Groundswell Cafe: DTES cafe with a large heart

By Diana (Foodology),
Special to The Post

Groundswell Cafe offers a space to meet, mix, socialize, strategize, collaborate and create – and get caffeinated! Being right in the Downtown Eastside right by Oppenheimer Park, Groundswell Cafe is making a difference in the community.
The cafés supports people to contribute meaningfully to their community.
My main goal coming here was to get caffeinated. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced. It’s not a large menu, but it’s just what you would want to see in a cafe.
Latte had a good balance of espresso and milk. I’m not exactly sure where they get their beans from, but it does have a slight sour taste to it.
Overall, my friends and I thought this was an awesome place in the neighbourhood. Good addition as it’s not just a cafe. They hire people from the area and it offers a lot of resources to those who need it.
