I love everything about this place. Food, service, drinks and atmosphere. Today in particular I had the Avacado Toast to Toast, it was delicious! Their outdoor seating is already set up and it’s the cutest place to hang out. Mac and her team are A+!

Great place with outdoor seating. Very receptive to our bringing our dog when we stayed outside. Food fresh. Enjoyed Greek salad very much. Home fries done to perfection. My daughter's breakfast burrito was excellent. Highly recommend. We'll be visiting again.

TBH, I’ve ordered twice from Grounders through Grubhub so I can’t speak on the atmosphere, since I have yet to go there physically, but the food was so fantastic I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t hop online and give them a shoutout.The two times I’ve ordered I’ve gotten the grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich, which is incredible! I also got a cafe mocha, which was also very good with an additional espresso shot.My son had the Red Dream waffle and he LOVED it! He was so happy they served it with FRESH strawberries and NOT frozen or compote the way some other establishments do.I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant for my husband as well, he’s still in bed, so he hasn’t had it yet…but it looks good and smells fabulous!Even though we ordered Grubhub and didn’t experience the service in person, I HAD to give five stars for the little messages they put on the packaging! ‘Good Morning,’ ‘Thank You’ and smiley faces go a long way with me, because I know how busy the staff is on weekend mornings, and for someone to take the time to do that shows a great respect for your customers.Next, we’ll try to go in person some morning, I’d love to stop in and let the owner/manager/staff know they’re now our favorite go-to breakfast place!

I went here with my partner for a pickup order and my review is based off that experience.I really enjoy this cafe! We ordered the French toast and omelette for our food and the salted caramel latte and expresso for our drinks! The food was delicious and I felt for the price, the portions were good. The drinks were great as well and not too sweet!We did pick up so we didn’t dine in but we did wait inside. I really liked the ambiance of the cafe, it felt quaint and homey. I really enjoyed the background Brazilian music. It’s a bit small and tends to fill up quickly so something to keep in mind if you’re looking to dine in.The servers were all friendly and professional. One thing I love is that on our takeout boxes, they write cute little messages which made our day.If you’re looking for breakfast food, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to you!

I've been a regular at Grounder’s, often ordering lunch daily for years. However, a recent experience has unfortunately marred my view of this establishment. The online ordering system sometimes fails to register specific notes, like my need for gluten-free options. This particular day, my gluten-free note was missed. I noticed this only minutes after placing the order and promptly informed one of the kind employees, who reacted professionally.However, the owner’s response was disappointing. She aggressively pointed out that they don’t offer gluten-free paninis, only toast, despite my frequent orders of the same in the past. Her tone was unnecessarily rude, and she questioned if I expected her to remake the sandwich.As a gluten-free customer, I’ve overlooked the smaller portions and even the fact that many items seem to be pre-bought from Costco. But what I cannot overlook is the lack of respect and kindness from the owner, especially towards a loyal customer. Her attitude not only undermines the hard work of her employees but also shows a disregard for customer loyalty.To the owners, if she isn't the owner herself, I would suggest taking note of the behavior of the Brazilian woman with lighter-colored hair with faded micro-bladed eyebrows. It's a shame to see years of patronage end this way, but customer service, especially from the top, matters significantly.Pictures attached is from a previous day showcases the size difference between a regular and gluten free panini, which are the same price.

A great place to stop in for a coffee and a quick bite. Cozy atmosphere, sun-filled dining space, and a lot of menu options. I've ordered delivery from Grounder Café twice and both times the food was prepared quickly, accurately and my orders were always very fresh. I definitely recommend their fresh squeezed orange juice and their omelettes are amazing!

I stop by a few times a week to pick up a breakfast sandwich and drink. The food is always delicious, I appreciate that they offer gluten free bread. The service is great, every time I pick up my food there’s a sweet handwritten message which just brightens my day. Staff are very friendly and the place is clean and cozy. Highly recommend!

Just ordered 2 bacon egg cheese sandwiches, 1 on white bread, and 1 on a croissant the only problem is I'm not sure which one was better! Both were perfect, will definitely be going here again. A+
