Trading Grounds is a cozy coffee shop that offers a wide range of drink combinations with a standout coffee selection praised by regular visitors. The atmosphere is comfortable and clean, making it a great spot to get work done or socialize. The staff is friendly and supportive of the local community. The menu features popular items like the Golden Ticket and Curious Chai special. Customers love the modern and new feel, as well as the pecan maple braid. The Caramel Apple Cider is also a favorite, sweet but not overly so. The owner is often on-site, friendly, and remembers regular customers' orders. While the parking lot is somewhat small, there is enough space for a decent number of people. The coffee shop is kid-friendly, with a notice that anyone under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
The reviews highlight the delicious cold brew with cold foam, the must-try almond croissant, and the wide variety of sugar-free options. Customers praise the polite and patient staff, led by Sean, who create customized drinks for customers.
