Gathering Grounds Coffee Shoppe

I love the sandwiches and coffee here. One of the few places I dream about when I’m not up at the lake. The Lynn’s special is the best!

This is just a fun shop. Food is wonderful! One of my favorites– wish i could take it with me.

Love this place!!! I have come to my boyfriend’s lake house for the past three summers and this is my first trip to the Gathering Grounds and I loved it. The place is so charming and inviting. I ordered tea and Lynn’s favorite. The tea was pretty good, but the sandwich was SO good. I also love their sides — crackers with a wedge of cheese, an orange and kiwi. The service was extremely fast considering it was pretty busy. I would definitely recommend this for lunch or tea with the ladies. I will be back!

Excellent Service. Family owned business amazing fresh ingredients. You can tell my lunch was made from the heart thank you!

My family visited for sandwiches, and the food was fine for what you’d expect from a cheaper eatery. Our sandwiches were $ 8.50 each, and chincy on the meat for sure. The best part? The seeded cracker that appeared to be made in house.

The food here is unique and delicious. Service is a bit slow. Coffee and drinks are yummy. A lot of stuff to look at.

Frozen lemonade no longer on the menu. Please bring them back as they were so unique!

This is my favorite place in Perham for lunch! I try to come here every time I’m in town.
Amazing sandwiches and great treats in a really unique environment. It is part gift shop, part coffee shop, part antique store. You can sit in the store window (like a mannequin– two tables), kitty corner from the counter (in a partially enclosed area that feels like a back porch– two tables), in the back of the store (more like a coffee shop feel– several tables), or down stairs (which feels like an old cellar your grandma would love– big and small tables.)
While you wait for your lunch you can shop for bags (they carry Lug and Baggallini), fair trade jewelry, kitchen accessories or stuffed animals for the kids. Don’t leave without going downstairs to check out the clearance corner.
My favorite sandwich is the Roasted Vegetable which is roasted red peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and provolone cheese with basil pesto sauce on a grilled Ciabatta bread. You can choose any bread you want though and this time I had it on the multi-​grain.
The service is top notch friendly too!

I needed Wi-​Fi while at the cabin and stumbled upon Gathering Grounds Coffee Shoppe because they provide it. I am so glad that I did! I had one of the best skim lattes I have ever had and the quiet, perfectly lit atmosphere was exactly what I needed to relax. I will definitely be back next summer!
