New Grounds Cafe in Walnut Creek Ohio

New Grounds Café is right by the Wallhouse Hotel in Walnut Creek.  I have actually passed by here on our previous trips and thought it might be an interesting place to stop.

This restaurant is very deceptive.  From the outside, I wasn't sure if it was coffee shop or a general restaurant, or what exactly.

Once inside though, we realized that this is just a cool place.  It is huge too.  They had lots of seating, a pool room, a reading room, a big screen tv, etc.  If I were a young kid in Walnut Creek, this would be my hangout.

It seems they are doing the Christian café thing that has become sort of common these days.  I am not sure exactly what all they are doing, but I did see a book donation box, and a community message board.

This place reminded me of the arcade type cafes I remember from the 80s.  Big, roomy, lots going on, AND good food!


We ordered a small pizza and calzone and they were both great and filling.  In fact, either one would have been a meal for two.  We took enough back with us to make another meal out of it.
