Grounded Coffee Shop

One of the best coffee shops you can find and go to in Alexandria and the surrounding area. The owner and his wife are very accommodating and hospitable. The pastry is superb, if you ever been to France this will be a wonderful reminder. Today I’m having croque monsieur, which is absolutely magnificent in flavor. Highly recommended for coffee as well. Visit Grounded Coffee. It does get busy during morning hours fyi.

I thought that based on the comments, it would be a good place to have coffee and eat a sandwich, it's a bread with cheese and lettuce, all cold... a normal croissant and I asked for something stuffed with spinach and it was ok. but for the price I thought it would be much better.

A delightful, comfortable place with plenty of seating (tables, high tables, sofas, inside and outside), kind service and tasty coffee.

They also have some non-coffee options and a good variety of sweets (including a very tasty gluten free carrot cake) and a few grab and go prepackaged savory snacks. They might have more options in the early morning. Fairly priced too. The atmosphere was so great that I didn’t even need my headphones. A variety of people too, laptops and families and friends catching up. Just be aware of their closing times.

I am so happy to have stumbled upon this place.
As soon as you walk in you immediately want to throw yourself in one of those big couches and stay.
The coffee menu is classic with a few spins which completes the cozy feeling.
That bacon quiche was by far the BEST I've ever had. The crust was buttery and crisp, the bacon/cheese fillings worked beautifully together, and the egg mixture was somehow perfectly cooked to be creamy and just overwhelmingly delicious.
The croissants are gorgeous. Flaky, buttery, and golden brown. Very much living up to their French claim.

Definitely coming back to try everything else they have to offer.

Recent family visit to Grounded Coffee left us wanting more. The tomato soup and Chicken BLT were tasty. Our salads, fresh and crispy. The variety of delicious oversized pastries gave us a guilt-free excuse to take some home. Love the service. What a winning combination. We will be back soon! The Lopez Family

I am never disappointed coming here, and I come pretty regularly. Food and coffee are consistently delicious. All of the staff are so nice and fun to talk to. Christian is a superb barista! Everyone keep up the good work :-)

If your in the area and your looking for a good cup of coffee while you read your Sunday paper this is it!!

The decor reminds me of a small cafe in Paris. The pastries are delicious and their breakfast Sandwiches are to die for💖💖

I stopped in a few months ago to buy pastries for my coworkers. The service was great and the pastries were amazing! Everyone at the office loved them and I will definitely be back for more!
