I love this place!!! Yummy breakfast sandwiches and coffee with a warm community feel. I got the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. There are events and posters with games to play. Staff was very rude but maybe they had a bad day. Pretty loud here, if you want to work or call I'd time it properly. I ... Read more

Staff was very rude but maybe they had a bad day. Pretty loud here, if you want to work or call I'd time it properly. I would return to check out the outdoor space. edit: just read through some of the reviews, seems like the rudeness is not a one-day event haha. being friendly is free! Show less

Sometimes they close early just because they feel like it or because they’re slow. That’s pretty lame and I can’t plan to hang out with friends there because of this. Also, the employees have their friends hanging out at the bar and they just sit and socialize when it’s slow. Pretty annoying way to ... Read more

Love the vibe of this place, the coffee, and the food. But while I was walking around the dog park, I kept seeing pieces of broken glass… after spending 5 minutes picking it up I literally had a handful.

Parkgrounds is a fun spot to grab some coffee and a sandwich and let your dog enjoy some playtime. Service was quick and food was great. I got a breakfast carnitas burrito and my boyfriend got the turkey club. The burrito was large I ended up taking a good portion of it home for later. The location ... Read more

The location is prime, tucked in a neighborhood near the beltline but without the beltline crowd. They also serve booze! Show less

It cannot be overstated the importance of a business like this. It is one with the mosaic of its neighborhood. Locals are known by name. As far as the selection, there is everything: a long food menu, coffee, tea, and beer. The inside seating is air conditioned with Wi-Fi, and there is an abundance ... Read more

As far as the selection, there is everything: a long food menu, coffee, tea, and beer. The inside seating is air conditioned with Wi-Fi, and there is an abundance of outdoor seating that is very dog-friendly. This is a model coffee shop. Bonus for UGA Alumni: the coffee is a special roast from Jittery Joes. Show less

I’ve watched Park Grounds go through the changes of the neighborhood in the 10 years I’ve been here. One thing that is consistent is that this place gives a damn.

I was not expecting so much open space when I came here. In lieu of a parking lot (you have to street park), they have a big outdoor patio and yard in addition to some indoor seating.

I was not expecting so much open space when I came here. In lieu of a parking lot (you have to street park), they have a big outdoor patio and yard in addition to some indoor seating. Definitely go here when it's not raining so you can enjoy the outside. They also have a lot of booze and decent amount of food options, along with board games and books. The only coffee on drip they had was their house blend. It wasn't anything special: had a hint of sweetness and chocolatey notes, pretty standard. I'm glad they served it at drinking temperature though so I did not have to waste time cooling it down. Super recommend this place for the vibes! Show less

I drove from Decatur this morning to try Park Grounds because they offer vegetarian options. I ordered the Kirkwood Sandwich with veggie sausage on a croissant, and the croissant itself was absolutely perfect. However, the fried egg could have used some basic seasoning like salt and pepper, and I would have preferred a more flavorful cheese choice. While the sandwich was well made, it ultimately lacked flavor. As someone who’s been vegetarian for 14 years, I know many of us are willing to go out of our way—especially for breakfast—to find good vegetarian food in the city, but it has to deliver on taste. No knock on Park Grounds, but unless the food is better seasoned, I don’t see myself returning. Show less

Been waiting 33 minutes for my food and counting. Was told “just a few more minutes” when I asked for an update. This has happened twice now. Will not be returning.

Been waiting 33 minutes for my food and counting. Was told “just a few more minutes” when I asked for an update. This has happened twice now. Will not be returning. Update: We got our food all of it except a sausage patty was lukewarm. Only 4 other tables at the restaurant were occupied. Edit/Response: (1) We were not told by the barista that it would take about a half hour. We would have left if so. Maybe there was a miscommunication. (2) I worked in food service and know that the time on the ticket is not always the time the food was served to the customer. If management found the right ticket, it may explain why most of the food tasted like it had been sitting out a while when we got it. As I mentioned earlier, we will not be returning. I hope future customers don’t have the same experience we did. Show less

I love this place. It’s feels like what a homey coffee shop should feel like. It doesn’t try too hard to be cool. It just simply is.
