    Horchata cold brew
    Chris A.

    Great coffee with great service. Looks like it's both a store and coffee shop offering great options.

    Had a great experience here getting a mocha with oat milk and the vegan banana bread loaf! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the restaurant was very clean. I was able to easily get a table on the street and people watch. The vegan pastry was so delicious and had the best texture. It was perfectly sweet. The mocha was also so decadent and the coffee was very fresh. The decoration was lovely and I felt so relaxed and at ease here. I will definitely return soon when in the area!

    Its soo goood! Iced vanilla latte

    If you're a coffee lover who values both flavor and sustainability, Groundwork Coffee is a must-visit (or must-order)! From the moment you walk in, there's a cozy, earthy vibe that matches their mission: organic, ethically sourced coffee done right. I tried their Vanilla Latte -- it was smooth, bold, and not overly sweet. You can really taste the quality of the beans. Their latte had a rich, creamy with just the right hint of natural vanilla. Their baked goods are also worth mentioning -- the pastries are fresh, not overly processed, and pair perfectly with their drinks.

    Horchata  Classic Cold Brew

    I've been meaning to try this place for a while and I'm so glad I did! Groundwork Coffee is a cute neighborhood coffee shop and study spot, serving up delicious lunches, breakfast and coffee to-go. Known for their cold brews, I got their Horchata Cold Brew. My two favorite things combined into one and I loved it! It was sweet, creamy, and cinnamon-y. The staff was super kind and quick! I'll have to come back to try their lunch bowls soon!

    Matcha latte
    Alex K.

    The most mid coffee. And the matcha gets a 0/5. Like just take it off the menu... The service was nice and there was a good amount of space so there's that! But with the plethora of coffee/matcha options in Larchmont, I'd skip this place.

    Hanging with my niece having coffee and "coffee tawk" about her upcoming 21st birthday celebration in Miami next week... firstly, $50 for bfast is ridiculously expensive for what we got... (including tip)... The wonderful vibe of Larchmont village has changed. People trying to park getting all pissed off and honking at one another ( seriously such uncool behavior )... way too angry attitudes on such a beautiful day. Their coffee was good! But, the experience was meh. I will NOT return here nor Larchmont Village on a weekend nor any time soon. And I am still hungry.

    After spending $30 in drinks, in addition to tipping, I'm disappointed to say I regret shopping here and don't encourage anyone to choose this particular place with the many other coffee shops there are to choose from in this city. I don't appreciate employees rolling their eyes at me, rushing people through their orders, or generally acting like I'm bothering them while trying to order. I don't expect every barista to be a raging ball of sunshine, but I think managing to not be dismissive and exasperated with customers is a pretty reasonable bar to expect people to reach. Plus, aggressively putting away tables and chairs an hour before you close is kind of wild in my opinion. Doing so in a manner that is loud and abrasive enough to startle guests, and then continuing to do so (I'm assuming to encourage people to get out) is sort of the nail in the coffin. I don't know if the employees need to be paid more, are overworked and need more breaks, or if they're instructed to give off the vibe of "I really would like to be anywhere but here"--either way, it's not for me. Decent amount of places to sit (before the employees decide to remove all the seating because they are ready to go), but the music is absurdly loud, so it's a bit hard to hear anything (including your drink being called--and they couldn't care less if you heard them or not). Drinks were fine, though certainly not worth the price, which I suppose has become the norm for coffee shops like this anyway. Nothing to write home about.

    Beehive matcha latte
    Rebecca T.

    First time trying Groundwork Coffee, and I'm a fan! Just stopped by for a quick, midday drink to cool off: I opted for the Beehive matcha latte, which was delicious! Not too thick, not too watery, and the matcha worked harmoniously with the honey flavor. Honestly, I would come back just for that drink; it certainly hit the spot on a hot summer's day!

    At least they were generous with the arugula because there's about 1/10 of an avocado scraped on this avo toast.
    Tandis H.

    I'm glad we ordered a coffee (we almost didn't) because it ended up being the only good part of our meal. We got the Vietnamese iced coffee and it was good. The breakfast sandwich was very skimpy. The amount of kale they put on it was funny. And it wasn't worth $9. The avocado toast was even worse omg. Never in my life have I seen less avocado on an avocado toast. You can tell they had trouble scraping on a thin enough layer to even make it green. Pretty pissed. I don't remember the price but I can tell you it's not worth it. The egg was raw and over cooked at the same time idk.

    DoorDash Prices... kinda cray
    Samantha B.

    Okey dokey- i got the vegan breakfast burrito (delivery) this morning and I thought it was very good! It was large and tasty. Here's why I'm giving three stars- There was a receipt on the bag from the restaurant and the prices are much higher on DoorDash (and Uber Eats!) than they are in the store. No, I'm not talking about the already crazy fees these delivery apps charge... I'm talking about the actual price of the items. How greedy can you be!? The burrito was FOUR DOLLARS MORE - once again remember I'm not even talking about any fees- and the TEENY thing of hot sauce was a dollar and thirty cents.... Also, the hot sauce is not hot at all. I was in the mood for hot sauce and never even opened the additional one I got. I'm going to have to keep an eye on these restaurants bc I know some others do the same thing. I am not the kind of person to nitpick prices and talk about how unbelievably expensive things are (even tho they are pretty out of control) but when you have a price difference at all, especially such a vast one, to me that seems deceitful and genuinely just greedy and disgusting. I understand this economy is crazy and business owners have costs of course... but hello- u need customers don't u? Sad to say I don't think I'll order again.

    Pumpkin cold brew latte: 2 stars.   Good pumpkin flavor, but too much milk for my taste
    Dakota D.

    I took my dog for a walk in the Larchmont area and happened to walk by this Groundwork Coffee shop. I'm a cold brew black, no sugar kind of coffee drinker. I was somehow talked into trying the pumpkin cold brew coffee. Pumpkin Cold Brew Coffee: 2 stars. I did not finish the drink. The pumpkin flavor of the cold brew itself was quite good, but that's the only good thing I can say about this drink. I am not a big latte drinker, however I know how to make a latte. I think the pumpkin cold brew had way too much milk as my coffee was very pale in color. I'm not sure why most places in the United States like to add extra milk in their coffee beverages. I'm glad I tried this beverage as it serves as a reminder for me to stick to what I know and love. Ham and Cheese Croissant: 4 stars Good Croissant. It would be better if this was served warm, and if they used a separate tong to scoop up the savory pastries and the sweet pastries. My ham and cheese croissant had a bit of sugar on the bottom of it.

    4.5 Yelp Stars *** Stopped by here to pick up coffee before…read morethe long roadtrip home to the Bay Area! This was one of the closer coffee spot with good reviews that I found near the kbbq place (Seogwan by Yellow Cow Kbbq) my family and I ate at for lunch. It was about 0.5miles (3 mins drive). The coffee shop is super large, bright, and has nice background music. There are plenty of seats for people to hang out or study. There are also street parking but can be difficult to cross the street due to cars driving by so quickly without a pedestrian crosswalk on one side. I ordered their signature drink which was the orange espresso tonic with one extra shot for my husband, and the double mango matcha for myself. Both of us really enjoyed the drinks, especially the orange espresso tonic. It was refreshing, clean, and easy to drink. Normally, they include double shots of espresso, which may have tasted stronger for me since my husband wanted three shots, and I usually stick with two shots. The double mango matcha uses fresh fruit syrup so the mango flavor was not too strong and my drink was very creamy due to the signature mango cream on top. Usually, I would enjoy a creamy matcha but it made me more thirsty on a hot day. The service took a bit of time since they had to mix my matcha the legit way with the bamboo whisk. The matcha tasted like premium, ceremonial matcha since it was stronger and authentic in taste. Overall, both drinks were enjoyable but if I had to choose one, I would go with the orange espresso tonic even though I love mango matcha!

    The matcha latte is alright. For the price, I think I'd gravitate toward another café. It was $19…read morefor two matchas...that I didn't think tasted worth the price. Service was standard. If you plan to sit here, there's a one-drink-per-person minimum. The café itself is aesthetic and filled with natural light. The drink has that bitter matcha flavor, which I'm usually okay with, but this one wasn't very smooth. It left an aftertaste that I didn't enjoy.
