Queen City Grounds | The Refinery

Description: Coffee shop located in the beautiful Refinery building with a full host of food/beverage offerings (including of course, our home roasted coffee). See you soon!

Comments: If you’re familiar with their Uptown location, it’s closed. Indigo Tea & Coffee Co. has taken over their old location. This is their new spot inside a larger building called The Refinery. The coffee shop is just a window inside. The seating is from the building itself, and there's not much of it. There are some tall tables with tall chairs, coffee bar style, and then two coffee table, couch, and lounge chair combo areas.

One of them is half outdoors, which is actually pretty cool. It's at the far end of the hallway behind a glass door. There's a glass wall, two solid brick walls, and then the fourth "wall" is a half open window with plants adorning the sill. Top tier place to sit on a warm day and read a book, there's even outlets in that section, and the Wi-Fi reaches out there.

They have orange flavored cinnamon rolls 🔥🙌🏾 and serve properly steeped loose-leaf tea (no bag in your cup, just the brewed tea). Now, parking is in a paid garage, but they'll validate your ticket, so bring it in with you.

Aside from that, I'd say unless you really like what they're serving, this isn't a place to drive across town to work remote, study, or hangout at. The parking and the small space make it more of a convenience spot, if you're in the area, check it out for sure.
