    I was on my way to lunch in Meridian today. I haven't had my caffeinated beverage yet so I stopped into Primitive Grounds. It was on the corner in this neighborhood. I almost missed it when I turned the corner. I have never been to a coffee food truck type stand before. It's a pretty cool set up. Walking up, I see there's plenty of outdoor seating. Pretty potted flowers. It was nicely shaded at the stand so it easy to read thier menu boards. They offer a ton of drinks and baked goodies. As much as I wanted to step out of the box, I got my usual Americano. I appreciate that they have organic syrups here. They even have sugar free organic syrups . I have been to a couple local coffee joints who only serve organic syrups with no sugar free options. You feel almost frowned upon for even asking. Primitive Grounds is not the case! They offer 3 sugar options. So, today was my normal small iced americano with sugar free vanilla and cream. I got my drink ordered by the sweet gal behind the window and checked out the menu while it was being made. Wow! I got an an amazing americano today. It was balanced in espresso, vanilla and cream. The coloring was perfect! You can tell by looking at it that the espresso wasn't watered down. It had the perfect amount of half and half. I did add a couple of blue packets, I do like my drink sweeter. Perfection! It was great stopping at this little local coffee joint. The staff was really sweet! The venue is chill and nice. I appreciate the shaded areas so the sun isn't beating down on you while you're enjoying your drink. They pushed out a fabulous iced americano. I look forward to coming back if I'm ever in the area again. A must go to for your caffeinated drink if you're in Meridian.

    I wanted to give 5 stars but I'm not sure do I like the place or not. Don't get me wrong food and drinks were amazing! I'm glad we came earlier before there's a line. We went around 10am and there were two people working in there. The lady in there took our order was nice. But when we try to order the food, pretty much there's nothing left. Like literally nothing but only one or two items on the menu, out of many many items in there. So we ended up getting the last Nutella croissant and KOUIGN AMANN. But ended up being told they don't have Nutella croissant anymore after we ordered. Just felt like a crappy experience lowkey. When she took the order was a tad bit slow, so there was a long line waiting. Not saying it has to be like Starbucks or anything like that of course!! They ended up giving us two free cake pops, didn't really get to try it since I'm not a huge fan of cake pop but sweet of them giving it to us! For the KOUIGN AMANN, it tasted delicious!!! It's tasted very fresh!!! The only thing I didn't like is how this shaped and how hard it is to bite it. It's like stabbing my gum with each bite. I got wild rose coffee and I love it so much!! At first to me it smelled like chai, but my husband said it smelled like floral. Maybe we have different nose sense! But when I drank it, it's not tooo sweet and my mouth filled with floral favors! I'm obsessed with this drink. And somehow I think this drink is so strong my hands started shaking but maybe because I got 20oz. It got me hopping around doing bridesmaids duty all day! They were working some small maintenance work behind the truck but very close to the chairs-ish. When they flipped something there were dust and sand flying over to our side and thank god all our food weren't opened at that moment. It's super easy to find parking, it's just street parking and it's not even filled. So yeah overall I'm not sure do I like the experience or not but I do really love my drink!!

    I've been going to Primitive Grounds since they first opened and have really enjoyed watching them grow. Their coffee has always been smooth and well-crafted. Over the past month, though, my last few visits haven't quite reflected the quality I've come to expect. I've noticed some new faces, so I'm hopeful this is just a brief training phase. I still recommend giving them a visit, if you find yourself in the area.

    Cute little coffee food truck near Downtown Meridian. Has a nice outside seating area as well. I got the iced New Moon and my husband got the iced Mellow Mood, both mochas. Pretty decent, although I'm interested to try them hot as I think the flavors got masked a bit by the ice and milk. The Mellow Mood, in particular, didn't really taste like a mocha -- chocolate is waaaay too subtle. Baked goods were from a bakery they partner with, and those are just okay. Great people though!

    Wild Rose Latte The oat milk matches the rose well, it's nutty with a good rose aroma.

    Cute area but really slow service. And coffee is pretty weak. If you don't want to wait 15 minutes go somewhere else.

    My husband and I were dinking around town on our day off so we decided to hit up The Collector's…read moreOutpost. My husband has been a fan of comics since his youth. Bat Man and Marvel comics were his go to. So, coming to this joint only made sense. Yoooooo, this has to be one of the dopest comic book stores around! As soon as you walk in, everything catches your eye! You have Deadpool right at the door. You have beautiful display cases with the most realistic characters in them. Funko Pops nicely organized on shelves. Comic books neatly arranged in bins nicely labeled. It truly is a prestine store. We looked around for a bit. I was just in awww at how cool everything was. My husband was mainly doing the looking. He didn't really find anything that caught his eye. He has a pretty good collection but didn't find what he was specifically looking for. All good cause there's always next time! The gentleman that was working today was really nice! Even though he was mid conversation with another customer, he still greeted us! Very loudly and happily too! The set up of this joint is cool! And the fact that they serve coffee here so you can chill and read a comic is dope. I wouldn't mind sipping on a coffee chilling with my husband while he's vibing to a comic. We both look forward to coming back and seeing what kind of new displays and comics they have.

This happened to be across the…read morestreet from my hotel and wanted to support local owned business and NOT a Starbucks or chain. A double shot espresso and a medium house drip coffee totaled $4.35! I had to double check with the barista to ensure that was the correct total, and YES THAT WAS MY TOTAL!!! I wished I had a more time to check out their comic selection, but that will have to be on my next visit. BTW: The house coffee was smooth with a nice nutty flavor (no sweetener or creamer used). My daughter also enjoyed her double espresso shots which sparked her game play during her volleyball match. Now I wished I lived closer to Boise.
