Beautiful coffee shop. Awesome staff & fun tasty seasonal selections of coffee & teas. Monthly tastings are so fun & unique.

We've been here multiple times and the coffee is consistently great. They offer seasonal flavors and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Highly recommend read more

Coffee was just okay compared to their competitors. The flavor profile on the black coffee was off and didn't taste right.

I ordered one of their specialty drinks, and it was just wayyyy too sweet. Maybe I ordered wrong, but it was definitely more syrup than coffee. Also no wall plus except one place in the room? Not ideal for sitting down and getting work done. I'll have to find somewhere else! read more

After a national coffee chain (yeah, that one) gave me a caffeinated drink instead of decaf for what feels like the millionth time, I swore it off -- just in time for Grounded to open! The coffee is great - I've been twice in one week, despite it being a little out of my way - and the staff is super friendly. I wish there were more seating options (I work from home and would love to set up here for a change of scenery sometimes), but I'll take what I can get. It's totally worth skipping a drive thru to support a local business! read more

I loved this adorable coffee shop! I came here for the first time to study, and it was a really comfortable atmosphere. Soothing music, super friendly staff, and the coffee and bakery items were great! The only suggestion I have (and the reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5), is a suggestion for them to switch to paper products or use recyclable products. My croissant I ordered was delicious, but it came in a plastic box read more

I heard about them from a friend and decided to give them a shot. Good coffee and that's all I was looking for. I'll go back soon and if it's as good as last time we'll be regular customers. read more

Our first stop in this new business in the historic district of Frankfort, IL. We placed an order for a Latte, a Matcha Latte and an Oatmeal Bar. Staff is attentive and friendly. Interior is beautifully done and cozy. A community table, some chairs, and a counter table that looks out onto the street. Very clean, independent coffee shop vibe. Will repeat. read more

This is a really adorable coffee shop in a great location. The decor and light coming in from the front window is fantastic. The staff is really friendly and I've been waiting for a locally owned coffee shop to pop up around here. Unfortunately, they miss their mark with their drinks. I've been four times and have had the cappuccino, iced latte, hot oat milk latte, and the chai tea latte. Overall, I would say the main issue is that they are too heavy with the milk in their drinks. The cappuccino and two lattes both mostly just tasted like milk with only a smidgen of espresso coming through. The cappuccino and hot oat milk latte were also served way to hot. This may be because it's a new coffee shop and the baristas haven't had a lot of practice yet, but the milk is being heated too hot. The iced latte was obviously not too hot, but again, too milk heavy. The problem with the chai tea latte was that it didn't have a good spice to it. It could be either that it was again too milk heavy, or that they need to adjust their spice blend. I'll still be trying this place again in the future in hopes that they can figure our their drinks. I haven't had their coffee yet, so I can't say anything about that. read more

Excellent coffee!! Drive from Flossmoor just for a cup coffee. Met the owner once visiting and she was just lovely. Thank you for bringing us a great local coffee spot! Great choices in flavors and options. Friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

This coffee shop is the perfect little place ! The coffee is great! As well as the baked goods . Has seating to be able to get work done as well as outdoor seating to enjoy the weather . Only draw back is it is a bit pricey but personally it's worth it ! read more

Good coffee but quite expensive. A cold brew, which is one size is $8. Nice option as your walking around in Frankfort but too costly in my opinion. read more

Very disappointed in the ownership at Grounded Coffee Bar. I went to the New Lenox location to have a nice afternoon coffee date with my child and after I had ordered my food and beverages, I gave them a $20 gift certificate that I had received from a friend and the worker there said she was not for sure if they could accept my gift certificate because they were from the original owners. She reached out to the person in charge via phone and she said they could not accept those. I went ahead and paid $22 for my order but I do not feel this is right. Because my friend bought this and now that's just $20 wasted? So because they would not accept this you basically stole $20. When you take on a business it's your responsibility to honor those even if it's prior to previous owners. Example: Agave Azul in Manhattan took on new ownership and they honor previous gift cards that were purchased. And that's how you run a good business. This should've have been honored. And now because of this I do not want to come back and will tell others. This is not good business. Also the person in charge that was not there when this happened that told her worker they couldn't take it asked for my information but I have still not received a call. Very disappointed. read more

Cute decor, friendly staff, & great coffee. Try the oat milk lavender latte! Bonus: they have do-rite donuts for my little ones.

Ordered two coffees and two bagels through Grubhub. The coffee was okay, one of the bagels was not the correct type (that's whatever, maybe they ran out of the type I requested), but the other bagel I received was moldy. Unfortunately I didn't really look at it before eating a bite, but the mold is obvious. It's insane that this even got to me, because they clearly sliced and toasted it beforehand--how could they not see the mold? This was my first time trying Grounded Coffee Bar, but I wouldn't try it again. I have no faith in the quality of their food or drinks. read more

Love this cute coffee bar! They have great coffees and tea! I have ordered a latte and love the taste with the oat milk. I have never tried oat milk until going to Grounded. It's so good! Always a friendly staff and I would rather purchase locally from a small business then Starbucks any day. The only drawback is that I wish they had more seating. It's a perfect hangout if you are looking for a good atmosphere. Plus Frankfort has a lot of amazing downtown shops!!! read more

Service was great but the coffee was kind of cold, tasted burnt and terrible and the donuts were bad. Wish it was better

This is such a cute coffee shop! I really appreciated the short menu! You don't need to spend several minutes reading and making decisions. Intelligentsia coffee is perfect as is and should not have much added to it beyond a splash of cream or sugar (if that's your thing). The staff was really friendly and I look forward to returning. The only weird thing to me was that donuts were $3.95 each. Seems pricey for the southwest suburbs... read more

Very nice service and ambiance. Great coffee! Always a warm place to sit and have a good cup of coffee

Adorable coffee house. Very friendly (and safe) staff! The espresso was amazing as well!

I happened upon this coffee shop today, did not know it existed previously! Man I am glad that I found this place. There is just something special about a well-decorated, non-chain coffee shop that makes me so happy. I could not wait to try it. I ordered the cold brew, which was so tasty and the flavor was so bold it was perfect. My boyfriend got an iced vanilla latte which was good as well. I felt the prices were comparable to Starbucks, but the cold brew here was much better than Starbucks'. The inside was adorable and well decorated. Unfortunately seating is limited, I expect due to COVID19 regulations. I definitely would go here again and I look forward to it! read more

Cute coffee house and the coffee is good. Very friendly staff. I can't rate higher than two stars, though, since they don't have a public bathroom. I can't see myself going back, especially now in the winter, to be told there's a nice bathroom we can use across the park. read more

Intelligentsia Coffee + Oat milk = match made in heaven! This coffee bar knows the best ingredients make for the best products! Other recommendations: Matcha latte and PB&J macaroons! The cozy, cute atmosphere is also great! read more

Hurrah! A fantastic coffee spot in downtown Frankfort! A coffee place for true coffee lovers, no watered-down, sugar-filled, Starbucks creations here (and don't get me wrong, I do love my Starbucks). But this is some good stuff. Not much for food selection so don't come looking to eat anything unless you want a small pastry, but there are plenty of cute places nearby to eat. Love it. read more

Great little coffee shop in Downtown Frankfort! It's the perfect place for a coffee, food, and study time! Music choice is calm and popular and I can get a lot done there :)! I got an Iced Latte with Vanilla, Oat Milk, and cinnamon! read more

Looks like a really cute place to grab coffee, unfortunately when my mother and I went to do just that at 4:30 on a Thursday, the door was locked and they appeared to be closed even though online it states that they should be open until 6:00 pm...Bummer! :( read more

We are so lucky to have this new 'hip' coffee shop in our downtown. As someone else mentioned in their review it has an amazing vibe. Go in and get a tea and enjoy the amazing artwork, decorating, and super friendly staff. Can't wait to experience it through all the seasons. Great job Sheila! read more

I liked the ambiance, but didn't care for the taste of their coffee. I don't plan to go back.

Product is delicious,Service is great and Hospitality is welcoming!one word to describe this place - DELICIOUS!!!

Great little gem in downtown Frankfort. Sit inside or outside...or take your coffee into the park across the street. They brew Intelligencia coffee...which is one of the best around. Dog friendly. Kid friendly. read more

Over priced drinks for a small cup. Didn't even get sized options. The cup is the size of one you would get with a kids meal for the same quality you can get from the guy in the alley way. It taste like sewage water. read more

Great little shop!...and I mean little. It's tiny. But they've packed as much as a they can into a tiny spot. I came because they offer Intelligentsia. To my disappointment they only serve it from big batch, commercial brewers and it just doesn't taste the same. Not nearly as good as Intelligentsia should be. Would love to see better brewing equipment and even doing some pour overs. The. This place would be my spot all the time! read more

I've recently made this my go to coffee place for my weekend morning coffee. It would be my everyday go to coffee but I leave for work at 4:30am and not many places are open at that time. I'm giving grounded coffee 5 stars without a second thought I've never had a single problem here. The employees are always super kind and hard working never had a long wait for my coffee. Also the atmosphere here is wonderful great for studying or doing work on your laptop or tablet and etc. they also have free WiFi which is a plus. Did I mention the coffee is the best coffee I've ever had by far! if your worried about the price it's cheaper than starbucks for the most part even when I leave a 20% tip it doesn't cost as much as my drink at Starbucks. read more

The place is amazing. Great food and great service. Staff is always very friendly. I would highly recommend this place. It's a shame there aren't more coffee shops around like this place! read more

$6.50 for a tall latte. When I opened the lid, wasn't even filled to the top. What a joke. Sad, I really wanted to love it, something recently has changed for the worst. read more

The hours of this coffee shop are terrible. What coffee shop in a walk around destination downtown with shopping, eating, strolling, browsing, closes at 2,3 and 4pm. Absolutely ridiculous! read more

My drink had ice chunks and wasn't properly blended. It was overpriced. The flavor and taste wasn't good and the amount is small. Also, they need more staff and they should be more friendly. read more
