SitemapTucked away in the Glenwood Corridor on Youngstown's South Side, Glenwood Grounds Cafe is serving up coffee and community at a discount.
"We're here to be a place of hope for the neighborhood, and to be able to help the neighborhood out. ... We are striving to keep the prices as low as we can," said Steve Sherhag, ministry assistant at Hope For Renewal.
The nonprofit Christian ministry opened the space on Glenwood Avenue in 2022. It's open every Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
In 2024, the national average price for a latte was $5.46, according to a study by point-of-sale system Toast. At Glenwood Grounds, the same kind of drink is currently available for just $2.50. Drip coffee, cold brew, chai and matcha are all also listed at below-average prices.
The affordable menu is made possible by low overhead costs, according to Sherhag, who said the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation helped Hope For Renewal buy its building on Glenwood Avenue in 2022.
