I cannot say enough great things about Java Grounds.
They're a local non-profit coffee shop with a great cause, & my drink costs seriously half the price of what I would pay at any chain shop. (Not that I would even mind paying the same; I like knowing my money is supporting something great here)
Joe, Chad, Amanda, & Monique are all rock stars, make great recommendations, & get to know their regulars quickly. Within two weeks or so of coming here regularly, they all knew my name, & would have my drink ready for me before I got to the counter!!
JG's only downside is that they can get a little busy in the mornings, so you do have to plan for a little extra time if you're going to stop in between 7-8:30am when everyone is on their way to work but that is my ONLY complaint.
I love love love it here, & added bonus: they have specialty milks like soy, almond, AND rice milk!!
