Higher Grounds Coffee
Absolutely great place to have a quiet cup of coffee. Very inviting and cozy atmosphere.
Wonderful place and nice people. They deserve your business!
Great place! Great customer service! Cleans and OMG everything is delicious
Had a great cappuccino. Wish they had more pastry options. I went during the week late morning so maybe they were already sold out of a lot of things.
Very cozy, helpful and friendly staff as well as delicious specialty lattes and tasty baked goods, highly recommend!
Cute spot. Excellent coffee, knowledgable and friendly staff.
Delightful folks and really solid drinks. Also recommended if you're all gluten free and all that jazz.
Cute little coffee shop with good brew. It's a bit expensive for Lemont - felt like I was in Chicago, but I would go back
Such a great coffee shop for Lemont! The coffee is amazing. Everything is super fresh and very good! The variety of different drinks and pastries are awesome! Deanna the owner is super friendly and very passionate about her coffee! Inside is very relaxed and set up perfectly! Higher Grounds is exactly what downtown Lemont needed! I know I will make it a point to get my coffee from here and to support local business!
Glad to see this Independent coffee house open in Lemont, IL. The atmosphere is inviting with a variety of comfortable seating choices... couches, overstuffed chairs, tables, counter looking out the front window. A bit cavernous of a space, but the owner is actively growing the decor such as an artisan wall. I really liked the cold brew and hope they expand their roaster suppliers as they grow. Glad to see they offer gluten free options. Owner Deanna is very friendly and engaging.
I just found this coffee shop today and I AM IN LOVE!!! The owner is so nice and she makes you to feel welcomed! Atmosphere is very cozy and nice
Cozy, independent coffee shop for the community and so welcoming to all ages!
Great place! Awesome atmosphere, good music, great coffee! Love it!
Great place ..cozy great service and friendly people work there
Absolutely love this place, it's a go to place no matter how far away you are! Very friendly people and it is a very very cute and homely little cafe! I literally go out of my way to get me some coffee from here!!
Deanna at Higher Grounds is keeping alive the (mostly) lost art of making great iced tea. No sugar required because it's brewed perfectly. Highly recommended!
We love Higher Grounds! There are so many different flavors and combinations to choose to add to your coffee. If you don't like flavors, their plain coffee is amazing as well. We also love how they have a variety of non-dairy milk options. Higher grounds has a great atmosphere and the staff is the best!
Great little coffee shop; extremely friendly staff!
This is the go-to place in lemont for GLUTEN FREE baked goods. Great place to go for peace and quiet. Delicious coffee, tea, and baked goods. Friendly owner. You gotta come try this place.
Great ambiance and awesome hospitality. The atmosphere feels like home!
Love supporting local! Higher Grounds is an amazing little gem. The owner is just wonderful. Go check them out!
I ve made this place a frequent weekend stop with my roommate over the past few months. The cold brew is insanely flavored.. just black cold brew is incredible. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is great.
Overall, I would definitely go back to this place for coffee. The prices are fair and I love the environment. I went in the past to either do homework (they have free WiFi!) or play board/card games with friends because they have a lot. I take off one star though because the hours are super inconvenient (most of the time they close when I m still in school at 2pm) and some of the coffees are a little too sweet for my taste.
First of all, the shop location is great and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting. I really wanted to love the coffee but unfortunately I didn't...I ordered a mocha and almond joy and both coffees were way too sweet with very little coffee flavor at all. Also, neither one of them were hot...just barely warm. Hopefully, you are still trying to work out the kinks since you are newly opened and I will be willing to give you another try.
Great coffee and good selection of baked goods. Very nicely and quirky decorated and welcoming. Prices are average. I had the americano and my wife had the Dove latte. Both were really good. The building is right in front of train tracks which I think is neat. We were able to feel, see, and hear the rush of a train whooshing by.
Cute little place. Coffee was very good. Had a gluten free muffin which was awesome. Staff was very nice. Had my coffee in a nice big ceramic mug.
Got their Girl Scout Cookie latte it was good not to Sweet just right
Very cute spot with quality & delicious offerings. Friendly staff as well.
I popped in here due to a misunderstanding, but I fell in love with the place. This is *such* a cute little coffee shop. It's chock full of comfy chairs to read in and little tables to work at - perfect for being alone or with a friend. I only got a bottle of water, but there's a great selection of coffee. The owner is also friendly as can be. In short, I'll be going there to spend some real time, and I heartily recommend that everyone who enjoys small coffee shops does the same.
Great coffee shop. Cool vibe too. They have some very tasty specialty coffees.
Best coffee ever! Vanilla scones are awesome! Friendly staff. Very convenient for when i take the Metra train in the morning. I will definitely be a regular customer!
Great place to grab a coffee and catch up with friends...
It s about time Lemont is elevated to a better, friendly, coffee-er state. Higher grounds is on its way to a lemont classic. Great product. Bravo!
Great service with tasty coffee and treats! Our favorite coffee shop to sit and enjoy each other's company. Love this place!
Great coffee, quaint and cute atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious assortment of sandies and baked goods.
Trendy but not forced decor, calm and inviting atmosphere, and best of all - great coffee and food options. The gluten free carrot muffin and Lucky Horseshoe latte with coconut milk will officially designate this as my new morning stop.
The Barista was so wonderfully kind and the set up was wonderful
Small out of the way little eclectic shop. The coffee is from Washington state... so i was told. " DCR coffee roasters ". This coffee is very, very good. The owner is a wonderful gal. Her shots of espresso are always on target. The coffee shop is about 10 miles from my house one way ... it is worth the drive ! Crazy hu? The shop hours are shorter than I would like ... but she, the owner, knows something I dont. Imagine? She, the owner is very gracious. I purchased a bag of :DCR dark roast" ... took it home, sounds like a date hu, and was not disappointed. Really! It is worth the ride and time to check it out.
Great new coffee shop in town. I have been waiting for a local coffee place and I have been here several times since they opened. Coffee is really good. My husband worked for starbucks and is picky about his coffee and he gave this coffee the thumbs up. Pastry case is lacking something. I know they aren't super busy and don't keep it stocked with a ton of pastries, but the emptiness gives the impression that they are the "leftovers" or something. I know this is not the case but it just needs something. Maybe a smaller display case? The atmosphere is cozy but also feels a bit empty. I think they just need to throw a few more pictures on the walls. Service has always been fast but I have visited at off peak times like 10 am and 1 pm. Usually only one or two people working so I can see that service might get a little slower during the rush.
Finally a non-franchise coffee shop in Lemont! Excellent coffee, a solid tea selection, and the baked goods are superb. The blueberry muffins are exceptional. They host plenty of fun events too.
Friendly service, great coffee, and plenty of tables and chairs to work/meet or just sit and relax.
I love this little nook! It is so relaxing inside and the peach punch iced tea is super delicious. The entire atmosphere is super welcoming
Perfect location in lovey Down Town Lemont. Great coffee, super friendly staff. Best part, locally owned & operated! I will be a frequent customer.
Coffee was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. I've always loved the coffee house vibe and this place captures it perfectly.
Excellent cup of coffee with a variety of optional plant-based/vegan milks. Cozy atmosphere with a friendly staff in charming historic downtown Lemont. (Conveniently located right next to the train station)
Exquisite atmosphere - very relaxing in a beautiful setting in historic downtown Lemont. Great coffee too!
I can only speak about the coffee, but it tastes great. It s not too roasted and has a lower bitterness unlike corporate chains. Nice ambiance, I think this is a new reading and studying location.
Good prices. The service was friendly and patient. Tea and coffee were delicious.
Very cute store. Staff is really nice but the drinks were iffy. I got a chai latte and it really just tasted like warm milk.
It's a great place to go sit and enjoy company with a remarkable cup of coffee. The owner is a delight and the number one reason I love to go there.
This place is hidden in Lemont old downtown I passed by this place many time I did not see it one day I saw a sign for the special of the day I stop by and I bought my sandwich and coffee I was very impressed by the coffee the food and how that plays setup very cozy my opinion it's better than Starbucks and the others you should try it you won't regret the people who works there are very nice helpful and always :-)
