Best matcha in the DMV area & easily my go to, moving forward. From the ambiance, the service, & the matcha itself -- it's a 10/10 overall. I ordered the Grounded Matcha (so yum) & a tee to support the business (cute aesthetic & message). The girl at the register was super helpful & even offered my dog a cup of water while we waited. Not 100% if they are dog friendly, but they didn't have any issues with him being in there while holding him. They have a plethora of plants to choose from & plenty of seating to relax and catch up with family & friends. Will definitely be adding this spot to my list for anyone visiting me in DC. The wellness studio I didn't get to see, but will absolutely be back to catch an event in the near future.
This is a great shop with excellent customer service. It's quiet and small, and I love the plants throughout the space they make you feel centered. I had the almond croissant, which was amazing. I'm not sure about the parking, but this place is definitely on my list for my next visit to DC. They also have a great menu. I went on a Saturday morning and a Yoga class just ended.
What a gem of a Black owned coffee shop! I love that it's more than just a café, there's also a plant shop and even a yoga studio, which really adds to the whole experience. The atmosphere is super zen, relaxing, and peaceful, with thoughtful decor and a calming setup that makes it easy to unwind. There's ample seating, with a mix of tables in both the front and back, plus some bench style seating. My only small critique is that the benches could use a bit more back support, they get a little uncomfortable after a while. But maybe that's intentional lol. Didn't notice any outlets nearby either. I tried the viral grounded matcha, and it was good! The usual grassy flavor of matcha is really well balanced here. That said, I'm not fully on the matcha train, so I probably wouldn't order it again, but that's just personal preference, not a knock on the drink itself. Parking wise, there's some street parking just beyond the shop on a side street, but it's limited. Overall, it's still a great spot to hang out, get some work done, or just enjoy a peaceful moment.
We came to grounded in a Saturday afternoon for some tea. As soon as you walk in, it's such an amazing aesthetic. Your eye is visually drawn to plants and the green and wood calming decor. It instantly felt like a neighborhood spot where people were working and some were sitting at tables for 2 engaged in conversation. The staff was kind and helpful to a first timer like me. I told them I wanted cold tea and he recommended one that was so good! Blacker the Berry was sweet and delicious. Highly recommend. They also sell items from individual vendors and have information about them and their goods. I would absolutely go back here over and over to meet friends and enjoy tea and coffee.
What a lovely cafe! The vibes here are so peaceful and calming. SPACE This space is filled with beautiful plants everywhere (that you can aso purchase!) and has plenty of seating without feeling crowded at all. I love that much of the seating is bench style with cushions to maximize space and flow. They also have a yoga room in the back where they hold classes - so cool! DRINKS They're known for their matcha, so you know that's what I got! Clove Matcha - I loved this, like a chai spiced matcha (I got it hot) Grounded Matcha - my friend got this - sweeter with the butterfly pea powder flavor and fun blue color! FOOD They had a few pastries, but was quite picked over by the time we arrived late morning. Lovely little matcha spot!
I love it here and so happy we have such a beautiful space in the neighborhood. It has such a good vibe and always have wonderful service. I've purchased a few plants from here and they are all doing well. I love how they offer services to ensure your plants are well taken care of. Their matcha is sooooo good. My favorite is the Grounded Matcha but they also have seasonal specials. I had the Earl Grey Hot Chocolate and that was also yummy. I haven't tried their wellness classes yet but hope to catch one soon. This is a solid choice to do some work, catch up with a friend, add/start your plant collection, or just come and get grounded.
I like this place for the drinks and ambience, but not the plants. As a houseplant collector, I find their selection to be limited and inconsistently priced. In December 2025, they were charging $18.99 for a 4 inch pothos. That's highway robbery! However, the larger floor plants like monstera and fiddle figs were $60-70 which is very reasonable for the size of the plants. My favorite drink has been the earl grey hot chocolate. I'd order that one again. I know they are known for their matcha and I'm glad to have tried it, but it's not the best I've tried in the city. Matcha lattes have been inconsistent as I've ordered two on different occasions (just plain matcha lattes) and one was sweet and the other wasn't. When I asked the barista they told me the drink isn't served sweetened which was confusing because the first one I had there was sweet. The grounded matcha was too sweet for me and I wasn't sure I'd like it based on the description but I'm a sucker for cute instagramable drinks and it's beautiful. It wasn't horrible it's just very sweet and the pistachio flavor was overpowering. Service can be a bit slow depending on when you come. Every time I've come there's been a line and only one person working so I definitely wouldn't come here if I were rushing. They also have mobile ordering through the Toast app. I've not attended any of the yoga classes but the studio appears to be clean and inviting from what I can tell.
Rating: 6/5 Its been years since I've walked into an establishment and immediately fell in love with the ambiance. This place is the meaning of warmth and comfort. Live plants and tones of green, concrete, and brown surround you creating a vibrant forest atmosphere. And the beverage menu is very unique. As a coffee enthusiast, I can appreciate a barista that clarifies they serve traditional macchiatos. I can't wait to come back. There's a yoga studio readily available for customers to stretch/decompress. I'll definitely utilize this when I come back to work remotely. There's a soft smell of incense burning that calms the senses and the music compliments that vibe further. Furthermore, there's a slew of community events on their calendar like sound baths and yoga sessions. What a gem!
This is such a great multi-purpose space - from a plant shop to wellness studio to cafe. It's so refreshing to explore a space where I can enjoy good drinks while feeling very hygge. The menu is quite extensive - I love how many matcha options are there. I highly recommend anyone in DC to visit this location - even if it's not inconvenient.
I work right down the street from this place - and I have to hold myself back from going every day. The ambiance and the vibes are immaculate - right when you walk in, you feel like you can take a deep breath, smell the coffee and tea, and enjoy the beautiful greenery. I've already purchased one small plant - a heart shape one which they had a deal on for Valentine's Day! The drinks are always delicious and well done. Love their matcha. I also want to try the yoga studio tucked away in the back one day!! read more
A great neighborhood cafe that serves out quality matcha drinks. I got the grounded matcha - a blend of butterfly pea powder, pistachio, matcha, and oat milk. It was delicious! If it was earlier in the day, I would have happily gotten a second matcha drink. read more

I attended an event at this very cute coffee shop in Anacostia. This intimate space is perfect for solo work, meeting a friend or just to grab a cup of delicious coffee or tea. They even offer a selection of plants for purchase. It was hard to avoid buying another plant lol I ordered the Lovers Rock which was surprisingly delicious. I was nervous about trying a blueberry coffee but it the perfect flavor combination of blueberry with a sprinkle of cinnamon. The flavors were sweet but not overpowering. I would highly recommend a visit. read more
Absolutely enjoy the team and environment at Grounded. I've co-worked in the space a few times with friends, and the environment is always light, calming, and serene. There is a true sense of community at Grounded. I also love a place where I can work and listen to a great playlist while working. Their hot and cold matcha are my favorite items on the menu. To be honest, their matcha is some of the best that I've had in the city. My favorite item is the hot grounded matcha, although I've also had the hot clove matcha which was a little strong for my taste. I also tried my first cold matcha at Grounded, and it was delicious as well. Definitely add this place to your must visit spots for coffee, co-working, and/or wellness classes. I will be back to purchase a plant and take wellness class in the near future. read more

This space is so cute! I stopped in for a drink at the cafe, and the Grounded Matcha was really good! Aton and Anthony were absolutely amazing with the customer service, and the space is a really nice vibe. They have music playing, some people were working, and some were just chatting with friends. I love the plants available for sale and as decor around the shop. A very unique space! read more

Silly me, how could I have forgotten to give a review of one of my all time favorite places in D.C., especially as I am on the hunt for great places to work out of during the day... And this is the spot! It is a wonderful coffee shop that also sells plants and is a wellness studio offering classes like yoga! The vibe and atmosphere are very welcoming, the drinks are delicious, I've most recently tried an iced tea and their signature Grounded Matcha! They were both very refreshing and delicious! I have also bought plants there (a snake plant and a pothos) and they are both thriving thanks to the great advice and recommendations by the employees there! I haven't gotten the chance to try a yoga class but while I've worked there everyone always comes out looking refreshed and talking about how they can't wait until their next one! Overall, this is a great spot for so many different things and is a must if you are ever in DC read more

My review is for grounded's wellness studio. I have had the pleasure of flowing with Alia for a gratitude flow on Sundays. It was honestly very beautiful. Well the space is pretty intimate, the class itself gave me just what I wanted and needed. I found it on ClassPass. I would definitely return. I've flowed with Nisaa elsewhere before and her classes here seem amazing. They have plants and a variety of drinks available for purchase onsite, too. The parking situation can probably be pretty challenging, so make sure to read the street signs. Also, if it's your first time to the studio, please take your shoes off before you enter. Then, when you enter, there is a closet inside for you to put your bags, coats, etc. Mat and props are provided, but you can bring your own mat. Enjoy! I would definitely recommend and I will be back. read more
Been dying to get to Grounded for a minute now, and they didn't disappoint!! I had an iced matcha latte with vanilla while my parents had caramel lattes! The space is super serene and I can see why people love to WFH here. Really excited to try a mindfulness workshop or yoga class one day! Hoping they expand into somewhere closer to me as well! read more
Went here with some friends and got a matcha. The ambiance instantly gives a warm calming vibe with all the plants and overall aesthetic. It's a nice play to do work or to allow your creative juices to flow. The staff were very friendly and they have different events there. I got the grounded matcha and it was delicious. One of the better matchas I've had. read more
Soooo, we stopped by today for a quick drink before we went to volunteer at the art center. I tried the new Clove Matcha, my husband had a vanilla Latte. The latte was to standard for him. I enjoyed my Clove Matcha with a good bit of honey as it was a little savory with the black pepper topping. I've also had their signature Grounded Matcha in the past, definitely a crowd pleaser! We didn't grab any plants today but they're shop is lined with wonderful large and little house plants, conveniently labeled for your level of care, lighting in your home, and general maintenance needs. They also have some great pots and plant accessories for all your houseplants needs. Oh and when you have time, drop in for one of their many wellness sessions, from reiki to yoga to a lovely sound bath by some of DC's loveliest wellness practitioners. read more

Grounded is such a vibey spot! I've never been but came here to telework. The plants, greenery and overall aesthetic were so nice and just felt very peaceful. I ordered the grounded matcha latte and let me just tell you one of the BEST matcha lattes I've ever had! I ordered a small not sure if I'd like it because the ingredients sounded interesting. But man I'd wish I ordered a large. It was so good I was thinking about it for days to come. It was very quiet, everyone was in their own zones this is absolutely a perfect spot to telework. I cannot wait to go back and get a large this time. I also ended up purchasing a plant which was very nice. The employee was super helpful with providing me with instructions on how to care for the plant since I'm a new plant mom. :) read more

I've been wanting to try Grounded for a while now. It was a recommendation by a friend. I went with one of their matches which was delicious! The space and ambiance are great too. Plenty of parking. I knocked a star off because the woman at the front register seemed like she didn't want to be a work that day. read more
Drove from RVA to attend the Grand Opening bc supporting Woman-owned Black business, Black wellness, mental wellness is my jam! I love the concept and and the space truly delivers! I met the owner, super sweet, incredibly palate about this space and I'm super excited to get back for some wellness and more plant babies! Also, heard the matcha was top tier and they ran out of ice one I got to the counter, so I'll be grabbing mine next time. Nothing like prioritizing your peace and mental wellbeing in a space curated with a YOU in mind. read more

Grounded Cafe is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and not just from the cozy and GORGEOUS atmosphere, but from the incredible staff who treat you like family!!! The coffee is absolutely divine!!! So rich, smooth, and crafted with so much care that you can taste the love in every sip. Their food is just as amazing, fresh and flavorful with portions that always leave me perfectly satisfied!! read more
Grounded was such an interesting mix of calm, energizing, and communal vibes, I really enjoyed my experience! A cafe, lush plant store, and community wellness space all in one is such a cool concept that I haven't seen before. The decor of the space was modern, uplifting, and inviting. I really enjoyed the organization of different plants into categories for beginners, low light levels, drought resistance, etc. because it felt very user friendly. I will be keeping Grounded in mind when I'm ready to add a plant to my collection. I treated myself to a seasonal Valentine's Day drink called the "Crush On You" which was a cardamom and rose latte, and I got it with oat milk. It was reasonably priced for the DC area, and it was so good! The warmth and spice from the cardamom was perfect and it wasn't too sweet. read more

Grounded is a cute gem in Anacostia, but parking can be a challenge--you may have to circle the block a few times to find a spot nearby. Inside, the space is beautifully designed with a small selection of plants, good vibes, and unique lattes like honey lavender. The open, airy layout makes it a great spot to unwind or catch up with a friend over coffee, though seating is limited with only a few tables and chairs. While they offer a few cookies, I was surprised that it's not a full café--no sandwiches, salads, muffins, or smoothies. Adding light bites would make it an even better spot for morning or lunch meetups, or for those looking to get some work done while enjoying a coffee. Still, the ambiance alone makes it worth a visit. read more
