Came in recently to place an order for a cake at the recommendation of another bakery. The staff member was amazing and easy to talk to they were very informative about how the color I wanted might affect the flavor. After placing the order we got some treats that were amazing.

Wish we had known about this amazing little coffee shop earlier. We've come in every day for the past week and my girlfriend adores the coffee and the ambience. The barista makes the perfect latte every time! Definitely recommend stopping in for your coffee fix!

Cannot say enough about this bakery - they’ve done a bunch of cakes for us over the years and they’re always perfectly decorated and taste delicious! They’re so kind and willing to go the extra mile to help customers.

This place has some of the best sweets! They offer vegan options which are out of this world! I ordered the vegan carrot cake and had family members try it and they could not tell it was vegan. That cake was a huge hit with my family. So much so that even non-vegan family members request that cake at family gatherings. Their morning glory muffins are another one of my favorites! Additionally, the staff provides great customer service.

Brand new customer. The drinks and treats are to DIE FOR. I’ve been so bummed living in the area for a year and hadn’t had a decent cup of coffee while out and about in so long - I was literally to the point of looking forward to my sad McDonalds iced coffee. I finally heard about Inspirational Grounds and paid them a visit and was totally blown away. So excellent! Looking forward to visiting again!

Had our first time experience today after finding them through a google search. The atmosphere was perfect! No, it’s not a brand new building, but it’s absolutely charming! I loved the character and feel. The service was above par and I love that they offer keto goodies and coffee! Huge plus for me. We live about 30 minutes away, but I’m seriously considering a weekly trip :) Below is a picture of all the keto snacks I bought, 1 of each!

Love this place!! People are nice. The coffee is excellent! They have signature coffee drinks from every holiday. They can make signature coffee drinks from st. Patrick's day, Easter, Christmas and etc lists. They also have a great selection of baked goods. They can also make any cake that you can think of.

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! We were visiting Dunn for the day to see the museums. We stopped for a cup of coffee. As a diabetic I usually hate going in a place that has fresh baked sweets. I saw the keto cookies and was expecting the usual keto "cardboard " keto cookie. I tried one bite and had to get some of all the keto. Try the caramel mocha cookies, they are to die for. I am officially in love with whoever dies the baking! Great service, excellent prices, and did I mention the keto? Unfortunately I live 50 miles away, if I was closer they couldn't get rid of me!! Oh yeah, THE KETO!!!

The Japanese green tea was so good I bought some to take home, along with a delicious variety of cake balls. My bagel and cream cheese were fine. One potential down side is limited seating. If, like me, you're driving a significant distance (40 min. from home) to meet someone to chat and catch up, understand you may or may not get seating at their very few tables, which could really negatively impact your experience. We got lucky. The people who came in immediately after us didn't. If you do take out, it won't be an issue. The other downside is the interior decor is dated and the flooring is in disrepair, so the ambiance isn't congruent with the charming exterior. Don't go for the ambiance; go for the baked goods and drinks.

I've been to this place before as a customer. The service and hospitality matches their prices and their quality products of any coffee capnnesiur expectations. I was there recently to pickup an online delivery order and besides the wait, (10-15) mins I was surprised by the help I received from the gentlemen behind the counter. He we above and beyond my expectations.
