chicken quesadilla
Amenda K.

Grounds & Gold is probably one of my favorite coffee shops in Arlington. I like how it's close to the hospitals, so a great place to grab a bite in between or after work. There's plenty of seating, but it can still get very packed (especially during the afternoon rush). I like to study here, but it can get loud, so I'd recommend some noise cancelling ear/headphones. Overall great ambiance. I got the chicken quesadilla, which was incredibly delicious. Have also tried their biscuits, which I love that you can customize. I don't have a picture, but they have interesting/different kinds of desserts that I feel like are unique to this coffee shop. I'd love to try them in the future. As for parking, there's plenty of lot parking.

Hot cocoa and gluten free items are yummy
Katharine W.

Best place for gluten free items you can't find anywhere else; They have loaves and biscuits, very tasty. Bacon is delicious. Always crowded, but worth the wait.

Wedge salad & Micah on sourdough
Asma S.

I am so happy to have discovered this spot and just wish it didn't take me so long! They have tons of seating, beautiful natural light, the best service, a wide menu that accommodates breakfast lunch and dinner at respective times, and delicious drinks and food. I love the half salad/half sandwich combos and all the other ways to try more than one thing per meal. I love that I can get any latte decaf and can make swaps for bread or anything else I prefer with ease and even recommendations from staff at times. Love coming here!

Iced sugar free caramel latte
Nicole S.

Great place! Visited here for the first time, I will be back! This place is popular, I went around lunchtime but luckily I found a place to sit as someone had just left. Plenty of seat with a variety of options: tables, comfy chairs, high seating, etc. I sat in the middle area, one thing I will say is the tables are pretty close together. My only thing for docking one star. Even pushing one of the chairs fully back in I had to walk around the table to get to the trash to throw it away. And also it can get loud being right close to others that are seated. Simply an observation. Had an iced sugar free caramel latte & it was pretty good. They have several food options as well, I didn't try any this time but my friend went & had some treats that were delicious. Clean place, fair prices, great staff, good vibes with nice decor. We were there for about three hours, they remained busy & rightfully so! I'd recommend going here!

New fave spot. Best food and I legit stayed all day and lost track of time but got so much done because I could eat have a hot drink right in front the fireplace. Amazing

Pancakes... Chef's Kiss
Rudy L.

But today was feeling adventurous. Breakfast tacos also slap! Build your own biscuits a go to as well! Place is awesome, friendly environment, great place to go and read and chill! Staff is always friendly, good attitudes generally. Recommend fasho!

Avocado Toast

I've had mixed emotions about this place for a long time. If I really wanted to I could give a long review about this place. But I'm just going to leave a shorter one. Grounds and Golds mission and purpose is beautiful. That might be my favorite thing about the coffee shop. As for the ambiance, food, and service it's all ok. But I still find it a great spot for some coffee. I would definitely recommend coming in the fall!

Food was tasty coffee was great. The only thing I would change is have waiter should deliver coffee and food at the same time instead of having food delivered and us having to wait for our name to yelled at to go pick up coffee. I heard my name being yelled George! 2 times I didn't know they were calling for me. I got up and ran to get my coffee. If the yelling stops this place would be more peaceful. I still give it 4 stars.

fireplace !!
Wesleyann L.

first time being in the area, found this gem in southern arlington! when i tell you the ambiance is a stunning lull... i have no other way to describe the peace here. i did show up on a random tuesday at 6pm though so who knows what it's like on a weekend i arrived and there's plenty of seating scattered in a way that isn't cramped, and even has a raised area that is lit vv well. soooo i ordered an iced wedding cake latte with coconut milk! it has a blackberry foam at is absolute fire and accurate asf. I saw the breakfast menu and wanted to order the shelby bagel, but unfortunately they actually stop serving breakfast at 5pm... so not all day BUT dude i ordered the micah sandwich and it was SO GOOD! their menu has many options, so when i hit the roadblock on the bagel, the staff guided me to the other options very well! TLDR: get the wedding cake w coconut milk, get a sammy and sit by the fire yall. beautiful peaceful spot!!

Great day for a picture prefect latte.
Judith L.

Great day to enjoy a picture prefect latte at Grounds and Gold! You will always feel welcomed by the wonderful staff!

Italian Wedding Soup
Elaine M.

Absolutely love this coffee shop. The vibe, ambiance, food, and drinks. Wow it has it all. I got an Italian soup and veggie sandwich. Yum! Then slowly sipped my chai latte. Great place to plug in and work on your laptop for a little bit.

If you're a coffee lover, Grounds and Gold is a must-visit! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The baristas are incredibly skilled and passionate, making every cup feel like a masterpiece. Their menu is thoughtfully curated, with a perfect blend of classics and unique, innovative drinks. I tried their Dulce de Leche, and it was absolutely divine--smooth, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. They also offer alternative milks and cater to dietary preferences, which is a huge plus. The ambiance is cozy yet modern, making it a great spot for catching up with friends or diving into some work with your laptop. Bonus: Their pastries and snacks are just as impressive as their coffee! If you appreciate high-quality coffee and exceptional service, don't miss out on Grounds and Gold. It's a little gem that I'll definitely be revisiting soon! Also I didn't get a shot of my drink so here is a picture but this is a picture of my daughter's Micah Mocha, it was also fantastic!

Usually I love this place but today they would not take my American money. I had 50c pieces. They said they would not fit in their machines. That really bothered me.

It's in an old part of Arlington, the building itself fits right in with the area. That's not a bad thing, but don't expect some clean cut, smooth concreted parking lot with fancy equipment inside. They do well for being in an older part of town. Conchas, we enjoyed them! My favorite was whatever this strawberry roll cake was, soft & fluffy. They have a lot of options, I only wish they would label the pastries. There were some empanadas but we couldn't tell what was what & didn't want to be one of those people that cracked one open, because trust me, someone did on one of the trays. They have a refrigerated section, we'll probably try the flan next time too. The cakes are gorgeous, I can't comment on the taste... no need to get one for just the two of us. Prices are very good, yes, they take cash only. I saw someone said they take Zelle but I didn't look. I'm not mad about it though, it's a small business... they'd get charged for credit card usage. I don't know if everyone understands that & if cash only works for them & they continue to do well... I'll keep bringing cash! Very sweet employees! Go here, grab a snack to enjoy. Also, there's not really a place where you can sit & chat for hours with friends but give them a try for some yummy treats!

This place was incredible! I kept meaning to stop by and just hadn't, so glad I finally did…read more Overwhelming amounts of pastry to choose from, also CASH and ZELLE only which I did not know until I got there. My husband got 2 pastries that he said were really good and I got a tree leche cup for $3 that weighed over a pound! Such great prices. We only spent $5! Will definitely be revisiting.

There was a bit of a line but it went reasonably quickly. Upon entry, you grab a tray and tongs, then make your way down the line of self-serve enclosed glass cases with shelves of fresh good. We chose a savory breakfast sandwich, an Almond Croissant and another sweet pastry. In line, the offered to heat our sandwich which we allowed. Then we ordered coffees, paid and sat down. A few minutes later, we walked back up to collect our coffees. The breakfast sandwich was tasty, though the ham and cheese in the center of the sandwich was untouched by the heating process. Next time, we'll ask for a longer heating cycle. The pastries were good. Not as good as made that morning in Paris, but better than most places we've been in the US. We also took some dessert pastries home for later that same night. My wife's was sort of ho-hum but mine was fabulous. I had what I guess would be a cro-nut?? Sort of like a doughnut that was made in layers of pastry, then cut out with a donut cutter. It had a filling in the center and had a sugary coating. SO GOOD! We'll be back to Paris Baguette and we'll try other items and for sure, we'll ask for our heated items to be heated a bit longer.
