Being greeted with a smile is something everyone appreciates. It’s something you can count on when walking into Familiar Grounds Gourmet Coffee and Gifts.
As you enter either entrance, you find a multitude of home decor and inspirational items, a candle section, greeting cards and gift items, a children’s section, jewelry, handbags, packaged gourmet foods, garden and seasonal items and friendly smiles at the beverage counter.
With 60 different beverages on the menu, Familiar Grounds not only caters to coffee afficionados, but to smoothie drinkers and non-coffee lovers as well. Fresh bakery including pies, scones, biscotti and seasonal desserts are served daily. Six soup selections are available anytime. Coupled with a delicious hard roll, soup makes for a great light lunch or early dinner.
Of course iced coffee could be what you’re craving now, and Italian sodas and tea blasts are great summer satisfiers. Choose from frappes, iced lattes, chai tea, seven flavors of smoothies (made with your choice of yogurt or ice cream), and fresh squeezed lemonade.
True coffee lovers will appreciate the high quality of Coffee Masters products, and enjoy a large selection of espresso and gourmet coffees.
With all the shopping and yummy treats available, there is also a slower side to the coffee shop. Walk back to the outside terrace or inside seating areas, both situated on the Embarrass River, and sip your beverage selection while taking time to relax and unwind.
Having a small business meeting or gathering? Consider a private, intimate meeting room that can accommodate up to 20 people.
If you’re on the go, that’s not a problem either. Call ahead with your order and it will be waiting when you arrive to pick it up. That includes beverages, soup, or gift basket orders. Situated near the corner of W. North Water St. and Pearl Street in New London, the coffee shop is easy to get to and provides a large parking lot.
