Still love Parkgrounds! Mainly because they are super dog-friendly and have tons of space outside. They will serve you on the patio window if you don't want to go inside without your dog. The friendly servers will make you an excellent cup of chai Tea and a variety of sandwiches. I get the Rtown and add bacon because I love scrambled eggs and tomato. I almost always pick the croissant for my sandwhich but you can also get a biscuit or bagel. Today, Kiska got an extra special treat of chicken, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I, of course, separated it and only gave her pea-sized pieces when she was sitting or lying and not begging. read more

Service was friendly! There's lots of seating outside, from smaller round tables to picnic tables. I got the turkey sandwich, which was unfortunately a little dry. I got cucumbers and hummus on the side, and the hummus texture was also just a bit drier than what I would prefer. Giving 3 instead of 2 stars since the people I went with got breakfast burritos and other sandwiches and said it was good. read more

Visited this coffee shop after a Saturday morning Target run. I love that the outdoor area is super dog friendly and they have decaf espresso! I ordered myself a decaf latte with almond milk and an R Town biscuit. The drinks came out pretty fast but had a wait on food. I've never had a biscuit with tomatoes, egg and cheese in it but I enjoyed it actually. I would definitely come back here for more and maybe bring my pup next time. read more

Charming neighborhood coffee shop! The coffee was pretty good, and the breakfast sandwiches hit the spot. I think it even turns into a bar at night, which adds to the vibe. Street parking is available around the building, and it's also dog-friendly--a nice bonus! read more

Living with dogs also means living in neighborhoods where dogs are easily accepted at local businesses and there is plentiful space when it comes to parks. Park Grounds is one of those extra dog friendly businesses, but the establishment also tries to balance it by having a covered patio where the furry friends are not allowed. Starting with first impressions, the rusty bike rack and the largely torn up interior create a general emotion of rustic and hipster vibe. The exterior is also quite hard to notice from the street as a non abandoned building. While I am not sure if hipster is even a term these days, I can clearly say that this is a coffee shop for those who prefer a unique atmosphere. Ordering coffee, the folks are very nice and coffee price seems pretty reasonable. Coming out to the patio where dogs are not allowed, there are loose boards and other discarded items, that I would summarize as trash, laying on the left side of it. There are people who were sitting and working there, but it just did not seem like a great place to chill although it was better then the torn up couch inside. Stepping out to the dog friendly patio, there is certainly a smell of dogs everywhere and while the chairs are not particularly clean, there is a gorgeous old tree creating an amazing canopy to sit under while listening to the sound of the birds. In fact, I'd argue that the tree is the main thing making this patio a place where one may want to spend a minute or an hour. Once the latte came out, the staff working here were kind to bring it over and serve it in a mug. The size of the latte was quite small despite ordering regular size and it was filled about 3/4 of the way in the already small mug. Even the foam did not reach near the top. While I do not want to appear stingy, this just seemed odd presentation wise. Perhaps there was a hidden message, but either the price needs to be adjusted or this latte was just not made to the right size. Trying it out, it was hard to describe it as a amazing. The flavor of coffee was fairly subdued and lacked expression, which was strange as I believe they serve CounterCulture fresh ground coffee. Tasting this latte, would have never guessed that. As a whole, the tree canopy creates a wonderful atmosphere and the team working here is kind. It's a small family run business with a single location, trying to give fair prices in todays inflationary world and there is certainly something to be said about that. Park Grounds is a unique spot, in some ways summarizing the culture of Reynoldstown neighborhood. The abandoned house vibe is something that some might see as a flaw, but perhaps others would find it to be part of the appeal. It is certainly not like any other coffee shop. read more

Parkgrounds Café | Specialty Coffee Atlanta - Latte (prior to consumption) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

What an awesome little spot to work for an afternoon! After a morning meeting out of the house, I decided to spend the rest of my work day out in the Atlanta sun and stumbled upon ParkGrounds. Nestled on a tight, quiet corner of the neighborhood, you could almost miss this place if you weren't looking. Part cafe-vibes, part park-vibes, this combo was an ideal match for me. As I walked up, I was so excited to see that there was so much space to sit and enjoy the day and ParkGrounds. I should have brought my crazy dog to enjoy it with me! Upon entry into the cafe, it was so intimate and quiet inside. There were a few tables and seating options, including a bar-like area. I was tempted to cozy up inside, but instead, stuck to my guns and headed out back to enjoy my sandwich al fresco. The team member that took my order was super patient and was doing double-duty as she also dropped off my final order to my table. Outside seating was abundant as well, covered and uncovered. My sandwich was good, I may try another item on my next visit but it was still yummy! Paired with their free wifi, it was a nice way to spend a breezy afternoon. My only con? Parking! Limited street parking was available but I made it in, lucky me! read more

Parking in this area isn't great but I do love the set up of this little shop. It feels like a cozy cafe and is perfect for those who want to get away and working on their laptop or meet with some friends. I'm not sure I'd come here for a quick drink, because it wasn't particularly quick, but it is a nice place to visit and hang out. It looked like they served beer as well so maybe this would be a great afternoon meet up. read more

I've had ParkGrounds on my Yelp bookmarks list for literally years - and now that I finally got a dog... I stopped in during the long weekend to let my dog socialize with other dogs. Also - since my dog didn't have all the proper Bordetella and Listeria vaccines required for Fetch Park at the time (she is now up to date on both, but still haven't been to the snooty park yet) ParkGrounds seemed to be the next best option. Outdoor seating was plentiful - we found a table easily. There were plenty of tables but they filled up quickly since it was a holiday. Everyone was super receptive and friendly with their pups and others. Food & drink options are just. I ordered a latte and the grilled cheese sandwich. The chips that came with it were addicting. The sandwich was hot and cheesy and I was grateful. The latte kept me warm while watching my pup play with other pups and people. I do appreciate an affordable "dog park" that offers coffee and food at a reasonable price while watching unleashed pups enjoy each other's company. My biggest complaint is that this park isn't closer to my house!! read more

Parkgrounds is a really welcoming, cozy, neighborhood spot with great sandwiches and pretty solid coffee. I've been there a couple times for breakfast, and their breakfast sandwiches are awesome. Tons of options including vegetarian ones, and I like that you can choose what your sandwich comes on (english muffin, croissant, or bagel). They're really hearty and filling. The environment is very relaxed, and you won't encounter a stupid long wait like you might at a ~brunch~ place on the weekends. They also have pastries, and beer! With a lot of comfy seating inside and tons of outdoor seating, it seems like a great place to meet friends or get some work done. read more

Exploring a new part of Atlanta for me, East Atlanta, I searched on the map for the nearest coffee house near this weekend's home. I discovered ParkGrounds, a place that warmed my heart like my southern 90's days. A kind, woman greeted me in what seemed to be an art house meets smooth, delicious espresso kinda The perfect sized covered, wooded patio awaits for an early meeting spot one day. I'll take it, at least twice a week, if I'm in town. read more

ParkGrounds is a cute little cafe with a little twist: it has a dog park! This is just awesome! You can have your breakfast/snack/lunch/mimosa while you watch some dogs happily playing without a care in the world not worrying about climate change or taxes or inflation or if they should learn how to code... just happy dogs playing while you have your mimosa. A suggestion for management: it would greatly if if your burritos and other foods had a bigger size option. Or a side. That would be a winner for me read more

My friends and I stayed at an Airbnb a few blocks down the road from ParkGrounds, so we visited here a couple times while we were in town. It's totally unpretentious and very comfortable. The patio is a wonderful space to hang out, and we saw groups of friends with dogs and with babies there at various times when we walked by. The little library inside is also a lot of fun to look at--if not to read from, then at least to judge what people have donated to it. If I lived in the area, I could totally see this being my go-to coffee spot. read more

So glad it's not a dog park anymore! Most of the dog owners didn't pick up after their dogs. Some dog owners are the absolute worst kind of people. You don't want to have a pastry and coffee while be assaulted by poo stank! Now it's just an unassuming, unpretentious, cafe. It's chill. The staff is nice. The atmosphere is that local, laid back environment you'd probably prefer over the angry rush at a Starbucks. Hopefully they will expand on the food menu a bit. Why wouldn't they. They already revamped the place and made it nicer. Hope Reynolds Town appreciates this little nugget. Wish there were more of these joints closer to me in North Decatur. read more

Wow! Love the doggies and the coffee. This place is adorable. I got an americano and it was great. The pastries looks delicious too. Reasonable prices and unreasonably cuteness in the patio. I would recommend grabbing a coffee, hanging out with the puppies and then jumping onto the beltway. What a way to spend the afternoon! read more

Very good. Great friendly staff and amazing food. I ordered the PG Cuban and loved it. Will be back. read more

I was really looking forward to checking this place out. When I arrived, I was underwhelmed. It is street parking here, no parking lot. If you come on a rainy day or after it rains, it gets super muddy and wet outside in the dog park. Onto the dog park, they do provide trash can and poop bags. But if your dog is smaller, 20lb or under, the dog can fit through the inner gate and escape. If your dog is less than 10lb, don't come here, the dog would be able to escape through both gates. The size of the dog park is not very big. No grass. Has one bathroom inside but you cannot bring your dog to the patio section or inside the shop. I thought that was strange, dogs should at least be allowed indoor leashed. Tried two types of beverages and a sandwich. Sandwiches are reasonably priced enough, $7. Drinks were good enough, about $4 for a latte. The folks who work in the shop are OK, hit or miss. read more

Likely find parking on the streets. The "lot" is small, if you can even call it a lot. Once you step close to the facility, you'll smell a bunch of animals (dogs). On this particular sunny day, they were barking but their presence was limited to the fenced park. I would not come back for the drinks. The almond milk chai latte is bland. Might as well just drink almond milk by itself and not dilute it with anything. There are 3 love seats as well as tables and chairs and bar stools. There is ample natural lighting from the big windows. The place is not too loud. Interesting place to read, use internet (free wifi), and/or people-watch. It looks like a nice place to bring dogs. You can bring food and drinks out on the patio where there are seats within the dog park, too. Don't try to bring dogs inside. It's frowned upon (and unhygienic probably). read more

I've been here several times since my last review. Have always had a good leisurely time here. But today was different. We decided we would not sit at the bench as it was in the sun and chose to sit further towards the back near the pile of chips. To my horror, we were surrounded by dog poop that owners do not pick up! Please for crying out loud, pick up your dog's droppings. There are rakes and bags for everyone to use yet there are dried up poop! c'mon people!! read more

This is such a fun place to take your dog and get some breakfast or coffee. There is an open dog park fenced in the back where you can enjoy a coffee or share breakfast with friends. I got a dirty iced chai with oat milk which was delicious and also got the hashbrown bowl with bacon. The hash browns were crispy and delicious. The bagel wasn't anything special but good! Really fun place to take your dog on a Saturday or Sunday morning in a cute area of town! read more

Parkgrounds Café | Specialty Coffee Atlanta - Outdoor area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

NO LONGER A DOG PARK !!! So sad to say this. It was fun for all the years when you could get a coffee and let your furry friend play in the enclosed park. The food is very average and limited, but available. They have some beer and little wine bottles and limited bar too. The staff is very nice. But, they revamped the park and removed all enclosures so it's just a dog friendly patio environment now. How to even order anything when you have a dog with you is a mystery. They aren't allowed inside and there isn't outdoor waitstaff. Walk two minutes in ANY direction to find special cocktails and amazing food on a dog friendly patio. Was hoping they were going to finish renovations and make the dog park enclosed once more, but it's been a couple months now, so it must be complete as is. Feel bad for anyone who drives here for the dog park to find out it's not there. Please enclose the space again friends read more

I've only been here for coffee during the day. I keep meaning to pop in for evening beer and eats but it hasn't worked out so far. Maybe it will happen. But even so, I think this place is great. It probably says something that as I write this, I'm the Duke of ParkGrounds. I show up a lot. The people are 5 star friendly, the atmosphere is just about perfect and the coffee is good. Oh, yeah. There's a dog play area in the back. We are currently dogless but my wife and I have sat back there so she can get a dog 'fix.' It gets a bit scrappy at times, so I prefer inside on one the sofas. Highly recommended. read more

Decent coffee drinks, staff was perfunctory, borderline surly. Nice outdoor space for pups.

The food was great, the atmosphere was open and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly. Our car actually broke down out front, and one of the employees (manager maybe, or owner), tried every way she could to help us. The staff also allowed us in and out to use the facilities and stay hydrated. They offer a hand to the community around them, and we thank them for welcoming us into this community for a short period of time. Support your local businesses! read more

Great coffee, great pups. I did not get anything to eat this morning but the breakfast sandwiches and pastries were lookin' delish. Quick, friendly service and serving up local coffee (Jittery Joes). Yum! I love the huge backyard to watch the pups run around whilst waking up with your fave cup of joe. We need more of these! My friends live in the neighborhood and I think it's a great way to meet neighbs with dogs! There is an inside area for non-dog owning coffee connoisseurs and a patio between the cafe and the yard. Definitely recommend! read more

Holy shih tzu!!! This place is amazing! I love the new remodel and can not wait to see what they do with the fenced in dog area! I haven't been here in at least 5 years so kudos to the owner for really upgrading everything, it looks fantastic! Food and coffee have always been amazing and the fact I could always bring my dog with me made this place my go to. Great location beautiful new landscaping and a lot more tables and chairs for guests. Highly recommend to anyone with or without a pet! read more

Used to be better, or maybe it seemed better with less competition around. When you get used to the other dog friendly places having cold brew/nitro/ astro-turf and people to keep it clean...well, it's easy to become spoiled. As a coffee drinker, pretty much any place has better coffee. The last coffee was undrinkable. Also, lots of dirt so don't bring your freshly groomed dog here. While it's a great place for some, of you're discerning, and prefer a friendly staff , this will not be your cup of tea. read more

My favorite cafe ever!!! I love their coffee and pastries and getting to pet on some puppies is the cherry on top!!

Didn't have any issues with this place other than I should have known the ginger peach tea was sugarless. Good flavor but I'm not big on tea without some kind of sweetener. Decent sized area for dogs for a coffee shop. Definitely agree with the whole hit or miss on well behaved dogs and attentive owners. Lots of growling/barking piles of large running dogs. Didn't get a good look at the menu but some of the food pictures I saw on yelp looked great! Located in a quiet part of town and there is a fenced in patio where you can sit if you don't want piles of dogs running around you lol. No parking lot but you can find plenty of street parking if you drive around a bit read more

I live nearby but had not been to Parkgrounds until the recent revamp - I was pleasantly surprised! Ordered the vegan breakfast burrito and an iced tea; the burrito was great.

Decent place. Walkable is its biggest advantage. Otherwise, pricey and average. Open contempt from staff didn't help, but didn't really matter. Has a good spot for the dogs to play. 50/50 on the clientele, based on what I saw. read more

I've been here twice and will not go back. There is a sign on the door telling customers to watch their dogs, but that rule is not enforced. A dog climbed on my table and ate the pastry that was sitting there. The dog also jumped on me to get the remaining bits of the pastry when I stood up. The dog's owner was nowhere to be found and the staff was no help. I asked the barista if he knew how I could find the owner and he said, with his back turned to me, "I'm not going to be any help. I've been inside all day." It's not the staff's fault that someone's dog was misbehaving, but he could have made an announcement for the person with the brown dog to come get it or something. Also this place is DIRTY. A lot of mud and dirt, even on the tables and benches. Coffee was just alright and definitely did not make up for the unruly dogs. I would not recommend. Also, we could not connect to the WiFi. We asked the barista twice for the password and the network, but what he gave us didn't work. He was very unhelpful and didn't seem to care. Who goes to a coffee shop when without WiFi? What a waste of a trip! read more
