Higher Grounds Coffee House
23776 Lake Dr, San Bernardino, CA
Crema's Take
“This charming spot in a converted gas station brings genuine warmth and community spirit to San Bernardino, with friendly baristas who craft solid espresso drinks and pair them beautifully with satisfying breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast on quality sourdough. The inviting, nature-surrounded setting—complete with inspirational touches like complimentary bibles—makes it feel less like a typical coffee shop and more like a gathering place for neighbors, perfect whether you're lingering with a laptop or meeting friends over pour overs and pastries. You'll find the vibe refreshingly genuine and the care evident in both the drinks and the welcome.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
