Great coffee...great service...smells so good in there! Always busy when I go! Highly recommend!

Several fair trade organic coffee choices in quantity of your choice freshly ground. Small space inside but packed with goodness. There are a few grab and go bites and latte drinks. Some odds and ends like a local gift shop. read more

SO thankful this is in the beautiful town of Sherman, CT. It's a coffee roaster/shop with a small town vibe, amazing coffee and cute local artisan gifts and some delicious local baked goods. Worth a visit if you are going through the area. Also, it is a local's favorite. John is welcoming and a very cool person. A coffee lovers dream. I hope this sticks around for a very long time!!!!!!!! read more

Sacred Grounds is our go to for coffee! It's close enough to not be too far and they always have all the goods. I personally love the staff and how kind and knowledgeable they are. Now that they're only operating through a little window it's even better. You get out of your car, ring the little doorbell, someone awesome comes out to take your order from the menu on their window. You ask questions, they answer them all and recommend to you a custom roast right for you taste! In these times it's so important to support local business but also people that are passion about their work and what they do. Coffee is an art and I'm thankful that they're open and let us bring home all the goodness! Coffee is community and sacred grounds is AMAZING. read more

"The coffee here is always perfectly roasted and bursting with flavor. friendly atmosphere Thank you John,Deb, and Cheryl.

Sacred Grounds is a wonderful, wonderful coffee roaster with coffee and light snacks for takeout, "hidden" (but not really) right in the middle of our one-stoplight town. Yelper Don F. finally gave me the extra nudge I needed to stop in... and now I'm seriously mad at myself for not trying Sacred Grounds sooner. All coffee sold here is organic and fair trade, roasted with a light hand to minimize bitterness and maximize the nutty / fruity notes. To channel my favorite Top Chef contestant of all time, Carla Hall, this coffee tastes like it's roasted with love! I can't say enough nice things about the owner, John Rich, who works the COVID-safe takeout window and has evidently donated coffee for Sherman School SPTO meetings for years. He's kind, friendly, low-key and welcoming. (Nice profile here: https://candlewoodlakemagazine.com/2016/02/22/sacred-grounds-coffee-roasters-brewing-up-a-successful-business-that-rocks/) Sacred Grounds is conveniently located right across the street from school, next to the Painted Lemon (though in this town, what isn't? ;). It feels like a wonderful mini vacation to drop the kids off, get my beautifully made cup of drip coffee served in an environmentally friendly-ish paper cup (post pandemic, I wonder if I could bring my own mug?), and drive somewhere for a nice morning hike, coffee in hand, before commuting back to my "office" (guest bedroom). Two human kids and one pup in, I'm no longer a coffee snob. (At 5 a.m. after two hours of sleep, sometimes instant coffee is just how ya gotta roll.) But even I can appreciate the quality of the roasting here, and recognize that I have to give it the time it deserves to properly enjoy it. read more

Great local coffee roaster!! Sells cups of coffee to go too!! Very friendly and personable owner. Truly a "Support your local business" example. read more

While the town of Sherman is small, it's nice to have a coffee shop in town. This isn't your cut and dry coffee shop, as they also allow you to buy grounds and beans from their large variety of flavor options. I haven't had the opportunity to taste many, but there is a great amount to choose from with lots of interesting notes and flavors. You can also pop in for a single drink. I love the iced coffee. It has great flavor and does not taste bitter. Prices are fair as well. Nice staple in town. read more

If you want some solid coffee, this is the place to go. The man roasts the coffee himself! Reasonably priced with good customer service. read more

It's hard to find fresh Ethiopian coffee that isn't over roasted or sitting on the shelves for weeks. This place has it and it is so smooth! Best cup of coffee in the county by a ling shot. read more

Most people drink coffee, imo lousy tasting coffee, adding sweeteners and flavors. Some people.just like black coffee or coffee with milk or cream and no sweetener: they enjoy the actual coffee flavor. For those of you that don't want to add sweeteners and flavors to be able to drink your coffee, Sacred Grounds is the coffee for all. I could not believe there is no bitter aftertaste! You simply won't believe you have been drinking bitter coffee most of your life. If you're not sure which to try first go for Supernatural, Mexican Chiapas (I like the medium blend) and of course Ethiopian Yirgacheffe or Komodo Dragon. John knows his coffee. Most coffee roasters do not. read more

The coffee is phenomenal. Certainly the best in the region. Among the best that I've tried in my world travels. Dozens of varieties of beans, all fresh roasted right there in the shop. Freshly brewed coffee and espresso are also available. Although there are a few prepackaged snacks available, no food is prepared here--coffee is the star of the show! Sacred Grounds happens to be on my morning commute, and I feel like I hit the jackpot to have such a great cup of coffee everyday as I head to work. Icing on the cake: the coffee is served in compostable cups. read more

There's Mecca and then there is Sacred Grounds. If you appreciate the best coffee, your soul will be nurtured here. Step through the door into the heart of the operation with espresso machine, two coffee roasters, ten 150 pound coffee sacks, and good company. The John, the proprietor, will serve up the best brews from beans sourced across the world. The standard espresso blend served combines Mexican and Guatemalan to a marvelous chocolate note. Start there. To memorialize your pilgrimage and to spread the word to the faithful you might consider the stylish hoody (always a hit with Belichick fans), or knitted beanie for the cool days, or a handy insulted cup (discounted refills). Sherman locals will linger and you can catch the color and attitudes of small town New England in its western most haunts. Blink and you'll miss it. It's directly across the street from the local elementary school. read more

Absolutely love this little shop. It is authentic and not a chain. I get my coffee beans here and have them ground the way I like them so my coffee is not bitter. The owner is friendly and informative and the place smells divine!! read more

Amazing. My new favorite go-to for coffee beans. Try the Supernatural Dark. read more

Sacred Grounds Coffee Roasters - Coffee by the half or full pound. Whole bean or freshly ground. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Sherman, Connecticut

Local. Organic Knowledgeable. Friendly. . john and his wife are simply the best "caffeine dealers" on the planet. Their rather large selection of coffees is sure to please your palette. Buy whole bean , or have them grind for you, but either way you won't be disappointed. PANDEMIC UPDATE: they are fully open for business but you order thru the window! Friends don't let friends drink burnt coffee. Buy local , shop at sacred grounds and leave the char to those who don't know any better. read more

Great iced coffee! Only to-go, perfect for grabbing on the way home or leaving for work. Friendly owner.

Great Coffee and Great Coffee Beans. We always buy a cup while we buy our beans to use at home. I like the outside window to help keep us all safe. read more

I placed an online order for pickup and not only was it totally painless but the coffee was amazing as always. I got the Ted's Blend and the Maya Dark Decaf. Originally I had placed an order for a different kind of decaf, but they were totally swamped and I let them know that I absolutely didn't mind if they needed to sub that part of my order. I got apologized to by two different people a few different times even though I was totally happy with my order as it was. Their customer service is amazing, and I love the coffee window they've set up to deal with the COVID era. While there I got a latté for my drive home, and it was fantastic. I'll definitely be back for more beans soon! read more

Awesome business! Awesome coffee! Great variety of coffee. Definitely recommend supporting this business!

Best roasted beans in the area! When we have friends and family visiting, we always have them stop in. You can also get a cup to go.

Incredible coffee options, owner is very generous with his time and suggestions. What a find in a small town, best coffee I've had in as long as I can remember. Selection of beans is like something you'd find only in the best places in NYC, except without any pretentiousness. Live 90 minutes away but would definitely come back just for the coffee! read more

Absolutely delicious coffee!! Everything I've tried is my new favorite blend - currently sipping on the Chocolate Bomb, but I've also loved the Mexican Chiapas Medium and Ted's Blend Dark Roast. You can tell the amount of passion that John has for his craft! read more

Love the iced coffee!! Great service every time! A take out window was added so customers can safely order with out even having to go inside! read more

Being from Seattle, and having experience working for a top notch coffee roaster in the PNW, I know a good cup of coffee. Had a great time talking with John. He wasn't pretentious or snobby in any way, and his product was fantastic. He took time out of his busy day to converse with us, and prepared a pour-over to sample the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. It was a fantastic, complex cup! John, you have something special here. Keep it up! Quick note to anyone coming by: This is NOT a coffee shop or cafe. It is strictly a roasting facility / retail space. However, John is happy to offer samples of different coffees that he's roasted himself. It's very fresh, and very good. read more

Owner is always so nice and takes the time to answer questions. He also has recommended delicious coffee and I tried something new !

I've been buying coffee beans from Sacred Grounds for more than a year now. It's safe to say it is the best coffee in the region. John is extremely knowledgeable and helpful when picking my roasts. Usually there is a selection of 15 or 20 different origins, blends and roasts. There's also usually one or two brewed coffees to sample so I have an idea what some will taste like when I brew them at home. When I get my coffee from here, I feel confident it is a quality bean and it's been carefully roasted. read more

John (the owner) is extremely passionate about his craft and can give you suggestions based on what you like. I am becoming a bit of a snob, but this is the only place I will buy my beans. I brew it strong and drink it black!! I am so glad that there is a place like this in the town I live. read more

Stopped in this morning on a long bike ride. When they heard that I'd come all the way from nyc for a cup of coffee... they brewed me a new pot. Service is friendly.

I don't even know what organic fair trade is, but this​ may be the best coffee I've ever brewed. Glad to see this local coffee maker at some area grocery stores as well as his shop in Sherman! read more

It's great to find a small, local business that sells organic coffee beans. They carry so many different types and can be purchased whole, ground, or in k-cups. I've been buying the whole beans and am enjoying the supernatural blend lately, but like to try different ones now and then. They also sell cute handmade soaps and gifts. The people are knowledgeable and friendly here - never pretentious or make you feel pressured to buy - and I'll definitely continue to go back. read more

Best coffee, local and fair trade. Always available at my local market but I love to stop by and chat with the owner and roaster himself! Cannot get any better. read more

Great local coffee roaster. We bought two one pound bags, each of a different roast. The quality of the roasting is perfect. Too many roaster burn the beans, but these were perfect. They ground up nicely, brewed well and made a great cup. read more

I consider myself somewhat of a coffee snob. I've always been particular about my beans. John, the owner of Sacred Grounds coffee in Sherman Connecticut, can tell you the history of each batch of beans he roasts. This is a man who really knows his coffee. He loves talking about his craft and the pride he takes his product is plain to see. Sacred Grounds has some of the best tasting coffee I've ever had. Period. read more

It's always a delight to buy coffee at Sacred Grounds.

He will even brew you a free cup or two of coffee so you can taste before buying. Sacred Grounds has a good selection that includes 3 or 4 different water decafs as well. And they're pretty good for decaf. We're lucky to have a shop like this in Sherman! read more
