The Ground Coffee, Plants, & Gifts coffee shop will be opening in the near future at The Gotham at 2000 N. 2nd Street, Suite C-1 in Philadelphia. When What Now Philadelphia spoke with the owner and co-founder Michelle Miller, she said that they plan to open in May and serve a mix of coffees and bubble teas with French patisseries, desserts, and snacks. She said that they will add bagels to the menu later on.
The unique style of the coffee shop mixes your classic coffee and tea options with plants and an on-site florist. The shop will also have a selection of gifts should you need to pick something up for a friend or loved one. Miller is quoted on their website as saying, “I wanted to create a welcoming space with all my favorite things. It is a dream come true to mix delicious drinks and beautiful plants into one place. The Ground will be a wonderful starter for your day.”
The coffee selections include espresso drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, flat whites, and drip coffee. The bubble tea options include milk tea, a Taiwanese-style tea, Japanese matcha tea, a Thai-style tea, and a rotating series of special flavors, all of which come with tapioca bubbles. Customers will be able to add plant-based milk, flavored syrups, espresso shots, or protein powder to any drink.
