Blooming Grounds Coffee House — Restaurant in Winona

A Gluten-Free Panini Paradise with Perfect Coffee! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blooming Grounds Coffee House in Winona, MN, is an absolute gem, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and relaxing, making it the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends.

But let's talk about the food, specifically their gluten-free paninis – they are an absolute game-changer! As someone who often struggles with dry, crumbly gluten-free bread, I was absolutely thrilled to discover that Blooming Grounds uses a gluten-free bread that is soft, moist, perfectly pressed, and wonderfully warm. It's truly the best gluten-free panini bread I've ever had, making for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Beyond the fantastic food, their coffee is top-notch. The espresso is strong yet incredibly smooth, a perfect pick-me-up. And for those with dietary restrictions, they offer a great variety of sugar-free options, which is a huge plus.

To top it all off, the service was wonderfully quick and efficient, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. Blooming Grounds Coffee House has truly mastered the art of creating a fantastic coffee shop experience, especially for those of us seeking delicious and thoughtfully prepared gluten-free options.

This was our first visit to Blooming Grounds Coffee. We made a 35 minute drive to try it out. My husband and I both ordered the Galaxy Latte. The server taking our order was writing on the cups she dropped one on the floor. Then the other server making the coffee picked it up off the floor and used it for either mine or my husband's drink. We both didn't care for the drink and thought it was lacking in flavor. Besides the fact that they used a cup from the floor. We also ordered some breakfast bagles. I ordered mine with veggies add mushrooms and my husband got his with sausage. We were told it would only be a 10 minute wait and we waited at least 20 minutes if not longer. My bagel had only mushrooms on it that were uncooked. I had expected the veggies to be cooked (not a big deal). I had ok take it back to inside to have them add the other veggies that I had paid extra for. We both thought the bagles were lacking and were really unsatisfied with what we had ordered. We paid 36$ for two lattes and bagles including tip. On a side note I also ordered some macaroons on a separate order and they were really good. I tried to speak to a manager in the store about this and I tired yo call and I was given an email. No one responded to me about our visit. I do not...

I love exploring new coffee shops on Sundays, and being out of town didn’t change that! During my visit the weekend of Valentine’s, this charming café was our last stop before heading home—and I’m so glad we made it.

The service was truly outstanding; when my first drink choice wasn’t quite what I expected, they kindly offered to remake it at no extra charge, which I really appreciated.

The shop had a lively, bustling atmosphere, a testament to how popular it is with locals and visitors alike. The quality of both the food and drinks was great, and while I usually enjoy a quieter setting for work or study, I’d love to come back during a slower time to fully soak in the cozy ambiance. If you're in town, this spot is definitely worth a visit!
