Great place to sit and have coffee while knocking out some work. Aesthetic is pleasing, seasonal menu’s are good (especially Autumn), and good customer service. A little pricey but worth it!
Unbelievably good vegan options. Great music, great coffee, really cool atmosphere, huge fan of this place.
The Sweet Victory and Golden Chai make a good pairing! There’s good music playing here and the barista was very welcoming to my tired soul!
I completely fell in love with this place! The fact that they have vegan options and just eggs makes it better! I wish we would have found this sooner because we would have of ate breakfast here everyday for our stay !
Great hot espresso but iced espresso (americano) tasted superrrr burnt and they were out of cold brew by 11am on Saturday. Very cute interior, great attentive staff. Food menu only displayed at the register (would suggest putting it on the wall), and the food is quite expensive for being so average (the bagel is mediocre and too salty, and tasted like a Dunkin sandwich). Personally, I wouldn’t return, but it’s quite convenient for the area.
Coffee is great, but service is always incredibly slow - especially morning service. I’ve placed to go orders 10-15 minutes before arrival with hope that I could pick up before I go into office. It has never worked. I end up waiting 10+ minutes each time as they prepare my order.
I am leaving 1 star because I have to. Worst experience in all my history of coffee shops. The guy (who I thought was maybe a female...no name tag) at the register stood there pushing buttons on the register when I arrived appearing to be very busy despite the fact I was the only customer in line or waiting. He didn't say "one moment" "I will be right with you" or "can I help you". I am a nice guy, so I did not interrupt. I stood there waiting for him to finish and after about 5 minutes, I assumed the machine was broke. So, I spoke up and politely asked, "can I place the order and pay in cash (no change needed). He then looked up and very smugly said, "I'm waiting on you to order, what do you want". I was instantly annoyed but, like I said, I'm a nice guy and let it go. I politely apologized for the confusion and ordered my drink. He was very rude. Didn't tell me a total, flipped the screen around and walked away. He whispered several times to the female making the drinks and they just kept looking at me laughing. When it was done, he grabbed the drink and sat it on the pick up counter and walked away without saying anything. The drink was horrible having purposely been sabotaged by the female under the man's instruction. It wasn't an innocent mistake where it was not hot enough or too sweet. It was not drinkable AT ALL. I threw the drink away, looked at both of them, and walked out. I sent two white coworkers there immediately after I left and they did not have the same experience and much better cups of coffee. In that regard, clearly an isolated incident of racism. Just a heads up to Management who may or may not be condoning this despicable behavior....this does not stop at my review. I will be reporting this establishment and incident to the BBB, Chamber, CA, and any other platform to ensure everyone knows what to expect when visiting Queen City Grounds.
I like to come here to work sometimes. I work remotely, and it’s nice to change up the scenery. There’s plenty of seating options for a casual coffee with friends, a work meeting, or working from a laptop. I typically sit upstairs because it’s more quiet. Their draft oat milk latte is my favorite, they rotate the flavors. I’ve eaten breakfast and lunch here before, everything I’ve had to eat is also good. I’ve gotten it to go plenty of times also and you can order online which is convenient.
One of the best vegan burgers I've tasted
