OUR STORY
A Place for Great Coffee and Lasting Connections
One hundred years after a white mob leveled Tulsa's Black Wall Street, J. Hackett envisions a brighter future for Black entrepreneurs in Asheville.
The North Carolina Black Entrepreneurship Council of NC Idea, a foundation geared toward economic empowerment, recently awarded its first business grant to Grind AVL, a cafe and co-working space Hackett co-owns with Bruce Waller at 346 Depot St.
"I want to see a robust economy, where Black businesses are interacting and engaging with white businesses, and I think that if we do it well, then Asheville will not only attract the groups it's already attracting,
but more Black business owners and entrepreneurs" ~J Hackett

More Than Just Coffee
Our Mission
Coffee is our unifier to start, grow, and support businesses, owners, and networks to build black wall street.

We pride ourselves on providing organic, high-quality coffee products. We work with local dairy suppliers and bakeries to source the freshest, highest quality offerings.
Stay Awhile
Sunny days guarantee that our patio will be full of guests enjoying a beverage or treat. On not-so-sunny days, we also offer comfortable seating inside our cafe with free Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets!
