Perfect coffee shop. I was here waiting after dropping off my son at a birthday party. Found this place and just totally enjoyed it. The chai was awesome and the bagel with smoked salmon was just right. Relaxed here for three hours and I highly recommend to anyone.
we got the chorizo burrito and the turkey sandwich and it was so good we forgot to take pictures! everything was so delicious and the person working at the counter was very kind. would absolutely come here again, such a great start to my day
The lattes are amazing and the breakfast sandwiches are great! Vegan menu is a separate color so very easy to find options. Service was very friendly and above and beyond expectations.
Coffee Shop No. 461 Grounds Central Station Manassas, VA January 18, 2025 This is my third time visiting Grounds Central Station, but my first time posting about it or adding it to my coffee shop list. Every time I have stepped into this small shop in the historic neighborhood of Manassas, Virginia I have received excellent customer service and delicious espresso drinks. On this particularly cold morning I ordered my usual, a cortado. My husband had a dirty chia and my nieces shared a mocha. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!
Awesome coffee, food, and vibes! The people who work there are so sweet and the fact that they have a delicious selection of vegan options is so great. Vegan egg and cheese breakfast bagels!!?!?! Yes please 🤤
I really like this coffee shop. Jirani is fine, but I like that GC doesn't blast music, they have better food options, and it's a better environment to study/write at. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches and burritos, and they'll let you add flavored syrup to ice teas.
Been going here for Friday night dinners after work for a bit and I love the vibe. Great priced food, mellow staff, and a great selection. We accidentally ordered an item for my vegetarian, dairy free partner that we didn't realize contained cheese and were not charged for it. In addition they came up with an original dish that suited their dietary needs and tasted marvelous. This is a winner place to visit!
My husband and I were in from out of town and came across this place while looking for coffee. I am so glad we found this place. We were in VA for 5 days and had coffee and breakfast from there. Every. Single. Day. The coffee was delicious, not too acidic or overly sweet, just perfect. I tried a new one each day and loved all of them (Peanut Butter Mocha, Iced white chocolate raspberry mocha, Iced chai, and the Mounds mocha). The food is really what made this place sparkle though. I got the sausage breakfast burrito which was cheesy, flavorful, and HUGE. I also got the NYC lox bagel, veggie egg and cheese English muffin, and a pumpkin danish; all of which were phenomenal. Everyone was so nice and thoughtful, one of the workers there even asked my husband if she was putting enough caramel and vanilla in his drink since he ordered the same thing every time we went. I kept telling my husband I would move to Manassas just for this cafe. Long story short: GO HERE!
I asked for a coconut mocha frappe that is not on the menu and the barista happily made it for me and was by far the best frappe I've ever had. I wasn't impressed by the paper straw though. Made no sense to me to use one in a plastic cup and it withered away before I finished my drink. Other than that, the place was outstanding and if I lived in the area would become my regular hangout. I also collect coffee shop stickers for my car. Usually I have to pay for them. They gave me two on the house!
I just had the most amazing London fog and breakfast sandwich in I would say years! I was just at Ground Central Starion in Manassas and it was lovely. The best service the best food and the most amazing drink I’ve had. Don’t miss it y’all head over there and experience it for yourself! Only wish was for more lounge type seating!
