I loved my visit to Family Grounds. I came in around noon for my lunch break, it was moderately busy, a little noisy, but no problem at all! I ordered the dirty chai latte with whole milk. Amazing. Perfect chai, strong espresso. I grabbed the avocado bagel toast as well, this was a full airy style bagel with a schmear of guacamole-like avocado and everything bagel seasoning. Very good as well. Next visit I'll try the coffee and another food item. Ambiance was nice, they have patio seating, a few tables, a few couches and cushioned chairs to enjoy your time. They have an area for kids to play which gives you parents a chance to relax. So far, my favorite place in Sanford. It's a must try if you are passing through. read more

Family Grounds Coffee - Avocado Bagel toast! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sanford, North Carolina

We were visiting Sanford and stopped in this cafe that could gave easily been in a downtown metro area. They don't just sell coffee, they also promote knowledge about coffee with frames that decorate the walls. The atmosphere was pleasant but not appropriate if you're trying to have a quiet conversation. Be prepared for the barista to yell your name when your order is ready. She doesn't need a blowhorn! We enjoyed our dairy free iced chai and iced mocha. A major highlight, is that they offer gluten free menu items. My son was able to enjoy a gf bagel sandwich. That's a big plus for this establishment. Surprisingly, they also have a playroom with some toys that is open for young children while you sit and talk over your meal. Nice perk! read more

Fantastic coffee and great vibe, atmosphere. I went every morning I was in Sanford. I knew there had to be a good coffee shop nearby and went looking. This place was busy which is a good sign and their coffee's were all great. I usually like dark, strong coffee, but tried the one from Peru and really enjoyed the flavor. Thanks to the whole crew for making my week on the road much more enjoyable. Looking forward to visiting the area again soon. read more

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. read more

Cute and Inviting Coffee Shop. Love the atmosphere. The coffee was perfect and my chicken salad sandwich was delicious

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. read more

Family Grounds Coffee - Brown sugar cinnamon latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sanford, North Carolina

Being from MPLS there is no shortage of coffee shops. Having moved here last year I've been missing the vibe and this place was recommended to me. I love the interior. It's huge where you can space out and there are plenty of different spots to sit. You can get cozy in a lounge chair, sit at a table or even on the couch. Love it. I've had the chai tea the 2 times I've been here and it's been really good. The bagels are fresh and such a nice addition to coffee/drinks. This is the place to go if you are needing to catch up with a friend. Yes I've stayed for hours just gabbing! read more

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!! read more

Great family atmosphere along with excellent coffee and muffins! Love their music too!

This was my first time trying this coffee house. I asked the barista for his recommendation. He recommended the breve with brown sugar and caramel. I also got the cinnamon raisin bagel with cinnamon brown sugar cream cheese. I barely had sat down before they called my name, my order was ready. The coffee was rich, and creamy and full of flavor. The bagel was also good, as well as the cream cheese. I believe I could've eaten the cream cheese bad self. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Was welcoming very friendly. There are many seating options, with plug-ins for your electronic devices. read more

Family Grounds is one of our go to spots for great coffee, tea, or a smoothie. Also great environment for small gatherings to converse and catch up with friends. The service is what I consider thoughtful. Their concern is that the customer receives a quality product even if it takes a bit of time. I typically order a hot Earl Grey Tea. The step time is 4 minutes so if there's orders before mine, well it makes sense that I need to have a seat and relax before being served. I get it. And I'd rather have a great product over a rush job where my beverage is lack luster in order to be another fast serve place. I appreciate their heart and they always have a kind word for folks. Highly recommend and of course I'm a loyal repeat customer. read more

They've expanded their food and drink menu. And are continually adding to it. I love what they serve, and I'm not the only one. Sometimes it's so crowded the line goes to the door.

What an amazing coffeeshop. This was a great find on a Saturday afternoon visiting Sanford. Their coffee beans are supreme and are rotated shortly harvest to maintain freshness. They get bagels overnight from NYC, and the options are really good. There are also a number of gluten free options of pastries. The ambiance of the coffee shop is really inviting and relaxing. There are books to read and a number of comfortable chairs to relax in. Lastly, the owners are very friendly and informative and great company to be in. read more

Such a lovely morning cortado at Family Grounds! The coffee is rich and still medium in flavor with no bitterness. The building has a wonderful vibe and offers several sitting alcoves for a more private experience. The owner gave a wonderful explanation of his vision for the business and the source of his beans; something my foodie husband and I loved! If you're in Sanford, stop in and experience this jewel of a coffee shop! read more

Not the type to leave a review whether good or bad but I stopped in today for the first time and was SO impressed by the place! It's spacious and open with a beautiful aesthetic. Aside from the overall welcoming environment I wanted to say that I was immediately helped by a lovely girl named Nina and was also so impressed with her kindness and sweet soul! She was my barista and made me one of the best iced lavender lattes I've ever had in Sanford, thanks to her kindness I can't wait to come back for lunch! 10/10 would recommend for family, friends or studying! So glad Sanford has this place now. From a former barista for over 7 years I am definitely pleased with my experience! read more

Conveniently located in downtown Sanford. Spacious and cozy with a small fireplace and plenty of comfortable seats for small and large groups. Perfect for a social or business meet-up. Coffee was excellent (I got a cortado). Bagel rivaled any NY bagel, chewy soft and well sized. (I got the Apple/cinnamon toasted with butter). read more

A fantastic coffee shop in small town North Carolina. What a gem. I asked for a cappuccino, small. They said "it only comes in one size". YES! Cappuccinos only come in one size. This is a coffee shop that actually understands and respects coffee. Wonderful staff, who are engaging and have fun personality. Also, for breakfast I've had the sandwich and the breakfast wrap. Both are good, but the wrap is my favourite. Exactly what you need to get your day going. Lots of seating for working, and the clientele are smiling and happy. I loved every minute of this experience. read more

Ambiance was cool, but despite not being busy, it took 28 minutes from the time I ordered to receive a dirty chai latte & bagel. For $6.50, I did not expect to receive a drink that tasted like boiled water from an unclean pot. Great potential, but please teach the baristas how to make proper drinks! read more
