Welcome to Grounds and Gold, more than just a café – a place where community, passion, and a love for delicious treats come together. Behind the warm ambiance and the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee lies a heartfelt story of resilience, vision, and a tribute that transforms grief into something beautiful. Grounds and Gold is not your ordinary café; it’s a symbol of love, legacy, and the incessant desire to give back to the community that shapes us.

Grounds and Gold sprouted from the seeds of Gold Ribbon Confections, a bakery founded by Maurice Ahern in honor of his son, Micah Ahern, who, after a valiant six-year battle with cancer, earned his wings in July 2016. This bakery was not just a business; it was Maurice’s way of keeping Micah’s spirit alive while serving the community. But Maurice envisioned something bigger—a café that would extend the bakery’s reach and deepen its mission. Teaming up with family members Jenifer and Jimmy Kinley, they brought to life Grounds and Gold. This community café stands as a beacon of Micah’s legacy, offering more than just exceptional baked goods; it is a gathering place steeped in love and remembrance.

The vision for Grounds and Gold Café goes beyond serving top-notch coffee, bites, and sweets. It’s about crafting a unique and warm atmosphere where connections flourish—where family, friends, and colleagues can come together and create lasting memories. Maurice, Jenifer, and Jimmy aimed to create a space that feels like an extension of your living room but with the added charm of a café that catered to the soul of the community. Grounds and Gold is designed to be a hub for various events, equipped with both an intimate meeting room and a larger event space. Whether it’s for a casual catch-up, a business meeting, bible studies, birthday parties, or even bridal showers, Grounds and Gold offers a versatile and welcoming venue tailored to enhance every gathering.

In its essence, Ground Dennis and Gold is more than just a café; it’s a dream realized in the most heartwarming way. Maurice, Jenifer, and Jimmy have created a space that honors a beloved son while embracing the community with open arms. It’s a place where every sip of coffee and every bite of a baked good carries the weight of a story—a story of loss, love, and the undying hope of making a difference in the lives of others. Grounds and Gold invites you to be part of this continuing story, one visit at a time.
