Alternative Grounds Caffe

Pour over coffee and breakfast wraps were great. Cozy space with a friendly staff.

What a great find! Got the grown up grilled cheese, husband got the bigger bird. Smoothies, coffee, chai, and other drinks available. Everything was prompt and delicious. Staff was friendly. And they take cards! Really good. We'll be stopping here again when we go through Middleport.

Great coffee, and a really good breakfast wrap. Try the cookie bread pudding!!!

Excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere. Gourmet salads, wonderful sandwiches and baked goods in addition to a variety of coffees and even ice cream.

The staff is so friendly, the atmosphere is so modern yet calming. The variety of drinks are amazing and they have a lot of different food choices. Honestly a cute little shop. I will absolutely be going again.

The staff is extremely friendly and give off a friendly vibe. The overall atmosphere with the decor, customer service, and products is warm, and comfortable. Alternative grounds is a nice place to come to get breakfast, or lunch with a nice hot, iced, or frozen coffee or tea. Along with coffee and tea, they have smoothies, pastries, wraps, sandwitches, and more. If you know what you like, they will make one of the best versions of it that youve had. Their food is delectable, and drinks refreshing. I would recommend this caffe.

Great food, delicious drinks, friendly staff - what more do you need?

My husband and I always enjoy what Alternative Grounds has to offer. We're looking forward to warmer weather so we can walk the canal right to them!

They were out of a few things, but subsumed, didn't like the endive lettuce on the sandwich, a lil light on the tomatoes, could have used more dressing, or some on the side, no bussing of tables?

I think their Reuben is one of the best in the area! Plenty of tasty corned beef and just the right amount of kraut, sauce, and cheese. The staff is incredibly friendly and the place is gorgeous! Stop in soon! We also appreciate that their containers are recyclable.

We got espresso, a smoothie, cake, and steak breakfast sandwiches. The cake was amazing, very moist. The sandwiches were great as well, very flavorful. The smoothie was ok- had syrup in it and was too sweet. The espresso was delicious, not bitter whatsoever but plenty of flavor.
