22 Crossroads Coffeehouse Is Now Open In Grovetown

I went by to check out 22 Crossroads Coffeehouse in Grovetown yesterday, and it was really good! They are located at 284 Meridian Drive in Grovetown, which is basically across the street from the Grovetown Walmart. To be more exact, they're between Cold Stone and Shepeard Blood Center.

22 Crossroads Coffeehouse Has Something For Everyone

If you're familiar with Grovetown then you'll know that Nine Line Apparel and The Bunker Cafe were previously in that spot. They closed a few months back. Well, for a few weeks now when I'd ride by, I saw a new logo on the front of the building, and I wondered what it was. This past weekend I rode by and saw on the front door that it was 22 Crossroads Coffeehouse.

They're doing their soft open right now, but they are ready to serve you. They've got coffee, smoothies, energy drinks, specialty drinks, and more. I went by yesterday to check it out. Considering it was the middle of the morning, I wasn't really feeling a coffee, so I decided to go the energy drink route. I ordered one of the Lotus energy drinks.

It was blended and tasted like an orange creamsicle, which is one of my favorite flavors. Let me tell you, it was delicious! I'll definitely be swinging through 22 Crossroads Coffeehouse on a regular basis.

If you want to stop by and check it out they're open Monday-Friday from 7 am-6 pm, Saturday from 9 am-6 pm, and Sunday from 9 am-5 pm. To check out more about them, just click here.
