Good coffee, good vibes, great for studying
I think it’s the best coffee in hyde park! love the drink quality and the lunches are greatRemember to bring cash!
some of the student workers have negative skills to make espresso drinks. the quality of GoB ranges from 0-75 out of 100 depending on who is making the coffee. Most of the time espresso has been over extracted.For comparison: Ex-Libris student workers tend to under-extract espresso drinks (which become sour)... Another on-campus place is Pret-a-Manger (clearly, only "ready for eating" but not "ready for drinking"), where the espresso drinks are consistently bad, for which I will give 30 out of 100. Star bucks is comparable. For Hallowed grounds, I have heard both good and bad things about them, so far my experience has been negative.In short, near UChicago only Plein Air seems to offer reasonable coffee (not great but drinkable)... but the line is always absurd...
amazing value and drinks
very nice
Very interesting place and the name is a smart play of words considering it is located at the Divinity School. Such a classic University of Chicago thing to do. Besides the clear elitaire naming of this basement coffee shop, Grounds of Being is proof that sophisticated coffee culture is still alive in Starbucks-ridden North America.
Best coffee on UChicago campus. Its also student run, and the prices are great. Keep in mind they only accept cash.
Only the best: the coffee, the root beer, and the friendliness of the staff. Since the cafe is located in the school of divinity, it is no wonder that food tastes divine there. Ideal location for anyone who seeks a quick out-of-body spiritual experience in the 15 min break within lectures.

Best coffee on campus? Cheapest coffee on campus? Tastiest lunch on campus? (sourced from local Hyde Park restaurants?) Cheapest lunch on campus? Punniest name in campus? The answer to these questions is all the same, and it’s grounds of being. I don’t care if y’all are cash only, eating here is just too good.
