Pow Wow Grounds Coffee

$ 14 for two cups of soup and a half assed sandwich my 5yo self could’ve made. Seriously, the soup was severed in a paper cup (size only big enough to fit a 12oz can of soda) which I finished with 4 scoops of the spoon and the sandwich was as broke as a college student. The sandwich consisted of two folded slices of Oscar Meyers turkey one half slice of Swiss, and a bs packet of mayo… nothing else. Have some pride in your work!!!
However, other than that the owner was super friendly and cool and the tomato basil soup was delicious.
TL;DR Overpriced food, cool owner.
Edit: the art gallery that’s attached to it also has over priced artwork, but don’t take my word for it go have a look, but make sure that you give yourself three days so that the money from your savings account can transfer to your checking

Fabulous!!!
The staff is very friendly, from the owner Bob to the Baristas. Prices are fair. Nice atmosphere too. Attractive art work on the walls.

I mapped the closest coffee shop today after a long morning school thing and decided to check it out. I enjoy exploring coffee shops with my girl friends or when I’m out.
I come from a background of customer service and to top it off, I enjoy food and beverages. I try not to discriminate ;)
Deciding I would try this place, asked a couple questions about favorite beverages and made my choice. I decided to get a chai. I know what you’re thinking. oh no not another chai person, or the opposite «I like chai too». It’s my new thing to try it at different places. Next time I’ll probable try a dirty chai (expresso & chai). The lady said she likes a depth charge with caramel or a white mocha with vanilla.
This place’s chai is spicier than other popular coffee shops and they claim customers say «it’s the best one out there», (it comes in a purple container). I really like that is has a spicer kick whereas others are more mild, tastes like it may have ginger as an ingredient. For one I am a fan.
The owner said he has a wild rice farm and harvests the rice he uses in his food. Of the items they make themselves was the wild rice quiche, wild rice fruit and yogurt parfait. It looked SO yummy! I was on my way to get lunch with someone, so I didn’t want to spoil it. But I will be coming back to try these two. They also make their cookies and monkey bread themselves. I’m sure they make other items too, but my thoughts trailed off as I took a sip of my chai :)
As for dessert I am planning on trying their monkey bread. Like I said I love food and can’t wait to go back and try some new and interesting foods.
The owner was nice and easy to talk to and the barista was also sweet. They welcomed me as soon as I walked in, genuinely inquired about my day and as I was being helped by the lady, the manager helped the next gentlemen.
The place is small, but the windows in the front bring in a lot of natural light and the mood is welcoming and can be a place to relax but not feel like you’ll fall asleep like other coffee shops.
They get a four because it was my first time coming here. I like to give people second chances and we will see if they can keep up on the good customer service next time as well.

Awesome staff, tasty coffee! I’ve only been here once for a meeting, but I’m super glad it was the suggested meeting location! The barista was super friendly and helpful, and my fancy foo-​foo coffee wasn’t too sweet or too expensive. I also really appreciated its lack of pretentiousness.
Since my favorite café closed (RIP Plan B), I’ve been a lost coffee shop soul, floating aimlessly in a purgatory of smug, (dare I say) hipster-​y caffeinated beverages. But perhaps no longer! Will definitely be back to Pow Wow Grounds soon.

Strong coffee, monkey bread, charming building, and family atmosphere — Pow Wow Grounds everything a person could ask for in a coffee shop. Located in the heart of the American Indian Cultural Corridor on East Franklin, this shop not only offers quality products, but it also collaborates with Native American Community Development Institute to put on fantastic events throughout the year.
I’ve also catered from Pow Wow Grounds Coffee twice. Each time the service was incredibly fast and reliable. I have ordered parfaits, sandwiches and soup. The sandwiches were alright. But the best the things to get from Pow Wow Grounds are both the parfaits (that has an assortment of nuts and fruits with yogurt) and the hearty and savory Wild Rice Soup. Both are very healthy!
I haven’t had a chance to return or cater from them recently, but if I return, I know I won’t be disappointed.

good coffee and just got turned on to Monkey Bread. Yay!

Inclusive, peaceful atmosphere, artsy ambiance, not a coffee franchise, and not the type of coffee shop you would ever expect on Franklin ave. located in an area I drove by a thousand times but never noticed there was even a coffee shop here. My buddy Mahad recommended it, we stopped by and it felt like a family owned café that puts emphasis on communal gathering. Located near the Little Earth neighborhood and inside All my relations art gallery, featuring Native American arts. It is comfy, kid friendly and serves some delicious coffee. counter sweets & scrumptious quiche. This is one of those coffee shops that becomes part of the community and a staple neighborhood gathering place without the annoying table-​hogs.

I hate box coffee shops, i can’t stand coffee makers who would rather be referred to as baristas, i hate saying venti instead of large damn coffee and what the hell is triple venti caramel macchiato or grande hot decaf triple five-​pump? Really? Just saying it makes me want to beat someone with a halibut.
Among other reasons is why you won’t find me at Starbucks or at any other box coffee shop. I am not spouting homilies and this is no soapbox to openly criticize corporate owned businesses; it is purely based on my wallet and my distaste for paying $ 7 for a medium mocha at Starbucks instead of supporting my favorite local coffee shop.
Owned by a Native American and inside of the same building with All My Relations Art Gallery (which features contemporary fine arts by Native American artists), this coffee shop is not your typical dilettante hipster café hang out with complicated coffee drinks; it is a small communal, uninhibited shop that brings a new hang out to a much needed area.
Besides the great Coffee that rivals Starbucks they have an outta this world Quiche for only $ 4.25, smoothies, sandwiches, signature wild rice soup and other over the counter sweets. My favorite, the turtle mocha.
I love this coffee shop, besides standing in line at Starbucks and reading their seemingly endless menu just angers me, why does coffee have to be so goddamn bewildering?
