JERSEY CITY, NJ — The Grind coffee shop has served up warm lattes and friendliness in Jersey City's redeveloping Bergen-Lafayette section for 10 years. The cafe announced on social media over the weekend that it will be leaving its Communipaw Avenue space — but only because it's growing.

"After 10 incredible years in Bergen-Lafayette, Grind Coffee will be closing its current location," they wrote. "But this isn't goodbye. It's a new beginning."

Turns out they're moving a few blocks away, to the corner of Suydam and Communipaw, the former spot of their Grind General Store.
