Elevated Grounds Coffee and Espresso — Restaurant in Lindon

This coffee shop is such an absolute GEM! Utah County is so lucky to have it. The coffee here is absolutely stellar, and it’s strong, and delicious… no matter what I’ve ordered, I’ve always been so pleased with it! Even when I order something as simple (and honesty, easy to mess up bc espresso) as an Americano. (Also, the sandwiches are surprisingly delicious—try the PMT, it’s perfection!)

As far as atmosphere goes, the vibes here are cozy and welcoming. ❤️ It’s a smaller place, so there’s not as much seating as you’d likely find in a larger shop, but there’s always been plenty of space for everyone. The owner of this shop is also super active in and supportive of the community—I love going in and seeing all the cute and wonderful things that local vendors have made, that Elevated Grounds gives a place to.

This is one of the kindest, most inclusive places I’ve been to, and it feels like the more I go the better it all gets. It’s clear that this place is a labor of LOVE, and that means so much to see and be...

Elevated Grounds is a whole wreck -

The owner, Nikki, is extremely passive aggressive and harmful to the overall work environment. She will gaslight and manipulate her employees. She underpays them and expects work to be done faster than humanly possible. When problems in service are pointed out by another employee, she will ignore it entirely. She will also refuse to use AC on the weekends, instead having the employees use swamp coolers that barely work (this leaves the room at about 90 degrees or hotter in the summer).

The baristas are amazing but, per Nikki's instruction, they don't follow food safety guidelines (wearing gloves when making food, etc.). The overall quality of service is very poor, and most everything sold here can be purchased at another local coffee shop where your money will be put to good use and given to good people.

Until these problems are fixed, I would recommend...

loved coming to elevated grounds! this is a comfortable and cozy local spot, and you can tell the baristas take pride in the environment they create. i seriously love to see it!! support local businesses!!! they have a variety of lotus energy drinks which i was excited for and got the caramel apple with sf energy, and they have tons of other coffee and espresso based drinks, tea, smoothies, matcha, chai, even italian sodas and hot cocoa. my bf ordered an iced hazelnut iced latte and it was delish. most importantly we needed food when we came in and we ordered 2 of the turkey bacon avocado bagel sandwiches. they hit the spot! so fresh and so yummyy. the baristas were also incredibly kind and helpful. i love that the shop carries local vendors and artists and the decor is super cute and personalized. we will definitely be coming back, i loved it! ps the music being played...
