My favorite lunch at Grounds for Celebration, Windsor Heights, is their chicken salad on croissant with a side of fresh fruit. Add a glass of iced coffee now with this hot weather and you are set for the afternoon. Delicious

First off, the food selection is a bit limited and it is apparent that they prep their food early in the day, deciding how many of each item they will serve and if more people want that food item they are out of luck. An interesting concept, obviously the cafe part of the operation is more of an after thought. That is too bad, their food is really tasty. i ordered their version of a flat bread pizza and thoroughly enjoyed it.

My daughter and I stopped here while shopping at Beaverdale Books. I had a large mild but tasty coffee (which came in a very tall porcelain mug) and my daughter had a vanilla latte which she said was good. We shared a slice of yummy carrot cake which had perhaps a smidge too much frosting. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, comfortable and cozy. Nice little place. We will be back.

Tough to find a coffee place that serves quality coffee. This place hits the spot, clean, fast, and friendly service! I'm probably spoiled by Starbucks and six years in Europe but this place is worth the stop.

I've been here twice now, and it continues to be very middle of the road. The Flavor profiles of the coffee are decent, but the knowledge around them is seemingly non-existent. The service is quick and the employees are relatively courteous and friendly. The ambience is decent and it's a good choice to hang out, as the Starbucks that's roughly a half mile away is always jammed.
Better knowledge of the coffee and the need to ask customers if they want to sample an unknown coffee is truly needed. Particularly if the employee has not tried the coffee or cannot accurately describe what the coffee is all about. (Region of origin, flavor profile, roast, etc) It's a coffee shop. Be experts in coffee!
I'll return if I was driving by, but I would not go out of my way to return.
