My husband and I were out looking for a late in the day pick-me-up. We first visited Moka, and spent 14.00 something on our coffee. As soon as we took our first sip, we were met with a bitter and old taste. We immediately threw those out and headed home. We happen to live on the same street that Global Grounds is located on. We decided last minute to ride down there and see if they were open and they were. We ordered two small coffees, one cappuccino and a macchiato. Wow! Great coffee! I was really surprised at how tame and smooth their coffee is. I noticed inside that not only was this place really nice atmosphere wise, there is also a little reading nook located inside this coffee shop right in the window area with live plants and adorable decorations.

The vibes are great and the staff was for the most part super kind and helpful. I recommend you...
