Crema's Take

Schoolhouse Grounds makes espresso drinks that actually impress—reviewers rave about their lattes, and the staff will stay late to get your order right even after closing time. The vibe is genuinely welcoming with a charming original chalkboard menu and solid breakfast offerings, though prices skew high for the portions and service can be inconsistent depending on who's behind the counter.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

This is a quaint little coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. The lady who runs it is also very nice. Our iced lattes were good, but the proportions of coffee and milk were definitely off, leaving our lattes more milky than the standard. Still a good find and about the…
