Recently been dealing with a lot so when I knew I'd have a few hours to myself; I went out for a run and came here afterwards. I just sat outside with my coffee, it was nice and quiet, nobody bothered me. The interesting thing about this place is that it's more than just coffee, they have other little kiosks. Some sell food, some sell homemade goods like candles, lotions etc. It really is a place I'll come to again, and again.

It's a really cozy vibe, and I can only imagine watching the snow in the winter come down as you're sitting looking out the window! The 2 employees that were working were very friendly. The gentleman on the bar was very helpful with questions we had. All of their syrups are house made, which i absolutely love. With that said, I ordered myself their pumpkin latte, and paired it with a chocolate croissant. The flavor wasn't overwhelming, nor was it overly sweet. Just perfection! The aroma was out of this world! I wish I could bottle it up and keep it with me all Fall! The only downfall is that it was a 40-minute drive from home, but it just means we plan ahead and make it a nice date day in the future!

Still good coffee, but not as great as before…read more I go to this specific coffee shop quite a bit. They do a good coffee, and they got a reasonable selection of baked goods. I'm removing a star because the standards seem to be slipping a bit. They switched their bakery and although recently they've been experimenting with their in house baking there's a notable difference between what they outsource and what they make in house. The in house stuff is significantly better in terms of quality and freshness, and although priced high they are usually worth the price. The outsourced items don't seem as fresh and it's hard to justify the prices. The coffee is still balanced between the earthy coffee and the house made flavors for their lattes. The experience has been a bit colder as of late, which is fine if you're grabbing a cup to go, but not if you intend to write some reviews while enjoying a cup. That coupled with the multiple times there's been equipment failures which forced me to go someplace else. I honestly cannot state this is worth the trek to try only because there's a chance you can't get coffee at the cafe. I think it's time for myself to trek for another place. For those who want a good cup of coffee, this place is still good for that. Focus on the house-made stuff, order to go, and enjoy.

The Dirty Hippie iced espresso drink is my number one go-to - which is like their take on a dirty chai latte, with cinnamon and all, it's incredible. They do have food as well, so this is the perfect place to stop by for a pick-me up or breakfast / brunch pit stop. I highly recommend bringing your laptop or book, and just hanging out for a bit enjoying your beverage, etc. They have a cute little loft with several comfortable seating arrangements up there, as well as a couch and some bar seating space downstairs in the main area. It is dog friendly and they often times have several in and out so that's a plus as well! 10/10 recommend. #1 favorite local spot, hands down.

This menu was very varied (there's something for everyone) and it definitely enticed me to go back for more! The breakfast sandwich I got was the Chipotle breakfast sandwich (forgot the exact name) and it was very tasty and filling. The price point is definitely a bit high so be prepared to spend if you're coming with multiple people, but I do appreciate the variety of coffees and teas available. The servers and baristas were very sweet and helpful when guiding me during my first visit there. If you're looking for a quiet coffee shop to get some work done, this is definitely worth a try. I didn't get to try any of the pastries but I will definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu! 4 stars just because of the high price point, but the quality of the items is very good.

I've never been to a place with such a friendly staff and a wide variety of coffee and food before. If I had to pick my favorite thing about this shop, it's the staff. Me and my boyfriend became regulars at this shop, and they always treated us with a big smile, asked how our weeks have been, and just over all seemed to genuinely care about us as customers and people. They would always be so excited to show us the new season menus, as we always tried the whole menu when it came out; they always wanted our opinions on the coffee. I buy my coffee beans from this shop, even still now that I don't live in Massachusetts anymore. If you're looking for a coffee shop in Amherst, this is definitely the best around.

The staff was so nice and friendly, and we even laughed for a bit which was refreshing. I'm a sucker for seasonal or specialty drinks so the chocolate covered cherry latte immediately caught my eye.

The latte was rich and a good quality coffee, so the drink went down very smooth. The maraschino cherries on top were a nice touch too. I love the punk rock feel, and will definitely be visiting more frequently.

Beary, Well Shaken is an invigorating blend of berry iced tea, fresh lemon juice and sparking water. This sounds very basic, and it's caffeine free, but it's so energizing and truly refreshing, it felt like it's caffeinated. My mom loves their capuccino. It's creamy, rich and delightful. I'm so glad Alvarium Roasting is now at Gastro Park.

Yelper Don F. finally gave me the extra nudge I needed to stop in... and now I'm seriously mad at myself for not trying Sacred Grounds sooner. All coffee sold here is organic and fair trade, roasted with a light hand to minimize bitterness and maximize the nutty / fruity notes. To channel my favorite Top Chef contestant of all time, Carla Hall, this coffee tastes like it's roasted with love! I can't say enough nice things about the owner, John Rich, who works the COVID-safe takeout window and has evidently donated coffee for Sherman School SPTO meetings for years. He's kind, friendly, low-key and welcoming. (Nice profile here: https://candlewoodlakemagazine.com/2016/02/22/sacred-grounds-coffee-roasters-brewing-up-a-successful-business-that-rocks/) Sacred Grounds is conveniently located right across the street from school, next to the Painted Lemon (though in this town, what isn't? ;). It feels like a wonderful mini vacation to drop the kids off, get my beautifully made cup of drip coffee served in an environmentally friendly-ish paper cup (post pandemic, I wonder if I could bring my own mug?), and drive somewhere for a nice morning hike, coffee in hand, before commuting back to my "office" (guest bedroom). Two human kids and one pup in, I'm no longer a coffee snob. (At 5 a.m. after two hours of sleep, sometimes instant coffee is just how ya gotta roll.) But even I can appreciate the quality of the roasting here, and recognize that I have to give it the time it deserves to properly enjoy it.

I hope they stick around for decades more.
