What a great place to grab a blended drink to go or drive through. Fantastic service and tomorrow my friend and I are going in the little Bristo and having lunch. We can't wait! I'll be back to extend the review! read more

The coffee was delightful. The service was great. It's a cute shop. I was a little worried they wouldn't have oat milk but they did! Thank you! read more

Higher Ground Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shingletown, California

Came here for coffee and breakfast twice during our trip to Lassen National Park. Gotta say, I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed our visits here! Super cozy and homey inside, staff were so friendly and kind, and it was just such a peaceful way to start our morning. Their egg, cheese, and bacon breakfast sandwich was delish - just the right amount of food to sets us up for a day of hiking. A wide variety of coffee and breakfast drinks to start the day, too. They also have Wi-Fi here, which was clutch because I got very little cell service in Shingletown. Easy parking. Hands down would recommend stopping by when you're in the area. read more

Higher Ground Coffee was conveniently located down the road from our accommodation. The interior was cozy with some indoor seating and free wifi (very necessary). The lady at the counter was super friendly and great to talk to about the local hikes and attractions. The menu had some seasonal fall drinks, and I got the Oatmeal Cookie Chai Latte (with 3 shots of espresso because I was exhausted). This was tasty, although the flavor was somewhat masked by all the espresso. I also tried the Banana Bread, which was tasty, but did not taste freshly baked. Pricing was extremely reasonable! Overall, a good option for a caffeine fix. read more

Very Good coffee. Very pleasant people. Absolutely wonderful service. Very clean and comfortable. Extremely reasonable pricing.

If you're passing thru and need a little pick me up, this place is worth the stop before heading up to Lassen. The iced and hot coffees are great, there are lots of pastries (some of them made in house) and I had no idea there was such a large menu for breakfast sandwiches, regular sandwiches and salads too! Service was friendly and quick and they even have a drive thru window. I definitely recommend trying this place out. Just FYI: cash is king if you don't want to pay the debit/credit card processing fee. A lot of Shingletown businesses will pass the processing fee to you so if you don't want to pay the 3% or whatever, bring cash. read more

This place has the best service and the biscuits and gravy! Service was awesome and the women that run this place are the sweetest

This is the best coffee shop ever. They genuinely have very great tasting coffee and amazing food. The owner is such an amazing woman. The environment when you step inside makes you feel at home. If you find yourself heading up or down the hill, make a point to stop into Higher Ground. read more

Cute little coffee shop that sits along the 44 on the way into Lassen. Family run by the friendliest folks, they make a selection of sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. Cool down with an iced drink - they make a good Mexican Chocolate Mocha. Plenty of great breakfast options - the Pesto Parm stands out with fluffy eggs and bacon, but the Biscuits and Gravy are also pretty great. Spicey Bowl is similar, to what you'd find in a sandwich, with chunks of fresh jalapeño to spice things up. They also have a case full of pastries, notably the Almond Danish and multiple muffins. I prefer the prepared food to the pastries, and their coffee concoctions are good. Stop by Higher Ground on your way in or out of Lassen. They make the best food in all the towns. read more

It's a decent choice in Shingletown granted I be live this is the only coffee shop there besides the grocery store that also serves breakfast and coffee. I tried their latte, it was pretty delicious and not too sugary. Their breakfast burrito was not good, it had way too many tomatoes and was a bit bland. Their jalapeño bagel was delicious, and tasty. I wouldn't get a breakfast burrito again but I would the bagel sandwich. Overall, friendly staff, locally owned (I Believe) and super cute place. If I am ever in the area, I would try it. read more

Hidden gem! This is a great little coffee spot! Super nice people, the blueberry scones (especially if you get it warmed) are better than Starbucks'! It has a cozy vibe. The music is good but not super loud. Great spot to work from. They have a drink menu and breakfast/lunch food options (see pics). Multiple people came in just to have breakfast and chat. I will be back! read more

Tastes really good and nice service. Takes a little while to make your food but is worth it in the end. Totally recommend!

Amazing atmosphere, love the service and the food. When I opened up my spicy bowl, it smelled delicious! My chewy caramel frappe is fully blended and is perfectly sweet. They have a cute little 2-sitter area in the front. It's had an amazing small-town feel. read more

Higher Ground Coffee - Spicy Bowl - it smells amazing! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shingletown, California

Nice decent coffee in Lassen NP area /Shingletown. Their bagel and breakfast sandwich were good too.

If you are looking for a quick breakfast on your way into town or airport I HIGHLY recommend this great Christian business. The coffee texture and blend is something unique to this business. Its not bitter, burnt nor bland. It is and has been my regular 6AM stop. I have only had the scramble bowl and burrito for breakfast. Both are great with preference to the burritos. Every morning for the first hour the business opens and welcomes guests with Christian music as the sunrise comes up over the horizon. 5 Stars for atmosphere, quality, service and of course the food. read more

Excellent food, always surpasses my expectations. Drinks and weekly specials are great!

Great local stop for coffee, baked goods, sandwiches and more. My husband loves their breakfast burritos. read more

Not impressed with the employees' behavior. None of them were wearing masks and some employees were smirking at us for being the only people in the shop with masks on. I expect more professionalism from a business owner when customers are supporting your business. read more

As travelers from the Bay Area, we are used to wearing masks into all businesses not only for our own protection but for others. This establishment gave us the "look" as soon as we walked in the door wearing masks. There was an older middle-aged woman at the register and a teenaged girl helping her. Their attitudes spoke a thousand words. As a small town business, they should be grateful we stopped and patronized their little shoo, that employs them and puts a roof over their heads and food on their table. He had choices but we stopped at their cafe. Never again. I don't care what a persons politics are, but as a business person myself, I know you never treat a customer that way. Again, do not buy coffee from a business that doesn't appreciate you spending your money at their establishment. We all have choices. Don't make this place one of yours. The coffee was just ok. read more

Two stars because my mocha was good but one star or zero because the Lady at the counter was grouchy. Not a smile to be found anywhere. As soon as I walked in with my dog she said, we don't usually have animals inside. There's no pet sign anywhere so I told her I would just look at the menu and let my significant other make my purchase. And she snapped at my significant other As well. Something to do with not being able to make an iced cappuccino. If you want decent coffee go, but if you want decent personality and customer service keep rolling by. read more

Love this place! Their roasted chicken salad is so yummy. The dressing is out of this world good. The turkey bomb is my favorite sandwich. Morning scrambles are good too. You can't go wrong stopping in here! read more

The employees were quite helpful. They had masks on and were friendly. The breakfast burritos are delicious. Some seasoning they use is unique. Love to stop here on the way to Susanville. Another person came in Without a mask and was treated well. It seems the employees like people and treat everyone with a smile. Love the small town service! read more

I needed to find a spot to work for a few hours when we were staying at Lassen NP. This was the closest spot, and it was perfect! Everyone in here is super friendly, the wi-fi worked great and the chai latte was delicious!! Definitely stop by here if you're headed into Lassen. read more

This place has incredible tasting coffees, friendly employees, and the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had.

The breakfast bomb is just that, the bomb. Basically biscuits and gravy but with eggs, cheese and bacon too. The jalapeño bagels are amazing and huge. Try the BLT on a croissant for lunch with a salad with the feta vinaigrette. They serve organic coffee and use Monin syrups for flavors. Best Cappuccino in a 45 minutes radius. The interior is inviting and reminds me of the coffee shop from Friends. read more

Wow! It took me a while to realize we even had a drive through in Shingletown but we do! I have been there 3 times and every time I have left happy. This last time I ordered Vegetable soup and it was amazing...the taste and temperature were right on, and the veggies were rustic and tasty. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. I suggest you give them a try! 5 stars and well deserved.... but their hours have left me wishing they were open on a Sunday. My only suggestion for Higher grounds is you need a sign that catches the eye. I'm sure you would get more customers! read more

I love Angie's place. Her sandwiches are delicious and always well-made, as is her coffee. A lovely spot to stop on the way if you're visiting Lassen Park or the Shingletown area. read more

Higher Ground Coffee - Hopin Jalapeño Breakfast Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shingletown, California

Best coffee place for miles! The coffee is organic and the food is amazing! My favorite drink is the Mexicano! It's an Americano with some Mexican Mocha added in! So good and so much better on the calorie count! The best sandwich is the Vegetarian on whole wheat! The Turkey Bomb is also amazing on their delicious bagels!! Make sure and stop by every time you drive through Shingletown! Makes a great spot to warm up after a day in the snow or cool off from the heat in the valley! The wifi works great if you're in need of some internet while on vacation too! The girls that work there are always happy to see you and will know how you take your favorite drink before you know it!! read more
