flavored teas and more, with multiple flavor options to choose
from with each drink. Additionally, Inspirational Grounds also
offers a large selection of whole gourmet roasted coffee beans in
a variety of flavors. According to Brent, “We have many selec-
tions and choices you can’t find at other places”. Brent and Trena
also try to accommodate guests with special dietary or allergy
needs, such as non-dairy milk, sugar free, gluten free, vegan, caf-
feine free and low carb options.

Throughout the week Inspirational Grounds offers a flavor of
the day. This gives customers a chance to experience tastes they
might not ordinarily try. In addition to hot coffee, they serve a
cold brew if preferred. “We also take requests for coffees to be
on the bar each day as well as serving an “Americano” style brew
or French Press brew that customers can order using any of the
beans we have in stock, to be fresh ground and brewed right on
the spot” said Trena.

The bakery side of Inspirational Grounds is known as “Sweet
Dreams Bakery”, with the focus on homemade custom cakes for
all occasions. As with the coffee selections great strides are taken
with baked goods to accommodate those with allergy issues or
dietary needs. “Just let us know what your need is, and we’ll try
to ‘bake’ it happen for you” said Trena.

According to Brent and Trena, the name for Inspirational Grounds
is a play on words. “Grounds” refers to coffee grounds as well as
common grounds for people to meet.
