GROU Coffee + Cowork | Merrick Park

Finally got a chance to check out Grou Coffee + Cowork and I was so surprised by how packed Grou Coffee + Cowork was, but everyone shared the same vibe as I did--ready to enjoy a cafecito while getting some work done. It's definitely the perfect spot for that! I only got a chance to order an espresso but saw so many great options for my next visit. The menu has a wide variety of pastries, sandwiches, and delicious-looking affogatos that I neeeeed to try next time. The atmosphere is vibrant yet conducive to productivity, making it my new favorite place to work and indulge in great coffee!

A quick search for cafes led me here and it was such a pleasant surprise. This cafe is a good spot to take a seat and get some work done; fast WiFi, outlets available and not to much noise makes it perfect. They also have plenty of seating both inside and outside to you'll be able to grab a spot. Service wise, it's counter service so you order and they deliver your food. Everyone was very nice and my coffee / food was delivered to me super quick! Vibe wise it's very modern and simple! They have such cute glassware with great branding and the food looks delicious and is. Overall no complaints here! Will be coming back when I have a ton of work to do!

Great little spot, parking lot has 2 hr free parking, free WiFi, great coffee shop music, outlets, well lit, and a clean bathroom. The food menu is more breakfast oriented. Drink menu is limited but fair. There is ample table space without feeling over crowded. Drinks a bit on the slower side, but they'll bring it to your table so you don't need to focus on calling names/ numbers.

A lovely vibe to get some work done! It's bustling and vibrant but clean and not too cramped. Free WiFi, could use a few more outlets as far as I could see but there are a couple that aren't too tough to snag. Well set up to sit and work for a while with plenty of tables and the coffee is quite good.Only complaint is that they include a service charge which brings the coffee to the expensive end. I don't understand why an order at the counter establishment has this charge, or why it's not built into the price. Though the coffee was a tiny bit on the expensive side, it wasn't excessive and it's a fair enough price to pay for a nice place to work for an afternoon!

Beautiful, clean and super friendly. This place is outstanding for work meetups, working and grabbing an outstanding coffee or snack. I instantly wanted to try all of the beverages. They also have a plethora of gluten free options and healthier snack choices. I wlll be back!

Sooo how have I JUST seen this place!? It's off a side street walking distance from Merrick Park! The baristas were very helpful. There is a lot going on. Aside from their plentiful menu, there are also baked goods, juices, parfaits displayed.I went with my ole reliable--iced coffee with oat milk. It was great. I wanted to have a pastry, but I was starving, so I went with the Italian panini. It was crispy and stuffed with mozzarella cheese and prosciutto. It comes with a side of fig jam! I can't wait to return to try a few affogatos!

As with most other reviews, I agree that GROU is a unique, fun co-working space where you can order delicious coffee (no comment on food as I did not order) and get some work done. However, I found it hard to get work done even with my noise cancelling headphones due to the obnoxiously loud music. I get that this is not just a co-working space- it's a cafe shop anyone can slip into to grab a bite, chat with friends, etc. But if it's going to be advertised as a place where you can co-work, then the music has to be either very low or completely off. Coffee pictured was $9.50 which I also thought was a bit excessive. I will say they offer 2 free hours of street parking which is phenomenal and greatly appreciated!

My wife, son (10), and stepson (23) stopped in for coffee after finding street parking on the perimeter of the Shops at Merrick Park, on our way to shop there. We mainly wanted coffee and the little one only wanted a bottle of water. Everything was excellent and the staff were friendly. I ordered an iced oat latte which tasted perfect, not bitter at all and I do not take sugar. My wife had a cappuccino with 2% milk and two sugars (they added for her). She said it was al punto (on point). My stepson's cold brew served black with no sugar, something he orders almost daily at other place, was strong but smooth, he said. I would definitely go back. The food -- there's a tuna bowl I saw another patron order -- looks delicious. This area is quiet and civilized. I'm from New York originally, and this is how a cafe should be and how the overall atmosphere should be.

The best chagaccino I've had in a while! Chagaccinos are my favorite coffee drinks and GROU nailed it on the perfectly blend of chaga, espresso, and almond milk. Not to mention they have so many unique & healthy pastries, bites, and spreads. Great spot in Merrick Park. Highly recommend!

I'm such a fan of GROU! This is such a great spot for coffee, desserts, and more. The staff and manager are so accommodating and friendly. I've gone a few times and tried the latte, chagaccino, and ice latte- all delicious. I would definitely recommend stopping by and trying them out, you won't be disappointed. They offer co working and meeting spots for people who work remote.
