Higher Grounds Coffee

I am diverting from the standard 4 and 5 star reviews I've read. Evidentially their experiences were different from mine. It does most definitely have that home town customer loyalty. I have to wonder if that is due to lack of real competition. I have been in the store twice and disappointed twice. The cashier seemed agitated that I did not know their menu which could have been handled better by pointing out items of most appeal to their customers. Today I was there with another friend. I got oatmeal and a cup of tea, she got the quiche and a cup of coffee. Both the tea and coffee were plain brands and nothing fancy. The bill was over $20. Outrageous. Had the food been good it would have been nearly worth it. However, my oatmeal had a texture like it had been sitting in a pan all morning then served up even though I was assured it was made to order. My companion's quiche was very flat. It looked more like pizza than quiche. The fruit bowl that came with it was very good though. I would say, go there if you just want coffee or tea. Got to a local restaurant for food. I believe in supporting local businesses. In response to my support I expect quality and fair pricing.

I love this coffee shop and there pumpkin walnut scone is my favorite spoil me treat. I only wish they were open a little longer. The weekends are the only times I can get there unfortunately.

Local Hometown Brew better than the place with Star in their name. Why would you buy from national franchise when we have our own local people that do a better job and brew a better cup of coffee

Favorite coffee shop. Delicious drinks. A few gluten free (not guaranteed free off trace amounts) options. Best frappes.

Cozy atmosphere with a fireplace and quiet study room. Friendly staff. They have an amazing selection of drinks that changes with the season, but you can also get a delicious cup of coffee that is locally and recently roasted.
