Ground-a-bout Marquette

A great find. I needed a spot for breakfast and a comfortable spot to do the morning email and socials stuff. Good coffee. A tasty everything bagel sandwich and a very pleasant atmosphere. I’ll be back next time I am downtown in Cape G.

I was staying at the Courtyard Marriott next door to this gem for a couple days (excellent hotel btw), and I visited this coffee shop twice while there. The first day was just a take out Americano, the service was good and the coffee was fantastic. I returned the next morning with more time and had breakfast (biscuits and gravy) and a pour over while I worked from their Delta Lounge-esque bar top tables (with power).

I can say that I will have to find excuses to return here for work as the experience was wonderful! Not only was the food good, the pour over was amazing. I could hear the manager (assumption) training someone on the way to prepare it. They presented the pour over on a tray with carafe instead of the unfortunately too common practice of just putting it in a regular coffee cup. They apologized for the delay even though a pour over takes time and you should not order one if you don’t have time. They asked me questions multiple times by name after my order (what coffee would you like to have Ryan, how is the pour over Ryan, etc…).

I am by no means a coffee snob, and just enjoy a nice slow cup of coffee when I have time to indulge. That being said, I hope the locals in Cape Girardeau are supporting this gem, because it is exactly that.

The fact that I am sitting here at 11:30 pm thinking about how I need to write this review should tell you what you need to know.

After I left the establishment, I returned to my hotel and encountered another guest in the elevator on my way back to my room. He saw the branded to-go coffee cup and said “that place is great isn’t it?”

If you are anywhere near Cape Girardeau and enjoy coffee, do yourself a favor and visit The Ground-a-bout….. you can thank me later!

Great coffee and food. Love the support of law enforcement. Saw a prior comment from the owner that there was a discount for all law enforcement. A little disappointed that staff refused to provide it and doesn't share the owners point of view 🤔

My family and I really enjoyed this quaint coffee shop in Downtown Cape. We tried a variety of their breakfasts including the burrito, BLT, waffle flight, and chicken & waffles. All were delicious. The salted caramel latte (both iced and hot) were delicious. I also really enjoyed the chai latte with just a hint of spice. If I'm back in the area I will come back to try other menu items. Staff were great, especially the barista he was kind and helpful. The inside is perfect for working, reading or catching up with friends!

Parking: Parking: street parking is plenty and available right outside the shop.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessibility: getting in there is a small ledge. They have one stall large bathrooms. The space between tables and area near the counter is slightly narrow.

Best breakfast burrito ever! 🌯 I had to come in two days in a row to get it again. So delicious and the atmosphere was great. Plus the coffee was amazing too! Highly recommend :)

So this is what you get anymore when you pay $6.50 for a mocha. Highway robbery! You have completely lost my business.

Service was fast and friendly! I had the avocado toast and it was great! Loved being able to sit outside. Great place for breakfast!

perfect coffee house atmosphere, convenient location, and fair prices. service was a bit slow, but everyone was very nice nevertheless.

Wheelchair accessibility: the space inside is rather small, i would not recommend this as a great wheelchair accessible place. it is doable, but not convenient.
