Well Grounded

Amazing bagels and coffee. Loved that it was organic coffee as well. Service was friendly and quick with orders.

I've been coming to Well Grounded in El Cerrito since we've moved to the area ~ not only was this a safe haven during maternity leave, but also one of El Cerrito's most beloved coffee/bagel/brekkie grab & go spots. They do so much for the community, and love seeing their name and involvement in all things local.As a huge bagel and coffee gal, I appreciate my go-to's. Well Grounded does breakfast bagel sandwiches, I love the egg and cheese with havarti (I like to add avo and their special Larrupin Mustard for an extra cost). They also have lox options and meat options for their bagels & brekkie bagels, with specialty sandwiches like the Avocado Open Face and Grilled Turkey Pesto. For the price, I think there is a slight miss on portion sizes matching the value, but still solid and quality. There are seasonal drink/food specials and now an inclusion of local beer from the cooler. Also, a fun game to follow along and play with is their Name of the Day that they place outside for a complimentary house-made drink. Limited seating upstairs, but pro-tip for those on a walk with kiddo/doggy, head up the street like you're walking to 7-11 and make your first left at the corner for their outdoor seating.

The sandwiches and coffee here are excellent. Can't get enough, keep coming back for more. Service is also excellent. What a neighborhood gem, so grateful for passing by and deciding to drop in that one day, now it's a favorite place for snacking on the run.

Nice neighborhood place with good simple sandwich and coffee. We usually go when we need to pick up something for a picnic.

Lovely local spot for breakfast, lunch or a beer. Delicious bagels. Efficient and friendly.

The most amazing veggie bagel topped eyed cucumber , avocado and tomato!Well grounded is a hidden gem in el Cerrito! They have a good variety of SANDWICHES and salads !Service was excellent and highly recommended!

We love this place! If you're in the area, it's worth a visit. It's a cozy, friendly environment with solid food and light bite options.

First time here and I was honestly drooling over having a morning bun. I never had one of these before and I LOVED this. For those that never tried this, it looks like a cinnamon roll but it's made out of a croissant dough with sugar sprinkled on top. The inside of the bun is also nice and soft. Parking wasn't bad. It's just on a street so be prepared to parallel park. They are also slightly busy in the morning so be prepared to wait but they have an online ordering system too. I would highly suggest this place for anyone that likes to explore coffee shops!

This is a great neighborhood coffee place with terrific made to order food. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Jenny and Kevin, the owners, have created a much appreciated gathering place for El Cerrito.

I got some bagels, a sandwich and an iced coffee from here today. The sandwich was 'hecka good' according to my 13 year old, and the iced coffee was delicious and strong. I also spilled my *entire* first iced coffee, and the young folks working there were so sweet, refused my help cleaning it, and gave me another iced coffee no charge.
