I prefer it to be made from Single Origin beans, from places like Africa that have bright flavor profiles. And I prefer a medium light roast that highlights the quality of the bean. Most places make their iced coffee from blends and medium dark or dark roast levels. Grounded Coffee Co is the rare CT coffee shop that made my iced coffee with an Ethiopian Single Origin roasted by Ilse. Ilse, a North Canaan, CT, was not on my radar. They are now. This was one of the best iced coffees I've had from a shop all year. And it matched my preferences. Grounded is small, but the shop was cute, had some inside seating, and seemed to have an outside seating area, although I did not go out back to see it. Service was friendly and helpful. Very impressed with this visit experience. Five Stars.

THEY HAVE ALMOND MILK! They have finally given us another milk option aside from whole and oat.

Some old staff and some new staff, sometimes the espresso is better than other times but you gotta learn somewhere so- I get it.

They're light and fluffy with just a little crisp on the outside, and absolutely 0 greasy taste/texture. Their blueberry glaze was especially outstanding, but there wasn't a single one in the six-pack that we didn't love. PLUS 2/3 of the flavors are always changing! And they have daily coffee flavors! The doughnut flavors are really unique too (think chocolate pretzel, maple bacon, etc.). Even better, everything they sell/use is sourced from CT. Slight points off for the atmosphere (it's very cute but could use some sound dampening), but let's be real - it's a place designed to pick up your doughnuts and go, not sit and linger, so I'm not dinging it down from the 5-star review it deserves. We're DEFINITELY coming back!

Service was acceptable, but lacking in level of personality or engagement. For me, these characteristics are memorable and would help inspire me to come back. The food was as described on the menu, but equally lacking in pizazz. My Mexican Bowl was lukewarm and my friends' burgers were both well-done, despite only one of them asking for it being this way, and the fries were overcooked. I like crispy, but not to the over-the-top degree to which they were done. Bottom line: Eat here if you are hungry and your needs will be met, but this place could use a lift in sparkle and quality.

What prompts me to write a bad review is their "Black Lives Matter" banner where you can't fail to miss it AFTER you have given them your money. That organization is disgraced for a lot of reasons including embellishment, fraud but its their central message that is rotten to the core. The BLM -- and those who support the BLM -- say that some lives are more important than others. That isn't true. They also imply that the lives of police officers are worth nothing at all. ALL LIVES MATTER! These banners with the fists in the air are implying that violence against police officers is OK. They are saying that any officers (even minority officers) who shoot in self defense against a minority suspect is racist. I guess even the Black Cops are supporters of this white supremacy movement that we hear so much talked about but see zero evidence of.

The 3 or 4 times I've been, there have been homeless or disenfranchised men outside but they've generally been harmless besides asking for cash. Just expect it.
