Large assortment of delicious, high quality pastries to go along with a cup of coffee. My highlights are the crispy edges and delicately soft scones, the chocolate croissant, and the almond croissant, with just the right amount of sweetness. The quiches look delicious too… For my next trip to town.

Good spot to have a morning coffee inside and outside.

Bright white little beach abode neighbor to the greatest of California's posh places, this Indiana traveler found mild wet February is more severe than Midwest blizzards! A bit funny I had the streets to myself to trot in, order a cherry valentine's latte from the cute barista, and he whipped it right up into a glass. Everything brewed is better in glass. Wish this espresso hug shop was not sixteen hundred miles away but maybe those airline miles cards are not a complete sham after all. Can easily recommend Grounded for those moments needing wings.

The girl who helped us was a brunette with a pink claw clip and she was so kind and helpful. The banana pancake latte was sooooo good and really unique. Really lovely experience :)

I love this coffee shop. They have amazing coffee, great staff and the cookies! Anytime I’m driving past it I will stop, and sometimes go a little off my path to go here. Everyone I’ve met that works here is amazing!

This is my new favorite spot. It’s pricey for me but everything I’ve tried has been very delicious and smooth. The atmosphere gives Provincetown, MA and I love that so much. I haven’t tried any of the food but the selection is a great range and same with the drinks menu. Again, it’s a treat for me bc I’m not in the $7+ for 12oz drinks tax bracket but it’s a great place overall. (I get a small iced latte with oatmilk and SF caramel which quickly increases the price.) Service is quick yet attentive. I’ve had nothing but friendly interactions with the staff and other patrons!

Great place of you are on a road trip and need a coffee! They have BUCKET SIZE coffee and just absolutely love the sizing variety! People were there to study and work as well so I think it is great place for that locally as well!

Great Corner Café with Warm Vibes and a Perfect Decaf Latte Grounded Coffee House in Corona Del Mar is the kind of neighborhood gem you instantly fall in love with. I ordered a hot decaf café latte with coconut milk, and it was smooth, rich, and made with just as much care as a regular shot—no compromise on flavor. The barista was incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating such a positive, laid-back vibe. It’s a cozy corner café that feels like a little escape, perfect for relaxing solo or catching up with a friend. Can’t wait to come back!

We found Grounded Coffee House while driving home from San Diego and taking the scenic beach route — so glad we stopped! Their decaf espresso was strong and delicious, just what I needed for the drive. The staff was super friendly, and I loved their cute logo so much that I bought a sticker to remember the visit. A charming little coffee stop — we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

Stopped in randomly after a long beach day...Needed some caffeine before jumping in 2 hours of traffic. Had no idea what to get, the chick at the counter was very helpful and patient. Ordered 4 different drinks and they all were Excellent. Birthday cake latte was a hit with the kidos....Like the Terminator, "I'll be back"

My favorite local coffee shop, hands down. Beyond the amazing coffee the staff is always so pleasant. Brittany the owner is a true gem. Not only will you leave caffeinated but your spirit will be heightened from the beautiful energy of the shop.

Grounded Coffeehouse in Newport Beach is a hidden gem! Had a great experience with Abby and Nick as well as its founder (Brittany). I was displaced from the LA fires and they offered me a discount. I had their Matcha tea with a shot of espresso, and it was absolutely incredible—perfectly creamy with a rich, earthy flavor that was so satisfying. The cafe itself is stylish and inviting, with a laid-back vibe that’s perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. The staff are friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. If you’re a Matcha lover or just looking for a great coffeehouse in Newport Beach, this place is a must-visit!

We had a nice experience at this coffee shop. We were looking for a local coffee shop to hang out at for a while, and this one was nice. The coffee was good however the atmosphere when we went was a little loud, but we didn’t mind too much. The staff was also lovely and accommodating.

We were looking for a good coffee shop while in the Newport area. Well we found an amazing coffee shop when we found Grounded Coffee. The Bakery items (at least the cookies) are made in-house. The coffee was amazing and we even picked up some beans. It was the only coffee spot we went to all week (had to go back each day),

Stopped by Grounded Coffee for a mid-trip delight; pictured is an iced Mocha latte that’s light on the flavoring, intentionally, and a confection of Cookies! My wife got the no-sugar Paleo along with two normal OG chocolate chips! I went for the peppermint hot cocoa cookie to compliment my beverage and they paired well together. The staff here are super friendly and made the experience well worth it; easily earned a return visit for that alone!

4.5 stars. Cool lil spot in cdm. Had some time to kill before a rehearsal at 5 crowns. I got the house coffee and blueberry muffin. Both were excellent and employees were top notch. Friendly and knowledgeable. Would def come back again. They have a restroom behind the building. Great vibe. Thx Grounded. Y’all rock!!

The cookies and pastries were just okay at best. I had hoped they would be somewhat fresh, even if only a couple of hours old, but it felt like I got leftover pastries from a buffet after an entire workday. I can only wonder what the coffee tastes like at the same hour.

Came here on a weekend morning and ordered a latte, the breakfast burrito, and some cinnamon roll pastry. Everything was pretty disappointing. Latte was incredibly mediocre. Burrito was honestly pretty bad and definitely not freshly made (over-baked tortilla, filled with primarily tater tots and one overcooked egg; also it was super small). The pastry (which the cashier recommended) was whatever. At least the service was friendly and the outdoor seating is nice, but the stuff is way too expensive here to not taste better.

Unfortunately I received a sad breakfast burrito, which stung more because it was $16.

The space is nice with a convenient location and decent service. For the location and price point I was excited to try some high quality coffee from Laguna beach. It may have been the worst espresso drink that I have ever had. No flavor, lowest quality flavorings, and overpriced food. Please go somewhere else that cares about quality.

This is the 2nd time this week I've paid for a DECAF and got caffeinated. I even confirmed with the barista because there was no D on the cup (like there normally is) and he said yes. Now that I'm going to urgent care, he must've been too lazy to remake it. Barista was the same guy as last time too. Some people order decaf because they cannot have caffeine. Not a simple mix up!!
