Urban Grounds

So happy to find this place! Quirky and special 💥❤️. Loved the food and atmosphere. Will try the coffee next time. Great little areas for conversation! I'll be back soon!

I’ve been there once before and had a good experience but came in last minute with 6 other people and they were super accommodating and kind. The food and coffee was great, the esthetic with the light and plants is great as well. You won’t be disappointed!

Best coffee in Ozark and some of the best coffee in the Ozarks.

This place is an interesting concept: a full-fledged third-wave coffee shop that does business in plants, too. But the focus on the latter doesn’t compromise its excellence in the former—make no mistake, they do an amazing job with their coffee.

Unlike the new Mudhouse location across the street, the focus here isn’t on sweet flavorings that serve to hide bitter, over-roasted second-wave beans. These guys source excellent lighter-roasted coffee (last I checked, I believe they were using beans from Ozark Coffee Co in Sedalia) and focus on bringing the best possible extraction from those beans.

The simple milk-based espresso drinks (lattes, cappuccinos, and cortados) are beautifully smooth, with nutty undertones and beautifully textured milk (made with velvety microfoam, unlike the bitter coffee found under a dry foam cap like the place across the street). My personal preference tends to err on the side of cappuccinos, but if you’d like a little bit of a stronger coffee note, the cortado is made with a little higher coffee to milk ratio, while the latte has a bit more milk.

Despite my preference for not adulterating the flavor of coffee with other flavorings, every now and then, if I drop by in the afternoon, I will find myself in the mood for something a little sweeter, and I will order one of their specialty or seasonal drinks. I find that they do a great job of using subtle flavorings that do not overshadow the taste of the coffee itself but rather balance and complement it. The lavender vanilla latte I had today featured lavender syrup from well-known craft syrup maker Pink House Alchemy out of Fayetteville. Delicious!

I have not yet had the opportunity to try any of their food products, but some of the toasts that they put out look absolutely delectable.

Also worth noting that this is one of the few third-wave coffee shops in the area that has a drive-through, and the wait is never long. (They have an app linked to Clover that you can use to shave even more time off if you’re pressed for time or impatient!)

Very much worth a stop and very much Wirth becoming a regular patron and helping to keep a wonderful small business around instead of sending profits to the shareholders on Wall Street of a giant coffee chain. :)

Modern cafe, really good coffee, açaí bowl was really good 10/10

I really loved the vanilla lavender frappe I got but the iced latte was just sort of bland! I look forward to coming here and checking out some of their food and other drink options.

Just got in from Salt Lake City and was dying for some coffee. Ordered a drip and it is the BEST coffee I have had all year. The soufflé is amazing as well. If in Tarpon Springs I would highly recommend stopping in. Very nice spot with friendly staff.

I really enjoyed the coffee, and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend Urban Grounds.

Love the mom something latte & avocado toast!! Have only been to the drive thru, but definitely need to check out the inside. Just wished yall opened at 5:30am during the week. All the coffee shops in Ozark don’t open until 6am or later so you would be able to get that early morning crowd heading to work.

Very friendly and kind staff, super cute shop, I tried the Momsterra latte. Excellent flavor!

Absolutely the BEST ever Mexican avocado toast. I will definitely be back. This was amazing and so fresh. 5 Star all the way around from greeting to the food. Thanks ladies
