Crema's Take
“Higher Grounds is a cozy Fort Wayne spot that earns real loyalty with its creative signature drinks like the Highlander Grog and Cinnamon Toast, plus solid cold brew options that keep regulars coming back. The intimate atmosphere with soft music and comfortable seating makes it a genuine gathering place where families and friends linger, though fair warning—their small crew sometimes gets stretched thin during busy times. If you appreciate thoughtful flavor experimentation and don't mind ordering from a kiosk to customize exactly what you want, this is the kind of neighborhood coffee house worth the visit.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

The staff didn't know how to make my drink and had to wait for someone else to show up before it could be made. It then tasted like black coffee. I wanted to love the place as their mission is wonderful (which is my reason for 2 stars) but it was extremely disappointing.
I love higher grounds coffee in general! The Highlander Grog & Cinnamon Toast are wonderful!! However my biggest complaint is with the flavor of the month for the last 2 months~~ the very NASTY artificial Candy cane.. It was bad last year & its as BAD this year It ~~~ Please…
