    Iced latte
    Aaron O.

    Visited Higher Ground Coffee on a whim and was impressed with the quick and friendly service. I waited less than 10 minutes in total from being in line to receiving my drinks which was great. This little coffee shop is nestled at the intersection of 2000 E & 3300 S in Millcreek. It's quaint and a bit eclectic inside so not ideal for larger groups, but there is a decent amount of seating outside. I ordered a basic iced coffee and it was solid enough for a pick me up but certainly not a best in class cup of coffee. My wife ordered the iced latte and enjoyed. They offer a number is sandwiches including vegan and vegetarian options. It's places like this that I wish Yelp would offer a half star because Higher Ground Coffee is better than most 4 star coffee shops but not quite elite. Parking is tight and very limited and there's no drive through. You need to time your visit just right or else you'll have to make a few loops around. Worth a visit if you're in Millcreek.

    Stopped in for a quick coffee and the staff member was incredibly sweet and fast! Super cute and small cafe coffee is very sweet but strong

    Egg sandwich and bagel sandwich. Chia tea and vanilla Latte
    Katy ..

    The chia tea is a milky sweet chia with little spice, but is still very tasty. The vanilla latte taste almost like a s'more with a "burnt" taste, it's not sweet but on the stronger espresso side. The bagel sandwich is good very temperate hot when you receive it fresh off the griddle. The egg sandwich lacks flavor in the eggs it's mostly the bread and cheese that you will taste. The environment is cute and cozy and you can tell a lot of locals enjoy the coffee shop. Everyone is so nice in the area. Overall a cute coffee shop that is good for the price.

    Came here for the first time today! I like this coffee shop has a wide variety of food options that aren't just all pastries or bagels. I ended up getting the La Sal sandwich and it was perfect! I was going to get the apenglow but the server said something like " she sold out of eggs for the day" so I'm assuming after a certain time (I went right at 11am) they stop doing sandwiches with eggs in it. I got a hazelnut latte half sweet with regular milk. Nothing to rave about it was good overall. Service was good! Food and drink came out fairly quick! I think the cozy vibe of this spot is fun! I wouldn't suggest planning on finding a spot to sit cause it seems like it gets full fast. They do have outside seating as well. Overall great experience!

    I've passed by this place a bunch of times and finally stopped in. It's a tiny little eclectic, homey coffee shop nestled in Millcreek. I got an iced chai, which is my go-to and it was yummy. They use pebble ice which is my fave. I was hoping to possibly work remotely from their space, but it's very tiny and there wasn't much seating. There was one table that someone was working at, a bar with one stool (the other one is broken, I asked), and two chairs by a fireplace if I'm remembering correctly. I was bummed that I couldn't work from here, but it's just not the vibe of this place anyways. It's more of a grab and go place, I wouldn't go here to settle in for a while or catch up with a friend, because everyone in the space would hear your convo. They do have a small patio for when it's warmer. Glad I finally checked it out!

    Service is always friendly and coffee is great. Got two iced Toffee crunch lattes for

    The coffee and bagels are delicious! Service is amazing, Meg and Samantha are the sweetest and absolutely made my day!

    Iced macha with one shot of espresso
    Santana H.

    Personal experience: such a beautiful coffee shop! I loved how small and well organized this spot is! And such an amazing place for it. But please do keep in mind that there is minimum sitting inside! I wouldn't recommend if you're coming here to do some work because that does take up all the space there but would totally recommend for those 1on1 conversations here! Drinks: I absolutely loved the Macha with one shot of espresso! And they have reasonable prices! a friend grabbed a small coffee and plus my Macha with Espresso all for 8$ plus tip it was around 11$ I cannot complain on this spot! Service: was great! They did help me build up drink to my liking and such a fast service when not in a rush! Would totally recommend tipping the workers.

    Wow, this place is huge! If I were still in school, this would be my new favorite coffee shop…read more There are lots of big tables and even a large sign for sharing Wi-Fi information. The owners are also really thoughtful toward children and have set up a little play station for toddlers. The owner said it just opened last month, and his goal is to keep everything organic with a focus on health-promoting drinks. He shared that the business is a celebration of his beating cancer and a place for people who want to improve their health. With so much seating, I could see this becoming a really popular hangout. They could even host board game or craft nights.

    This is a brand new coffee shop on the east side of town. They have an incredible focus on healthy…read moredrinks with a emphasis on all organic. They make a fantastic cup of coffee, and definitely worth stopping in. They also have a ton of specialty drinks that really put an emphasis on health, with organic fruits and teas. The shop is newly constructed with a super clean design. They built the shop with groups and community in mind with long tables, and plenty of seating. Bright spaces with art and jewelry displayed through out the shop. The owners are awesome, and are definitely working hard to make their shop a staple in the community. I would highly recommend coming by, having a chat, getting a drink and taking a moment to unwind.
