Adorable coffee shop in the heart of downtown Frankfort. The shop might be small but has charm to it. They serve do rite donuts which is a plus. Their espresso was smooth with a little creamy texture to it. Prices is average which was just under $7 altogether but most of it was from the donut which costed $4.

Very cozy, and great coffee! Their London Fogs are very good as well. I love that they have oat milk. There is a small selection of food items, which I hope will continue to grow. There is very limited seating, so it can be hard to find an empty spot while it’s busy, but the decor is beautiful and cozy and the staff are always so friendly.

The owner and staff are amazing!!! It was a great place to relax with a very nice atmosphere. They recommended an Oatmeal pumpkin latte and it was great. If your ever in the area you must take the time and try it out. You will love it!!!

This place is a gem! If you’re a coffee lover (like myself) definitely check this spot out. Not only is this place super adorable and aesthetically pleasing, the coffee is amazing. It’s located right in downtown Frankfort. There’s some other cute shops around too. If you’re walking around downtown Frankfort, stop in for some coffee you won’t regret it!!

This is a great place to get a coffee and get work done. They serve Intelligentsia here, which I am a fan of. Staff is friendly and coffee is good. I would recommend this to anyone in the area.

Cute little cafe. I wish there were more in the area! Very good latte (hot or iced), and Ive had a couple baked items and never been disappointed.Not the most comfortable or greatest amount of seating, but I like the little bar at the window where you can look out at the street. And if its nice weather the seating outside is a lovely spot to look on the main square, especially when the leaves change in the fall.

Cute and trendy coffee shop! What makes this place so great is the kind staff and service! Hands down the best coffee and iced tea I’ve ever had. I highly recommend Grounded to all my friends and family. I can’t forget the pastries and dedication to them....picked up in Chicago from Aya and Do-Rite DAILY! I wish there was more locations!

Grounded is a charming, “new-old” feel spot to grab a freshly brewed cup of carefully selected Intelligentsia roasted coffee or espresso. The lemon poppyseed muffins are a perfect compliment, and are a little bite of heaven, balanced sweet and lemony, and just right richness. As a new business in downtown Frankfort, the coffee shop is a welcome addition to the variety of food and beverage options. Thank you for bringing the roasted wonder of Intelligentsia coffee to our little downtown!

I love this place!!! But... I feel it should be open later than 3:00 or 4:00pm. By the time people get off work they can’t stop by and get a nice coffee and have to go to half as good Starbucks/:

Best coffee in town! Brings the Chicago style coffee shop to the suburbs. Ive tried almost all the beverages from their menu and have never been dissapointed. Nice, very personable staff and devoted owner. If you are in downtown Frankfort it is a must stop!

Ive gone here a couple times since they opened this year. The atmosphere is cozy and unlike anything in the area. The staff are nice, and not to mention FAST!!! The reason that I give this place 4☆ is because the coffee that they use. Intelegencia is alright for some people but for the roast selection that this place uses, it just doesnt work... Id suggest partnering with local roasters

I was very excited to finally find a small, locally owned coffee shop in the area. The atmosphere is very trendy and the decor is very contemporary. The coffee shop it’s self is very small and has limited seating. I actually found it hard to find the door to get to the coffee shop. When we walked in we weren’t greeted when we came to the register, which I really don’t find surprising nowadays. Members of my family have some allergies and that we asked the ingredients of the baked goods and the person we talk to you have no idea so he seems to go ask a supervisor. Not sure if it was the owner or manager, but that person didn’t even know what the ingredients of the bacon they were selling were. All they could do was say we get them from a bakery in Oak Park so we have no idea. For a business I find that to be a very poor answer. I was shocked to find that the largest size latte that they offer was very small (looked about 12oz.) and it was a bit over priced for the size. I asked for light flavor and the latte and it was extremely sweet. It also just seems like a cup of coffee with the milk added to it as creamer. There was zero foam on the top. Traditional lattes have steamed milk that are topped with foam. I gave this place three stars in hopes that my next visit they can redeem themselves by knowing the ingredients of their baked goods and working on their espresso drink skills.

This coffee shop looks like it has a cool vibe but they only have 2 people working on Saturday mornings. Waited in line for about 20 minutes for a cold brew coffee which was really bitter. Wouldn’t go back here or recommend to family or friends.

Review №41

Coffee was okay. If youre into flavored iced lattes, then I guess its good for that. But other than that... drip coffee and espresso was super weak. For having Intelligentsia coffee, I was expecting more. Probably wont go back unless someone asks me to meet them there.
