Kind of torn on this review…read more Grounded has a great patio and well-priced drinks. I just would say I haven't been super impressed by their drinks. I tend to prefer places that make some of their own syrups, etc. and from what I can tell, Grounded doesn't really do much from scratch, which is fine, just not my preference. Their drinks are usually good. I was kind of disappointed to see their even their seasonal specialty drink was not a homemade syrup. My biggest complaint is their cold brew is super weak/too watered down. Service is usually okay, cleanliness is usually okay as well. I do love their expanded hours, so we do stop here when others are closed.

Tends to get busy, and seating can be hard to come by. You do have to order at the front and they call your number to come get your food from the kitchen window. Only other criticism, is that it needs better signage out front. It is hard to find if you are from out of town. Overall though, cute coffee shop with good vibes.

I appreciate the different flavors and food options from season to season, but I must say I was sad that there was no pumpkin muffins this time around! Instead I ordered the banana muffin, which wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped and was a bit dry. The staff here is always friendly and efficient, and I love the decorations in this cafe. The wall with all the vintage drawings on it is so fascinating! I also had an iced latte this visit which was quite good. I am looking forward to my next visit!

Got a vanilla matcha and it's definitely made my top 5 list. They also had vegan bakery items!! So happy about that. Plenty of indoor seating and the bathroom is tucked away in a corner.

I always wonder what to give a coffee shop for a score when they are out of your drink…read more Last week Thursday morning, I ordered a large black cold brew of which I was told they were out. Now I am a 30 year black cold brew snob and love going to a different independent coffee house to try its unique flavor as everyone does it slightly different. After my dang, I should have just tried another location in town, but she asked if I would like to purchase a nitro instead which they had in tap. I reluctantly ordered it just to keep the line moving and also a scone which was very tasty and inexpensive at $2.00. I took one sip of the nitro and crushed the scone. I sat in the coffee shop for an hour getting some work completed and it looked like a steady flow of customers. Nice ambiance Good Service Solid scone Lack of my coffee drink Overall 3 because it is a coffee shop and cold brew is on the menu

Just visited La Crosse and figured I'd start my adventure with breakfast. Rosie's Café came highly…read morerecommended--and now I know why. It's the kind of place that doesn't just serve food, it serves belonging. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm "Good morning, hon!" and my friend had a coffee that could wake the dead (or at least a sleep-deprived newcomer). The décor is charmingly vintage, like your grandma's kitchen met a roadside diner and they decided to raise pancakes together. I ordered the chicken sandwich for breakfast! Don't judge it's a thing. because I didn't know what I was doing, and wow--turns out Rosie knows exactly what I needed. It wasn't fancy, but it was perfect. The staff made me feel like I'd been coming there for years. They joked, they chatted, they refilled my soda before I even realized I needed it. It was the kind of kindness that makes a city feel like home. Rosie's isn't just a café--it's a welcome mat with syrup on top. If you're new to La Crosse, start here. You'll leave full, caffeinated, and smiling.

They are also attached to Pearl Street Books (during the bookstores business hours) which is a great addition!

A handful of options to pick from, and I loved seeing two GF options. I got the brownie cookie, and it was fabulous! For beverages I got chai - it wasn't very warm and only filled 3/4 way, so I had to go back and ask them to fill the rest with hot water. My partner got a pumpkin cold brew and he loved it! He picked a vanilla sprinkles cupcake - there was only one left, and he was pretty bummed: it was stale and pretty flavorless. I think we picked wrong on a few things, but the brownie cookie and pumpkin cold brew were delish!

Our hike ended…read moreearly so we popped in here around 10:30 on a Sunday morning and were surprised we could get a table right away (was crowded but there were a couple of tables for large groups). Cate G was an excellent server and totally not ruffled by our large group. It was no problem when we asked for separate checks - she just asked that we not play musical chairs! We were chilled from our hike so the tumeric antioxidant tea with honey (extra charge) and lemon hit the spot. We had only planned on staying for a warm beverage before heading out to lunch elsewhere but the food menu enticed us so we decided to stay. The menu offered food I love as a vegetarian! I had the Ancient Buddha Bowl with farro (quinoa is an alternative). Tumeric toasted cauliflower, roasted sweet potatoes, beets, sumac roasted chickpeas, crisped kale/brussel sprouts mix with a lemon tahini dressing. So much goodness in a bowl!! There were so many other choices but if I were to eat here again, I would try the housemade vegan burger or one of their salads. It was a bit noisy with so many people but not so that our group was not able to enjoy conversation. Family friendly with a kids corner stocked with toys.
