Grooveground Coffeebar — Restaurant in Collingswood

When we went in to order, we ordered coffee and two egg sandwiches. The coffee was fine. We waited and waited. Aound 30 minutes for sandwiches. The thought was, maybe they either forgot or they were making stuff fresh. But by 30 minutes, we kind of thought it was a little ridiculous for two sandwiches.

Me and my girlfriend are non-confrontational, but she went up to see what was up. The girl behind the counter was busy chatting with I can only imagine her are her friends or regulars about unrelated things. So my girlfriend stands in this makeshift line for about 10 minutes. They finally notice her and then she asks about our food. It turns out that the only other two people sitting down in the restaurant besides us, we're served our sandwiches. the funny thing is we watch them be served these and we put it together because we saw that they had confused looks on their faces. But they took them anyway.

So we waited another 10 to 15 minutes for two more sandwiches, and when we receive them there was maybe a half a strip of bacon on both of them and it was definitely nothing to write home about. I could have went home, made a better sandwich for pennies, and not had the experience at all.

And the coffee was average. I never left a review, but I feel like I should just because of the way we weren't treated as paying customers. And this is coming from a person who, if you slapped him, would somehow reason it to be his own fault. And a couple that never complains because we've waited and served, and know that it can be hard. But it's one thing to mess up something, and it's another thing to come off as we're making a big hassle for you to...

Groveground is one of the best coffee shops in the area. They pride themselves on the quality of the coffee, lattes, pastries, small plates they serve, and of course their customer service. Additionally, they offer great seasonal coffees and food specials. Honestly, Groveground hits the mark on all of them!

Groveground is a small space, so seating can be limited. However, during the spring, summer and fall, it has one of the best outdoor seating areas available! They also have a small parking lot right next door to the shop, but don't get your hopes up. There is plenty of street parking (both free and metered) within easy walking distance.

The only thing I think Groveground could work on is their Rewards Card offering. It is free to join, but only gives you $1.00 off after spending $25.00 at the shop. I don't think it is too much to giveaway a free coffee nowadays, but hey, a $1.00 off is a $1.00 off.

If you have not tried and/or made Groveground your daily or weekly coffee spot by now, you are...

Follow up review: Since my first review, below, we have been back here twice. The second time I went the drink was not as good. Today it was as good as the first time we went.

However, I need to add a few things to this review. I use a walker and an electronic scooter to get around and it was very challenging getting in, out, and around inside the store.

Also, I ordered a muffin which I hesitated to taste because right after I ordered it I noticed that there were flies in the case. Next, the condition of the furniture is terrible and it is visibly filthy. If you look around the shop while sitting there you can’t help but notice how dirty the floor and walls are.

I can only hope that the area where they make these amazing drinks is cleaner than everywhere else in this place.

Original Review This was the best Carmel macchiato that I have ever had. The place was nice, the people were very attentive. I will...
