Groundhouse Coffee & Bakery

I am visiting Kansas and wanted to try a new cafe. I’ve heard downtown Gardner was a great place to look and this was the first place I went. It’s very cute and has a great vibe. The only issue is that they have a beautiful menu of food shown all day that is not available after 10am. I learned later that they actually do have a ham and cheese turnover that could’ve been suggested to me, but salads and sandwiches in a cooler were suggested (not as appealing as the food on the menu so I declined). My recommendation would be to take down that menu after 10am. My eyes went on the menu when I first walked in and I was allowed to look at the menu long enough to decide what I wanted. It’s a big let down to be told the items I’ve set my heart (and hungry stomach) on are not available. My other suggestion would be to make a lunch menu if possible. I ordered a coffee in place of the food I was wanting, and asked for a suggestion. Caramel Lattes are the most popular coffee drink around America for sure, so that is what I was recommended. It was a 3/5 for me because it kind of just tasted like flavoring. I also got a cake, which was alright, not super moist. This review is just my honest opinion on my experience and the items I did order, 3 because it wasn’t bad and the place was clean and aesthetic. I also ended up going around the corner to Blazers to eat, not as healthy as Groundhouse food (which I was looking forward to because there isn’t as much healthy-advertised food in the mid-west, especially out in Gardner or Spring Hill) but was very good.

Stopped by Groundhouse Coffee for the first time today and really enjoyed it. The service was fast and friendly. My caramel macchiato was perfect, I will be back to try the fresh homemade cinnamon rolls soon!

Good atmosphere, coffee, and food. I’m not a big mocha fan, but have one of theirs a try. It wasn’t bad, could actually taste the coffee. Oddly Correct coffee is served here, which is one of the better KC roasters.

I absolutely loved and adored Groundhouse. They are by far my most favorite coffee shops anywhere.

That being said this drive-through location Never get my order, correct. It doesn’t matter the time of day, day of the week, food or coffee… every single time I go with no exaggeration my order is wrong or is missing something.

Okay hear me out! This company is literally the best coffee shop I've ever had the pleasure of being introduced too! Forget the big chains not only is Groundhouse a million times tastier it's also actually cheaper than your chain coffee shops.

This is one place that my kids really miss since moving away from Gardner. Whenever we are back in town visiting family they always want to stop here for a coffee and a snack. They love the huge rice crispy treats and the Brown Cow and the Caramelicious. We really wish there was a Ground House in Omaha!

Mixed Emotions. The cinnamon roll was off the charts. Fluffy, just the right amount of cinnamon not too much frosting which was also amazing. Loved it. Was hopeful on the arrival al of the biscuits and gravy only to be sorely disappointed. Nothing that resembles a biscuits. Ok, still excited after my cinnamon roll; nope, the gravy was great, but doesn't do any good when the "biscuit" disintegrates because it is so dry. The couple across from us heard us and said they heard the same and wondered how long it was going to take before they realized this. Coffee is ok.

I don't get a chance to go very often but I have never gotten anything I didn't like. On weekend mornings they have amazing crepes.

Great local coffee house!!! South location offers drive-through. Both Gardner locations offer inside seating. Friendly staff!!! Coffee & Tea better than national chains. They offer breakfast items, too. Our favorite is the Coffee cake made fresh daily.

Walked across the street from the truck stop. I went inside, and they told me I had to mobile order and wait outside (it's 30°) because they are still closed because of covid. I finally ordered online with frozen fingers and went back inside and said it won't let me order food. She said we got your order, that's okay. What do you want? I'll ring it up for you. UNBELIEVABLY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Find some decent employees and open your doors! I saw basically the same review a year ago. Obviously, you have not addressed these issues. I won't be back!
