Grounded

the tea program here deserves more attention than it usually gets. yes, grounded does specialty coffee well enough that regulars come back with the kind of consistency that says something about the coffee itself, but if you've been sleeping on the tea side of the menu, that's worth reconsidering. the organic sourcing runs through both, and the small plates mean you're not stuck nursing a drink on an empty stomach. 300 n main st puts you right in the center of las cruces, which makes this a natural stop whether you're moving through downtown or deliberately carving out time for yourself. it's one of the better solo spots in the city, genuinely. go mid-morning, get something from the tea list, and let the food menu do the rest.
