Progressive Grounds

“Warm, friendly staff, an extensive food menu, and great coffee!”

I have loved this cafe since 2003 when I lived on Coleridge St and would have my salmon wrap every weekend. Such a cosy cafe with a beautiful courtyard. I’ve been home in Australia for many years now, but every time I’m in CA, I make an effort to get to Progressive Grounds for my salmon wrap. No one makes it like you do. I can’t even make it the way you do. Beautiful people, great service, and a very atmospheric cafe not like anywhere else on the other side of the world. I’ve been looking. So grateful you are still there. Looking forward to my next salmon wrap!

Great study/work spot! Plenty of accessible outlets, comfortable seating, and good lighting. Free wifi! And the food & drink options are also great. I had the grilled salmon lavash wrap and a chunk of cinnamon crumble cake- delicious! It was hard to choose among all the options so I will definitely be coming back to try others. Also generally good vibes and friendly staff :) Edit- I’ve come back many times since I originally posted and the grilled salmon wrap never disappoints!! This is my go-to spot for this part of the city.

Marco, the owner, is such a friendly dude! Very cozy interior with lots of cushy seating. There's a fun hallway with lanterns that leads to an even quieter room with a fireplace. And outside, there's a lovely patio! Definitely coming back here to try more breakfast, lunch, ice cream, and wine/beer options 💚

I was visiting from so cal and was really impressed with this little shop. The coffee was great and I went every day for 3 days in a row, but what was really cool was watching the interaction from the men that work there with the regulars! The man behind the counter today was so kind and genuine, this is the kind of business I want to go to again and again! Thank you!!
