From our beloved regulars
I always come here to study or meet up with friends. If there are any bad reviews it's due to me laughing too loud with friends. But what can I say, it's a joyful environment.
Personally, every time I walk into holy grounds, I see Mark Chasuk, and he just makes me feel at home. Their coffee is also good.
A Toast to Holy Grounds: The coffee is solid MGP makes me blush Unless Abe is responsible Abe, there’s no need to rush A good Fog demands time Attention and care Plush, your shift is two hours You ain’t going nowhere The people are lovely All smiles and cheer A little too happy You’d think they sell beer Let’s toast to the place That gave me to myself Something I could not find In fame, travel, or wealth Holy Grounds, holy sounds, holy people Galore This place is much more Than a campus store Holy Grounds is a home For all who thirst Life is found in these walls For all who’ve felt cursed So open your eyes, arms, and heart To embrace it After all we go to the Father Through the features in men’s faces
I went here once. Excellent service, except from a barista who was very tall and wore white crocs. That was weird. Why do they wear crocs? Seems unprofessional. Anyway, he was not as friendly as the rest of the baristas, though he was still very friendly. Five stars for the good coffee
This is truly the most incredible coffee shop I have ever laid my unworthy eyes upon. The staff’s hearts are made of literal gold and their eyes sparkle with the heart and soul of Christ himself. Every cup of coffee tastes like it was made from the sweet manna of heaven. If you’d like a glimpse of what it feels like to be truly loved and known, go get yourself a cup of the freshest jo from the freshest kidz around. FDA approved.
Truly, this shop is the crackling hearth of Benedictine. I doubt there will ever be another coffee shop like it.
Amazing atmosphere and great service! It's a great place to come to lock in on homework, recharge between classes, or to socialize and catch up with a group of friends. Their coffee is consistently sweet, fresh and flavorful and the baristas are always cheerful and ready to help. It's a reliable and enjoyable space that adds a lot to Benedictine's campus.
Lovely atmosphere and great drinks! Always love coming here and running into friends. Studying can be a bit of a challenge since there's always people chattering, but if you don't have hard deadlines, it's a good place to work and socialize at once. I also really appreciate their diverse selection of milks.
