Grounds Bakery & Cafe
6277 E Spring St, Lakewood, CA
Crema's Take
“This Lakewood institution has built a devoted following around its exceptional bagels and standout bakery offerings, with regulars returning for years to enjoy everything from lox-topped everything bagels to decadent brownies. The casual, spacious vibe attracts everyone from families grabbing a quick breakfast to folks settling in for a slow morning, though the experience can be hit-or-miss depending on the day and the cream cheese flavors they're featuring. It's the kind of place where nostalgic loyalty runs deep—people who've been coming since childhood still find themselves ordering the same favorites that made them fall in love with it in the first place.”

The best bagels I’ve had… the cream cheese is amazing and their brownies deliciosa. A friendly vibe in the place
Coffee is obtained from a decanter pump. Omelet sandwich on sourdough was a good combination but dry. There is lots of seating.
Bagel was nice but the strawberry cream cheese WAS AWFUL! It was 100% just icing/frosting and so sugary and a liquid! Threw it away. The lady helping me was hilarious, not nice, rude for no reason, and didn’t make eye contact or say hello. Just stared at me waiting for me to order. Like she didn’t say “hello! What can I get you” she just stood there. Haha. But yea terrible bagel. If you don’t like to cream cheese just know I warned you. I’m going to Einstein bagels
I have been eating and coming here since I was a child and I always enjoy the food. Not only do they have great bagels but their bakery is THE BEST! Although I would want to try everything I always go back to the almond croissant or blueberry muffin! Great spot for breakfast
Love love love Grounds. Used to come here every week when I lived in LB. Recently visited after a couple years and it’s just as delicious as I remember it. I got the LOX on an everything bagel stick. I’ve had such about anything and everything on their menu from coffee to bagels to cupcakes and everything is delicious. Such a lovely family owned coffee shop. Staff is always friendly and welcoming.
