Home Grounds
405 State St, Greensboro, NC
Crema's Take
“Home Grounds strikes that rare balance between serious espresso craftsmanship and creative seasonal experimentation, with their matcha program earning particular devotion from regulars who rave about signature blends like the berry and maple matcha. Beyond the minimalist, coquette-inspired interior, there's a hidden gem of a communal patio tucked behind the strip that creates an unexpected gathering space perfect for lingering conversations over thoughtfully made drinks. It's the kind of place where you'll find both classic eggnog einspanners and adventurous seasonal offerings, all served with a genuine warmth that reflects the shop's Christian values.”

In my opinion the BEST matcha in town!!! I hope they keep the berry & bright matcha on the menu year round. It’s the perfect blend of matcha, blueberries and the maple syrup. I’ve been here a handful of times and they never disappoint. The staff is friendly, and it’s very clean.
Cute shop with great coffee and matcha, which comes unsweetened by default. Loved the eggnog einspanner (available dairy free).
I loveee this place! A lot of people don’t realize the patio behind the strip is communal (except during special events), so not only do you get to enjoy the beautiful minimalist coquette decor inside, you can enjoy a pretty garden patio too! This coffee shop is a total hidden gem on State Street with truly excellent coffee. They use Vignette espresso which is a big plus for me, and their drinks are always consistent. They make a perfect cortado and cappuccino, and the staff are also super sweet, always friendly and accommodating. I will petitionnnnn for them to keep the drift and drizzle on the menu forever, it’s by far the best specialty coffee drink I’ve had anywhere and I get it at least 3x a week. This is my plea to the young women who own the place to keep it on! My friends and family are addicted. This place misses absolutely nothing, just give them a try and you’ll get it. Edit: We didn’t know his name but we do now - Luke is amazing and unbelievably nice every time we come in. He’s an amazing addition to this place!
My friends and I were waiting outside this weekend for Mizumi and I recognized this cafe across the street from TikTok. We were very excited to try it! 3 of us got the pumpkin lattes, one got a regular iced coffee and then a iced matcha latte! When I tell you AMAZING. I tried my friends matcha and I don’t even like matcha…. Delicious!!! The pumpkin was soo perfect and not too sweet. The baristas were so nice to us and helpful even though it was busy. It is so cute inside also! It was very busy and because we needed to be outside because we were waiting for our table for dinner, we were told the big patio in the back is ok to sit at. Which seems to be the case based on pictures here too! It was super cute but this old man kicked us out after bothering us for a few minutes about an umbrella which we did not even touch! There was two people on the corner with coffees who told us he harassed them too and always does and that he owns one of the businesses on state! So we just stood in front of Mizumi with our delicious coffees staring at him. I don’t think he wanted us to have coffee there so I will be coming here more often to use the backyard!! 😂 home grounds customers unite!
I love Home Grounds, especially because it is a Christian coffee company and they play Christian music when you are there. Their drinks are really good, especially their lattes! This coffee shop is my wife and my favorite place to get tasty drinks. I’ve also done meetings with friends here multiple times and the vibes are just on point. Best coffee shop in Greensboro!!
