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.
