Nice little store with breakfast and lunch options. Didn’t have vanilla creamer when we ordered the lattes but they were nice about it and ended up with other options. Space to eat inside and other small stuff they sell. Plenty of parking and right off the main road.

A truly fantastic local sandwich shop! We placed two large lunch orders for our wedding weekend and could not have been happier with the results. The owner, Lori, is incredibly friendly and accommodating. We selected salads and sandwiches from their online menu and then called in the order a few days in advance. Lori was kind enough to deliver the food to our house and everything was a huge hit. All the ingredients are so fresh. This is a great, healthy, and satisfying option that we highly recommend!

Great coffee, good food and convenient location. Stop in on your way in or out to Windham Ski/Snowboard resort and you wont be disappointed. They have great breakfast and lunch options as well as flavorful coffee.

OMG Lori catered the after wedding brunch for my daughter’s wedding and it was amazing!! Everyone asked where the bagels were from and her egg wraps were outrageous! Pastries and whitefish salad and lox platters were beautiful and delicious too!!! Lori is so easy to work with and so reasonably priced!!! They also make the best coffee!!! And trust me we needed it the morning after our daughter’s NYE wedding!!!Thank you Higher Grounds!Vegetarian options: Plenty to choose from! All delicious!Dietary restrictions: My daughter doesn’t eat dairy and they were happy to make dairy free wraps which were delicious and provided Vegan cream cheese too!

Great food prepared to perfection. The woodsman is a Hardy selection, the goddess or avocado toast are lighter selections. There's something for everyone to enjoy. Many local art's and crafts on display and for sale. Nice, clean, bright dining room. One of Windham's top spots for a quick coffee to go or sit down meal.

I called ahead and got takeout after seeing some of the reviews mentioning long wait times (I'm not trying to be inside with strangers waiting for food and risk getting the Rona before breakfast). I had a good experience and my food was ready and hot when I got there. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich was tasty, the latte was delicious, the place is very clean with plenty of COVID precautions in place, and everyone was so friendly. Definitely recommend it!

Amazing local spot near our hotel. Food was ready quick and was beyond good to eat. There wasn't an eat in option unfortunately but takeout worked for where we were. Price was low too for the amount of food we got.

One of my favorite coffee shops I've visited. The employees are always very friendly. We used to stop for breakfast every time we visited Windham Mountain Bike Park and stopped again for iced coffee for the ride home. Unfortunately the bike park is permanently closed and we most likely won't be back in the area to enjoy their coffee any longer.

Food here is disappointing. I’ve ordered three times now and it’s the same issue. Veggie wrap did not have olives or hummus. I ordered a panini and got wholewehat toast. The Ceasar Salad had one scoop of dressing. Too bad since the menu looks very good.

Worst experience I've had eating at places around here when I go camping.. I ordered a waffle and it took more then 30 minutes to get and It was uncooked,..I ordered before my two friends and a guy behind them they ordered waffles plus breakfast and they got their food before me which I didn't mind then the other guy gets his food before me, then I finally get my waffle to be uncooked plus it looked like they put so little waffle maker that it didn't even look like a waffle so I end up getting my waffle well after my ate then when I got my 2nd one it wasn't looking like what my friend got, so I had to get my money back, after all the aggravation I had lost my hunger. if the people working in the kitchen would stop talking and hanging around in the back they could've made me a good waffle... Never coming back here ever

The people there are friendly, however, service was slow and were out of almost everything when we arrived around 3:00pm or so. We ordered their turkey club, which took roughly 10-15 minutes to put together and only gave us one when we paid for two. I will say the turkey club was pretty good, but overall experience was below average.

Slow service, staff disorganized and not very friendly, and they do that thing where the automatic option for tipping starts at 15% or 20% which gets excessive for takeout when the food’s already kind of pricey for what it is. (I paid over $20 for a small breakfast wrap and a coffee.)

Unfortunately I have nothing much to add to previous comments. Food is fresh and good but service is far too slow. If you go there for a coffee and cookie that will work. If you order sandwiches then you have to be extremely patient. The young staff there obviously lacks training. I was told "we are understaffed" but they were 4 in the kitchen and not so many customers for a Saturday at 1pm. I go there from time to time and I haven't seen any improvement over time. Again today I heard other clients frustrated by the service slowness. I really would like to see the manager do something about this. It could potentially be such a great place.

All their smoothies are so good! As is everything on their menu. Love their muffins and coffee. They also sell art work and other things like bracelets, necklaces, massage stones. It's definitely a good stop before and after a day skiing.

Great coffee, yummy muffins and friendly staff! Loved the unique local items for sale as well. Perfect for a quick stop, or a sit-down meal.

Great place to get coffee, a breakfast sandwich or lunch. The staff is very friendly here and they have lots of menu options which I appreciate. I struggle to pick breakfast or lunch sometimes because all their items sound so good. Sometimes when they are busy, it can be a little slow. Think peak ski season. But not a reason to not visit for some yummy grub. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this spot!

Food is really great but staff was not. They seemed annoyed we were there and my order was wrong. I built my own sandwich (turkey, cheddar, caramelized onion, spinach and cranberry mayo)and instead they gave me one of the specialty sandwiches (turkey, stuffing and cranberry mayo). Similar, but not the same. It seemed like they just wanted us out. Could be five stars if they had better customer service.

Food took a while to make. Staff is friendly. Place seemed nice but kind of dusty. Was just passing through Windham on vacation. However will probably go somewhere else next time i’m hungry

Good atmosphere; food was bland and dry. Service was slow. I got a ceaser wrap--chicken was dry and it had straight mayonnaise instead of ceaser dressing. My wife got a Lori Power Bowl, it had zero flavor--she did not finish it.
