Coffee, Cocktails, Art, and Live Entertainment
Ground & Pound Coffee is more than a place to grab a drink. It is a welcoming community space created and operated by local artists.
Our team includes actors, singers, painters, musicians, digital artists, event organizers, and bakers. That creative spirit can be found throughout the shop—from the artwork on our walls to our live music, trivia, music bingo, comedy, and other community events.
We proudly provide a stage for local performers, a gathering place for neighbors, and a comfortable space where everyone is welcome.
Come for the coffee. Stay for the community.
