Grounded Coffee

Visited at 7am on a Tuesday morning with a completely fried brain. I knew I needed caffeine for school today but really didn't want to fight through a Starbucks line for a super sweet drink or get an okay-ish coffee from Just Love Coffee Madison. There was 1 other person inside and 2 people in the drive thru which was surprising considering the amount of traffic on County Line Rd :) They had some muffins pre-bagged to get hurry the line along which I thought was smart. My muffin was not placed in an oven but was still warm from how fresh it was. Crispy outside and soft inside. Like I said I was super tired so I forgot to order it with oatmilk but the lady inside made sure to double check the type of milk with me which is awesome! They have a very unique blend of coffee beans here that really shines through but isnt overbearing (as a coffee lover). I was there maybe 5 or 6 minutes MAX. New favorite coffee place. :)

This is a very simple coffee place. They don't have a bunch of overly sugary specialty drinks- go to chains for that. Grounded Coffee has a small menu, but everything seems to be executed near perfectly. The cold brew, while simple, is some of the best I've ever had.

And please, please get a blueberry muffin warmed up. I'm a baker, and I've never had a better blueberry muffin than theirs. I am not from here, but every time I visit I'll be back to them.

Muffin was moist and delicious. Staff was helpful and friendly. Nice options to enjoy your food and beverage - a few cushioned chairs with a coffee table or plenty of 2-top table/chair sets throughout. Could possibly get loud, since it's a concrete floor.

I always enjoy coming here, it's a great little place to enjoy coffee (cortado) on your own or with company! They don't have much as far as food goes, some baked goods (muffins/cookies/maybe fudge or brownies). But their coffee and espresso menu is the best I've found in Madison so far! They take their time and make things as you order them, their espresso is smooth never bitter! And the atmosphere is always great, a good mix between multiple conversations at once but can still take a phone call and hear yourself think 😉

I don’t live in Madison, just here for a sports event. Stopped for a caffeine pick me up. This is probably the best cup of coffee I’ve had in years! Kudos!

Always a pleasant experience. The employees are coffee knowledgeable, the pastries are fresh, and the espresso and drip coffee are both quite tasty. I just wish they stayed open a bit later.

I had their Caramel Latte, it was exceptional. Milk perfectlly frothed, coffee not burnt, good cup size with a comfortable sipping handle. Not much in the way of parking and be careful of the one way street on the right hand side of the building. Easy to find off of County Line Rd. Comfortable seating and friendly staff.

Fantastic variety of coffees! The staff is very knowledgeable about, and are fans of coffee. They have even developed their own coffee tasting journal for aficionados! Snacks, teas, cokes and other treats are available, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting! Great spot for a business meeting or a relaxing morning with a book and a cup of Joe!

Very very friendly staff and good prices.
I will gladly trade the coldness of of industrialized baristas for this warm, friendly, family atmosphere.
I easily recommend that you give them your business. They are worthy and appreciative of it.

Take a look at this muffin. These guys have the best blueberry muffins I have ever had in my whole life!
Also, they actually know how to make a traditional flat white! Definitely one of the best local coffee places ever!
