This little gem is worth walking an extra 5 minutes from the main square. Visited first with a local and returned with my husband, who is very picky about his mochas.
Lucky for us, Orla—the most gracious and wonderful barista—was there for both visits. In addition to her friendly demeanor, Orla serves up delicious coffee.
Though the delights of Grounded Coffee are served from a cute little food truck, they offer plenty of seating… even a cozy, inside area with heat and comfortable seating. And there are great views too.
Can’t wait to return!

CoffeeFriendly staffTasty foodViews & location
I am in from the US for six weeks and already Grounded Coffee and Orla (the cheerful woman behind the magic) are making me feel right at home. We are from the Pacific Northwest and are pretty judgmental when is coming coffee. Favors, artistry, consistency are all on display. Grounded Coffee even has an enclosed hut overlooking the harbor for those rainy days.
Great coffee in a picturesque setting
Very friendly staff
Dog friendly
Plenty of parking
