Josh PetersonOctober 28, 2015I'd take a photo but I already devoured the quiche I ordered. It tasted amazing (best quiche I've ever had) and the presentation was first class. The staff, decor and the vanilla latte are also great.
Dave HealySeptember 28, 2013Great little cafe! They have a limited menu of dinner items as well as incredible cupcakes and cookies. There is a little art gallery in the adjacent space with selections from local artists.- Josh PetersonOctober 28, 2015I'd take a picture but I already devoured the quiche I ordered - taste and presentation were first class. The staff, ambience, and the vanilla latte are great too. I'll definitely come here again.
Natalya GoncharovaAugust 8, 2016Definitely try earl grey waffles and MN cookie. By the way, their granola was delicious too (And I truly don't care for granola in general).
- Ricki GroskreutzSeptember 5, 2016Serving #dogwood coffee which we 💜. Enjoyed smooth and rich lattes, chips & salsa as well as sharing something sweet & delicious.
Belly, A nice name for the rewards program. If my points continue to add up, I could get a good discount on lunch and/or dinner. Something to keep in mind.
Tyler ChartierAugust 8, 2016Fantastic coffee comes with a fantastic vibe. Friendly and happy barista serve up quality drinks with ample seating, wifi, and peace for everyone.
Cap'n SlippNovember 29, 2018Super-aggressive wi-fi filter here. Completely innocuous sites like stackoverflow.com & foursquare.com are blocked (if you're a programmer, don't expect to get any work done here).
Karl NoelleJuly 15, 2013Late-night Sunday hours, incredible local coffee & baked goods and a huge dehumidifier will make me come back many times!
- Cute little local coffee shop in the Midway area; they're expanding and will soon have beer and more food options! Excellent local coffee from Dogwood and Truestone!
Heavy TableAugust 19, 2015Try the daily cupcake special: a recent offering featured moist, raspberry cake cradling a bright lime-basil cream in the center -- divine. Read more
WinterAugust 31, 2014This is a cute little place with delicious cupcakes. Friendly staff. It's not too far off the new light rail route.
Matthew ThomasDecember 7, 2013Everything in the bakery case is amazing but the bacon gruyere scones might take the cake. Oh, and they also make delicious cakes.- Ricki GroskreutzSeptember 5, 2016Sampled three desserts among our group, thoroughly enjoyed them, leaving us wanting more.
Chase MaxwellOctober 22, 2015Decent espresso, but their iced lattes are watery. I feel like it's a bit pricier than other coffeeshops as well. I come here more for the lovely ambiance.
City PagesOctober 28, 2014Coffee Shop Turned Restaurant leads the farm to table trend. Stop in November 7th for a family style thanksgiving before thanksgiving meal. Read more
The churizo taco and beer for $5 is the perfect way to end your day. Or week. Or meeting.- Quinn MAugust 29, 2014Get the gruyere and bacon scone it is absolutely FANTASTIC! The veggie burger is really good too!
- Gluten Free Muffin of the day is always amazing - you'd never know that it's GF.
- Best coffee shop baked goods around. Just had the chocolate cherry scone and it was amazing!
Just get the biscuits and gravy. The biscuit in question contains bacon and gruyere. Stunning!- What a great tool to use to find customers after you've made their meal/drink. #GoodThinking
Christopher LongNovember 3, 2013Brief menu. Not much cleaning of tables. Absurdly small water glasses. Long-ish wait for food. Kinda spendy considering there's no table service. Both items from brunch menu very, very tasty.
- Biscuits and Gravy with rosemary… yet another delicious hit at Groundswell!
- Go to Groundswell Coffee, get an amazing cold press and a brownie.
