No matter, we were there before 11AM so we were served breakfast. The server we had was excellent she was a former employee of the Coffee Break which was the old restaurant in this location. The place is LOUD. The decor is new and refreshed. There is NO WHEEL CHAIR ACCESS (which surprised me as they just renovated the place. One would think the Town of Clinton would have required it.) I had the Breakfast Wrap with sausage and american cheese. It was good and filling. $7.00 (in May 2026) My companion had the Quinoa Omelette pictured 1/2 eaten ($14.75 in May 2026) which was good. The home fries had a little too much salt but were otherwise excellent. Personally when there is salt actually on the table, I always wonder why the cook just lightly dusts with salt as I can add more. We also ordered a fresh fruit cup which had grapes purple and green, strawberries, and a few hard pieces of honey dew melon. $6.50 (May 2026) In May 2026 the hours are 0700-1430 MON - SAT 0700-1200 SUN ****WARNING**** They stop servicing breakfast items at 11AM They do take credit cards BUT... They used to take it right at the table now, they don't which means you wait to pay. Bad move on the owner's part. There is plenty of free parking. I imagine there will be waits once the summer season gets going so plan to wait (maybe on the weekends)?

I found the imported and homeland cheese selection to be quite extensive. All of my favorites plus plus plus. Carson served me as I chose a few different cheese, bread and meat items with tastes along the way. I also met Christine who is the shop owner and had a great exchange with her. The store was well stocked with specialty foods, gift items and lots of holiday paper napkins. I went in for cheese knives and found a nice selection to choose from. There were still lots of table/kitchen/dining items even though it was right after we rang in the new year. I definitely be back for more!

It's in an historic building and also offers free ukulele workshops by one of the co-founders of the café (which I didn't get to see, lol). His handcrafted banjolike instruments - made out of tin boxes, wood, and bent quarters - are also offered for fun and for sale. I think I saw an Altoids guitar for $50. The soup of the day (tomato basil) was really good, but the fresh-baked BREAD is what really got me! And I'm not usually a bread person. Keep in mind they close at 3.

I prefer it to be made from Single Origin beans, from places like Africa that have bright flavor profiles. And I prefer a medium light roast that highlights the quality of the bean. Most places make their iced coffee from blends and medium dark or dark roast levels. Grounded Coffee Co is the rare CT coffee shop that made my iced coffee with an Ethiopian Single Origin roasted by Ilse. Ilse, a North Canaan, CT, was not on my radar. They are now. This was one of the best iced coffees I've had from a shop all year. And it matched my preferences. Grounded is small, but the shop was cute, had some inside seating, and seemed to have an outside seating area, although I did not go out back to see it. Service was friendly and helpful. Very impressed with this visit experience. Five Stars.

Some old staff and some new staff, sometimes the espresso is better than other times but you gotta learn somewhere so- I get it.
