Higher Grounds
Personally, I am not a fan of cookie-cutter coffee shops that typically appear on every corner, my preference is for unique independent places. Opened earlier this year, Higher Grounds is that exact type of spot in Northern Liberties.
The space is cool, decorated in shades of blue, brown and orange. Mix and match furnishings and cozy tables give it a laid-back and slightly retro vibe. It’s a coffee shop where you can hang out for hours and get to know the local clientele or simply just relax and enjoy your favorite latte.
Speaking of the coffee, they brew endless varieties, along with teas and some light meals. They also mix up some remedies for whatever ails you - hangover, flu, or even an immune boost to help you through the day.
Higher Grounds not only serves up delicious drinks, but they offer free WiFi, extend late hours, showcase rotating artists and stage various shows from poetry to DJ and acoustic performances. It’s a cozy place to go when you’re tired of hanging out in your own living room, yet just as comfortable and fun.
Best of all, their prices won’t jolt you - they’ve left that job to the caffeine.
