Cappuccino with coconut milk is impossible to drink bitter, it became a little better, but not much. Americano is okay. There is no toilet. The interior is very simple, there are not many tables, baked goods do not cause a desire to eat it. I wouldn't come here again. The service was fast and redone without questions.

Stopped by today, great coffee! Service was good, parking was a problem though. Not their fault. Love the drinks and will be back soon I'm sure.

Awesome coffee house! Tasty espresso drinks. My wife says there's no funky taint to their decaf espresso that you sometimes experience at places. Delicious cookies by Cookie Lab OC. Attentive staff. Cyclist friendly with a clean restroom and the crew is happy to fill water bottles. It's my new mid-ride stop on PCH rides!

Do not get coffee to go the lids do not fit their cups and coffee leaks everywhere. I have called and let them know but they still are using same lids. Means coffee leaking in your car, all over your clothes!!

Cute spot on the corner of pch and poinsettia. Lots of street parking nearby. Pretty standard coffee menu, and a signature matcha latte with strawberry cream foam. Great service and tasty coffees!

Grounded is a fun name because I was jumping for joy after leaving this jawn. The service was great! My barista was kind, courteous, and patient. This was my first time visiting so I appreciated it. My Americano was perfectly iced and strong. The Iced Vanilla Latte with oat milk was creamy and lite. DON'T GET ME STARTED on the bakery side. The blueberry orange scone was scrumptious. Great size!My barista offered to warm it up and it was perfect. Crunchy on the outside with the little bits of salt that contrast the overall sweetness. The inside was soft and warm. There were bits of blueberry that added some moxie. Ya boy is a chocolate chip connoisseur and this was one of the better ones I've had in OC. It was also a great size. Good enough to share or splurge by yourself. It had such a nice texture on the outside and HELLA chocolate chips on the inside. CHOICE!! Mos Def would recommend and will be back!

I ordered my usual, an oatmilk latte, and it was great! Friendly staff and cute atmosphere! I loved the Valentine's Day decor

Unbelievable - I was just charged 50cents because I wanted light ice. The iced latte was already overpriced and nothing special. (a small blueberry muffin and my large iced latte was $16) It's only 50cents but...... Never going back. Wanted to work on my computer. There was only one plug. Place was sort of dirty too with crumbs on all the tables and floor. Wasn't too busy, plenty of time wipe down and sweep.

I had the worst cappuccino I've yet to taste at this coffee shop yesterday. Somehow, I knew it was not going to be made with love as I was ordering it. The girl who took my order did not seem happy at all. I was trying to be extra nice to maybe help boost her mood a bit but failed horribly. I understand that sometimes people are having a bad day or a bad moment. But when you're spending $8 on a small cappuccino with a tip, it'd be nice if it were at least drinkable.
Had the breakfast burrito and the Matcha sweetened with vanilla -- matcha was very good the burrito was a bit bland but came with sauces to complement it. Service was good -- everyone complaining about the wait has clearly never worked a service job. Despite the large influx of orders my drink was ready in a fair amount of time , was hot, and tasted great. Overall cool spot.

In terms of studying or doing work, this place is just alright. There aren't many seats and they are all uncomfortable, and I only found one table near an outlet. The wifi was good though. There are also a couple cute tables outside for nice days. The coffee was decent, not amazing but definitely got the job done. They don't have parking, but I was able to easily find nearby street parking. Overall, a decent stop but in terms of working or studying, you might be better off at the library nearby or somewhere else.

I usually get a coffee from a place nearby but I was running out of time and there was a big line so I decided to give this coffee shop a shot since they are always empty. Now I know why they are empty. Overpriced poor quality coffee with rude service.

Misleading costumers! Their almond milk is NOT unsweetened although they claim otherwise - which can be very harmful for people with diabetes. They use Califa Blend Barista (the red box, not the unsweetened green box). For anyone health conscious this is not the place , Califa almond milks are not healthy either way.

Good local coffee shop with solid coffee and pastry options, along with great service. Always have a large iced vanilla latte that is huge and a bacon cheddar scone! Some good spots to sit down on the inside, love the America flag that is hung and there is a few seats/tables outside.
