**Overview** The Ground is a locally owned coffeehouse and plant shop operating out of a converted bungalow, blending a coffee-first café experience with an in-store selection of houseplants and gift items. Founded with the intent of giving Ballwin a neighborhood gathering spot, the shop brings together plant culture and specialty coffee under one roof. **What makes The Ground special?** The Ground leans into its hybrid identity in ways that go beyond simply shelving plants next to a coffee bar: - Proudly serves Park Avenue Coffee, a local St. Louis roaster, keeping the sourcing close to home - Sources baked goods from The Trolly Stop Bakery, another local partner, rounding out the café side - Plant-themed drinks — including a Monstera Mint latte — signal that plant culture runs through the menu, not just the shelves - The space carries a cottagecore aesthetic that regulars describe as charming and distinct from a standard café **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Visitors consistently describe the space as charming and cozy, with the bungalow setting adding to the atmosphere - The plant section draws guests who appreciate the combination, though most reviewers note the coffee is the primary draw
