Interior
Welexi H.

At The Ground A Bout Coffee Shop in Cape Girardeau, MO, I had my first Turkish latte after noticing its popularity among other customers. The drink was a 10/10 , with its strong, rich coffee flavor enhanced by cardamom and house-made cinnamon syrup. The service was pleasant, and the interior was charmingly decorated with coffee cloth bags, adding a cozy and authentic touch to the atmosphere. You can bring your dogs, enjoy reading or catching up with friends.

My family and I really enjoyed this quaint coffee shop in Downtown Cape. We tried a variety of their breakfasts including the burrito, BLT, waffle flight, and chicken & waffles. All were delicious. The salted caramel latte (both iced and hot) were delicious. I also really enjoyed the chai latte with just a hint of spice. If I'm back in the area I will come back to try other menu items. Staff were great, especially the barista he was kind and helpful. The inside is perfect for working, reading or catching up with friends! Parking: street parking is plenty and available right outside the shop. Accessibility: getting in there is a small ledge. They have one stall large bathrooms. The space between tables and area near the counter is slightly narrow.

Conveniently located downtown, The Ground About has a cool, old school vibe. It was a busy Friday morning when we passed through, but we were greeted warmly and not rushed when it was our turn to order. I ordered a decaf oat milk vanilla latte that was tasty as expected. Unfortunately, they had no gluten free items on the food menu for me. My partner ordered a burrito bowl that he enjoyed, along with a black coffee. We'd stop in for coffee again.

Fantastic place here. came here with my current girlfriend (future wife) and we had their brunch. I got the Turkish Latte and she got the Chai Latte. Both were scrumptious (hers was very sweet). I love a cinnamon coffee so I was quite satisfied as I usually get the salted caramel latte (also very good. better hot though!) We got the chorizo breakfast burrito and as the people of the block may tell you, I'm not a breakfast burrito cheerleader, but this one was very good in my book. service was, as always, quick and lovely. this is a good place and we will be returning.

Great cute cafe in historic Cape Marquette Hotel building. Worth checking out adjacent historic restored hotel lobby which now serves as an office building. Famous guests who stayed here. are listed in the attached photo and more info historical info I'm an be found throughout the lobby. Fresh roasted coffee breakfast sandwiches and pastries as shown on menu photo attached. Incredible service

Peppermint cold foam cold brew.

Ordered a cold brew with peppermint and the barista suggested the cold brew with peppermint cold foam. She was told that I didn't like sugar and also liked my coffee black, she said the cold foam just drips down and adds a little flavor and sugar and she'd only put on a little bit, so i ordered it. The cold brew ended up being lighter than the latte that was also ordered. It tasted like a McDonalds coffee... all cream and sugar. I went back and ordered a cold brew with just peppermint and told the barista it was way too sweet and light. She remembered my name and then said, oh sorry, that was probably my fault. Then proceeds to charge me for the coffee I had originally asked for because the one she suggested was horrible. Good customer service would have replaced the original drink that was supposed to be a touch of cold foam and ended up being all cream. Otherwise clean establishment with good food and ambiance.

This is what they call gravy!

I placed an order through doordash today and ordered some biscuits and gravy. What I received was not even remotely akin to what you would call gravy. It was extremely runny and had seperated out with a thick layer of grease on top and dripping from the container. I don't believe there was any flour added to the gravy as the concoction lacked any thickness. The biscuits were obviously microwaved too. Steer clear of this place if you are in search of edible food!

They give a pleasant atmosphere, although it does feel eclectic and slightly disorganized-but it has nothing to do with the food or service! We had got beignets and they came out with enough powdered sugar for me to pack a ziploc bag full, which is a bit much, but it was delicious regardless. Light fluffy and sweet like they should be!

Be patient when you come here. I could tell this was a small family run place that is still their…read morebearings. That being said, it was just ok. The beignets were actually great. Fried perfectly and with the delicious chocolate or raspberry sauce I thought were both amazing. My breakfast bowl was just mediocre. It had all the makings of a great dish but lacked some seasoning and better balanced proportions. About 80% of the dish was just hashbrowns and tater tots, way too much to stomach. The Texas toast was also lackluster, feeling under toasted and small for what's typical of that side. I also ordered the Fruity Tootie which was to liquidy and had too many chia seeds. My sister ordered the breakfast croissant which she didn't finish. It had a dry croissant with not enough meat or cheese on it. Plus a mound of overcooked tater tots. This place could be great, but at the moment it's not.
