NEW COFFEE SHOP: GROUNDED COFFEE

New coffee shop, Grounded Coffee, made its debut in late November. The cafe is located at 11 E. Eighth Street, replacing former business, Henry’s Coffee Shop.

The ambiance was cozy, with cute lighting and lots of natural light. It was a calm atmosphere to get coffee with a friend or do homework. The shop was lined with colorful lamps around the perimeter of the wooden seating.

With the large amount of local coffee shops already in Lawrence, Grounded did not stand out in terms of their coffee and food. Some of their items included scones, cookies and traditional kinds of coffee.

The prices were a bit on the higher side. Overall, it was a decent enough place to grab a coffee, but nothing that would make us rush back. If you are looking for a more notable coffee shop experience, there may be better local options.
