"It's 9 o clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in ..." And though it hasn't been open…read morethat long, it did seem as though there already were regulars, as well as newbies filling up Holy Grounds -- as well as the parking lot and surrounding streets this past Saturday morning. What went well? Delicious latte and cinnamon roulade. Im not a big fan of cinnamon, and the roulade had the perfect light touch -- both with the cinnamon and in the flaky pastry. Staff is friendly, and orders are filled quickly. Everything is really clean and fresh, and the outdoor space during the waning days of summer and impending autumn is quite inviting. What might not be so nice? This Place is quite large ... but does not have sufficient parking for the weekend surge, nor does it have much room for turning around once you've unfortunately committed to that already full lot. Park on the street to avoid the hassle. Enter the shop and you're smack in the middle of the line to order. It's a little disconcerting as folks in line want to leave the doorway space clear for entrance and exit, but then folks coming in arent sure where to go to actually get in line. Maybe a velvet rope and arrow to direct traffic? Again, this place is quite large -- with very high ceilings. That means it's LOUD, not exactly a cozy coffee vibe. I thought I'd heard they do Bible studies here during the week. That sounded lovely, until I found myself leaning over the counter each time the barista asked me a question because I had no clue what she was saying. How would that study work when you are constantly raising your voice to be heard? Finally, though my roulade was delish, as was my friend's (ugh) pumpkin spice latte, her iced pumpkin bread left much to be desired. The icing was cracked and falling off and the center of the slice still was cold, suggesting "fresh" from the freezer, despite having been warmed behind the counter. I bet this turns into quite the gathering place. I'd visit again, but on a nice day when I can sit outside. Sorry, no pics this time!

I was taking a walk in the Old Market and saw a friend. She was so excited about a tea drink she…read morewas holding and enthusiastically recommended me to stop in this new place. I'm so glad I did. Smells amazing; and the people here are so nice. So I came in for a cup of this amazing tea. It's called Paris Fog, however the staff kindly pointed out that that selection is highly caffeinated, and since it's almost 3pm I couldn't do that so I got a nice Jasmine Green instead. Will come back in a morning to try the other one.

It's a good size for a place to come hang out with a few people, there are tables and couches for seating. They have a bar and small cafe area in front offering pastries and small bites, coffee, tea, and alcoholic drink options. I saw many people come in to study or read, people coming in to chat and hang out for a bit, which is what my friend and I were there for. I opted for an espresso martini, and I was told ahead of time it's a bit sweeter and creamier than the usual one, a very helpful tip. I wanted to try it anyways even though I'm not a fan of sweet and creamy espresso martinis. It was good, a fun little sip, but I wouldn't have it again. My friend got a winter special, sea salt shaken espresso, which she loved. The bookstore area has a kids section and a play area. There are several different genres offered and books both new and pre-loved. They even have a sale section! They have merch including store merch, plus earrings, candles, etc. One of my favorite parts were the blind date with book packages, they were packaged so nicely and looked so fun. I'm planning to get one for an upcoming Galentine's Day gift exchange!

The filling was very loose in several and the flavor wasn't nuanced anymore. It was overpowering and didn't deliver what was promised and it's not cheap. I'm very sad they changed the original process or are buying cheaper supplies under the new ownership. They also don't give you a paper menu with pictures that match flavor. You have a cheap unevenly cut paper with QR code. That's not good for older people. The boxes are also much cheaper and see through. Less upscale for price.
