The Grove Coffee is a 7-day a week coffee house on The Grove Church grounds. It offers ample parking and amazing ambiance with soft tunes and a comfy outdoor area. The music is 99% Christian but if your not religious it's soft enough to not be a distraction to you. There is a grass area with balls for the kids to throw and kick around whilst you relax and enjoy your coffee. There were only a few pastries and fruit for purchase so don't expect to get breakfast here. The barista was very nice when taking our order and allowed us to wait on the cool shaded patio.
The coffee: they use Providence Roasters (Guatemalan today)
Caramel Macchiato - soy milk and caramel flavor dominated the coffee. The caramel was tasty but I wanted a little less sweet.
Dirty Chai - chai flavor dominated this drink and there were four shots of espresso. It is a good chai though.
Decaf Mocha - Unfortunately we ordered a white mocha because my mom can't have chocolate. We added an extra shot and the mocha was strong, but didn't over sweeten the coffee. I think less mocha would have been good here as well.
Vanilla Frappe - this was the best of all the drinks. The vanilla is a light flavor leaving room for the coffee to blossom inside the glass.
Overall, just too much flavoring added to each drink with exception of the vanilla frappe. I would highly recommend this place for a stop, but you need to micro-manage the sweetening process. 5 stars for the ambiance, 2 stars for the barista. I can't rate the coffee because I couldn't taste it through the sweets. I guess that's my bad.
Here's how the shots breakdown for each size; additional shots cost $0.75.
Small - 1 shot
Medium - 2 shots
Large - 4 shots
