Customer Reviews

  • Milford, MI treasure!

    The quality of a small town should be measured by the quality of its indie coffee shops; based on The Proving Grounds, Milford, MI is an A+ 5 Star town. I’ve ordered and am enjoying a hot Maple Pecan latte which is heavenly. They had me at “Made in house syrups “ Extra points for roasting fair trade green beans in house! If you’re looking for a great experience drive the extra 100 miles for this Milford, MI treasure!

    Great coffee and better people. This is the kind of place that makes its community better. The staff are kind and friendly, the ambiance is comfortable. Oh, and the coffee is some of the best I've ever had.

  • Commitment to quality

    Great coffee! 10/18/2017 Reviewing again based on several visits since. More than just great coffee, but a great local business. Not corporate feeling, owners are always there, their enthusiasm showing in their smiles and commitment to quality and a great experience. This establishment makes Milford better. So glad for the folks who risked it to make Proving Grounds a reality.
