For actual coffee, this place is like a 1. For a cool spot for quiet, historically located in an…read moreinteresting old church and to help benefit a local community entity, this is like a 3.5.
Don't let my 2 discourage you from stopping by, I mean that! Life is about managing expectations. For purposes of looking at this old church, the beautiful stained glass and the organ, absolutely pop in to take in the beauty of this old building. Just know what this place is and know what it is not.
I stopped by during "library hours" from 10AM-4PM with to check this place out, read my book and grab coffee. During this time, the coffee is self serve, in urns, probably sitting there for some time, not hot and pretty bad. Powdered creamer is available. I made a donation of $2, got my bad coffee and sat in the open, quiet space of the Meeting Grounds for about an hour reading my book. So despite being dissatisfied with the coffee, my mission was accomplished. When I was there, there were three older men who were having a Bible study discussion and there were two guys who must live in the area who stopped in to grab coffee and then promptly left. I felt comfortable being there, taking some photos, minding my business, doing my thing, despite the kind of odd surroundings.
The room is big and this would be a perfect little spot for a group to meet or book club to gather. They have snacks and other simple coffee drinks, but those are available for sale during the non-library hours I believe. The Meeting Grounds itself is open to the public from 8AM-8PM, according to the sign at the door.
The church itself seems part hippie revival/part lazily renovated/part historically cool. It is an interesting old space.
