This is my escape! Their coffee is hands-down the best in town, Id say better than the larger chains also and I have drank a lot of coffee in my time. Worth every penny, a definite pick me up every stop. Staff rocks and their drive-thru makes it super convenient. Cant show enough love to Higher Grounds :)

I made a quick stop here, and I am grateful I did! When you walk in, there us a small area with locally made goods (jewelry, lotion, soaps, clothes). The aroma of delicious brewed coffee fills the air. Several feet ahead, the counter to order is on your left. They have several coffees already brewed along with a variety of flavored latte and chai options. They have soy and almond milk for their milk alternatives. The staff were warm and helpful. I got coffee and scones all of which were delicious. The spiced chai ranks in some of the top I have ever had! There is also a wall with bulk and pre-package Door County coffee, and you can go through the drive through. If I lived nearer, this place would be a staple!

My fiancé and I were only passing through and needed some coffee so we found here. It’s such a cute little shop with great coffee! We don’t find ourselves in Beaver Damn very often, but I will say, any time we do we will stop by.

Great little coffee shop. Drive through is a major plus! Amazing menu. Seemingly endless coffee flavor options, including a nice variety of sugar free options! Staff is friendly and professional. Attention to detail is very noticeable (right down to the bathroom tissue ;) Thanks for being my new favorite coffee shop in town!

As a student I liked to come here, get the endless cup for a little over two dollars and study for a few hours while enjoying as much as I wanted of the delicious coffee. They have different flavors of regular coffee, the selection of which varies by the day. I also come here with a group of friends every month and find that its a great atmosphere for chatting over a cuppa or two.

I go here often for myself and my coworkers. Best coffee in Beaver Dam and surrounding areas, in my opinion. Flavors are always amazing and the staff is always friendly. Always recommend Higher Grounds to anyone looking for a good cup of coffee. Also, Daddy-O is the best flavor...HANDS DOWN. Thanks Higher Grounds for the great coffee and exceptional staff!

My favorite coffee place in Dodge County. The atmosphere is perfect for reading, studying, journaling or just thinking. They have a ton of unique flavors, drinks & bakery items. They sell one of a kind trinkets and locally made lotions, balms and other items. And they host open mic nights! Plus, the name is awesome. ☺

Higher Grounds Coffee Shop is a fantastic place to satisfy your coffee cravings. In addition to coffee, they serve a wide variety of teas and smoothies. Their soups and sandwiches are delicious! They also have some beautiful gifts to choose from. They are also a Dodge Country tourist information center. You can find out all of the happenings in the area. Higher Grounds also has a beautiful back room that can be reserved and rented at a very reasonable price for you next meeting, bridal shower or whatever occasion you might have!

This is my absolute favorite local coffee house. The coffee always tastes great and the staff is so welcoming. I love the items they have for sale from local businesses. They have vendor markets and other activities throughout the year. Its somewhere you can go and relax without feeling the pressure to hurry and leave.

They nailed my drink! Its hard to have a coffee similarly made to Starbucks but Higher Grounds did an amazing job. Very impressed. Excited to say this has to be my new favey! Plus inside the shop is adorable. They have a ton of cute items for sale as well. Very cute. Prices are comparable to Starbucks as well.

Review №38

Worth a try. Was there recently and my mom asked if they had sweetened condensed milk. The cashier confirmed they did but when my mom asked if they could make her a drink with it she was turned down. The explanation was they would have to open a can just for her drink and that would be a waste. I used to run a coffee shop and first that is just poor customer service but second, sweetened condensed milk can be covered with foil and put back in the fridge for a long time. I don’t want one staff members response to sour my rating completely, because I have had good experiences here too, but this resulted in us not purchasing much and leaving in dismay.

Cozy, inexpensive, great selection, friendly staff. Pretty much everything you could ask for in a small family owned shop and then some. I love the endless coffee in a real mug or travel like Styrofoam cup. Only 2 25 is all it is!!!!!! As much coffee as you want!!!!!!!!!! The staff is amazing they are so friendly and sweet and knowledgeable. They have a bunch of different candies and artwork and coffees and knitted or crocheted items all kinds of amazing things!!!!!!!!

Nice little coffee shop. They have a great selection of beverages as well as baked goods. A little pricy for a small town coffee shop but cheaper than a Starbucks. The staff is super nice. They also have a selection of gifts for sale. They have a back room you can book for $25. Great addition to our community.

Review №84

The coffee drink and smoothie I ordered were very good. However, service was slow and not very friendly. I order one coffee drink and one smoothie in the drive thru. It took over 10 minutes to get it, and I had to pull forward to let someone else get their drink before me. The worst part was when she brought my drink there was no apology for the wait. I was not looking for anything other than the acknowledgement that I had a too long wait. Not sure if I will go back. Sad because I like to support local businesses.
