Grounded Coffee

I think this place has potential, however they have a lot to work on. When I went the barista just stared at me instead of asking what I wanted or saying hello. My latte tasted like hot milk instead of coffee, and they had a beautiful espresso machine they weren't using. I visited with a friend who ordered a cappuccino, and ended up burning her tongue after the first sip. Opening the lid to my drink was another disappointment. It seemed like there was little to no effort put into the presentation of the drink, and there were some large bubbles in the milk. It's a shame, because they could be good.

Nice atmosphere. Drinks were a bit pricey. Iced Chai and London Fog did not have much flavor. The Florist coffee was good!

A solid coffee shop with good atmosphere, serving drinks made with Three Ships coffee beans. Their breakfast sandwich is particularly tasty!

Update: their specialty coffees are fantastic. I love the Beekeeper and the Pick Me Up!

Fantastic coffee shop with a relaxing atmosphere. Had the Northerner and the Brekky sandwich. Great start to the day if you are not in a hurry or looking for a place to read a bit later in the day.

Got a cortado and the Brekky breakfast sandwich. The coffee was good, but the sandwich was absolutely delicious!

Great little place cool atmosphere and then food is good. Got the avocado toast and it was banging. Lime, everything bagel topping on sourdough so good and made fresh. Only complaint the coffee could be hotter but still a great little local spot.

Wow! Exactly what I said out loud to the lovely ladies at the counter after I took my first sip of coffee! Honestly it was the best latte I've ever had and happy to hear the beans are local from Va Beach (Three Ships Coffee Roasters). From the uniquely made nature decor items that add a relaxing atmosphere to the delicious warm oatmeal, I am so happy this place has opened so close to home. Will definitely be making this my go-to coffee shop.

This is a nice little coffee shop in such a great location! Lots of parking, which is always a stressed fo me when going somewhere new! I have gone here about 3-4 times since it first opened. I enjoy the coffee, I have ordered vanilla cappuccino's and the London fog (first time I've ever had it, it is very good, would recommend)! The tables are fairly close together which can get a bit awkward by overhearing others conversations, but the decor is very cute and boho!! Besides coffee I have had one of their breads (can't remember if it was pumpkin or something different), it was very good, but I do wish they had a bit more options for food, and more specifically, pastries! The workers are nice and friendly. They have free wifi, which is an essential for any college student! I would say, however, being a college student, that the coffee can get a bit expense, especially if you get flavors or milk alternatives. I would definitely give this place a try, as it is very cute, and a local place (which are obviously superior to chains)!

Am recently gluten-free and vegan. Tried for the first time yesterday and came again today it was SO good. The most lovely baristas and their food and coffee is great! I had the avocado test on their GF bread and the beekeeper with Oatmilk. Definitely recommend.

Excellent vibeyness great coffee! This is a nice area of Newport News with some decent forest views with a dash of city. Expect a productivity boost of +5%
