With a drive-thru available for those on the go, you can still enjoy the excellence of Mission Grounds in your car—perhaps with a homemade pastry or breakfast sandwich from their selection, which complements their stellar coffee wonderfully.

One of the standout features at Mission Grounds is the consistently praised staff, who are as delightful as the drinks they serve. Regulars like Eric Vernick passionately share, "If I could rate higher than a 5, I would! The people here are always smiling and have a great attitude towards customers." Each visit feels like a warm reunion with friends, and it's clear that this café has fostered a loyal community.

As you indulge in their offerings, keep an eye out for some delicious homemade goods, seasonal specials, and even dog treats that make furry friends feel included. Mark Jones highlights this sentiment perfectly, remembering his experience: “If you have your dog riding along with you, they have little bags of biscuits for them too!”

Great coffee here and great, friendly service. The food was really great too. I like that when they can, they source ingredients from local businesses (local eggs, dairy, etc). I love too that the funds of the coffeeshop go to serve the community. I will definitely stop by next time I go through Wausau.

I love this place!! Every drink that I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. My favorite is the Almond Joy frappe. I like to add the tapioca pearls to it! I tried a strawberry smoothie yesterday and it was SO good. I can’t wait to get another one! Everyone is always friendly there, which is nice, and it supports a great cause. 5/5!

Excellent coffee with a great selection of flavors and brews. Service is fast and friendly, (they have two drive-thru windows). As an added bonus they have pastries and breakfast sandwiches should you want or need a bite to eat with your coffee, I tried the scones and they are amazing. If you have your dog riding along with you they have little bags of biscuits for them too! Highly recommended, check it out, I'll be going back.
