Now this is how coffee shops should be! Higher Grounds is a very cozy, intimate, community-based spot with fantastic drinks/food and great seating both indoors and outdoors. The girls working here was very kind and attentive.They have a nice selection of seasonal coffees and breakfast menu options- the breakfast sandwich was very good! Everything is so reasonably priced.

I have tried every coffee shop in the region. I haven’t found any that make my coffee as amazing as a Higher Grounds. Breakfast sandwiches over the top.!!

Higher grounds , Higher with God, Feeling elevated!I love the taste of their coffee, and friendly staff here. Ty Higher grounds! ☕️ ☕️ ☕️**Update!**After living up here in the mountain for over a year, this place has really provided Good customer service AND also community care and atmosphere. Thank you Chad for always being a good host, and also allowing the community to come together through open mic in the summer season on the outdoor stage at night, and also hosting Game night! It was so fun last time playing games, video games - Mario Kart and smash brothers indoors with the community!This place is more than a coffee shop, but a central hub to connect the community with great Positive people.There's artist who also display their artwork here on the shelf, and they sell their artwork every month. Their is an artist of the month beginning of every month.I also had the pleasure and opportunity to be part of a group here which met 1 time per week, this place is very versatile and open.There is parking here, and it may seem limited, but there is also other parking spaces around the area. The quick walk to the coffee shop is well worth it, and there is also a bulletin board where people can post their business and also make connections there. The possibilities at this location is big, and it's a must visit if your in the area, or want to experience mountain life here in crestline.Again, thanks for supporting the community and also bringing the people of the mountain closer like family, and also closer to God!Chad is the man!!Kid-friendliness: Yes! Definitely kid friendly, and also ask Chad for the game nights with indoor video games and activities!Indoor stays warm all season, and its a nice and cozy spot.

I don't normally write reviews but after waiting literally 20 minutes for two drinks I have to say this place has extremly slow service. The sloweset service of any coffee shop I have ever been to. Three people that ordered after me got their drinks before me. One time the barista forgot I had an order until I reminded him 10 minutes after. He hadn't even started making it. Really need to improve the turn around time on orders. 20 minutes for 2 drinks is insane

This was my first time visiting and it was amazing! Very calming atmosphere and the people are so friendly. The food was delicious and their seasonal ice blended pumpkin chai was one of the best I've ever had. Will definitely come back and would recommend Barista Gabi and Lesley.

There is something special about the mountain communities. The crisp air, the sense of community and the unique shopping opportunities. This shop encompasses all of that. Right on the corner, a former gas station.Just looking for a good cup of coffee we stopped in here. We ended up getting an Americano and a tea , both were delicious . The food menu was so enticing that we had to try a few things. We started off with avocado toast which was seasoned well. They had a build your own sandwich menu, you fill out a slip to build your sandwich. From the delicious bread to the thick slices of meat and fresh produce, the sandwich came out amazing. The display had a decent selection of sweet treats. I was enticed by the cinnamon roll, but ultimately ended up ordering a coffee cake and a seasonal selection of a pumpkin cupcake. We were both super satisfied with the pumpkin cupcake. The cake was moist and the cream cheese frosting was flavorful but not too sweet.We're really glad we stopped in to try this local treat.In addition to the food being great, the staff was also sweet and talkative. In particular, the gentleman making the sandwiches seemed very excited to serve what he had created for us.We sat inside where there is limited seating but did notice that they did have an outdoor patio area with additional seating.Vegetarian options: Avocado toast.Dietary restrictions: Dairy alternative for coffee drinks for an additional charge.

How aren't you going to go to a coffee Shop, on a mountain, called Higher Grounds if you aren't a waste of space? Love the service, I love just sitting in and sipping on my drink. Lovely baristas in a lovely town.Its a shame I could only go while I was down there for some work, but I'm glad I found it. Hopefully I can find a reason to back there.

Really good coffee and friendly service in a converted gas station (the bathroom took me back to road trips when I was a kid though this one was clean). Inside and outside seating.

Cute coffee shop with a limited breakfast menu (mostly bagels with egg and bacon for $7.50, baked goods for $2-4, avocado toast about $6, cinnamon rolls). I believe it's run by the church or at least has a lot of church affiliation (lots of Christian materials to take home for free). Staff was absolutely wonderful.
