We are all about changing the way people see people

Grounded Café was built on the belief that all people have value. That within everyone are possibilities, given the right opportunities to succeed. Partnering with local agencies, school districts, and volunteers, Grounded Café was born to breakdown stereotypes and ageism by shining a light on the strengths and “abilities” of seniors and persons with disabilities. It was designed to build pride and dignity by providing opportunities to uncover and develop abilities.

Grounded Café focuses on abilities through a job skills training program for persons with disabilities. The people serving you are either older adult mentors or adults with a disability gaining job skills.

We hope our guests feel like they belong to something big!
This is a place where people come together, share a meal and a story or two, each of them changed forever.

Support our mission

The Grounded Cafe is a hidden gem! It’s a great place to stop for breakfast, lunch, or a specialty drink. The food is so yummy! I personally love their bakery. The staff are friendly, the cafe is clean, affordable and easily accessible.
