Absolutely love this place! I work in the Hancock building and was trying to find a coffee place other than Starbucks or Dunkin donuts. Enter SACRED GROUNDS located in water tower place next to FOODLIFE! WOW!! Large iced latte with half n half, amaretto and espresso. So creamy and YUMMY!! HAPPINESS IN A CUP! they also have numerous delicious baked goodies! I had the sticky cinnamon bun warmed up.... Omg... GREAT WAY TO START MY DAY! Highly recommend! If you are searching for something "different" for your morning coffee, come here! There are also tables and chairs spread around this particular floor so you can sit, RELAX and Enjoy yourself!! In a quiet place.... Around 830am.... Very happy and will be a regular! Prices are comparable to Dunkin and Starbucks.....next time I'll try their banana bread which was recommended by them...in addition, they offer all kinds of sandwiches! Coffee, sweets and sandwiches, OH MY!! ☺️

I came this morning and I wanted a chocolate almond croissant. They didn’t have one in the case so I asked about it. He said, give me just a minute and I’ll make sure you get one. It wasn’t long at all before a warm, delicious (DELICIOUS), Chocolate almond croissant was in front of me with some chocolate covered strawberries on the side as an apology for having to wait. Wow. What service. I also had an almond latte that was just perfect.

Whenever I’m in water tower, my first stop is at the bakery to grab a few chocolate chip coffee cakes to go. They are to-die-for! I was beyond surprised at how amazing they are! Next time I’m back, I will definitely try their coffee.

The ham sandwich seemed salty but had delicious bread and was filling. The baked goods are the winner here. Towards the end of the day service is slower, but at least the staff seem to enjoy working with each other.

The coffee is not great. It was extremely over roasted. The breakfast sandwiches were okay. Overall this place is over priced for what they're offering. Just go to the Starbucks on the upper floor and save money.

Standing alone in line for 10 minutes so far. All lights are on. Fridge is open. Cafe doesn't close for four more hours, and all surrounding restaurants are open with customers. No employees in sight.

The staff are amazing!!! I was running a little short on money and they gave me a free cookie when I asked how much it was and said never mind. When I get a job again I intend to come here regularly!

GREAT baked goods, decent coffee and really good paninis. Prices are a little high (I think) but this is the water tower and everything is made fresh there everyday on site.

Service was great, both employees were so friendly and helpful. The raspberry bar was a bit drier than I'd hoped but the lemon bar was quite good.

Best Cupcakes in the city. Been here 40+ years. Amazing baked goods and knowledgeable friendly staff.
