Such a great experience grabbing some to-go bites from here! Vibe: Petite cafe, limited seating, counter service Service: Excellent, service was fast and pleasant. The woman who took my order offered me a sample of a sweet Brazilian bite (I picked the salted caramel) which was truly DECADENT. She also offered for me to sample the coffee I ordered since it was on tap. Food: Eggcelent breakfast sandwich - honestly lives up to the name, I opted for the English muffin and did add on chipotle mayo and swap the cheese from pepper jack to cheddar. Was absolutely scrumptious. Perfectly hit the spot. 10/10 would recommend. Choco coco loco acai bowl - a solid Acai bowl, plenty of toppings, well balanced, would recommend. Traditional cheese bites - these are just heavenly balls of fluffy cheesy dough, you will absolutely not regret ordering these Value: On par with inflation while serving great quality food. Other: Street parking nearby is limited but worth a short walk. Overall thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience ordering from Grounder Cafe. Their menu has a lot of interesting stuff you don't find at other cafes, it's definitely worth checking out! read more

Just got a small latte with oat milk iced and it was okay! I got something simple and haven't tried any of their food options but will probably try soon! It wasn't too busy when we went on a Friday to do remote work and the table we sat at also had an outlet which was nice. read more

I used to love this place. However they've gone up on the prices and I get less food. I asked for 2 scrambled eggs and I got one. The bacon amount is smaller and they put the toast all in the same container and it's soggy. I had to order another meal b/c I was still hungry. The ladies at the counter aren't friendly either. read more

Excellent service with every visit. The environment is clean and orderly. It feels like home away from home. Great way to start your day !

I love the breakfast food but, sadly the home fries annoy me. They do not come with onions. I paid Extra for Onions and got the smallest few bits. For $1.50..I would think I could see them...barely any. This time I ordered Home fries as Is. Plain. And they do not come with onions. So I have to pay $1.50... for not even a half tea spoon of onions. Gerrrr. Other than that I like the breakfast. read more

Great coffee, their breakfast panini's are fantastic. The service is always with a smile. It's a cute little local coffee shop that I would recommend to everyone read more

Popped into Grounder Cafe while visiting Tufts. Saw the great Yelp reviews and it sounded like a perfect place for great coffee and a quick delicious breakfast. It did not disappoint! Loved the espresso, latte, iced coffee and their acai bowls. Great service, good pricing and delicious food. 5-stars! read more

Grounder Cafe - Great menu - excellent espresso drinks and smoothies and açaí bowls. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

Ordered through Grubhub today and the Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich was absolutely delicious! I love the 'Good Morning' notes on the bag & items as well, it put a smile on my face! Unfortunately, the Cafe Mocha I got was a bit bland & weak, maybe I should have requested an additional shot? Otherwise, I was thrilled with my breakfast, I'll definitely order from Grounder again...but I may stick with the standard coffee next time. read more

Best açaí bowls around. I don't like the pineapple it's not fresh but everything else is really good. I order from here regularly

Really yummy bagel sandwich, good latte, and really pleasant staff! A lot better than Dunkin Donuts for about the same price. Happy to support a local business! read more

We had an amazing experience at this place, the staff was pleasant and fulfilled all our requests. The omelette was awesome and the kids loved the waffle. read more

Grounder Cafe - Crazy monkey with strawberries - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

Flew into Boston from Ca, and I had already done a Google search of local coffee shops and Grounder had the best reviews. I go into the store and was greeted by an awesome employee, Sara! I told her my preferred drink, and she patiently waited while I prattled off a laundry list of what I liked. Then she gave me her suggestion. I went for the Salted Caramel Latte. Let me be clear. I am a coffee snob, and I know good, fresh, smooth ingredients. This drink was sooooooooooooooooooo damn yummy! My God! It was better than my favorite out here in Cali! If you are in Medford, hell if you are in Boston, trust me, this place is worth the drive. Oh, be sure to pick up a pastry too. Sara, you are an incredibly kind human! Thanks for making my experience memorable. read more

Solid little coffee shop. I within walking distance, so I visit often. Great coffee! To drink I always just get a large black coffee, it is a super reasonable 2.85 with tax. First time I thought there was a mistake with the price, this is Boston after all. I enjoy the food. Is it something to rave about, nope. Is it good and priced fine, yes. This place is a great addition to the neighborhood. Need a good coffee and a bite to eat? Go Need to study or get some work done? Perfect spot for that too. Go, caffeinate and enjoy. read more

The food the drinks and the staff that know a little effort and kindness go a long way and change anyones day!!!! I recommend stopping by and hope your experience is as good as mine ! read more

Nice vibe, good food, bit pricey. Breakfast sandwiches $8+, omelette $16+, smoothies $7+

Love this place. Staff are so kind and friendly. I always get the chai and I'm never disappointed. Doesn't have a lot of seating so it can be a little difficult for more than 3 people to chat. Cozy spot though to study or have a coffee date. read more

I ordered from them off door dash. They wrote cute notes on the sandwich boxes, and they wrapped the pickle so it didn't get the sandwich soggy . Packaging was good and the food was delicious! read more

Grounder Cafe - a close up of a plastic container - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

As usual A+ all around, 1 of the best things about ordering from here (besides the amazing food) is how secure the bag is, makes you feel much more comfortable ordering and it's a huge reason I orderly here almost every weekend read more

I've ordered online for pickup a few times now. Food is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend the greek lighting acai bowl. Staff has always been super friendly and pickup has been fast. read more

Ordered for the first time using the Grubhub app. What a treat! Sunday brunch was delicious and we loved the cute little hand written notes on the sandwiches and packaging...from "Good Day" to "Enjoy"! Food was cooked perfectly and arrived warm! Will order again! read more

I have been ordering takeout from Grounder Cafe for the past year and I'm shocked that they don't have five stars! Their smoothies are delicious, their egg, bacon and jack cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant is delightful (I add a little hot sauce), but their açaí bowel is my heroin...it's my breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it's my dessert. It's my EVERYTHING! Add a frozen 1/2 iced tea 1/2 lemonade and I'm walking in clouds... The restaurant employees always personally write a thank you on every delivery bag...they once called when I'd ordered and 30 minutes had elapsed but the delivery driver was AWOL. These are wonderful people... Honestly the best local eatery, hands down! read more

I got a caprese panini and it was one of the worst sandwiches I have ever had... :( It had no flavor and lacked seasoning. And in addition, it was $11. $11 for a sandwich!!!!! Are you joking.... I had such high expectations because of the price. I also got the Chipotle panini and asked for pepper jack and got Kraft cheese that was not melted at all. It was just slapped onto the sandwich. Lastly, I asked for a coffee, which was also outrageously priced, and didn't get it. The only nice thing was that they wrote "Thank you! :)" on the bag which was sweet. But what in the world!!! I had a crappy day and this made it worse. (PS I don't usually write bad reviews because I feel bad for the company but this was just atrocious.) read more

Grounder Cafe - Grilled Chicken Caprese Panini - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

They offer a decent product but none of the staff wear masks. The person making the food, no gloves. For this reason I wouldn't go again.

So happy to find this local cafe is still open inside - and how nice it is in there! A perfect escape for the holidays. The woman at the counter is always charming and helpful. And great coffee treats! read more

For a neighborhood establishment these days, you need to provide outstanding customer service. I come in for my coffee and every time I am never greeted with a hello, smile, a thank you or have a nice day. Why bother going to a neighborhood place to help support small businesses when they cant even do the bare minimum of being pleasant? Ill just go to Dunkins since they provide better coffee and are at least happy to get my business. All small businesses need to step it up since the big corporate companies are gonna eat you up otherwise, especially in Medford with its changing clientele. read more

The people who work here are extremely rude. They talk back to you, they tell you you're the only person who complains Ever and I just can't believe the owner doesn't fire those people and start again it's a horrible, horrible place I wouldn't even give a a store, but you have to in order to have this published. read more

The Bomb! I've gone here a few times and it's a sweet cute Brazilian cafe. I ordered their brownie and coffee. While the coffee isn't fanatic, their brownie is to die for. I've tried their bigger breakfasts as well. You should come by to see it Eat: Breakfast Burrito,Breakfast Sandwiches read more

We went for the seasonal lattes and were disappointed. The salted caramel latte didn't come with whipped cream (like the picture showed) and tasted like there wasn't enough espresso. The tiramisu latte tasted watery. For both lattes, all the flavor was at the bottom! read more

Coffee is amazing! One of the only places the gets espresso right. The service is extremely friendly and very fast.

A perfect find on a rainy morning. Decent coffee and variety of breakfast options-- from waffles to breakfast burritos to acia bowls. I myself got waffles with chocolate chips which were divine-- friend got the oatmeal bowl--also well done. Super affordable and a hidden gem read more

Grounder Cafe - 6" Plain Waffle and coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

Great breakfast! I ordered for my family and everything was so delicious and clean. The panini with deli turkey was fresh and nicely toasted. The omelet Florentine was better than in any hotel or resort. read more

Biiiiig acai fan and have to say their Power Bowl really stands out- top notch!! The chocolate chips never end and the acai stayed frozen and creamy the whole time (not a melty mess). I'd say this is more of a dessert than breakfast option but if you're looking for a treat look no further! So glad to have found this place so close by and can't wait to try more menu items. Pick up was ready when I arrived earlier than estimated and staff was super friendly. read more

Delicious and adorable. We a huge order of takeout for a full house, and they took the time to not only label each container (super helpful) but also add little notes like good morning or thank you and even smiley faces. Great experience will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

God. Awful. Couldn't come to words about this experience, granted it was much more expensive through GrubHub who siphoned every penny out of each item. Wasted money & unfortunately a full stomach. read more

Great acai , panini sandwiches, frozen lemonades, and wraps! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone!

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and run by locals. Hard pressed to find a breakfast sandwich made with a fresh fried egg these days... I hope this place does well! read more

Worst food ordered so far. The food felt like just got removed from the freezer and defrosted on its way. The sandwiches have very low quality ingredients and small portions. Overall, terrible experience. read more
