Progressive Grounds

Neighborhood Bernal spot with a good atmosphere, and outdoor space. Reliable smoothies and light meal options. Nothing terribly spectacular, but hit the spot. Come on a nice weather day and sit outside! The whole place has an airy vibe.

I have come to this place often, even though it's quite a schlepp from my house, because I loved their Tuna Lavash. A few Sundays ago I was craving said wrap, so I headed over. I arrived somewhere around 4:30 p.m. They close at 6 p.m. I ordered a Tuna Lavash, and they told me the grill was already closed for the day.Closed 10 minutes before 6 o'clock I could understand, but a full hour and a half? I was furious, and I won't be back.

One of the neighbors asked me to meet them at this lovely location. I've been looking for an affordable comfortable yet intimate Café, and I had no idea what I was gonna come upon. Bernal heights is an adorable quaint neighborhood and it looks great. I hadn't been there in a couple years for sure. This place is charming Homie. Definitely has old-school charm. The staff are friendly and affable. Patient and treat each customer as their family. The offerings are simple and direct affordable and they serve people at a nice pace to be aware that sometimes there's peak moments in the rest of the time it's quite quiet. I ordered the egg and cheese on a croissant. The croissant was perfect. You could actually taste the cheddar it was nice and thick in the egg was light and fluffy and for the price it was a steel. My latte was nice and smooth and balanced. I love how they offered me one or two shots at the same price point regardless, and they had an easy check out they made the beverage quickly and handed it to me and then brought the sandwich to me and a beautiful cute tray with the napkin cut in half so it was easy to bite down and really taste an incredible croissant. Locals really love this destination. You hear a lot of Neighbor chatter. And it has a front and a back and a patio so we can accommodate small groups of people. I can't wait to go back and try some more fair but in the morning if I need a place to hunker down or to read, I think this is a really good choice for many people. this is the Hallmark of a neighborhood establishment people like to go there and gather and stay in. This is exactly what type of business this is. It is a hallmark of the neighborhood.

I will often make a special trip to Bernal Heights to get a Tuna Melt Wrap. They are delicious. today I came in to order one at 4:40 p.m., and they told me their grill was closed for the day. They're open until 6:00 p.m. I got to say I am very very disappointed. I will not be coming back because if I can't rely on their posted schedule I don't want to waste my time getting here only to be disappointed.

A cute hidden gem in Bernal heights. The staff is very sweet and the service is great. I loved that they have ample space to sit and work, read a book or catch up with a friend. The inside is nice and cozy with cushions, and I also love their outdoor patio out back - all the spaces are very inviting and that is what I like the most about this cafe. As for the food and drinks, we have tried the white chocolate mocha here which was pretty good, kefta bagel- it was our first time trying kefta and we liked it, banana bread and smoothies. They also serve Mitchell's ice cream, wine and beer.

This is a super cute cafe in Bernal Heights. It was a delight to discovered that they have a beautiful outdoor garden patio in the back, and also a rear lounge with comfortable pillowed seatings with large bright windows looking into the outdoor patio, and walls adored with ethnic arts. We enjoyed our lunch there, which were the croque monsieur sandwiches and the grilled salmon wrap. You ordered at the counter and get a number, and the server bring the food to you. It was a nice place for a respite after our morning hike in the hills nearby.

Ambience of this place is nice and has good seating, but the food and drink are mediocre. Ordered a smoothie ($10) plus lox bagel with cucumber and onion ($12) and the layer of lox was so thin it wasn't even visible in a cross section. Smoothie was additionally under poured and lukewarm.

My friend and I came here for a quick lunch since we were nearby, I ordered Marco's chicken pesto and an iced caramel macchiato. The chicken pesto was good, except the olives that were in the wrap were overly salty. The service was fast, even with a line. It's a great cafe to get work done as they provide cushion seating area as well as patio seating.

When it comes to coffee shops if you've been to one you've been to them all unless they have something unique about them. Progressive grounds stands out with its amazing menu of Moroccan inspired foods. Their sandwiches, wraps, plates, and soups makes every visit unique and has made it into my weekly rotation.Taking my laptop and inhabiting a corner in the extensive sitting area has been one of the best parts of my week.With a calm atmosphere, it makes even the rainiest day tolerable.The service is so kind, and so efficient, progressive grounds has made its way into my heart as one of my favorite coffee shops!

My favorite place to work from while grabbing a lovely lunch. I am a fan of the Mediterranean plate and basically all the wraps. Great staff, fun but quiet atmosphere, and true community feel.Coffee seems very good but to be honest most coffee tastes pretty good to me. Back patio is really nice as well and gets good coverage from the wifi for nice days too!
