Groundswell's my go-to when I need a solid cup of coffee. Stopped by on a chilly Saturday morning around 9 AM and grabbed a flat white and a ham and cheddar panini. The flat white was smooth and strong—just how I like it. The panini hit the spot, warm and melty. The vibe is cozy and chill, perfect for reading or catching up on work. Service was friendly, and the place has a nice neighborhood feel. Only downside? It gets packed quick, so plan ahead.

The cold brew has me. Baristas 10/10
Nice local coffee shop with a good amount of seating both inside and out. Service was great and the drink pretty good, had a Cherry Cold Brew.

Buy better to go cups that don’t leak. I’ve been complaining about this years.

Decent coffee cafe with their own roasting. Fairly standard menu with a few unique specialty options.
Donuts are from do-right and the food was decent as well.
There's some art on display and seating is a bit limited. Worth a stop if you're nearby.

A nice place to stop for a quick coffee. I kept it simple and just got a drip coffee. Pretty good for early on a chilly morning. The staff was friendly and efficient. While there another customer in the location was being abrasive to them about his drink and they handed it with grace.

Unfortunately, I think this will be my last time visiting this coffee shop. The barista was so rude this morning and cold. Very short and unfriendly. This has been my experience in the past also with others there. Today, I spent over-$6 on a latte. It was lukewarm and I asked him to remake it. He challenged me and begrudgingly did so. Getting a nice coffee is a once a week treat for me and not an every day thing. There are many other great shops in the neighborhood where I will choose to spend my money.

The macchiato was bitter and the staff seemed disaffected at best… I mean, they have coffee, so there’s that.

Staff is always kind, very chill atmosphere. I'm usually just stopping in for a quick coffee, but it seems like a great place to do work/ catch up with a friend. Drinks are good and the kolaches are piping hot and delicious
