    Banana cream matcha
    Nishalina B.

    Got their banana cream matcha and it was ok. Wish it had a banana puree instead of just banana syrup. Although I did order with oat milk, it was missing a cream flavor/texture, so I asked for cold foam on top and it was better.

    Just moved to the area and this has become my favorite coffee spot. Their coffee is so good and they have so many options and speciality coffees as well. I really enjoy their lavender latte but the snickerdoodle is also really good. The staff is super friendly and they are quick with the orders. Plenty of seating options as well. They also have breakfast options and I like that you can get half a breakfast burrito - get the chorizo!

    What a great little coffee shop in a great little town. Right off the 156 and next to the Justin boots outlet. So if you're coming to Justin for a new pair of boots or cowboy hat stop by Higher Grounds and grab you're self a cup of Java and visit with these fine ladies that run this place. It's a quiet and comfortable location to unwind after a day of shopping before you head home.

    Such a cute local spot! I had the snickerdoodle iced latte with cold foam on top, and it was so good - perfectly sweetened and full of flavor. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

    Medium latte, brewed to perfection.

    This little coffee bar on 156 is a hidden gem and worth a stop if you're near Justin or Northlake. The coffees are from a bespoke roaster in Amarillo. The servers are friendly and welcoming. And the space is airy and comfortable, with ample seating options. My medium latte was spot on, and chill background music added to the laid back ambience. I look forward to coming back with friends.

    I love this coffee shop in Justin great coffee/ lattes, they have a cool outdoor patio, and they alway accommodate my dairy free preferences ! I come here almost twice a week. If you're ever in Justin definitely get coffee here.

    Okay, this is a small hole in the wall gem. We ordered a specialty drink of a s'mores latte, but iced... and YUM! Great, bold coffee flavor with just the right amount of sweet. Our barista was friendly and super quick, too. We'll be back for our next coffee fix, for sure.

    Very nice spot and the coffee is amazing!!! Would strongly recommend checking out this amazing local spot! You won't regret it

    Cute merch!

    I stumbled into this fine establishment on accident one morning, and I'm sure glad I did! Yummy coffee and super friendly staff. The shop was super clean and styled adorably. We got "Stellah's fave" which was a caramel vanilla breve and the Snickerdoodle Latte. Check them out, you won't be disappointed!

    Great local coffee shop. I had the Crème Brûlée latte and it was great. They also had a S'mores latte that I want to try on the next visit.

    Mom and I went in the before Independence Day Week, and they had the café all decorated for it. The…read morebaristas were really friendly and were happy to answer questions. Apparently pretty much all of their syrups are made in-house. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options that are great for hosting larger get togethers. We had "Sandy Beaches", "Coco Loco", a cappuccino, a blueberry scone, and ordered some sandwiches to go. I think we liked the Sandy Beaches the best of the drinks. Coco Loco really needs to be shaken or stirred, but is excellent when the flavors are fully incorporated. (You gotta remember that the in-house syrups work a little differently than the highly processed stuff. If it tastes a little strong of coffee and not much of syrup... that means you need to try shaking or stirring.)

    I wanted to like this place, but the experience was unbelievably frustrating. I waited over 40…read moreminutes for a single coffee, and after all that time there were STILL six groups ahead of me waiting for their drinks. At that point I gave up and left without ever getting my order. It was a holiday weekend, so being busy wasn't surprising but the shop clearly was not staffed appropriately to handle the crowd. They only had ONE person working the espresso machine, which created a massive bottleneck while the line kept growing longer and longer. I understand rushes happen, but customers shouldn't be stuck waiting nearly an hour for coffee with no realistic end in sight. Management seriously needs to plan staffing better during peak times. Total waste of time.
