HG Higher Grounds Coffee and Cafe
354 N Country Club Dr, Mesa, AZ
Crema's Take
“This Mesa neighborhood gem punches well above its weight with expertly pulled espresso drinks and meticulous pour overs that draw folks from across town, all served by genuinely sweet baristas in a cozy, welcoming space. Beyond the coffee, they've got in-house baked goods and a surprisingly full breakfast menu that keeps it feeling like a local living room rather than a caffeine pit stop. The vibe is that rare combination of quick-service efficiency and slow-sit comfort where you can linger with a morning cigar or catch up with friends without feeling rushed.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Maybe an odd location, but this sweet little coffee shop is a gem! Great coffee and in house made baked goods as well as a full menu! I had an Americano (if they make a good Americano, any of their coffee drinks are sure to please) and it was great! I also tried the GF Carrot…
I wouldn't order the Frenchman again. $10, and worse then a sandwich from Wendy's. The eggs must be cartoon, the bacon must be pre cooked. It came out fast, but too fast. A lot of places overcharge for poor quality, this just one just finally got me to post about it. I tried to…
Decent coffee shop with lots of hearty breakfast options and pastries. We got the toast man sandwich and a cinnamon muffin, both were decent. I know inflation is a thing now, but there’s a part of me that still struggles to purchase a “just-okay” $12 breakfast sandwich. Lattes…
