Hands down best espresso! I like that it's not watered down or acidic. The barista told me it's Italian roast which helps make it more balanced (?) idk but I love it!

As a coffee shop owner myself, I know how difficult it is to to run a small business so when I say these guys are doing it right, I mean it! Grounded is among the best cafes I've been to - clean facility, comfortable lounge or work space, consistently friendly staff who always ask about my day, and a very good selection of coffee and pastries. Highly recommend stopping by Grounded if you're in the area!
We met the cafe owner at a specialty coffee conference and had to stop by the shop while we were in town. We were greeted by friendly staff who helped us select cookies (which they bake in house), as well as some coffee to take for the road. Love their custom merchandise and prime location in Costa Del Mar.

Coffee was burnt and watered down, and the $12 BLT sandwich is actually half a sandwich with three small strips of bacon. Overpriced and mediocre all around. Would not return or recommend.

Such a darling little place. I had the best latte. The coffee was for my husband and he says it’s just perfect. The barista was very awesome to speak with.and she even drew a beautiful design from the foamed milk.

Best little coffee shop in CDM - Great atmosphere right when you walk in and they couldn’t have been more welcoming when I came up to the counter. The coffee was amazing and the pastries are not to be missed.

i don't exactly remember what flavor iced coffee my girlfriend ordered but i do know it was one of the winter seasonal flavors and it was pretty good. we had wanted to get one of their pastries because we had just come from eating lunch but opted for one of their iced coffees as the sun was still shining when we were walking around. the staff was kind and quick when it came to serving the drinks people ordered. i will note that we initially got our drink and it was much too sweet so we had gone back to the counter and they were happy to fix our drink to our liking.
