Grounds Coffee

Note: Opened 5/15/23 @ former drive through site that used to be Black Rock, Turtle Coffee, and Red Rock.Welcome Grounds Coffee Co. to North Seattle. The drive through is located at 143rd & Aurora/Hwy 99 next door to Kidd Valley, close to the Seattle - Shoreline border. This indie chain has other established sites located in Woodinville, Mukilteo, Snohomish, and Kenmore.I stopped by during their Grand Opening on 5/15/23. Very nice and upbeat barista that morning. Tasty, perfectly crafted iced mocha! Started a punch card too.Second visit was after a stop at the nearby Bitter Lake Post Office on 5/31/23. Thankful to see two baristas onsite, including the previous upbeat one. Again, good to report consistently crafted iced mochas. I got my usual 16oz and a 32oz (6 shots!) one for The Homie.Their beverage and light bites menu is vast. So many choices and reasonably priced. Definitely recommended!

YUMMY. I'm so excited that there is a coffee stand that offers speciality coffee drinks and energy drinks (redbull & Lotus!) in Seattle. It's so hard to find good stands once you get this far into Seattle, as most are on the East side of I5 or much further North. I'm in Ballard, and I have been driving to Edmonds just for Lotus Energy drinks. Tried out Grounds and I'll definitely be back when I'm craving a treat. Prices are pretty up there, but I wasn't surprised by this - I'm sure there's some sort of "sugar" tax they have to pay due to the ridiculous Seattle taxes. $18 before tip for 24oz Dragon Breeze pink lotus and a bagel sandwich. Both of the workers were kind, the guy working was much more talkative and patient which I appreciated. The candies and fruit on my lotus were fresh and soft. Bagel sandwich was okay - bagel itself was yummy and seemed fresh, however the egg and bacon were eh, probably wont get it again but will try some of their other food options!Advice to the owner(s): please put prices on the menu!

We love Grounds! Super friendly staff, delicious and elaborate drinks, and they make the best pup cups!! I've had coffee, energy drinks, shakes - it's all been so good. Their portions and toppings are very generous.

Tried this place recently when family was in town - we loved it and have been back every weekend since! My family got some of the energy drinks blends and LOVED them. We've had a few coffee based beverages at this point and haven't been disappointed yet. This place is a regular stop now, the baristas are always so kind and friendly. The cloud foams are my favorite add on, especially the pumpkin one on the fall seasonal menu. Don't forget to ask for a punch card if you're a frequent flier.

This drive thru coffee place is very near to us. Since we have come to reside in this area we have seen 3 businesses come and go. Now Grounds coffee. I always like to go through the menu before trying a new place, I must say I was floored seeing how they served their drinks. Couldn't wait to try.Their were only 3 cars in front of us, service was slow. Their was only 1 barista taking care of all the orders. She took our order, to which I mentioned to make both less sweet. When we came around at the pick up window. She had forgotten it all.We ordered:-Malibu Mocha- Overly Sweet and bitter.Scotcheroo Latte- Did not taste of any butterscotch or chocolate or peanut butter. Just overtly sweet and bitter coffee.Overall, I was drawn to the presentation, it was goood but can the same thing be said about the flavor ?.

-Very friendly staff -Cool drinks -Efficient drive thru system, quick service Would highly recommend for Italian Red Bulls in the Seattle area. :)

The drink was so good!It was pretty, which is mostly why I visited from far away. It was nice to pickup while going on a road trip. I thought that the service was good but it took a pretty long time for the drink to get ready. It was probably because the staff there said that it was their first time creating my drink. The Frozen Peach Swirl was about 8 dollars p

Awesome drinks, comes with candy and the service was great! I would get these drinks everyday if I could. And the food is also delicious. I got the sandwich and was very pleased.

I can't say enough great things about Grounds Coffee (Shoreline). Emma, my weekly barista is fantastic. Not only does she make the most amazing drinks for me each Friday but she also is the sweetest, kindest human. I appreciate her being a real human, talking to me about my life, her life and everything in between. She is not just a barista to me, she is also a friend. So thank goodness for this Shoreline location for bringing me weekly happiness even on the hard work days. The whole team is amazing but if you are looking for someone special to brighten your day look for Emma. :)

Such a fun coffee spot! The baristas are so sweet and take their time to make the drinks look and taste extra special! I drive 20 minutes out of my way to get a special drink!
