"Fantastic place. I like to find out of the way coffee shops and cafes in different cities and countries when I travel. Some have been good, bad, indifferent. This one is great! Took my daughter with me two days in a row because we liked it so much. Straight from the door there's someone on staff that has a smile on their face. We had questions about food and drinks, they were friendly in explaining and making recommendations. We had both breakfast items and lunch, shared and loved all of it. There isn't a huge variety on the menu but the things they do have available they do well."

"Vibe is local and lowkey. Super comfortable like chill coffee house vibes. They can make you classic coffee and espresso or you can get your iced macchiato. Had the lox bagel with everything bagel. Bagel was perfectly toasted. Honestly it was perfection. Glad we stopped here on our pagosa trip and as our last stop before heading home."

"Was visiting from San Diego, had to try this place out. I had an iced Chai, my daughter and wife had Matcha. We all loved them. Super fun environment. Really nice server. Planning to come back tomorrow as well. We also tried a blueberry muffin, which was good as well."

"Absolutely loved Higher Grounds Coffee! The food options were delicious, the coffee was amazing, and the space was super clean. The baristas were friendly and helpful, and I loved that it’s right off the walking path with plenty of seating. Such a perfect spot to relax or get some work done—highly recommend!"

"What a great local coffee shop!Great staff providing a great early morning vibe. I'll be back for lunch soon! I got the The Brown Bear Latte, a chalk board posted special with brown sugar and dark chocolate. Look at the cute bear she drew on my cup!"
