The Old Grind is a vibrant cafe in Hinton, Alberta. We specialize in hand crafted, high-quality, locally roasted espresso-based coffees and drinks, smoothies and Italian sodas, paired with delicious, daily fresh baked goodies, bread, sweets and treats and nutritionally healthy light meals, soups, salads, and sandwiches. Breakfast, gluten free, vegetarian, and take out options available. We also serve hard ice cream!
Set in a warm, eclectic setting, we are a locally owned and loved establishment situated along Highway 16 at Green Square, behind the Travel Alberta Visitor Information Center in Hinton. That makes us the perfect place to stop and refuel on your way to and from Jasper National Park and puts us right in the hub of our community.
The Old Grind is a favorite local gathering place offering events and live music, great food and drink, and exceptional customer service. We are proud to showcase and promote local performing and visual artists, with displayed art for sale.
Come in for not only a great meal, but a great experience! We’d love to meet you!
We are more than your favourite café!
