Home Ground Coffee Bar & Deli

I wish I had taken pictures because this place was so freaking cool! Home Ground is a very cute coffee shop attached to a bar with so many places to sit- inside and out! I was there around Noon so only the coffee shop was open but there were signs that live music was happening, in the evening, and I think that’s such a great venture for that! The food was great! I got a basic chicken salad and a mixed berry smoothie and they did not disappoint. The staff was super friendly and easy to talk to! Where you order is a little cramped but it opens up so much when you get to the seating areas! Right across the street from Carrier Park, it’s a great location! I parked my car at the restaurant, ate lunch, and then was able to walk across the street, walk the track, and lay in the grass! Amazing experience and I will be back!

The coffees were very good, and I think I might have given the food a 5 star review if I'd ordered something different, but I got caught off guard at the counter when I realized I wasn't sharing my breakfast with my partner who ordered first. I quickly picked the Dixie chix (or a name like that) breakfast sandwich but I guess I didn't notice it had egg whites and not whole eggs, and would only be about a third of a chicken breast served on the English muffin. The pimiento cheese, however, was delicious. Not sure if it was made in house, but I'd guess so. I will definitely be coming back and will update my review when I make a better choice for myself for breakfast. The one bite I had of my partner's bagel sandwich was yummy! Service was friendly and quick. It was a rainy, chilly day and we were happy to have a seat near the wall heater.

Best: Dogs are allowed inside on leash!! 🐾 I enjoyed the avocado toast and the drip coffee I got with milk. My husband got a dirty chai but it was overpriced at $7.75 and he said it tasted like antibacterial soap 😫 We’ll come back but we’ll likely stick with drip coffee. Friendly service staff at the counter, although food & drink are not brought to customers – you need to stand around until your drinks are ready, or if you order food you’ll get a buzzer. Other thoughts: Tables are clean, the outdoor area looks cool, local art for sale hanging on the walls.

The breakfast is delicious! I had the fried chicken with pimento cheese. The prices are more than fair and the coffee has a nice balanced flavor. Cool atmosphere, too. They have penty of outdoor seating on a nice day and they are dog-friendly. They are all about saving the earth and recycling, which it was nice to see my values align with a great business like this. Thanks for the great experience 😀
