I have come to this place twice now and both times, I was met with very friendly staff. The atmosphere gives off an industrial vibe and it is very fun and clean. The first time there I got the muffaletta. It was very good, but the bread is a little thick for my liking. A muffaletta should have a thinner bread with a hard crusty top. The second time I went in and got a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit totally blows put Tim Horton, Wendy’s, McDonald’s and Burger King out of the water. It was fabulous. The biscuit is homemade, the egg and sausage were good quality and it just made my stomach very happy!
I highly recommend you try this place if you haven’t yet.

Gather + Grounds is something truly special
This café is more than just a great place to grab coffee — it’s a space built on purpose, inclusion, and community. Operated through Rising Stars Academy, Gather + Grounds gives young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities the chance to gain real-world job experience in a supportive, welcoming environment.
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and uplifting. The students and staff are incredibly friendly, the service is excellent, and the drinks and food are delicious. It’s clear that everything here is done with care and intention.
What makes Gather + Grounds stand out is how it creates opportunity. Every visit helps support the personal growth and independence of people who deserve to be seen, valued, and empowered.
I’ll absolutely be back — and I’ll be encouraging everyone I know to support this incredible place.
Five stars all the way.

Centerline is my regular location but I went to the Richmond location when I was there for a sports tournament. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious and the kind person even labeled them since I bought 4 different ones. This is a great business for both communities. I highly support! Keep up the great work!

The drinks and food were amazing! We got caramel iced cappuccinos and breakfast sandwiches. Everything was fresh and tasted so good. Jasmine and Lori were so sweet and got us everything we needed. Highly recommend this place!

Why I waited so long to try this place, I have no idea, but I’m definitely glad I finally got the chance to stop in. This place is more than a sandwich coffee shop, it’s a place where special needs people get to work with the public & put their training they receive at the Centerline location to good use, preparing them for the workforce. There was only one gentleman from the training center working when we stopped in on Saturday, but he was so polite & boy o boy, he made some fabulous sandwiches! And I’ll say, it’s apparent they definitely received fantastic training because everything we received was delicious & top notch! First off, WOW is the inside of this establishment HUGE! Something I wasn’t expecting. They have an area off to the right with a comfy couch & an oversized comfy chair to sit at while enjoying your coffee. You could also sit there & read a good book or work on your laptop/tablet. We got sandwiches for lunch & I’ll start by saying they make most of (not sure if they make it all) their bread from scratch at their main locaiton in Centerline & transport it here. It’s fresh & SO yummy! My friend got their reuben on homemade rye. She said it was delish. I got their turkey bacon wrap (minus the avocado), Both sandwiches were full of a LOT of meat & the bacon in mine was cooked fresh & the turkey was more like leftover Thanksgiving turkey, because it didn’t taste & look like deli sliced turkey, which I always appreciate a real turkey sandwich. Both sandwiches came with a dill pickle spear as wel. And they brought our sandwiches out to us in a nice to-go box with also bringing us paper plates & napkins. As for their prices, VERY reasonable, considering the quality of food we received as well as the presentation. They also do a small breakfast selection & even sell some of their homemade breads. Don’t pass this place by if you’re looking for a nice lunch, breakfast or just a cup of coffee (& they even have some of the fancier coffee options too!) becuase you won’t be disappointed!

Great food, good prices, service could be quicker, nice setting, and great cause.
My main complaint is the smell. There is zero ventilation in here on their grill. It seems to just vent to the inside and it is truly bad. This cant be healthy.
If you are in here more than a few minutes, you will stink the rest of the day. Nothing but new clothes and a shower gets it off of you.
Ownership needs to address the very poor air quality and it could be 5 stars from me.

Was there for a tour as a client. Sounds like a great place. Jenn was very helpful and caring. She seems like a perfect fit for that job! Unfortunately I did not get food that day although it looked delicious.

Everything about this place looks great visually. It cost 5.50 for an 8oz latte. The cold brew tasted like it was hot brewed and chilled with ice, which is disgusting. All they use is low quality breakfast meats for their sandwiches. The owner looked lazy, unprofessional, and wearing his Sunday lounge clothes. I can see why business isn’t booming. Get better quality foods and speed up your service a little bit more.
