The on-street parking situation is tough, but luckily after one unsuccessful pass we spotted the parking lot across the street for the vacant Walgreens so we were set. The interior is reminiscent of cafes we visited in Italy: clean lines, good lighting, elegant tile and wood accents. It's a stylish place, with comfortable seating indoors and around both sides of the exterior. Service was very friendly and responsive. I did try to order a country biscuit (since there was one displayed in the pastry case), but was told they did t make them. The barista told our counter worker that there were some in the fridge/freezer but that didn't find one for us - disappointing, but I didn't really need it anyway, and did just plan on getting a coffee, but still... You can tell a lot about the quality of a coffee shop from a basic drink of either hot or iced coffee. The iced did not disappoint! It's robust without a hint of over-roasting; strong but not bitter. The large is a generous size, and the cup was coffee with a bit of cream (and not the reverse as happens in a few places). So, no star deducted for my missing biscuit. I'm looking to coming back to try that biscuit AND a breakfast sandwich - they looked amazing when I saw them being served up at the counter!

Each time i have been impressed by whomever helps me. This most recent experience was with Lizzy and Kelly and they were so amazing! I couldn't have had a better experience. You can tell they both really care about customer interactions, creating quality beverages and making each visit special for customers. What a great coffee shop! I can't wait to see what their next specialty menu will include!

First, I like the big tall windows and the patio area outside which I assume is very popular during warmer months. Second, I was captivated by the different cold brew drip towers they have going. They have a lot of unique drink flavors to choose from, of which I picked the honey lavender latte. At first I thought it was a little too sweet, but it grew on me by the second sip. I could actually taste both the lavender and the honey. The size was just right and the prices are also average. I stayed a little reading a book and found that is it a peaceful environment even though some people were studying and others were playing board games. I would come back to try other items. The staff was very friendly.

It was an absolutely beautiful day at the beach and evening so we decided to get coffee at the Gathering Grounds. Then we strolled back to the seating near the Grist Mill and the pond. Grabbed a few outdoor rocking chairs with a little table to rest our coffees on and enjoyed the beautifully manicured seating area watching the ducks, geese and birds while talking away and watching the sun set. To be honest I was kind of wishing I had brought a change of clothing to go into the restaurant but I was in board shorts, Crocs and a rash guard. However, the coffee and atmosphere was the perfect ending to a great day. I highly suggest that you not only enjoy the Old Grist Mill Tavern, Gathering Grounds and Four Echoes Vintage but to enjoy the beautiful property that is well cared for. Take a walk, enjoy the fresh air and the wild life too! I highly recommend the entire experience!

Parking is off street in a lot. Also right next to a little lake or whatever body of water, which makes it serene, in my opinion.

The drink was initially very minty BUT as the ice melted and the coffee had time to mix with the other ingredients it became a very delicious drink :) next time I want to try one of their more traditional drinks, but it was still a good experience nonetheless!
