    Great local coffee shop. Open space, inviting. Coffee and tea menu along with a light breakfast and lunch menu. I grabbed the yogurt and a latte and it made for a nice breakfast. Comfy seating. Great service. Street parking. Please come and create your one adventure.

    Love the fall entryway

    It's so lovely here. All the good vibes. Come here a lot on weekends, but get here early because it gets crowded. I love the little alcoves with chairs. I like coming with my spouse to chat and plan stuff out.

    Family Grounds is definitely one of my favorite coffee/cafes around. It is totally worth the drive from Cary for a nice Saturday brunch/lunch. They have great coffee & yummy food & excellent smoothies too! There is a lot of seating & has a fresh vibe in the downtown Sanford area. Service is top notch with all the southern hospitality & kindness. I'm looking forward to my next visit!! You won't be disappointed here.

    This is a great small coffee shop that really knows how to bring the crowds. From the coffee to the seating and everything in between; it has it all. They have a variety of all coffees and flavors. The staff are super friendly and helpful when it comes to deciding flavors. They had a delicious raspberry White Chocolate special for Valentine's day that hit the spot. The cranberry orange muffin was also to die for. The seating is vast. Couches, chairs, love seats... Something for everyone. They even have puzzles and a free library so you can stay for a while or get something to go. I'm a big fan and will stop in regularly when in town.

    Perfect location, beautifully designed and decorated, and the most friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff! The fresh ground coffee and warm, house made muffins were delicious. Definitely a must try!

    Brown sugar cinnamon latte

    What a lovely place to enjoy a great cup of coffee or a chai tea. We went here on our visit to Sanford and really enjoyed the old vibe of the building. I ordered a brown sugar cinnamon latte and it was delicious. Two people ordered cold brew and two ordered lattes. The area is big with plenty of space to work. We chatted by the hearth and felt very relaxed. The coffees were handed to us with smiles on the people's faces--that's always a plus.

    Love the feel of this coffee shop! My cappuccino was very well made. There's lots of places to sit and study. And they sell fresh food too so that's a bonus! Great addition to the quaint downtown area. Lavender syrup flavor is shwae!!

    This place is amazing! Customer service is above and beyond. Very warm and welcoming environment with cozy holiday decor and plenty of seating. Staff are welcoming and always up to help customers. The coffee is AMAZING; they really know what they're doing behind the bar! Food is top notch! Chick salad is 10/10. The Grove Salad is phenomenal and comes with a delicious homemade dressing. Cannot recommend this place enough! A must have in my book.

    My love and I enjoying a Breve, espresso with steamed half and half. We add a packed of raw sugar for our taste. Yummy!

    The breakfast avocado toast on gluten free bagel was excellent. Of course, the latte that I ordered was perfect!

    I'm a loyal Dunkin' fan and stop by every day for my usual. Today, I happened to be traveling to…read moreSanford to pick up a great find from Facebook Marketplace and decided to stop at the Dunkin' on S Horner Blvd. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Although the drive-thru line was long, it moved quickly, so I was hopeful. When I got to the speaker, I politely ordered my usual drink with a modification of light ice, as I always do. But this time, I was told by a male worker that they wouldn't fill up my drink if I requested light ice. I was surprised because as a barista myself, I've never heard of this. I would've understood if this was a bar where they can't add more alcohol just because you said "light ice" but literally it's just a refresher. Not to mention, I've been to countless Dunkins all over the country, and I've never heard of this policy before, the usually accept my light ice request (which is a button on their register btw) and fill my drink up with more liquid. It seemed like the male worker was being coached by another employee over the headset, and he just repeated what he was told. I get that every location might have its own rules, but this just wasn't the friendly service or experience I'm used to. Interestingly, after this stop, I drove another 30 minutes to a different Dunkin' where they had no problem accommodating my usual light ice request. This really highlighted how off this particular location's service felt. Seems corny that they would rather prepare a whole drink that I never received than to fill the drink up with partially more fluid. Based off the reviews seems like a lot of customers shared similar experiences with me, what a unique way to run a business.

    The bacon taste like soap. The bread was so small and…read morefrail. The egg was pretty good though. And the workers are very kind!
