Grounded
300 N Main St, Las Cruces, NM
Crema's Take
“Grounded is that rare café where the vibe is just as carefully crafted as the coffee, nestled in a charming old downtown Las Cruces building with cozy nooks and a peaceful courtyard that practically begs you to linger. Their signature drinks like the Orange Cinnamon Latte with Mexican Vanilla blend familiar comfort with creative flair, paired with a thoughtful menu that celebrates vegetarian and gluten-free options—making it feel like they genuinely care about who walks through the door. Come Friday mornings or after 12pm when the crowd rolls in, and you'll find yourself among folks who've made this their weekly ritual, all drawn back by the sweet staff, delicious house-made pastries, and that effortless southwest charm that makes you feel like you've discovered something special.”

I always look forward to coming every Friday! The drinks and food are amazing, and the people working here are so sweet. I will say it tends to get slammed around 12:00 so plan to be here a while if you get there around that time because the line WILL be out the door😭
What a beautiful place to eat a delicious meal. I loved the attitude of the place. Vegetarian and gluten sensitivity is embedded in its misson. I love the discount for bringing your own to-go containers and an up-charge on to-go packaging. The coffee is smooth and delightful, even the plain ol' Joe. And of course I got a sticker for my new coffee cup. I love this place.
The vibe in this place is so soothing. The drink offerings are unique yet familiar. The Orange cinnamon latte with mexican vanilla is superb. A nice variety of local-style fare and baked goods. Table and seating choices are eclectic, some comfy and some set ups for study. Great for dates, meetings, noshing, reading, and hanging out.
Grounded is that effortlessly cool, hipster-chic hangout that just radiates good energy. Set inside a charming old downtown New Mexico building, it’s got cozy rooms, study nooks, and a peaceful courtyard that feels like an escape. I had the vegan pizza and a matcha cookie (so good!), and everything here leans vegan and vegetarian-friendly — from the bowls to the bakery case to the amazing coffee. They carry local roasters’ beans, plus super cool merch, stickers, and retail finds. It’s also the go-to hub for what’s happening around town — their walls are covered with flyers for festivals, yoga, art shows, and raves. Whether you’re here to chill, study, or just soak up the scene, Grounded is where Las Cruces comes to connect and vibe.
Super cozy and hipster ‘esque cafe that has the perfect blend of the southwest and feels rustic. The pizza was super delicious. The guy who took our order Ren was super knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. Açaí was very filling for its small size, nachos were tasty and baked to perfection. I hope they can expand their breakfast menu.
