According to Yelp reviewers, Grounded Coffee Shop is just what a great neighborhood coffee house should be. The owners are committed to keeping prices as low as possible, and they only serve fair trade organic coffees and teas. The baristas are skilled and knowledgeable about the coffee they're preparing and are happy to make recommendations. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and kid-friendly (you'll even find a miniature train table for the little ones). The shop's baked goods are prepared on-site, and the 100 percent real fruit smoothies are freshly prepared to order.

And, most importantly, the coffee is dark, rich, and delicious. Treat yourself to a foamy cappuccino, or spend an afternoon sipping a sweetly spiced chai tea. Start your morning right with a steaming cup of joe, or wind down after a long day at the office with a comforting cup of hot cocoa.
