I know whatever it's going to be, it's going to be incredible.

It was extremely grainy. I can see all the powder at the bottom of my cup. I couldn't drink it. I haven't had many great experiences but continue to give it a try. They need to hire better staff that cares about the customers.

There are a plethora of options to eat, which include both baked goods and pastries typical of a cafe but also food options available as well. I was pleased by the healthy and tasty patty options I had and I was even more pleased by the service. There is an outdoor seating area in the back that should be completely open for seating as well. This is a great spot for work and chill.

Such a cute, small cafe in Bergen Beach!…read more We were in search of a new local coffee spot and decided to give Highly Grounded a try. We loved their house made syrups - they tasted fresh & you're definitely able to tell it isn't the cheap store bought stuff. During this visit we tried the Suavemente Latte & Raspberry Mocha - both had the perfect amount of sweetness and were the perfect morning pick-me-up. For the price, it's comparable to a large chain coffee shop like Starbucks, but I would much rather support local (like this one!)

Without a doubt, this has to be one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had at a coffee bar ever…read moreand I am not exaggerating. The vibe was chill and barista/owner could not have been nicer. He was giving me little coffee samples along with telling me about the different types of coffee they offered. He literally could teach a master class in coffee. Such a wonderful human being. I ended up getting a lightly iced Suave Mente, which was 2 shots of espresso, a heaping spoonful of Nutella and steamed milk of your choice. I chose oat milk. The texture was perfectly frothy, just the way I like it and the taste was smooth, sweet and sublime. I plan on returning to buy a bag of the local coffee beans to French press at home and try a slice of the lemon almond cake that looked wonderful. Great experience here today.

Another person walked near where I was standing and asked if they could help me. I asked her the flavor of a particular cake, then selected the cake I wanted. She asked if I wanted happy birthday on it and I told her yes. She asked the cashier if she could ring me up. She asked if I was paying cash or card, I told her cash. I gave her the money, she gave me back my change then walked away from the register and went in the back, she never said thank or anything else. The young lady that was helping me put my cake in a bag and thanked me for coming in. I asked her name because she was very polite and displayed great customer service. Her name was Angelica.

Now in my opinion it's at best-of-three star bakery Café ; everything changes new owner he's not so friendly prices are through the roof; the staff that he has he's very blessed because they are very professional friendly and fast..... Coffee is fantastic; their baked items are very good; prices are insane..... I get it we all know that inflation is up everywhere & on everything but a cup of coffee and my favorite a tea biscuit toasted with butter and jelly $7.00 that's insane.. I still patronize this business on special occasions and holidays like i said all their bakery items are good but for a everyday breakfast stop definitely not.... They do offer Breakfast & Lunch they have a full kitchen & menu; They do have plenty of seating; Parking out front on the boulevard it's a hit or miss; we have commercial trucks so we can't use their parking lot in the rear....
