Our Coffee Beans
Our coffee beans are proudly roasted right here in Eastern Kentucky by Kentucky Mountain Coffee Company. When we set out to find the best beans for The Gypsy Grind, we searched nationwide — but the highest quality was waiting for us right in our own backyard.
Every batch is fresh‑roasted to order, crafted with care, and delivered at peak flavor. No shortcuts, no mass production — just top‑notch, small‑batch Kentucky coffee that reflects the heart of our region.
From the first sip to the last, you’ll taste the difference that comes from beans roasted with passion, pride, and mountain craftsmanship.
French Crepes
Our sweet crêpes are a refined indulgence crafted exclusively at The Gypsy Grind in Slade, Kentucky. Each delicate, hand‑made crêpe is prepared with care, folded with intention, and inspired by the quiet beauty and artistry of the Red River Gorge.
Light, tender, and subtly golden, these crêpes offer a taste of European elegance rooted in Appalachian charm. Whether filled with fresh fruit, rich chocolate, or velvety creams, every creation is designed to highlight simple ingredients elevated through thoughtful technique.
More than a treat, our sweet crêpes are a signature Gorge experience — a culinary moment found only here, where global tradition meets the spirit of the mountains.
Breakfast Options
Start your morning with one of our handcrafted breakfast favorites. Choose a Build‑Your‑Own Quesadilla or enjoy one of our Signature Breakfast Crêpes, each made fresh to order.
Every dish begins with fluffy, cooked‑to‑order eggs, your choice of fresh veggies, four protein options, and melted cheese, all wrapped in a warm tortilla or delicate French crêpe.
Simple, satisfying, and crafted with care — these breakfast creations are a delicious way to fuel your Red River Gorge adventure.
Sweet Treats & Daily Delights
Our Cinnamon Sugar Cake Donuts are known throughout the Red River Gorge for their soft texture and perfectly balanced cinnamon‑sugar coating — a simple classic done exceptionally well.
For something truly unforgettable, try our Jumbo SkyBridge Cinnamon Rolls. Baked to golden perfection and finished with rich, house‑made cream cheese icing, they’re big enough to share but tempting enough to keep all to yourself.
We also feature a rotating selection of fresh‑baked pastries, including flaky turnovers and a variety of soft, flavorful muffins, offering something new and delicious with every visit.
Whether you’re grabbing something with your morning coffee or pairing dessert with a Dirty Soda, our sweet offerings are baked fresh and inspired by joy. Availability may vary—stop in and see what’s baking today!

Dirty Sodas
We’re proud to be the café that introduced Dirty Sodas to the Red River Gorge, bringing this fun, flavor‑packed drink trend to the mountains long before it hit the mainstream. At The Gypsy Grind, we craft every Dirty Soda with premium ingredients, creative combinations, and that signature Gypsy Grind twist that keeps guests coming back.
Alongside our originals, we also serve Dirty Alanis and Red Bull mixes, offering even more ways to sip something bold, refreshing, and totally unique to our café.
From the first pour to the final fizz, our lineup of Dirty drinks has become a true Gorge favorite — and a Gypsy Grind specialty you won’t find anywhere else.
Non-Coffee Drinks & Kid-Friendly Drinks
Not a coffee fan? We’ve got you covered. Our non‑coffee menu is crafted with the same care and creativity as our signature brews, offering refreshing, flavorful options for every guest — including the little adventurers exploring the Gorge.
Enjoy our flavored lemonades, bright and refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. Treat yourself to our Ghirardelli chocolate or strawberry milks, made with premium sauces for a rich, velvety finish. And for an extra touch of fun, add popping boba to any drink — a playful burst of flavor that kids (and adults) love.
Whether you’re cooling off after a hike or looking for something delicious that isn’t coffee, this menu brings joy to every sip.
Hot & Iced Brew Creations
Every cup at The Gypsy Grind begins with fresh‑roasted beans from a Kentucky Proud roaster, ensuring unmatched flavor and quality. We craft our drinks using premium ingredients like Ghirardelli powders and sauces, and are now introducing house‑made syrups — starting with vanilla and caramel.
From rich, comforting brews to smooth iced favorites, each sip reflects our dedication to freshness, craftsmanship, and Kentucky pride.
