Kind of torn on this review…read more Grounded has a great patio and well-priced drinks. I just would say I haven't been super impressed by their drinks. I tend to prefer places that make some of their own syrups, etc. and from what I can tell, Grounded doesn't really do much from scratch, which is fine, just not my preference. Their drinks are usually good. I was kind of disappointed to see their even their seasonal specialty drink was not a homemade syrup. My biggest complaint is their cold brew is super weak/too watered down. Service is usually okay, cleanliness is usually okay as well. I do love their expanded hours, so we do stop here when others are closed.

Back then, it was our little ritual, cozy mornings with warm drinks and big feelings, just the two of us figuring out a new chapter one sip at a time. She'd order something with way too much whipped cream, and I'd pretend I wasn't tearing up over how grown-up she looked holding her cocoa. Now? We still go, only these days, she brings her friends, and I'm just along for the ride, and maybe to pay. It's gone from quiet catch-ups to full-blown coffee shop photo shoots with her crew. And honestly? The lighting in there gets it. The huge windows, the plants, the downtown charm, it's practically begging for cute, candid best friend pics and "caught laughing but obviously posed" moments. The vibe is warm, welcoming, a little artsy, and always buzzing in the best way. Whether we're talking about life, school, crushes, or just sitting in that comfortable silence that only comes with time, Grounded feels like home. A beautiful, caffeinated home with oat milk options and the occasional scone we swear we're splitting, but somehow I never get half. Grounded isn't just a coffee shop to us. It's a memory maker, a tradition keeper, a growing-up landmark in latte form.

Name just called, so 49 minutes of waiting. I've been in before- back during the bread shortage of December '25 when the bread truck broke down. 3 staff and only soup available. The manager and staff were incredible during the bread shortage. Steady but sure in pace. Recognizing that people may become frustrated, I was impressed by the manager, who offered me a cookie! Tonight? No manager that I could see. Well, it's snowing, so maybe everyone has "go slow because there's snow", but I doubt it. It's Wisconsin. We're used to snow. The ambience, I can describe, is watching slow motion in action. I've got to give some credit for credit's sake. It's difficult to manage and sustain the ability to move this slowly. When in house eaters have finished their dinners and ask me, as they walk to the doors, if I'm still waiting, one knows it's something to behold. It really is quite something to watch! With a turnover rate of less than 3 months for the average worker, it must be something of a requirement for those who like to snicker. I definitely recommend this restaurant for individuals who wish to enhance their ability for patience and calm in a chain known to be faster than a 5 star restaurant -but only by a small margin. Overall, I'll continue eating here because I like to be gouged on the price of soup and because I'm too lazy to cook. Plus, I've gotta admit it's great therapy; enhancing one's calm. Oh, no, they forgot my cookie!

They do have a ATM inside for a 2$ fee which was a tad annoying but it is what it is. After coming in I was quickly sat by a very friendly waitress and she quickly took my order. The food came out pretty quick and it was delicious.. the bacon was probably some of the best restaurant bacon I've ever had, the 6 oz steak was well seasoned and tasted great. Their homemade/sliced potatoes were yummy and crispy. Overall I'd give this place a 5/5 with the only gripe being the cash / atm. I'll be back for sure if I'm in the area!

Service was a bit slow and our kids kept asking when the food would get there. I had to keep reminding them they were busy. They stayed busy playing the free pacman game in the back. Love that it was free. The restaurant itself has so much more potential with the 80s vibe than what they had. It was a bit rundown but overall fun to tell my kids about. They had some where's Waldo prints in each booth and some 80s trivia cards. The food itself was average. Nothing spectacular but decent. I had the pancakes with the yogurt. Kids had waffles and bacon.

I went mistake and eggs, unfortunately, my steak was extremely overcooked, but everything else was fine. We shared breakfast cheese curds and while I wouldn't describe them as cheese curds they were very tasty. My friend got the Reuben, huge portion and she was only able to eat half, but said it was really good. Service was OK, nothing to write home about. We stood at the front for about 10 minutes being passed by multiple people before someone finally decided to see us. The restaurant seems large, we didn't end up having any drinks, but it's nice to know they have a full bar menu if needed. Would we be back? Maybe. With so many other restaurants nearby I think I would continue exploring, but if you're looking for a simple basic breakfast, I think this is the spot to go.

I already summed up the experience for that LaCrosse KT. The 3rd worst location in town…read more I drove by 4 stores that day. The first was probably one I should've stopped at. The second, by the direction I was traveling at the time was too dumpy to consider even slowing down for, the one after that was similarly dismal by exterior appearances. Finally as I was done with my work in town I was heading out, and had to get a road soda and use the facilities. They were dire, at best. Getting an energy drink was the best option since the coffee station was lacking, and it was filthy anyway. An empty store, dirty floors, coffee and the hot foods were unstocked. The lazy clown was busy with social media and having a swearing contest with a trashy woman who was pissing about some injustice she'd been through. I wish I'd have driven a couple miles further and gone to the first store at the northern most end of this town. Today I was back in this area where, for another small electrical troubleshooting job, and I did stop at the nicest KT. Maybe later I'll think to write about its far superior management and perhaps even the ownership is corporate run, because I can't imagine the other three were. They have to be private franchises that have little adherence to their parent company's policies
