My favorite coffee shop! I worked for Suzy and Dan in 1991/92! Great place to visit! Great folks that worked there! Amazing customers! You could smoke on the patio and garage are in the olden days. Great fun. Lots of stories. Paul, Amelia, Andrea, Sunshine, Shannon and several others. Best coffee around. read more

I had the absolute pleasure of walking through their doors today. I don't remember my barista's first name, but she was awesome! She provided great customer service (especially for 06:30 I might add) and she really reminded me that good people still exist in the world. This wasn't my go-to GFC location yesterday, but it is now. Thank you!! (P.s. the espresso and tea were delicious) read more

A local Utah coffee spot for you. Love the white mocha hot half sweet with oat milk. It has come in clutch many times. They have a cool fun artsy vibe read more

The coffee never disappoints, but the customer service is trash and terrible. LIN (I think that is how you spell his name) has the worst customer service. Was very rude when I ask about the espresso shot worked and after I order was criticizing of my order front of me, of how it does make sense and doesn't go well together. read more

I use to love grounds but they have become horrible with service and drinks. Ordered blended drink and couldn't even enjoy it because it had so much ice at bottom of drink. Asked if they had certain drink and server must have heard me wrong because they made the wrong drink. Cool local business but definitely won't be going back to support this local shop, sadly. read more

I love the the location on 25th street so i decided to give this location a try. First off the woman that rang me up was so incredibly rude. While I was typing in my phone number on the register screen to get my points for my purchase she moved the screen out of my hand and told me she has to ring up another customer and basically looked at me to move out the way. She then told me I was on the order screen when I tried to explain to her that I was typing in my points. The guy that made my coffee was professional but the coffee was so thick with coffee mix and sweetener it was like mud and I couldn't even drink it. It was just awful. The vegan breakfast burrito was mediocre. Whoever makes their food at this location is totally different from the baker on 25th. I will be sticking to that location from now on. This location is not one I would ever recommend or go to again.**update**I've been sick to my stomach all morning after the couple sips I took read more

Grounds for Coffee - the entrance to a coffeehouse - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ogden, Utah

Regular at this coffee shop. They're a very friendly staff and this is my favorite place to go during the semester to study, I love the atmosphere. I also like that they consistently change the artwork on the walls. It's very convenient as there are a good amount of tables for having group studies or small meetings. For students attending Weber State looking for a study spot, I recommend this place because it's literally right down the road. It also closes at 11pm compared to most coffee shops that close at 9 in the area and that's definitely a plus. read more

Clean, green, and hot caffeine. The quintessential coffee shop for thrifty, discriminating bean chuggers. Parking can be a tad challenging because garden space is a priority for the open-space-loving proprietors of GFC. And for me, that's totally a plus. People who have to grab and dash have a priority parking space and are in and out in a flash. This cozy yet spacious shop is cheered by morning light. The patrons cross the spectrum from private school professionals to dog walkers. It's an upbeat atmosphere. If you're like me, you get irritated by empty creamers in crowded dingy corners. This beverage doctoring station is clean, fully loaded, and spacious. If you're re going to hang out alone, meet on business, or chill with your pals, They have several options for seating from sofas to work stations. You can't go wrong at this locally owned, low price, high quality coffee shop. read more

Had an iced black tea and it was well steeped. They had honey syrup and agave ready which is great good WiFi and a chill place to get some work done if you're in need late. read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years & it is still my favorite coffee place in town! All the staff members are wonderful & very helpful. The owners are committed to giving back to the community which I think is an added bonus. It's great for studying, catching up with friends or just a cup of coffee and enjoying the beautiful view! read more

I try to come to this single coffee shop as much as I can rather than going to any others in the state, The employees always treat me so nicely and will make whatever drink I need/want without hesitation they know what they are doing and they don't "fight" back when you make a weird request. Even the other items that they offer such as the breakfast burritos and coffee beans that they also sell our fantastic. At first the seating took me off guard but it has definitely grown on me as a comfortable environment to drink my coffee and eat a breakfast burrito. read more

LDS options! Everyone friendly! There are options for everyone. This is a safe environment for everyone. The baristas are great, the art is fun, and most importantly the food and beverages here are delicious. Fair pricing, good live music. Love the super tall barista girl up front. read more

The most important part of this place is the best: The Coffee. The atmosphere, however, is why it gets three stars. It's a bit of a hole and that bothers me. I'm not a smoker, and I come out of this place, after studying, smelling more like smoke than coffee. The chairs look like they were picked up used from a Motel 6 that went out of business and a majority of the tables need a chunk of napkins underneath them to keep them from rocking back and forth. Most of the times I'm in there, I have to put headphones on to tune out the dudes who are comparing and contrasting the differences between crystal meth and ecstasy before they head over to the pick and pull for a door on their car. I avoid this place unless it's a quick in and out for a REALLY GOOD cup of coffee. I'm quite torn between the ridiculously delicious nature of the coffee and the rambunctiousness nature of the shop. The GFC on 89 and on 25th St. are my favorite places to go and study in a quite place, but this place by far has the best baristas of the three. read more

I love love love this place! They have yummy coffee and the refills on a mug are only 50 cents! The staff is usually warm and helpful and they rarely have crappy bands. They also carry Rico's Burritos which are huge delicious! They warm them up and serve them sour cream and salsa..delivered right to your table. The only thing I can complain about is the adjoining community garden that they have next to it. A lot of the people involved in the garden are regulars at the coffee shop and bring their drama with them. I came to relax and play on my laptop (free wifi!!!) not listen to a group of granola's complain about someone not pulling weeds...seriously every time I go in and they are there I just leave. They also have this guy who wanders around the coffee shop (never orders anything) and just talks to whoever will listen to him..whether you have earphones in doing homework or not. in short: coffee is YUMMY..environment is usually great..staff great..free wifi..but occasionally the customers there are annoying. read more

This place has a decent selection of whole bean coffee along with the list of drinks they can make. I've not tried all their blends, but the ones I have tried are pretty good. You also get a free drink when you buy a 1 lb bag of coffee beans (take that into consideration when you see the prices for a 1 lb bag) read more

Fun little place. Nice atmosphere. Staff is nice but not in a hurry. The coffee was my let-down. Given the reviews and how busy the place was I thought I was in for a pretty good mocha. Maybe it was the style of beans they used, but the mocha I got was almost undrinkable and I didn't finish it. read more

Grounds for Coffee - Front counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ogden, Utah

Yes my last name is Starbuck and I was born and raised in Western WA so I guess if someone should know coffee it would be me. I travel a lot and it amazes me how hard it is to find coffee in some state but Grounds for Coffee is a great find! I will drive out of my way when staying in Ogden to come here. The coffee is not bitter at all, and not burnt or over brewed. They make a great cup of coffee and I really enjoy the Grand Slam with the espresso & brewed coffee mix. I will get a fu-fu drink from time to time but deep down I just want to taste the beans and the everything that makes that roast what it is. Prices are what you would expect from any coffee shop in Ogden. Now for the people! Oh my they are wonderful! The staff is super friendly and the patrons are too. We just stopped and talked to people in there and it wasn't any big deal. I most def. will go there again and again. It is how Starbucks used to be so I hope they don't ever loose that. read more

What a wonderful discovery this morning. I travel a lot and I'm always interested in finding local businesses to avoid the generic anonymity of chains. I was looking for good coffee and a bite to eat on my way to a seminar and hoping to avoid the Evil Green Empire. Grounds for Coffee popped up as the closest option on my GPS. The place was charming and tastefully-decorated, but unpretentious and homey at the same time. The service was outstanding, with warm, friendly staff greeting me and offering me samples of their coffees. The coffee was really, really good, although the French Roast was the only one bold enough for my tastes. This place will have my business the next time I'm in Ogden for sure. read more

Great coffee, nice staff, and plenty of seating. Usually a pretty interesting crowd for a coffee shop. Not my kind of interesting, but I have nothing against punks. One star off because parking here during peak times is potentially fatal. I try to park at the liquor store in back (which is illegal, but less dangerous). read more

Cute coffee shop/bookstore. I stopped here for a quick latte with my sister and picked up some lavender bath salts for my mother. The woman helping us was very friendly. And made a good latte. read more

Grounds for Coffee - Yuzu berry green tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ogden, Utah

As some one who attended Ogden High School, just down the street from Grounds, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for this coffee shop. I remember when it was still run down looking and kind of gross, and I saw it transform into what it is today. Whenever I come to visit my family I always make a couple of stops at Grounds for Coffee and order my favorite, a Mocha Chiller. Yes, the Mocha Chiller is essentially a Starbucks frappacino, but really it's so much more. It's sweeter, more fluffy and always consistently good. So now you may ask, why the 3 stars instead of 4 or 5? I went in with my mother just the other day while visiting and ordered a regular menu item, a Raspberry Chiller. The girl who assisted us was obviously new, this isn't my issue, she asked us three times how to make a Raspberry Chiller. (I have no idea how to make a raspberry chiller.) There was another employee, a more seasoned employee (I know because he worked there when I was in high school) and he too seemed miffed by our order. Keep in mind that my mother has been ordering Raspberry Chillers for 10 years-ish. It was a long tedious experience that eventually resulted in us getting almost what my mother ordered but not quite. My order came out fine. I still like the place, but I'm not sure if I'm going because it's great or because it's a nice memory. read more

I've spent 9 years going to this place and it is honestly my favorite coffee shop. I love it because it's so relaxed. It gives you a great ogden vibe. I wish there were more things I could use to describe how much I love coming here. It's really awesome and so is the coffee. Great view and great feel. read more

I quickly ascertained this would be my new spot, after moving. The atmosphere is great, prices reasonable (as well as student discounts), excellent food choices. Baristas are professional and friendly. They also go the extra mile here. Plenty of seating and outlets of you are here to work. read more

Grounds for Coffee - Bamboo surrounding patio seating. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ogden, Utah

This place has become an essential part of my morning ritual. Here's the routine: First, I order a cup of their medium brew, then I peruse the scones and end up buying one because they are made fresh every morning. With my student discount, the total comes to about 4 dollars. I usually sit and read for an hour or two before heading to work. The atmosphere is conducive for studying and the seating is comfortable. They have cushioned chairs with wide arm rests to set your cup. If your life lacks excitement or you need good story material, come drink some joe and find what you're looking for. And leave a tip so the higher powers bless you. read more

Excellent. Great service. Wonderful coffee. I love coffee. And this is great. Clean and safe shop.

This is my all time favorite coffee shop. I drink coffee through all hours of the day so the times Grounds is open makes it very convenient for me. I've never been disappointed with this place and there is no way you can't love the vibes that fill this coffee shop. Super speedy service and AMAZING coffee! read more

I used to love this place. It's open late, which makes it my go-to place before work every day. Their chai chillers are amazing and I used to tell everyone that would listen about how much I loved this place. Like always, there's a "but" to this story. For the last couple months, there is a guy who works there who consistently puts whipped cream on my chai even when I very obviously tell him not to. I've had people stop me on my way out and ask my why he does that, and all I can do is shrug because I have no idea. As far as I know he doesn't do it to anyone else, and it's honestly very disheartening because I love this Grounds. When anyone else there makes my drinks, they are always amazing and friendly, which is why I haven't stopped going in yet, but I'm at the end of my rope. read more

Aside from the coffee being so delicious, which it really is. The owners, (Dan & Suzy) could not be better advocates for the community. They are involved and volunteer for most Ogden events. They have a community garden for Pete's sake! Ogden is a better place because of them! I can't think of a better place to grab a cup of joe and I've been around the world! read more

I just moved to Ogden from Seattle, and this place immediately made me feel at home. Every time I need a pick-me-up (of the caffeinated or human variety), this place delivers. Great coffee, fresh pastries, friendly staff. Cozy environment with a rotating gallery of local art and plenty of tables, couches, etc. for getting some work done or hanging out with your coffee klatch friends (including the hilarious group of roughneck regulars who sit there sipping their lattes and bitching about all of the hippies taking over town). Bulletin board full of the local news for earth-mother types, I joined the "Ogden Chicken Alliance" and found out about a sweet bluegrass festival thanks to this place. Love! read more

Delicious coffee, and plenty of table space for people wanting to stretch out with their work

Cool little coffee shop - under the sign for the joint it reads, "A Legal Brew," just to remind you that yes, you are in Utah where the mormons reign. The place had a kicked back, relaxed worn in feel with plenty of alternative flyers hanging about and shelves where you can pick up Salt Lake City's entertainment news and event chronicle and the SLT Gay and Lesbian Magazine, which means this place is definately not like Utah. I felt normal and the coffee was good. read more

This coffee shop goes great with the Pizza Runner next door. I would recommend ordering an order of pepperoni bread sticks @ the Runner and having them bring them over to you @ Grounds when they are done. This shop is usually busy and will find a mix crowd of people. You have your basic lineup of drinks you'd expect and no girly fruity drinks. I only gave 3 stars cause the Wi Fi is somewhat slow and parking is very limited. There is also a location on historic 25th Street. read more

Excellent coffee and excellent staff. The decor is cozy and quaint. It's definitely the kind of coffee shop that makes you want to sit and stay for a while. They even have board games that you can borrow while you're in the shop. read more

I've only been here once, but I was impressed with my experience. They made exactly what I wanted and it was a picky drink. I got a 12 oz soy one-shot vanilla dirty chai with two pumps of caramel. It was outstanding! Place was clean, not too expensive, very large with tons of tables and space, and stays open very late. Awesome!! read more

The service at the Harrison location is awful. I used to stop by at least once a week on my way to school but I have finally given up! The Batista's are not helpful and act like they are doing YOU a favor. The coffee is good, but you can get the same coffee on 25th with much better service. read more
