The Meating Ground Cafe

Oh man! Why oh why did I wait so long to try this place?! It is TOP tier. I have not found a better sandwich in Greenville, and certainly gives a run for its money to Triangle place I've tried. It is a beautiful place. Shaina has done a beautiful job making it look both inviting and cozy as well as aesthetically pleasing. It is boho and mid-century with lots of plants. Stunning! Shaina and husband, Matt are easy going and easy to talk to. Their passion for customer care is evident and just sitting there watching interactions, I noticed lots of regulars and friendly relationships with patrons. We all chatted at length too!The food was unexpectedly tasty. I had no idea. I got a simple chicken and bacon and avocado with side salad at about 11:31 and by 11:38, my brain exploded (in the best possible way). The flavors!! Parmesan crusting in the bread, each element of the sandwich imbued with careful flavor attention. Even the blue cheese for my salad had stone ground mustard in it - I've never had that - and it was great! Moved in to coffee and a cinnamon roll, which obviously revived me from the dead and filled me with the joy of 1,000 suns. It was so good! I am already planning to be back next week as I conveniently scheduled a meeting there....or should I say...meating!

I love this place! I have been here two or three times now. I have been with a friend friend and I have also been on a double date. This is such a great lunch spot. I love the amazing offerings for entrées as well as sides. The ambience of the restaurant is also really cute - it is warm and inviting. It is a fun place to take people, especially people visiting the area. The only thing that is a little strange is having to figure out that you order the food yourself at the register but once you know that it is totally fine. happy this place came Winterville.

Spectacular place for an upper end brunch. Ordered two entrees because I couldn't decide - both were excellent. Dirty Chai was top notch and I order that everywhere I go. (Also the fanciest I have ever been served.). Owner was proud of her food, service and place - and she should be. Came over and spoke for a bit. Definitely be here again next visit to Greenville.

I recently tried this restaurant for the first time. The food here was outstanding! I got the southern crunch wrap and a mocha latte. My daughter got the El Dorado. All of the ingredients were very fresh. Food was outstanding. Prices were a bit high but well worth it.

Every time my family comes in to visit from Charlotte we stop in here to get some breakfast! There is something for everyone in our family. The ambiance is refreshing, calming, it transports you to a JOYOUS place. I got the Shaina's Avocado Toast, named after to owner. It's delightful all the flavors come together in your mouth. My daughter loves their yogurt and granola bowl, my husband and son get their Bacon-Egg-Cheese Biscuit With Cheesy Hashbrowns. I will add at types it does feels like like if you are "not a usual" you feel a bit left out. I am happy see this business thriving, the did get the 2022 Winterville Favorite Business Award. So happy for Shaina and her family!

My friend brought my fiancé and I here for brunch and wow what a treat! First, the ambience and decor is inviting and charming. The staff was helpful and provided insight into food and drink choices. I had an iced latte and the avocado toast and it was amazing! I've had my fair share of avocado toast but the flavors were perfect. The jammy egg on top was also a nice touch! It comes on a toasted sourdough with goat cheese, tomatoes, pickled onion and balsamic glaze. Highly recommend! My fiancé went with a side of the cheesy hash brown casserole which was probably the best form of breakfast potatoes I've had! He also had the crunch wrap which was thick with eggs, cheese, guac, bacon and Fritos to add a nice crunch! My friend had the grilled Reuben which she said was delicious with a side of the pickled cucumbers which were a combination of sweet and spicy! Overall, a 10/10 experience with great food. Worth a visit for sure!

The food was amazing and the service was outstanding. My wife and I both enjoyed our meals and coffee - highly recommend

Breakfast, coffee and service were phenomenal!! The pimento and cheese, egg and bacon jam biscuit, hash brown casserole and the white chocolate blackberry latte were MONEY!! This was a treat!!

Such good food and the vibes are amazing. Service was quick and attentive. 100% will be back again

came across this place while stuck in Greenville one day waiting for vehicle repairs. My wife and I wandered in and were greeted by one of the friendliest staffs I have ever encountered. There was just a happy atmosphere in the place. The menu was very interesting and my wife ordered a salad and I ordered, a pimento cheese biscuit and eggs. In addition, we shared a cinnamon roll. All dishes were absolutely terrific. Probably the best cinnamon roll we've ever had. The egg dish was a pure delight and the salad refreshing and substantial. We highly recommend this place.
