About Us

Grounds Around Town is a mobile coffee shop located in Norwalk, Iowa.

Clayton Garrison and Alex Schmeiser started Grounds Around Town in 2019 after noticing a need in the community for a local coffee shop. By operating out of a trailer that is mobile, Grounds Around town is able to provide coffee throughout the city as well as throughout the Des Moines metro for catering and fundraising events.

We invite you to stop by and check out our proprietary espresso and coffee blends as well as other delicious offerings.
