Iced chai latte and keto Blondie for the win today. This bakery (and coffee house) will always be special since they did our wedding desserts in 2019💜 (and yes they got even better😎)
Everything is delicious! Our cupcakes and cake pops for our wedding were a huge hit! Thank you 😊

I ordered a cake for graduation. It was phenomenal! It was exactly what we were looking for. It looked beautiful and tasted delicious. The price was really affordable too. Thanks for making our celebration so yummy 😋

Every time I go in there, whether it’s for a DoorDash or a personal visit of my own, it’s always a beautiful smiling for an angel behind the counter, working her behind off, fixing the most delicate and intricate drinks you could think of and that’s basically what it’s all about your imagination cause whenever you can come up with they can fix it as long as your money can help as well🤣🤣… no but for real you should really stop by and check it out all the sweets in the world. Anything you could think of is crazy how they got all kind of sweets that I would never think of they are directly putting Starbucks to the test the only thing Starbucks has over them is the popularity definitely not the authenticity five stars for me.

What an adorable little gem! A wild variety of coffee beans from in house to some popular brands like Bones and Co. I grabbed an oatmeal cream pie and a large iced coffee. Both, amazing. I saw they did orders for cakes and at such a reasonable price. Overall; this cute bakery is my venn diagram of coffee meets bakery meets eclectic. A+ for the owners to have a little food pantry to the side!

Our oldest son got married this weekend and the first wedding cake we had from here a few years ago for our youngest son’s wedding was excellent so we of course came back here. The family and wedding party was so wrapped up in the day that it would not even have been picked up had they not reached out reminding us. I made it there about 20 minutes before they closed and they were awesome. I did not get names and being the dad I was just showing up following the directions of the bride but the gentleman inside ushered me right in and was ready to help. He showed me the cake to make sure all looked good and it looked fantastic! Could not believe the extremely reasonable price and being that it was a bride and groom cake only (separate desserts for the guests) they both said the taste and texture was perfect. Will recommend Inspirational Grounds to anyone they are awesome!

This is a wonderful little shop with a wonderful atmosphere and an amazing assortment of coffee and baked goods!
The barista was super accommodating and helpful when taking my order, and a man, whom I assume is the owner, was really also really helpful during my visit. I mentioned wanting to make cold brew coffee at home and the barista pointed me to their selection of coffee beans and flavor syrups, and the man offered to grind them for me in-store. I happily took them up on the offer.
As for the food and drinks? Amazing. I got a 32oz Frappucino with flavors and six shots of espresso and it came out perfectly. I also got a chocolate chip cookie and a lemon bar, both of which were also very good.
If I lived in Dunn, this would be my go-to spot, and I'll be recommending it to everyone I talk to who visits the area.

I found this place a couple years ago. Moved away from Dunn for a bit but I’m back now and this place is as amazing as it was when I first found it. WAY BETTER THAN STARBUCKS! Better coffee, more variety, better pricing (2 grande coffees and a large cinnamon roll for just under $15) and it’s a bakery as well. You can not beat this place if you’re in need of some coffee stop in and check them out. I highly recommend it, best coffee shop! Great people, great coffee and great service 10 out of 10 times.

I absolutely love this coffee shop. I just couldn't figure out what there was to eat or drink or the types. I feel like if they got a menu put into one booklet or one spot it would make this place 100xz better! Yummie coffee, though !

Exceptional!!! We ordered a wedding cake and 125 cupcakes and had them delivered to the barn at broad slab. They were on time to delivery and set it up for us. They were nice and very professional. The bride, groom, and guest were very pleased with the appearance and taste. The wedding cake and cupcakes were beautiful and delicious. We could not have been more pleased.
