Cozy environment, very friendly staff. Purchased a regular light coffee, it was okay. Also got iced coffee white mocha which was good. A number three breakfast sandwich on ciabatta which was very good! A chicken salad wrap that was decent wouldn’t order it again though, the wrap came with pickle and bag of chips 11$ for the meal. Nice place to sit with relaxing music playing throughout.

I love this place and go here often with my dog Pandemic. They are always so sweet to her and they make THE BEST latte I have ever had in my life. If I could give more stars, I would

Absolutely lovely experience at Breaking Grounds! I don’t live in Peabody but this place makes me wish I did. I’m such a sucker for a good lavender coffee and this was *chefs kiss*. Breakfast sandwich was substantial, really fresh and hot. Staff were very kind and I couldn’t recommend this place more. I love their mission and seeing them serve the community is amazing.

Breakfast sandwiches and lattes are 10/10 every time. Prices are beyond reasonable I think I pay about $12 for a breakfast sandwich and a large latte. House made syrups for the lattes which is major key and they are so friendly and excited to see you and serve you. Will never stop raving about this spot!

If I could give them a 10/5 I would! Everyone was so beyond kind. I was having a very tough day, and stayed there all day, and they absolutely made my day better. On top of that, the 2 lattes I had were some of my FAVES I’ve ever had! And I was a barista for years! The sandwich was great as well. What an amazing place!!!

Super welcoming and cozy environment, employees are all so nice, plus the coffee and food is great! I love the "Number 3" breakfast sandwich, it's sweet & savory, delicious!

Liane Wallace

Excellent place, filled with wonderful people and delicious food at a very reasonable price. I had a chocolate raspberry latte and it was fantastic! I honestly can’t wait to return!

I visited for the first time yesterday to meet someone for a chat. Staff was so kind and have great energy. They even serve your drink to your table, which is a nice touch. I got a chai and a muffin and both were yummy and the muffin was moist. On top of being a quality café, they are doing an amazing thing because they are run by NEArc, and they have training programs and job placement for disabled people regularly. Highly recommend going to support them and their mission!
