    This is a great location for a relaxing experience! It’s Huge and there’s a ton of seating inside and out, as well as upstairs (indoors and outdoors) All of the proceeds go to non profit organizations + it’s much cheaper than your name brand coffee shops

    Ordered a lavender latter and a white chocolate mocha, both were divine and very affordable. Will definitely be back.

    Great space and delicious coffee! They helped me out with a big office order for Cornerstone Health Center. Their book selections are pretty great to browse through in the bookstore section. Little area for children too. Coffee was spot on!

    Stopped in here for coffees on a recent trip to Charlotte, NC. Good coffee, great customer service and great atmosphere. Loved the Cafe and the Bookstore. Will definitely return again and would certainly recommend.

    Such an amazing place. I wanted to find a coffee shop in the area that wasn’t Starbucks for a really great latte and a decent sittting area where I could do a little work on my laptop. This place far exceeded my expectations. The coffee was amazing and the barista, Lauren, was an absolutely gem. She was so friendly and eager to help and it was so nice chatting with her. The sitting area is huge and there is even an upstairs that has even more places to sit .There are a variety of comfy couches and chairs along with large tables great for getting work done. The bookstore is so cute. Another great thing I learned about this place is that all the proceeds go to good causes, one of them being an orphanage. The entire place is extremely clean and well kept and you just get a really great feeling being there. I will definitely be going back every time I’m in the area.

    The Grounds has the best coffee in the area and always has open seating during the week. Really great workspace for students or people looking for a good wifi connection. Prices are lower than other coffee shops, too!

    This coffee shop is at the Meck Church, and we go there for the great coffee and the atmosphere. It's a great place to meet friends, they have a more than competent barista (knows what a flat white is), and the prices are better than you find at most other coffee shops, as it is non-profit where the proceeds go to support the church's missions. Highly recommended!

    I arranged to meet a client here. I thought this was a storefront, but I was in for a surprise!! This is a Christian bookstore and café connected to a church. It is very cozy, welcoming and comfortable. They have table, seating, as well as couches and lounge areas. My client and I met during the Christmas holiday season and it was very beautiful. I will definitely meet with clients here again.

    The atmosphere is amazing and the people are incredibly kind. I’m also pretty sure the drinks are served at cost! (Easily $2-3 less per drink than anywhere else in town)! This is definitely a ministry and I’m all about it.

    Hands down the best Coffee Shop in Charlotte! Not only do they have incredible baristas, but you aren't going to find this high quality of coffee for such a cheap price. Not to mention, all proceeds go towards helping people around the world. They have super fast FREE WiFi, calming music, and plenty of seating (both at tables and on comfy couches). 10/10 recommend the Grounds!

    I stopped by here today to study and work on some assignments. I found the location on Google and it is beautiful. Lots of natural light but also not crowded like Starbucks or any other coffee shop. Julia, a worker at the Cafe, was so nice and very helpful. I plan on recommending this place to all of my friends.

    This is my favorite coffee shop in Charlotte and I am very lucky to be able to work from it most days. The coffee is wonderful and their seasonal options are so fun!

    This place is amazing! The coffee and baked goods are fabulous and reasonably priced. The baristas are very kind and friendly. Tons of spacious seating so that you never feel like you're on top of other patrons. As if that wasn't enough, there is a small area for kids to play that is set up like a miniature coffee shop! Super cute! All proceeds go back into the community - baristas are all volunteers so bring a couple bucks for the tip jar.
