What an amazing coffee shop in the area! My husband and I are visiting my family over the weekend and we were up earlier than anyone else. My husband loves a strong cup of coffee and I didn't want us to drive too far to grab some. I found Highly Ground and read amazing reviews, checked the menu and knew this is the spot. It was a 10 min drive from us and around 8 am easy street parking. We spoke with Brian who is such a delight! Great energy as soon as we walked in. My husband get the Nitro Cold Brew (I think it's 20 hours, I don't recall ) and I got the Suavemente. Omg our drinks did not disappoint!! We each also got chocolate chip scones which were delicious. I Highly recommend checking out Highly Grounded if you haven't yet. They know how to Brew delicious coffee!!

Great little place to pop into for some good coffee! Coffee was super fresh and the place was extremely clean. Lots of options of pastries too. Danny, the barista was super friendly and knowledgable. As someone who can only drink decaf, they had an amazing blend. Place was also very clean!

What a great local spot for excellent coffee and espresso based drinks! My cappuccino was excellent and my husband really enjoyed his coffee. This was a sorely needed spot for those looking for coffee that isn't burnt, watered down or chain owned like the other local options. They also have some pastries which I didn't try but looked delicious! The space is tiny but hopefully they add some outdoor seating, when the weather allows, for a chance to relax with a quality cup of caffeine. Welcome to the neighborhood Highly Grounded Café! Update: they have added outdoor seating. They honestly serve the best cappuccinos and americanos!

Great Coffee shop with amazing coffee beans and many different flavors to choose from. Pastries are BOMB ⭐ and many different seasonal drinks to choose from, the place is small but what they lack in size, their efficiency makes up in quality.

I came here to turn on the café owner’s solar system today, and found the ingredients to be natural, smooth, and savory: the kind of spices you can smell were freshly ground (hence the name) and are of nice quality, and the type of whipped cream that is artfully done and crisp. Thank you, Dave, for the cappucino’s on the house, and for the fine hospitality. This café is green in all respects, folks.
