Higher Grounds Coffee — Restaurant in Richmond

Service was fine, not bad. We were probably both a little sleepy. I hadn’t had any coffee yet. Atmosphere was cute. I love that they had matcha and gluten free options for my daughter, who wasn’t with me but I’m always looking for yummy places to bring her.

The EMT is just that, loaded with cream cheese, bacon, and tomato. Exactly that and that’s ok. It’s got a ton of great reviews but in my opinion it could use less cream cheese and add an egg. I don’t give negative reviews because I don’t like the way something tastes since everyone has their own opinions on that.

However, when I received the Loaded Avocado Toast which description includes and an egg and I just got a few egg crumbles that’s just not right. The name and description suggest there will be at least a full egg. It was loaded with chunks of onion. That’s about it. There was more onion than egg. The avocado spread was a sliver of on each side. I should have taken a picture but I was hungry, so I came home, took off the onions, added some hot sauce.

I will give it another try. Obviously I ordered the wrong things for my taste-buds. I will build my sandwich next time. I wish they had sugar in the raw as a sweetener. I will bring my to review the gluten free bread and matcha. The sweets looked good, but I was just trying to get my protein in and that...

My wife loves the EMT sandwiches, Lately I have been fond of the cappuccinos and the cold brew. They have some seasonal items and baked goods. The food is good, it won't change your life, but it tastes good and has been consistent. I would like to see some more unique food offerings, maybe more more veggie options.

The service and vibe here is where Higher Grounds shines. The staff is very friendly and the owners/managers are engaging and pleasant. I started coming here cause it was the only indie coffee shop in town, but I continue to come here cause the vibes are great and the...

I've been to this lovely little coffee shop twice now, and each time I've enjoyed a perfect latte and a fresh-made baked good. The atmosphere is perfect, it's squeaky clean and the owners/operators are just the sweetest! I absolutely love the attention to details here! They make their own coffee flavorings with quality ingredients, they keep fresh and interesting baked goods with a wonderful gluten free selection made fresh daily. I will continue to make excuses to pop over to Higher Grounds for my quality caffeine fix and...
