Crema's Take
“Grounds & Goodies is a genuinely welcoming neighborhood spot where you can settle in for hours with excellent coffee and housemade pastries, though you'll want to budget a bit extra compared to chain alternatives. The staff earns consistent praise for their warmth and kindness, creating the kind of comfortable space where locals feel equally at home nursing a laptop or lingering over lunch with friends. It's the rare coffee shop that wins people over not just for what's in the cup, but for the genuine hospitality that makes you want to support a local business.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

No notes. Great coffee and friendly people. Come support this local business!
I’ve stopped by this little coffee shop a few times. Admittedly, I am not a coffee drinker, so I’m here for the goodies and an occasional lunch. This is a very comfortable and welcoming space. The staff is friendly. Everything is clean and tastefully decorated. I’ll continue to…
Very nice local coffee spot. Baked goods are pretty good l. Its only downside is kind of pricey averages about $2 more than our Starbucks order. Staff are super kind!
Great coffee and super sweet employees really cute little shop definitely would come back here the only thing that I would ask is that employees and guests wear masks great and I know that it has become a little more relaxed
