A bit expensive but overall nice experience. The automatic tip was set rather high in my opinion so beware and adjust as needed. I will tip, but not 20% when I'm standing there and grabbing my items, it's not full service.

Had a great experience at the ole Grounded All Day cafe. Was between a few options for cream cheese and a very nice staff member allowed me to sample them, which in turn had me set on the bacon pepper jam. The bagel itself was solid. They had a picturesque outdoor seating area which we did not utilize but appeared to be a great option. There are gluten free options available which is always a plus. Also ordered a few iced lattes which got my morning off to a great start.
I work for a delivery company called Pinnacle Fulfillment, and we regularly deliver to the owners of Grounded All Day Café. Theyre one of the sweetest couples ive ever met, and they run the best café ive ever been to. Their coffee is sooooo good. Made fresh as soon as I make my order, and their sandwiches are sooooo delicious and filling. Id recommend this café to all coffee and sandwich lovers!!!

Online Order/Delivery
$11.50 Veggie/vegan sandwich - there were only a few pieces of diced cucumber, two small tomatoes slices, several pickled onion slices, and very little vegan cream cheese. The mixed greens made the sandwich look fuller. Yeah why can't you leave 26th Place
$7 Bagel w/vegan cream cheese - even melted from toasted bread, there was VERY little cream cheese.
Was super excited to see vegan cream cheese on the menu . Thought I would treat myself to a delivered Saturday brunch. Unfortunately, and based on price point, super disappointed in the quality of the food preparation. Happy to pay a higher price if the product is worth it. Also, I read the reviews and all the responses about Astoria Bagels being FedExed daily. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I see and taste no difference between these bagels and the ones available at any supermarket in a plastic sleeve on the shelf. The owners seem like very nice and earnest folks. But as a vegan traveling, it's important to have a realistic review on places that offer vegan food.
* Didn't take pictures of the veggie sandwich. It wasn't until I opened the 2nd Bagel that I decided to write a review.

If you haven’t checked out Grounded All Day Cafe in Lexington yet, you are missing out. It has quickly become one of my favorite local spots to catch up with friends.
The first thing you notice walking in is how spotless and well-kept the entire place is. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and surprisingly spacious—it’s designed in a way that allows you to have a genuine conversation with friends without feeling cramped or drowned out by noise.
Now for the food: the bagels are outstanding. They have that ideal balance of a crisp, golden outer bite and a chewy, fresh center. What really takes them over the top are their specialty spreads—generous, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
Despite being busy, the service was remarkably fast and seamless. The staff operates with a level of professionalism and warmth that you don't always find in coffee shops these days. Whether you're stopping in for a quick morning coffee or sitting down for a long overdue chat, Grounded delivers on every front. Highly recommended!
