Customer Reviews
Mountain Grounds Coffee & Tea has a cozy atmosphere and a convenient location, but the drip coffee was not the best. It had a very strong, earthy flavor that just wasn’t to my taste. On the positive side, the ham and cheese croissant was absolutely delicious and easily the highlight of the visit. If you’re stopping by for a quick bite rather than just coffee, it’s worth checking out.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely love Mountain Grounds Coffee Shop! They have an incredible variety of gluten-free treats — from delicious muffins and cupcakes to the best bars I’ve had anywhere. It’s such a treat to find a coffee shop that truly caters to gluten-free customers without sacrificing taste. I ordered an iced pumpkin latte made with real pumpkin, and it was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. The staff was so kind and welcoming, even though the place was packed — the line moved quickly, and everyone had a smile. This cozy spot is definitely worth the stop whether you’re local or just passing through. Highly recommend! ☕️ Follow me on Instagram @holycityfitblonde for more great reviews on restaurants, hotels, boutiques, and much more!
We have been coming with our church group for about 10 years plus. The service is exceptional. The coffee is amazing and it's a stop we have to make on the way in and on the way out. They are so detailed with all the questions and the service is just the best! We drive all the way from Florida and talk about mountain grounds every year.
This is a great spot for breakfast and coffee before skiing! I went three days in a row last week! They have the best selection for breakfast, from bagels to sandwiches and toast. Their Matcha is very good, as well as all of their lattes! I definitely recommend, as the food is good, the staff is friendly, and there’s plenty of room to just go and relax!
My family and I are coming from Florida to visit and hit the slopes and we were in desperate need of caffeine! We were recommended mountain grounds by a local and this place is such a great coffee spot! Victoria, Sophie, and Carly were so friendly and helpful! Victoria recommended an iced chai with coconut and it was super yummy! My boyfriend got the campfire latte and he said it was great! Great spot! Highly recommend
