Alternative Grounds Caffe

Absolutely loved my 1st visit to this place! The options are plentiful, food quality was great & delicious. The aesthetic gives a cozy vibe & there's books to read! The staff was so nice & upbeat.
The lowest reviews here don't make much sense, they are positive in verbiage yet less than 5 stars. Let me tell you this place is 5 star across the board.

Super cute cafe! Great menu selection and fantastic baked goods. I had the french toast sandwich and it was mouthwatering. You select the cheese, meat and vegetables and the offerings are plenty. I chose bacon, mushrooms and banana peppers. I’m still dreaming about it.

I was looking for a gourmet coffee in Medina, but all coffee shops were closed on Monday morning. I found this charming place in Middleport (about 5 miles from Medina), and the experience was very good. The staff is very friendly, and the service is quick. Highly recommend.

One of those rare places that duplicates good food with a 1960s coffee house atmosphere. A great place to take a date or a family. They have great cappuccino and scones.

Great place, amazing oasis
on the canal, too bad is only open to 2 pm I could stay here all day :)

A hidden gem in Middleport. Quiet location near the canal that offers meals, drinks (hot, cold & blended), and a charming atmosphere. Each time I've visited I've been super impressed with selection and service. I defiantly recommend.

A wonderful surprise a few feet off the bike Erie Canal bike path. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond offering to rinse and refill our dusty water bottles. The menu had a nice variety of options for breakfast or lunch, food was fresh & delicious. This was the best lunch stop on the trail that I visited cycling from Buffalo to Albany.

Excellent service, not only counter but table as well. Highly recommend for lunch!

I came in off of the bike trail in June tired, hot, and out of water. They were about to close, but the wonderful staff here took the time to make sure that I was cooled down and provisioned for the remainder of my day's ride. I'll bet that the coffee is good, but the kindness was one of my best memories.

Our group was headed West out of Medina, and we were in need of some coffee. A quick search revealed Alternative Grounds.
Not only was their coffee excellent, but everything we ordered was excellent. From breakfast wraps to panni's to cookies, all were excellent. They had outdoor seating as well as a large interior seating area. They occupy more than one space in the downtown area.
