    Rocky Road Latte: Toasted Marshmallow, Caramel, & Almond
    Abby S.

    My first time trying this place! I ordered something off their Signature Drinks menu, the Rocky Road Latte, and omg it's sooo good! I would prefer it a little creamier/milkier because I like my drinks on the creamier side, but I'm still giving it 5 stars because it still tastes pretty amazing. Also, the barista girls are so sweet, super patient, and were more than willing to help me order. Definitely going to make this my go-to spot!

    Gotta try these viral drinks!

    I saw this coffee shop go viral on tiktok. Thankfully, they have several locations in North seattle. I made the 45 minute track to get to these amazing looking beverages. Surprisingly, there was no line. And I went right before halloween! The baristas we're very courteous, patient, and I did not feel rushed throughout the whole experience. Unfortunately, they were sold out of most food items except cookies so that was a bummer. I ordered a Dracula's Bride latte, which was a coffee based drink with white coffee. I also ordered the Graveyard for my kiddo which is essentially a giant dirt cup. Even though I had to drive the drinks 45 minutes back down, the integrity of the coffee art stayed for the most part. Taste-wise it was yummy. The white coffee just tastes better in lighter drinks in my opinion. They added a really fun touch with a syringe that was filled with extra syrup. Although I won't be back regularly, it is definitely worth it to make the drive for special holidays!

    First time thru this morning and I can't believe I haven't stopped by earlier. This drive thru coffee spot is tucked away on 99 and is such a gem. Their drinks are quirky but delicious and customer service is unreal. The girls working today were unbelievably friendly and gave great recommendations. They were busy so make sure to give yourself time- this isn't a quick Starbucks run. They're making creations in there. Also their breakfast bagel sandwiches are great!

    We love Grounds! They're quite expensive so they're definitely not an everyday haunt, but their drinks are so fun and they're a great treat every once in a while. Baristas are so kind and always go above and beyond.

    Super cute experience with really good coffee. I'd give the drink itself 4 stars, but aesthetics and service 5 stars. They have a ton of yummy flavor options, but their seasonal ghost option is what I really loved. I would definitely come again and I hope they do different things for each season!

    Grand opening in North Seattle, near Shoreline border back on 5/15/23.

    Note: Opened 5/15/23 @ former drive through site that used to be Black Rock, Turtle Coffee, and Red Rock. Welcome Grounds Coffee Co. to North Seattle. The drive through is located at 143rd & Aurora/Hwy 99 next door to Kidd Valley, close to the Seattle - Shoreline border. This indie chain has other established sites located in Woodinville, Mukilteo, Snohomish, and Kenmore. I stopped by during their Grand Opening on 5/15/23. Very nice and upbeat barista that morning. Tasty, perfectly crafted iced mocha! Started a punch card too. Second visit was after a stop at the nearby Bitter Lake Post Office on 5/31/23. Thankful to see two baristas onsite, including the previous upbeat one. Again, good to report consistently crafted iced mochas. I got my usual 16oz and a 32oz (6 shots!) one for The Homie. Their beverage and light bites menu is vast. So many choices and reasonably priced. Definitely recommended!

    That's not light ice

    Everything is great from here. The drinks are so fun and so good but my low stars are for how much ice they put in their drinks even when I said for light ice and they say ok. If they can't do light ice I'd rather them tell me they can't. I ask for light ice every single time and this is how the cup is filled every single time. I pay 13 dollars for this drink and I'd like more drink than ice. It's frustrating that I ask each time and every employee will say ok! But this is how my drink comes every time. Feels like a waste of money

    Fall menu is here!

    Got the oatmeal creme pie and it was so good. Can't wait to try all the other drinks!

    Love this place. They go the extra mile with their food in their drinks. The baristas always brighten my day if I stop in morning or afternoon.

    OMG! Energy drinks never tasted this good. Obviously they needed to be put into one of these concoctions.

    sadly a deeply mediocre experience. took absolutely forever (in part because there was only one guy…read moreworking the whole shop, which isn't feasible when you are trying to serve hot food AND make drinks) and the food/coffee was mid and overpriced. i had an avocado toast (and even asked if they use fresh avocado, to which they said yes)...it was ice cold pre-packaged avocado atop cold bread. for $7.50!! my husband ordered the ham breakfast sandwich which came lukewarm. all this after we waited about 15 minutes. and again, i feel for the guy who was clearly running this place by himself. but they're just trying to do too much. coffee was also pretty mid, another $5 latte prepared without much care or attention. just fizzy oat milk dumped into a cup. when it's $30 + tip for breakfast and coffee for two to-go, i'd just expect a lot more. also, i see a lot of other people like the ambiance?? very confused by this, it's just another textbook standard gentrified coffee shop with an expensive letterboard, industrial lighting, and metal chairs.

I tried the gluten-free trailblazer cookie, and it was absolutely delicious. Loved all the additions to it to make it a more robust cookie. I also had the lavender latte which was tasty and not too strong a lavender taste.

I got here on a Friday around 5:20pm, thoughI'm not sure why I decided to drive so far off Seattle. As mentioned, there's only a few tables for seats spread around the corners of the inside, with a small fish tank and a grassy backdrop on the left-hand side of the wall. The menu is lined up on the right-hand side and features all of the items, though their matcha drinks menu is located above the front counter, along with their new items. Staff at the front take your order and bring your food to you when it's ready. For their food I got the following: - Banana pudding matcha: I couldn't tell this was ceremonial matcha till I put my straw farther down the drink past the thick banana pudding layer, and sipped in all those grassy, earthy tones matcha is known for. I got to eat some part of the banana pudding - which has cracker bits that are lighter in color than Biscoff crackers but tasted like them - before stirring a small part of it to finish off this awesome drink that could give places like Phe a run for their money. - Eden Garden special: this is a relatively simple banh mi sandwich with Vietnamese ham and slightly scrambled - and very hot - eggs along with the usual banh mi condiments like jalapenos and julienned carrots. I probably wanted even more protein in this despite the ham and eggs already being that; the banh mi felt like it was missing something. Bread isn't crispy by any means but it is served very warm, therefore it was really easy to chew. It oddly didn't make to much of a mess when I took big bites off it; most of the mess came from some of the condiments - especially the eggs - falling off. Overall I loved this place a lot with the matcha and banh mi I got here! It's quite out the way of Seattle but lately some interesting hidden gems with better taste profiles have not been in the heart of this state, like this place for instance. I hope this place can last for a long time, and I'll be back for their other items!

    Great hidden gem for drinks and casual Vietnamese food. We stopped by after a couple hours bowling…read moreacross the street. It's a pretty small cafe with limited amount of seating (approx 8 seats). They have an extensive drinks menu and a few Vietnamese dishes for food. We all ordered banh mi and I went for the classic cold cut version. Also added an order of their fish sauce wings - a must get! The sandwiches were great and came packed with both meat and veggies. The bread had a crunch but not enough to cut the inside of your mouth. Before we left, I ordered their coconut coffee smoothie with boba as my dessert. It was too watery for my liking as I was hoping for a more smoothie/slushy consistency.
