Welcome to Grounded All Day Cafe

We are a family-owned, hospitality driven cafe that serves handcrafted coffee & tea drinks and unique bagel sandwiches with our own housemade artisanal spreads and authentic New York bagels from Astoria, Queens. We serve breakfast and lunch 7 days a week with an emphasis on quality ingredients, creative flavors, and making memorable experiences for our guests.
Good Food, Grounded Feel

Good Food, Grounded Feel

Need a bite? We’ve got you covered all day. To us, everything is better on a bagel! We focus on bold flavor and scratch-made ingredients, from our signature cream cheese spreads and handcrafted lox to our quick pickles and pickled jalapeños. Served on hand-rolled bagels flown in from New York, our breakfast and lunch sandwiches stand out from the rest. We also make fresh salads, house dressings, and our fan-favorite Vineyard Chicken Salad in-house.

We start with the finest locally roasted beans and our own handcrafted syrups to create your favorite coffee drinks. For non-coffee lovers, we offer premium teas from Harney & Sons and local favorite IntegriTEA, along with the iconic Ale-8. We also have hot cocoa and kiddiccinos for the little ones. Feeling festive? Our Meadowthorpe location serves brunch favorites like Bloody Marys, Sangria, and local craft beers.

This Must Be The Place

This Must Be The Place

Our Meadowthorpe location is more than a café—it’s a neighborhood gathering spot designed for work, play, and connection. From the community table and meeting room to the kids’ play area and spacious Sideyard, there’s room for everyone. Our Cheapside location offers the same welcoming experience in downtown Lexington, perfect for breakfast, lunch meetups, or a coffee break during local events. At both locations, our team focuses on creating meaningful guest experiences every day.

What our guests are saying

Love Grounded All Day! I’ve discovered it recently in the last month, and I’ve been back four times. It’s a cozy place to get some work done or meet up with a friend. The bagels are phenomenal, as is the “London’s Calling”! I’m pretty picky when it comes to London Fogs. I’ve had a lot in Lexington, and theirs is the best I’ve had.

Such a great place!! I have struggled to find good coffee in Lexington, but this place is amazing! Such a cute atmosphere. Huge outdoor area, perfect for summer! Everyone is very friendly and engaging. I do wish they had a simple bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich😊
