Stomping Grounds Cafe Burgess
Inside Stomping Grounds Cafe Burgess
Stomping Grounds Cafe Burgess sits quietly at 9 Chumleigh Street, right inside Burgess Park, making it an easy retreat for locals and visitors looking to pause mid-day or start the morning with a solid cup of coffee. This is very much a cafe where the quality of the coffee takes center stage—favorites include a rich cappuccino and a smooth caramel frappe that are often enjoyed alongside flaky blueberry or toasted ham & cheese croissants. The food offerings stay simple and approachable, which pairs well with the laid-back vibe here.
The atmosphere leans into cozy comfort without feeling cramped. There’s indoor seating shaded by warm lighting and quirky shelves stocked with everything from handmade bracelets to coasters and bags, reflecting the local community’s creative spirit. Outside, seating spills gently onto the park, making it a pleasant spot when the weather cooperates—especially for dog owners, since the cafe thoughtfully provides dog treats, along with a small but cheerful canine presence inside.
Staff here add to the inviting feel with friendly and helpful service that keeps things personable rather than rushed. While prices stay on the affordable side, some regulars have noted the loyalty card rewards could use some rethinking. Still, the cafe’s energy stands out compared to typical park cafes, which often feel a bit bland or overpriced.
Stomping Grounds draws a mixed crowd: locals passing through on their daily walks, creatives working away on laptops inside, families enjoying the park with kids in tow, and even visitors who find their way here thanks to nearby Airbnbs. The vibe is relaxed and a little eclectic, making it a good stop whether you want a quiet moment alone or a casual catch-up with friends. Weekday mornings and early afternoons tend to be the best times to take advantage of both the seating options and the peacefulness of the park backdrop.
