The bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit is so good. Maybe one of the best biscuits I've ever had. No joke. So light, fluffy, and buttery. So good. And the hot dirty chai hit just right. If I lived in NOLA I'd be here every day. read more

I've come here pretty regularly for years, but I've continually gotten less impressed. The positives- the coffee is very yummy. The negatives- the service, price, and speed. Do not come here for food if you need to be out in less than 20 min. A bagel and coffee regularly takes 15-20 min (I've timed it- I come here a lot). This time, I order the same bagel (plain with cream cheese), she accidentally rings me up for a lox bagel. No worries, I just ask if they can do the one I ordered instead. She snarkily says "well you ordered a lox so that's what I made you." No ma'am, I did not, nor have I ever in the 3 years I've been coming here and ordered the same bagel every time. Then proceeds to loudly mutter to the employees about her frustration with me. I jokingly say (trying to lighten the mood) "I was wondering why it was more expensive!" Also important note here- they do not post their prices anywhere. I hadn't been in for a while and just assumed inflation had hit them too. She issues me a refund, then in front of other customers says "Next time the price looks wrong tell me." I don't mind mistakes at all, this was a simple miscommunication. What I do mind is being chastised and spoken down to for YOUR mistake. If I'm spending $13 for a coffee and bagel, I don't need to be talked to like a child. read more

I thought this coffee shop was quaint and in the heart of Jefferson. It was pretty packed for 10am. The place is decently sized, quite few tables inside and about 3 or 4 outside to dine at. There is a jug of water in the back next to the very clean bathrooms. The menus are on the wall and they have a good number of options for food, including bagels and lox, which I will get next time. Not many places offer that in Metry. I ended up ordering the special latte which was a chocolate and vanilla blend. It was tasty, rich, I like when placed offer chocolate and not mocha. There is a different between those flavors and chocolate always wins, yet not many places offer so again, glad they have this too. I also ordered the scrambled egg croissant with cheddar and ham. I did enjoy the croissant, it was flaky and butter, delicious. I also enjoyed the ham, had a sweetness to it. I did not love the cheddar or lack there was. It was very little cheese and honestly, with that delicate ham, it needed a better cheese like brie maybe or gruyere? Something to match that perfect buttery croissant. I did notice the menu online is not exactly the same as the one on the wall. I was interested in an Italian Bagel, but maybe that is offered other times of the year or maybe it was just not popular, but it sounded interesting. I should have asked if they had the ingredients to make it and probably will next time if I don't get my lox bagel. The lady that took my order was professional and personable with the regulars. I did like that the worker space is open to the dinners and you can see everything coming in and going out - it was a well designed space. The decor was quaint. Only thing I didn't like was there was not as much cleaning of the tables as I would like in between customers. Overall, very good experience and very tasy coffee. read more

Was not impressed whatsoever. Service was slow and unfriendly. New person at the register got upset with me after she placed my order. Asked me if I had exited out of the screen. I said I paid in cash and didn't even touch the register. This was immediately after I had told her to put the change in the tip jar. Can't believe her memory was that bad- or if she was that frazzled by the line that has accumulated from her struggling with said register. Whichever the case, it left a bad taste in my mouth. There was no apology or even acknowledgement of her error besides an "Oh yeah!" Coffee was fresh but not strong. Was surprised by the lack of milk and sugar options available for patrons available on the counter. Totally expected some syrups and various types of milk available. Sandwich, as you can see in the picture, was barely filled. 1 layer of the toppings and I had multiple bites of just bread. Nothing about the sandwich was special nor unique. Bacon tasted like regular bacon and the bread was store-bought, not fresh bakery variety as others have mentioned in their reviews. Will not be back despite wanting to check out this place for years due to its high reviews and central location. Huge fail Yelp read more

Excellent. Very fresh made biscuit sandwich. Good cafe au lait. Good service clean and friendly.

I've passed by this coffee shop so many times and finally had an opportunity to stop in. Loved the vibe and the friendly, attentive service. They serve breakfast and lunch in addition to their coffee and other beverages. I got a turkey panini and a honey ginger peach iced tea. The panini had turkey, mozzarella, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes. It was a little bland to me if I'm being honest--all the elements were good, but tasted like they could use a little salt and seasoning. I asked for a little pesto on the side and that made all the difference; I cleaned by plate after that small tweak. I love peach tea, so I really enjoyed my drink. I got it sweetened with honey and it was bordering on too sweet, so I think I'll try it unsweetened next time to see how I like it. It's a great place to have a meeting, catch up with a friend, or get some work done. They have wifi and easy access to outlets for your devices. I'm for sure going to stop in again when I'm in the area. read more

Cute little coffee shop that has a small menu. I was craving a bagel this morning and their photo showed a bagel so I was sold. But when I got there, after viewing their menu, I changed my mind. There are only three types of bagels; everything, plain or wheat and the only cream cheese I saw advertised was either plain or onion chive. That doesn't count against them for my review, but I was craving either Asiago bagel or strawberry cream cheese to spice up a plain bagel. I did try the avocado toast with tomato. I liked the added tomato on top. A tad bit heavy handed with the balsamic drizzle but that's just me I think. Others probably would think it's just fine. I've added a pic for reference. It is a small place and while sitting here watching people come and go, you can tell there are many regulars and the staff remembers people. I over heard her say to one person "I haven't seen you in awhile". There was an avid conversation with another customer and it was evident by the conversation, she was a regular and they both knew the same people. The only complaint I have is the front staff was wearing her mask dangling off one ear the whole time. I don't know if she simply forgot to put it on properly or just hates wearing it. Both she and the customer were having a long conversation at the counter, and neither were wearing masks. The customer kept walking back and forth between counter and her table, both talking non stop. Another staff member working in the back came out wearing her mask but didn't tell her coworker to mask up. I understand you don't have to wear your mask while sitting at the table eating, but I would like to see better practice of mask wearing, especially if you are in the business of serving the community. Overall, a cute place, spacious inside and family friendly. read more

Hubby and I wanted a breakfast sandwich but it was after 11am, so no such luck for most place. Yelp brought us here. Super cute coffee house with a few tables to sit and chill. I noticed that there were lots of options for sandwiches, coffees, teas, and pastries. We ordered an egg and cheese croissant and a caprese panini with sodas. The young lady who took our order was nice but she seemed super busy. Once we sat down, we noticed that the place was a little smoky from the cooking. Even if I wanted to sit and eat, I wouldn't have been of the smokiness. The sandwiches were EXCELLENT! We are definitely returning for to-go orders. One quick note- patrons get a percentage off if they use cash. read more

As a resident at Ochsner, I was excited to see a new coffee shop open up down the street as the PJ's in the hospital lobby is god awful. Decided to give this place a try as it just newly opened up. Everything is brand new, clean and very quiet. It is an ideal place for studying or hanging out. I was instantly greeted by the barista when came in and she gave me a bunch of recommendations as I was a bit undecided with their big menu. I ended up getting a Iced Latte. 1. Iced Latte: Really good! Freshly made to order and very strong the way I like it. I like that she makes it unsweetened because I like my coffee dark and bitter. My biggest pet peeve is when my coffee comes with milk and tons of sugar when I don't ask for it. The coffee here was fresh and perfectly made. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, the service here is amazing, the shop is completely brand new and clean and the coffee is very high quality. The prices are also very reasonable. I'll definitely be coming here for my hospital coffee from now on. read more

Staff and owners are awesome! Went in for the first time today and I watched liked 10 people come in over the course of a few hours, and the barista literally knew all their names and orders. Then the owner helped me jump my car battery that had died. Best part was they made my coffee exactly how I asked! read more

Nice place to grab a jalapeño kolache and coffee for breakfast. I can make breakfast and lunch out of the bagel & lox.

In love with this place and so glad it's near me. 1. They deliver, which is something I really need working from home. 2. Their food is top notch. We're talking fresh bread for the sandwiches, innovative combinations and a staff that wants to accommodate. I want to make my way through the whole menu. But what I've had so far - the bagel and mix and the Mediterranean chicken sandwich really hit the spot. There's spacious seating and outlets too if you wanted to park for a while. read more

I Truly enjoy having a local coffee shop close by. Pass by this place all the time but never get in to try. Came on a very cold morning because I was craving some coffee!! I ordered a large cafe au lait and a breakfast croissant. Everything from the coffee to the sandwich was awesome! You could tell the bacon was homemade. My lady had a delicious coffee and sandwich as well. Truly enjoyed the homemade appeal of the place. The food and drink was excellent! Really cannot wait to come try it again. read more

This is cozy coffee and sandwich place that is hidden next to Ochsner. I went over for lunch. The place is very accommodating and modern. They do phone orders and I would recommend it if you are short on time. It does take them a bit to make your food. The French dip panini was good. I am personally not too big of a fan on the au jus of it because it had a sweetness that didn't sit well with me. The panini itself was crisp and firm giving a nice texture to to the sandwich. The roast beef according to the owner is cooked on estate for 24 hours. It really shows, the beef was slightly juicy with a mild flavor to it. What really brought out the sandwich for me was using the horsie sauce with the roast beef. It wasn't too strong on horseradish so it provided a nice refreshing taste. I would recommend giving this place a try. Especially if you are staying or visiting Ochsner and need to grab a bite to eat. read more

My daughter told me about this quaint spot. I'm in town for a few weeks and this is most definitely my daily stop for breakfast/lunch. Simple menu but great customer service and yummy bites.

Grounded Coffee has become a staple part of my week. I stop by every Saturday after my workout. I get a coffee (either iced or hot, depending on the weather) and their Italian breakfast sandwich.

This is a somewhat hidden treasure in plain view on Jefferson Hwy. near Ochsner Hospital. I went one Saturday morning looking for breakfast, but I ended up settling on the Grounded Greek Panini. I did not wait too long for my sandwich. It was a good serving and not too big. I also liked that they served the yogurt on the side, so that I could either dip my sandwich or spread it onto the bread. On a side note, they provided paper straws so it showed me that they were environmentally friendly. I highly recommend the Grounded Coffee Cafe. Servers are friendly and the atmosphere is casual and low-key. Bon apetit! read more

Awesome tea, bagels, and even better Service! I stopped in and was instantly greeted by a super friendly barista. I ordered the lemon ginger ice tea and a Nutella bannana bagel. I was very impressed with both the bagel and the tea and wish I could've ordered more off the menu! I sat and watched a slew of regulars stop by and order an item or two. Every time the barista continued with their happy demeanor and even kept personal notes on several customers. Hopefully I find myself in the area in the future to stop by and visit again! read more

Really delicious coffee and don't even get me started about the frozen green tea! I love this place, the food is great the people are sweet, and the coffee is strong. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it can take a long time to get your order. When I go to chat with a friend or do work this is no problem, but sadly I can't go as often as I'd like because I can't risk not making it back during my shorter lunch break. read more

The owners, Heidi and her husband, are absolutely fantastic. I needed breakfast delivered on a Saturday for a group of 25 and they came through with only a days notice. Heidi was super accommodating and her husband delivered the coffee and breakfast items himself. They provided all the cups, napkins, mixers, etc. that were needed. All of the attendees loved the breakfast and the coffee was amazing! read more

This place is a great little escape from work (since it's close to Ochsner) if you want a quick bite. The place is so heart warming. I tried the caprese sandwich which was good if you like your bread crunchy. My latte was very tasty. I'll definitely be back to try some more. read more

When I reached out to the people at the Grounded Coffee Café I had already spent three nights on the 15th floor at Ochsner Main Hospital, the COVID floor. It was Thanksgiving morning, I was in an ICU room recovering from COVID, grumpy and cranky as they come, hungry, and craving a cup of coffee that I knew I wouldn't be able to taste. "We're closed" Heidi said yet she offered to make me something to eat. Bagel with schmear, avocado toast, coffee, and some brownies for good measure. The food was very good and well put together and packaged, just yummy and what the doctor ordered. The kindness and compassion, on the other hand, took the experience to another level of feeling cared for and taken care of. This is my new discovery, it's right by the hospital, great location, great people. She didn't take my money. Thank you, Heidi! read more
