9 a.m., depending on the day), which makes it a great morning coffee option if you don’t mind limited choices. I’ve tried several of their rotating coffee drinks (most recently, a banana mocha latte and a cookies-and-cream frozee) and have not been disappointed. They use FosterHobbs beans, which is a definite plus.

 

Another major perk (pun not intended this time) to Cork and Grind is that it tends to draw a wide variety of food trucks and pop-up vendors. They’ve hosted everything from charcuterie to craft chocolate to seafood trucks and more. Robbie and crew are friendly and provide good service, and the atmosphere is comfortable.

 

Whether enticed by an event or simply in search of a place to grab a drink, Cork and Grind is well worth a look.
