From The Ground Up

I go here about once a week when I go to the library. A little pricey but I love all their monthly drinks and the variety of products. My favorite drink they have right now is the nutty Irishman and my favorite food item is their garden bagels. Always so good. Today I went for a second time in a week and spiced it up. I got a match madness which is a vanilla cinnamon coffee drink and an espresso brownie. So yummy!!! Always so friendly and quick. Now knowing they do pick up orders. I might have to come a few times a week before work. More I get order and familiar with local businesses around here. I am so happy to give my money to the small businesses! Especially when they are a 10 out of 10! Thanks guys, you rock!

Great place to stop for a beverage or food, and to relax. Very interesting place (decor).

Great coffee at a local shop! Looking forward to stopping back!

My new go to for a great cup of coffee!

I work remotely, and although I have a fantastic home office, I work from libraries or coffee shops about once a week becaues there are just too many distractions at home. From The Ground Up is in my regular rotation of away-from-home work spaces. Some of the older reviews mention that there's no WiFi and they don't take card payments, but that is no longer the case, so don't let that deter you. It's a friendly atmosphere and the baristas are incredibly welcoming, even if you just buy one drink and sit in a booth or at a table for several hours. (Guilty.) I haven't tried the food, but it looks and smells great. My go-to drink is a mocha, and I've never had a bad mocha here in the 2+ years I've been coming in. This is a nice little coffee shop, and I'm glad we have a place like this in downtown Wisconsin Rapids.

I like it. Nice coffee. I've had really good lattes. Good service. They don't have a problem using my travel mug. Good food, like pastries, muffins, biscotti, bagels, sandwiches, and soup. Teas and coffee gifts. Love the variety of seating from tables, booths, and group size table in the back. Fun decor. Free little library inside. Bulletin board.

Since coming back to central WI, my partner and I had our first date in a while at the Coffee House. We came at 2:50pm, had our drinks and played our favorite card game before leaving. The owner let us stay til 4 without letting us know we’ve overstayed our time. ? I only realized this when we came back a second time that their closing time was at 3pm. Friendly service, wonderful display of arts, variety of books and games to choose from while staying there. And I love getting coffee served in mugs! The atmosphere is very cozy and homey!
