Yum!! Super tasty and warm environment. Layla helped me out and was super kind! Wonderful and super pretty person. :) The banana bread was sooooo good. Even got another one to bring home. Killer brownie was also good, but not as amazing as the banana bread. Iced mocha was yum too! Chips and hummus was a nice savory treat as well. Lobby can get a bit crowded and loud with the older folks that come by, not the quietest or best for a place to study. They stay focused on their crosswords as long as their coffee is filled lol. POC and Queer friendly place!Vegetarian options: Lots of pastries without meat!Parking: Parking can be a bit hard to find depending on how busy it is + the weather. Plenty of parking spaces alongside the road!
I always feel well taken care of here ????? My go-to is a four-shot small breve to power my day. Or my evening. And the lemon bar measures up to my tart expectation, not to mention the savory selections. ??

Can’t say enough good things about sovereign grounds. The coffee is well crafted to perfection- super smooth and delicious with zero bitterness or acidic aftertaste (I’m looking at you dogwood ?)! Pastries are amazing- especially their cinnamon rolls! It’s rare to find a play cafe that actually has good coffee and friendly staff! This is my favorite new spot!

This is a great neighborhood spot. I love that it is kids friendly but it’s a little bit loud. The chai latte is perfect with a hit of spice. The zucchini chocolate chip bread was heavy on the baking powder but it is GF so I might just not be used to the flavor. I think for take out coffee this place is good. Service was quick, seating was good and it was a pleasant atmosphere for the most part.

Lovely space to spend the morning with family! The man who runs the place was so friendly and welcoming, really taking time to engage with each costumer (and the kids!)My 4 year old was in the boarder of being too old for the play place, but my two year old loved it! Definitely will be going back. The cakes and breads are delicious!

This is a comfy and cozy coffee shop, such great employees and the coffee is always done well, and the atmosphere is so comfortable and the music is just the right amount of volume where you can carry on a conversation and at the same time you can zone out and read or work.

Love this place! Family friendly, community coffee shop with a manual espresso maker, not too sweet pastries, excellent and friendly staff, and play cafe for kids. I was super impressed!
Great atmosphere and awesome place to study or work. Very kid friendly too. Wide variety of drinks.Their mocha ice coffee uses Hershey's chocolate syrup. The egg muffin was good but didn't have much of a distinguishing flavor.

I love this little shop. It’s been here for years and is always my pre-shift ritual. The owner is a kind, lovely man and the food is decent too. Great neighborhood coffee shop.

Found this little gem this morning with a friend and I think it’s my new go-to coffee shop with other moms when we have to bring our kiddos! As a mom of a toddler, it can be really hard to expect my son to stay sitting while I try to enjoy a coffee with a friend but this place has incredible coffee and food, incredible customer service, and an amazing play area to let the kiddos roam while you enjoy time with a friend!! Absolutely will be returning!
