Gathering Grounds Coffee Cafe

I really liked this place! Fabulous vibe, with unique gifts, attentive service, and delicious food. They easily accomodated my special dietary restrictions and even made a replacement suggestion. I highly recommend stopping in on a regular basis.

Great ambiance with rich historical roots stemming from the Prohabition Era. Coffee was superb! Staff was genuinely friendly. Would absolutely visit again for an "underground" (locally brewed) beer of which they serve in their basement. If you go, ask about the tunnels!

Gathering Grounds is such a cute coffee and sandwich shop. You can also do a little shopping while your food is being prepared. Many different drink and food options including soup and a kids menu. Several different places to sit - in the window display, back room, downstairs under the stairs, or at many different styles of tables. Be sure to check out Gathering Grounds when you are in Perham!

So quaint! I ordered the half turkey 🥪 with cup of soup. I'm picky, this was tasty with lots of meat! Great service, awesome place!

I have just begun to explore my love for this hidden treasure! Coffee, yummy food options and the perfect ambiance!! I shall return! And bring all my friends!

WOW. Best $12 I’ve spent in awhile on food and it was quicker and WAY better than subway. I chose the “build your own” sandwich and it was the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time. You can tell they take pride and care into making them - I also got some fruit, cracker and cheese, and extra sauce for my takeout order. Everyone was also super nice and helpful!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST SANDWICHES I'VE EVER HAD.

Do not pass up an opportunity to eat here.

Great little restaurant and coffee. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is laid back and eclectic. A good place to linger over a hot cup to visit with a friend

Always a great experience! The food is fresh and tasty, and so is the coffee. I love the individual and private nooks downstairs. Every sandwich comes with a cracker, cheese, and fruit on the side. There’s also an interesting gift shop that’s worth a tour. The ambience is welcoming and promotes good conversation. I highly recommend stopping in often.

The absolute best sandwiches in lakes area! These ladies never disappoint. The gelato is scrumptios as well and the party platters are wonderful for entertaining.
