Grounded Coffee
11 E 8th St, Lawrence, KS
Crema's Take
“Grounded Coffee is a boho-styled sanctuary where espresso craftsmanship meets genuine hospitality, drawing regulars back for both the carefully made drinks and the warmth of staff who actually seem happy you're there. The eclectic, plant-filled space pairs perfectly curated playlists with excellent pastries and a real commitment to quality—reviewers rave about caramel lattes that hit just right and espresso that proves they take their work seriously. Whether you're settling in for a slow morning with your dad or camping out with a laptop, the outdoor seating, ample outlets, and that unmistakable vibe make it feel less like a coffee shop and more like the living room of friends who happen to pull perfect shots.”

10/10 treats, 11/10 coffee, boho vibe. The help is super warm and friendly, the Spotify is immaculate. I love this place!
My Dad and I stopped by during a brisk winter morning and had a nice relaxing coffee to start our day. The soundtrack playing in the cafe was on point and the coffee and hot cocoa were made to order. This is a hidden gem for the Lawrence community right off the beaten path of Mass Ave. Definitely stop in!
Great vibes at this coffee shop. Nicely decorated with eclectic style. Coffee is good. I especially enjoyed that it was super super sweet when I added caramel flavor. It’s nice to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.
Not only is the atmosphere fantastic, the service is always great as well! Their care for quality espresso shows through their drinks and the baked goods are always so fresh. I’m so thankful to have found this little gem!
Most likely will come back and edit review after more stops/visits here. First impressions are amazing! Friendly staff, decent coffee (I’ve had a latte and drip), LOTS of outlets for studying/working remotely, and amazing artwork. Will recommend to my Lawrence friends, and it’s location downtown is very convenient. Their pastry options are limited, would like to see a more expanded breakfast menu.
