Cool eclectic coffee shop. The place looks great, it was comfortable, cozy, and artsy, what you would expect to find in a city. The coffee was great and the desserts first class.

Stopped in for dessert and coffee. Pie was fantastic, crust was one of the best if not THE best I've had. We tried their apple and lemon pies, both were fabulous! Drinks were cappucino and a local brewed ginger ale. Cappucino was good but not very hot. Interior of this place is an old apothecary and it's really nice.

Unassuming on the outside, but once you step inside your expectations immediately go up! The decor is charming, quaint, warm, & inviting. Love the sofa alcove area in back ... Perfect place to enjoy some coffee & pie. Great assortment of sandwiches and soups to choose from. The loaded baked potato soup was delicious! We also had the chocolate chip... More

We stopped by for lunch--the menu had lots of variety, and our meals were excellent, service was fast and friendly, and the renovated hardware store décor really charming. Don't miss this one!

We went to the Gathering Grounds two days in a row while we were in the area for the weekend and both times were great. The staff are lovely and very friendly and the eclectic decor is fun. The first day we had coffee and pie. Lemon chess pie and apple pie, both of which were delicious. The second day... More

A delightfully creative restoration of an old hardware store. The kind of place that invites you in just by looking in the door. Service is great. Menu has a nice array of choices. Desserts (pies and patisseries) are super. Nice selection of coffees.

Walked in for something to drink and ended up staying for dinner. The sandwiches were very tasty, and really enjoyed the good selection of local microbrews. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was excellent. Wish we had a place like this in DC because it was a perfect cafe.

We were a group from Maryland celebrating a JMU graduation! What a perfect place for our special day! The food and desserts were delicious. The service was pleasant and readily available. A hidden treasure! Thank you.
