Located next to Grounded Coffee in New Lenox, Grounded Books opened about 2 months ago! The inside…read moreis well organized by book categories and has something for all ages. They have a large group seating area in the back as well as three semi-private reading nooks to enjoy. The inside is designed to be consistent with the coffee shop in having a cozy, eclectic yet industrial feel. Be sure to check out their website as they often host events for meeting authors, book club hang outs, kids readings, and more.

A big and impressive coffee house/bookstore there's nothing really to complain about here except…read morethat there is not too many people working and it can get crowded and busy at times this place also appears to be gender exclusive it's not the only people I saw were females so I'm not sure what's going on in here over there's much to choose from in drinks and overall the place is very clean spacious has unique furniture style and hang out areas

I can't talk about the physical business, or the space, as we ordered via a food delivery service…read more I will say, this is some fantastic coffee! Strong and subtly sweet, this coffee is wildly good. They have a bunch of milk alternatives, along with many popular flavoring offerings to choose from. I went with an iced latte and added some lavender syrup. Their lavender syrup was divine. It was sweet, floral, and slightly earthy. It didn't taste artificial, which is a relief. I also got some of their pastries. Specifically the Pan De Bono Bocadillo and the Pastel Dulce. Starting with the Pan De Bono Bocadillo, I was excited to try this. The pros, love the guava filling. It's bright, acidic and subtly sweet. The dough though, it was fine. It is very buttery, but tough. My eyes were not rolling in the back of my head, which is what I like my pastries to do. Next was the Pastel Dulce. The filling, so sweet, a touch of salt. Very decedant. Where the pastry itself was a little on the dry side. Still flaky though. Maybe the pastries would be better if I got them in store, instead of sitting in a car being delivered. Overall, great coffee shop. Glad to see more cultural variety in our food scene out here.

There's some worth getting and others that aren't among these. It seems like it's pretty basic. Lots of teas and protein shakes to choose from. Teas are the better ones to get in my opinion. Much cheaper compared to the protein shakes that are mostly just powder mixed with ice. The prices for these are still kind of high though. It's $4.50 for a small one. They also have a few snacks like the protein cake pops. It's $3.50 each. These make good presents for a health nut friend in need of a treat or something more interesting to munch on. Basic health supplement and health themed place and they try to get you to become a member. It makes the protein shakes from a powder. The cake pops are also made from this.

Less good: "mixed greens" are mostly iceberg lettuce, which is tasteless and worthless. Napa cabbage would be a better choice for those of us avoiding carbohydrates. There were no other options so I asked for as little iceberg as possible and he sort of tried, but grudgingly. First visit, counter dudes were super friendly and helpful. Last time, not friendly at all, no greeting, no thank you. Was going to sit & eat some because I was hungry but I didn't feel welcome so I went home. If there's a next time, I'll just get to go but I'm not sure there will be a next time. I do love poke though....

Owners do not make you feel welcomed...happened twice now…read more I apologized to my wife after recommending this place as she quickly realized the food is great, but the exceedingly poor attitude of the Owner(s) was simply too difficult to swallow. Body language of the two Owners speak louder than words... This evening I walked in there alone at 8:35 PM and they were not happy, as one of them was mopping the floor while the other was putting trays away. They close at 9 PM. The air was thick with tension, as if I was a huge bother. Simply a terrible experience for the customer. And just like multiple times before, I needed to repeat my order two or three times when ordering just two Poke dishes, as the memory of the highly depressed individual working there is beyond poor. He apparently does not believe in quality service or that we are worthy of anything better. If you are not happy in your work, please do us a favor and find happiness doing something else. You are not the only Poke place in the area.
