Make Grounds Central Station in Manassas Your New Café!

Not all coffee shops are created equal.

While some specialize in great coffee, others offer an ideal work environment. A certain coffee shop might have excellent service while others open up for great community events.

In Manassas, there’s one coffee shop that does it all: Grounds Central Station.

Grounds Central Station

This café that began as a one-person endeavor has become a community staple in Old Towne Manassas, and it draws people for its excellent roasts, live music and knowledgeable baristas. Pop into Grounds Central Station for a quick cup of piping hot coffee or spend a day there getting work done; the atmosphere is great for writing, reading and finishing a major assignment.

What draws us most to Grounds Central Station, though, is their commitment to the community. When we enter the coffee shop we know we’re at a place that loves this town as much as we do. So whether we’re coming in to catch up with friends over one of their creative lattes or checking out a local musician at one of their open mic nights, we always feel at home at Grounds Central Station.

Head over to Grounds Central Station and see for yourself! It might just become your new favorite coffee shop.
