Great spot near campus for some good coffee and a place to study. Milk and Honey Latte wins for me 10/10! Spinach and feta pie is also a must try! They also have a printer in the cafe if you need to print anything out.

Today ordered vanilla hot latte with oat milk and two raspberry croissants. Everything is just delicious! Warm and freshly baked croissants and perfect temperature latte just made my morning. Usually I don't like oat milk drinks (I feel the weird taste) but ground up coffee knows how to make a perfect latte. Thank you guys for being awesome! You never disappoint.

This cafe is so lovely and welcoming. There are tables to study and a calming atmosphere. We ordered the iced matcha latte, the golden chai latte, and the cortado. The matcha was the perfect level of sweetness and was so smooth. One of the best matcha lattes I have ever tried. I highly recommend ordering it. The golden chai latte had tumeric, which I don't usually see in a drink, but here it really works. It was very refreshing. The cortado we ordered was delicious as well. I loved everything we ordered here. This cafe is now one of my favorites and it is very close to campus too.

I love the vibe of the cafe! The drinks are super good :) I got the Stawbana matcha twice during the time I was here. Their spinach and feta pie is amazingly delicious and the workers there were very friendly 💖 I stayed here with my friends to junk journal, study, and catch up.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with seriously good coffee and pastries, Ground Up Cafe is a gem. The cappuccino freddo is easily one of the best I’ve had—perfectly smooth, refreshing, and beautifully balanced with that rich espresso flavor and creamy foam. It’s the kind of drink you keep thinking about long after you leave. The spinakopita pastry was another standout—flaky, warm, and packed with savory spinach and feta. It tasted fresh and homemade, and paired incredibly well with the coffee. Honorable mention goes to the blueberry muffin—moist, not overly sweet, and loaded with blueberries. A great choice if you want something classic with your coffee. Overall, Ground Up Cafe nails both the coffee and the pastries. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area. ☕🥐
