Higher Grounds Coffee House 23776 Lake Drive, Crestline, CA 92325

"Mid experience, surprised considering how good the reviews are. Counter lady has an attitude. Cookie was dry and yucky. Tea was delicious. Cozy spot."

"Now this is how coffee shops should be! Higher Grounds is a very cozy, intimate, community-based spot with fantastic drinks/food and great seating both indoors and outdoors. The girls working here was very kind and attentive. They have a nice selection of seasonal coffees and breakfast menu options- the breakfast sandwich was very good! Everything is so reasonably priced."

"This was my first time visiting and it was amazing! Very calming atmosphere and the people are so friendly. The food was delicious and their seasonal ice blended pumpkin chai was one of the best I've ever had. Will definitely come back and would recommend Barista Gabi and Lesley."

"There is something special about the mountain communities. The crisp air, the sense of community and the unique shopping opportunities. This shop encompasses all of that. Right on the corner, a former gas station. Just looking for a good cup of coffee we stopped in here. We ended up getting an Americano and a tea , both were delicious . The food menu was so enticing that we had to try a few things. We started off with avocado toast which was seasoned well. They had a build your own sandwich menu, you fill out a slip to build your sandwich. From the delicious bread to the thick slices of meat and fresh produce, the sandwich came out amazing. The display had a decent selection of sweet treats. I was enticed by the cinnamon roll, but ultimately ended up ordering a coffee cake and a seasonal selection of a pumpkin cupcake. We were both super satisfied with the pumpkin cupcake. The cake was moist and the cream cheese frosting was flavorful but not too sweet. We're really glad we stopped in to try this local treat. In addition to the food being great, the staff was also sweet and talkative. In particular, the gentleman making the sandwiches seemed very excited to serve what he had created for us. We sat inside where there is limited seating but did notice that they did have an outdoor patio area with additional seating."

"Real coffee enthusiasts! From entering you could tell Higher Ground knows coffee. Super friendly staff, amazing selection of roasts and very good pricing. We grabbed 4 drinks, two bags of coffee and some coffee bread. The coffee bread was flavorful and moist. The coffee, blown away by the flavor profiles. Definitely a local hidden gem. Tons of space to sit inside or outside. A lot of parking out front and the right of the building. Defiantly our go to spot when in town. Will be back!"
