I enjoyed a truly delicious Americano and Blueberry, White Chocolate Scone at the Northern Grounds in Ely!! My coffee and scone were also a great value too! Northern Grounds was very busy this Sunday morning but definitely worth the wait! When I’m ever back in Ely, I‘m already planning to stop by again! ❤️

We had a fantastic experience at Northern Grounds. The coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the pastries are delicious! I had to take the time to write a review-we were so pleased with our visit and plan to be back!

Go for the coffee but skip the hot food.

We always look forward to a coffee and breakfast at this establishment. This morning we left with coffee, muffins and hot breakfast sandwiches. The muffins were delish! I went out of my comfort zone and got the green pistachio one…YUM! The breakfast sandwiches were just ok…microwaved food isn’t always the best way to go…a toaster oven would have given it a better texture.

LOVE this local coffee shop! Spacious interior, high ceilings, and I had delicious iced chai lattes with hazelnut or maple flavoring depending on the day I stopped by – and sometimes ordered them dirty (with espresso in them). My friend had a sausage breakfast burrito which they kindly warmed up for him and we took to-go with us and he loved it. He also enjoyed the chocolate donut they had here too. Really cool that they have on-tap pre-made cocktails available as well, you just have to go further down into the main room to that bar area.

When visiting the cabin in Ely, we always make a stop in town at Northern Grounds to snag a bag of coffee for the trip. We love it for the cabin and also grab a few bags for friends back home. The mochas here are also very good. I always get a white chocolate. Grab one on a colder day and go walk downtown!

Local frequent customer. Coffee is the best I’ve ever had – we now only buy Northern Grounds beans to brew at home! I really enjoy working upstairs in Society Hall Workspace, and meeting friends for wine or coffee and conversation downstairs. As both a user of the workspace and a customer of the coffee shop, I respect and appreciate the laptops upstairs policy. It’s clear they’ve worked hard to make the upstairs a welcoming and comfortable place to work and it frees up seating downstairs for those who are there for a quick bite or a coffee date. The atmosphere cannot be beat!

I didn’t expect this type of place in Ely, but I’m really happy to have stumbled upon it. Such a large inviting space with a lot of coffee options, pastries, sandwiches, and soup specials. The staff was super friendly and helpful as well. Seems to be a bar at night with tons of wine and beer on tap as well. A great place to hangout and relax.
