So many great reviews for Higher Ground..Why? Because its amazing. It has a lot of space, a fireplace, WIFI, and a casual vibe. They're even open late on weekdays (till 11pm) Tons of drinks on the menu, alcaholic and non, decent food, and they hold all kinds of events that involve the community. Even with its larger than usual size for a coffee shop, it manages to maintain a cozy feeling.
They tend to be busy pretty much ALL the time, so patience is needed when looking for a spot to sit.
