    Such a modern and cozy spot in downtown Farmington. I personally love their coffee; it's so smooth and tasty! While it's a seasonal drink, I'd highly recommend getting the Mexican hot chocolate latte (not entirely sure of the name). It's something I always love getting when it's in stock, and it has all the right spices to enhance the base flavor! For all the matcha lovers, I'd say that the establishment has a good one, but can sometimes be drowned out by the milk. Not sure if a double matcha would be an option here, but might be something to look into if you're looking for a bolder flavor!

    Excellent latte! Absolutely one of the best lattes I have had in Metro Detroit. You can tell this drink was made with a superior coffee bean, which they roast themselves. The Crema is nice and rich and balances the coffee just right. This business is a tad rustic on the in side and has both indoor and outdoor seating where the inside seating is a bit limited where it can be difficult to find an open table often due to the popularity of this business. However on nicer days there is ample outdoor seating both in front and behind the coffee shop with a garden type setting in the rear. Nice! Relative to staff they are very friendly and clearly versed on how to make a superior cup of coffee. True Barista's. Overall, if you are a fan of well-made, coffee drinks, than this business is an absolute must try as you will not be disappointed! A true gem of Farmington.

    Absolutely one of my favorite coffee shops I've ever been to; there hasn't been a single drink here I've been disappointed by but the vanilla nitro has been my consistent go to. Their seasonal drinks also do not disappoint, you can tell how much they care with the in house syrups and offerings. The service is always quick and friendly. It's a busy spot in downtown Farmington and the parking is very limited. But it's worth it every time. The owner and baristas are always hard at work and the results show in their drinks! I'm sad I don't get to frequent it as often as I used to.

    There are 3 cafe in downtown Farmington and in my opinion this is the best one. They take good care of their customers and coffee beans. Coffee is well balance and consistent. Bake goods and snacks are ok, nothing to write home about.

    Super friendly staff, nice cozy interior, small but decent selection of muffins and such. Worth the extra drive than to go to a Timmy or Dunk'n.

    Mocha. Good chocolate.

    Logistics. In downtown, quaint Farmington; located on Grand River Ave and east of Farmington Road. Vibe. Chill squared. Limited seating; about 20 inside, and maybe 4 outside? LOVED the alternative music; not too loud. Decor is simple; subtle space furnishings, but not overdone, like their logo. The WIFI password is fitting for the establishment's name. Made me smile. F&B. WOW. LOVED THE PASTRIES -- croissants were delish. Mocha was elevated -- good chocolate -- will come back for THAT! See pics. Hospitality. SUPER friendly. This is a small town, and seemed the baristas knew a lot of the regulars. Of note. Loo clean and stocked. Parking private in lot and street. We came because of the name of the cafe, and was not at all disappointed. We were quite pleased overall.

    we absolutely love ground control coffee. We were going here every week sometimes twice a week but due to our own budgets we are only going here once per week sometimes every other week we definitely would come here multiple times a week if money allowed us to go I mean shoot even every day or every other day if I could I love this place the staff is friendly. The decor is wonderful. The quality of service and coffee is amazing. Their drinks are always delicious. This place really never misses.

    Matcha Latte with Raspberry Syrup

    Fast, friendly, and fantastic drinks. Good spot for matcha in downtown Farmington, a must-visit if you're in the area.

    My cousin and I wanted to try a new coffee shop in the area, so we stopped by Ground Control yesterday afternoon. The interior had a minimalistic yet cozy and homey ambiance. There were plenty of seating, so we had no trouble finding a table to enjoy our coffee and pastry. GOAT CHEESE, OLIVE & OREGANO - 6.99 We shared this savory croissant between the two of us. It was thinner and flatter than the usual usual thick, flaky croissants I'm used to. The goat cheese paired nicely with the oregano, and the croissant was warmed up well. However, the pastry was a bit stale. Initially, we expected the croissant to be flavored with olive oil or olives, but there were actual olives tucked inside. While the pastry was unique and I enjoyed the goat cheese, it fell a little short given the price. GINGERBREAD LATTE (12 OZ) - 5.75 The latte was not too sweet, and I could taste real ginger in each sip. However, the ginger and molasses flavors were a bit muted. I would have preferred a more robust flavor. Despite this, the latte was still pretty enjoyable. Overall, Ground Control has a nice vibe, and I'd return if I'm in the area. They also roast their own beans here, and the prices are pretty reasonable -- each bag is under $20.

    Updating my review to 5 stars. This is my new "go-to" coffee shop. I like the vibe. The service is always friendly. It can get busy, but the staff is always pleasant. They offer to warm up the pastry. They have indoor and outdoor space (front and back). The tables are square and a little larger, which are good for working, which I appreciate. A touch more expensive, but I think worth it.

    I love love love this place. I'm a regular. My favorite coffee ever in Farmington. Flavors made in house, best beans for my espresso machine at home, clean and vibey atmosphere, friendly baristas, and I love seeing all the connections and gatherings that take place here all the time.

    Iced Flat White
    Anika J.

    Favorite coffee shop stop in the area. Super cute vibes and friendly customer service. I got an iced flat white and it was delicious. Wish you got a little bit of a bigger size for the price but I have many good things to say about Ground Control. Love that they roast beans fresh. I have shipped beans online to friends before which is very convenient!

    I had the daily brew which was very good. Ambiance is a bit gloomy just like the girl at the register who was very unwelcoming :(

    My friend moved to Michigan about a year ago and took me here because she knows how much I love…read morecoffee. Someone had recommended Lucky Detroit to her, so we decided to try it. We both got iced vanilla lattes with an extra shot. The barista told us they're known for their vanilla syrup, so of course we had to try it. It was really good and had plenty of flavor without being too sweet. The barista was also super friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had a nice vibe. I'd definitely come back.

    The definition of hipster is to have a store that you can only find if you know about it, already…read more So this place shares a building with a barbershop, which happens to be on the second floor, but the coffee shop has no signage. Was there in early June and the coffee and service were both good, as was the savory pastry I got. The main issue with this place is the noise... not for the usual reason in coffeeshops where they play music too loud, but it's a raucous and busy place, which speaks well of the business. But far worse than noisy conversation there's this bell on both the front and back entrances that plays a little five note electric tune every time someone comes in or leaves... Why is it there? Why is it needed? The fact that only a few people have noted it here perhaps speaks more of our noise-polluted lives than anything else, but it's maddening as this thing goes off literally every minute or more, constant, tintinnabulations of the bell, bell, bell, bell, bell... There was an employee taking a break on his phone listening to YouTube videos out loud, too... I guess we're all just so used to this now. So if you want a quiet cafe to get work done, this ain't it. Maybe it's more of a Central Perk scene, with people meeting socially, all who liked the place before it became cool.
