Great coffee, super friendly team, and now they're opening a storefront just down the road. If you've traveled on 441 in Mount Dora, you've noticed this lovely blue and white truck parked in a vacant lot and wondered what that line was all about. It's for some of the best coffee in Lake County. My personal favorite is the Oregon Cheesecake, but you really can't go wrong here. They offer punch cards for patrons which you'll blow through to score a free cuppa. Most impressive is how lovely this team is. Very friendly and ready to offer suggestions if you're not sure what to get. Seasonal brews are also available and I could not recommend Ground Up more if I tried. Good luck on the new storefront and thank you for your service (Ground Up is veteran-owned) and the delicious coffee!

Hubby picked up donuts on Saturday morning. By the time we…read moreusually get to their location, they are either sold out already or only have a few options left. This time, he got there a little earlier and was able to pick the ones we really wanted. By latest 11am, they are usually gone (it's a food truck). Super yummy fresh donuts. I loved the one with cinnamon sugar and the kids loved the sprinkle and fruity pebbles ones. My husband said service was great also. We will be back. I really want to try the red velvet cake one in the future.

A friend of mine told me about this place a while back, but I never thought it would really be…read moreworth a hour and a half drive just for donuts. I thought, "it's a food truck... I'll just wait for them to come to me." Well... I finally caved and got tired of waiting. First off, I'm not a morning person... so the whole "donuts and coffee" at 8am isn't my thing. I was not too thrilled about having to wake up at 6am just to be able to get to try the flavors I wanted before they were all sold out. (FYI: You can order ahead online, but that option can sell out fast too) Also, I'll take a bad yeast donut over a good cake donut any day. Those extravagant Voodoo doughnuts over at Universal are no match for a plain old Krispy Kreme donut straight off the conveyer belt in my humble opinion. This food truck is all cake donuts, so I was a bit skeptical. I'm happy to say, these donuts are insanely good. There were 22 flavors available, and we ordered them all. The most popular, "frosted crack" and "maple bacon", were definitely 2 of my favorites. Simple flavors, yet so delicious. The "French Toast" and the "Cookie Butter" were also high up on my list of must-tries. Even something as conventional as the "chocolate with sprinkles" was friggin amazing. I'm pretty sure it all had to do with the fact that none of these felt like the typical cake donut you would find at Dunkin Donuts. They were way more light and airy than usual. It was almost a mix between a yeast donut and a cake donut, and they were tremendous. It also might have to do with the fact that they were all just freshly made. That also makes a huge difference. What I like about this place is that they don't go overboard with toppings. They just let the flavors do the talking. They don't just throw crushed-up snickers bars, skittles, and whole Oreos on top for the hell of it. They keep it more traditional, and I like that. Makes them way easier to eat as well. The people in the truck themselves are very friendly. The guy that helped us seemed really proud of his product, as he should be. They even have complimentary Starbucks coffee for people as they waited. With a long line at 8 in the morning, it was very much appreciated. Overall, this small and unassuming food truck in the middle of a dirt lot in Mt. Dora ended up having some of the best donuts I've ever tried. Tons of flavors, yet a simplistic theme runs through all of them... flavor. Every bite feels like it's worth the carbs, and I love that. They look great, and taste even better. My only negative about this place is that it's not closer... but that's just me being selfish.
