The Ground Coffeehouse and Plant Shop

109 Ballpark Dr, Ballwin 63011

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.
