Grand Grounds
725 W Olney Rd, Norfolk, VA
Crema's Take
“Grand Grounds shines brightest when their baristas are firing on all cylinders—one reviewer raved about a barista who crafted a creative custom iced americano with genuine care and enthusiasm. The shop offers solid traditional and specialty drinks with creative signature options, though it sounds like consistency in both service quality and pricing has been a bit uneven since their 2018 reopening. If you catch them on a good day, you'll find a neighborhood spot worth the visit, but manage expectations that not every visit lands the same way.”

I asked the friendly and accommodating barista for “a fancy coffee” as requested by a family member in the hospital. She went above and beyond and created a delicious iced americano that she makes herself at home with white chocolate and horchata and cinnamon. Of course he asked for the same thing the next day. Thank you, Chyna! You are a STAR and helped keep our patient’s spirits up after a postponed procedure.
The lady working today rolled her eyes and "scoffed" while i was ordering. She walked away before I even got done saying my order. It was very rude. The hospital staff are great though.
Decent coffee shop! Decent amount options.
I always get me a good laugh
EDIT: They changed their name and set up on August 1st, 2018, and it very different... for the worse. No longer do they have daily drink specials like they did before and their prices have skyrocketed. What used to cost me $2.80 now costs me $4.77. And it tasted worse to me. I have no desire to go back to this place. They really ruined a good thing. I left the initial review of it below so you can see how disappointed I am in them. It's much better than any other coffee shop in the area. It serves Starbucks coffee but makes it better than they do. And for cheaper. The staff is very friendly and they have a rewards punch cards where every 10th drink is free. Moreover they have daily specials, usually $2 or $3 for any size. While there is no space to hang out or read it's the best place you can get your coffee at to go.
