The Grounds Bean Bar

I want to preface by saying that this is a one-off experience as I’m not writing as a local and thus this review can be biased, but consider this a “first impression” review. It was a short walk from where my friends and I were staying nearby. The aesthetics are very apparent in the photos - that was one of the best parts of the shop. The service was okay; we were ordering five drinks and getting food items as well, but when asking questions of the menu (as I said we are from out of town and thus it was our first time at this particular shop, although all of us are avid coffee drinkers), it started to feel as though we were becoming an inconvenience to the baristas. The responses were a bit stale, but that’s okay - like I said, this is a one-off experience and thus I do wish to give the baristas the benefit of the doubt! Other than the aesthetics/ decor, I loved that the shop seemed to be dog-friendly. It seems a great stop for those walking their dogs or just strolling by who want to stop in and get a cup of coffee or a pastry. The coffee was pretty good as well, no complaints! If I was in the area, I’d consider stopping in again.
