The coffee shop, Coffee Grounds, is my favorite place to go for coffee in the mornings in Payson. The pastries are delicious and homemade. The coffee is so good and you can tell they take pride in the beans they use to make it. The people are so nice and there's room to work with free Wi-Fi. Another place that is great is a coffee/tea shop named the Shroom Room. All their products are infused with different mushrooms that have different properties. They also have gummies, tinctures, lotions, etc. that are shroom infused for their health properties. Very welcoming place and highly recommended!
