Description

Holy Grounds Coffee & Book Shoppe is a faith-based coffee and bookshop on the first floor of St. James Anglican Cathedral in Liberty, MO, at 342 N Water St, north of the Downtown Liberty Square.¹² Established in 2023, it serves coffee alongside Christian books and gifts and operates as a cause-driven fundraiser — “Drink Coffee for a cause!” — with proceeds going toward restoring the 179-year-old church’s historic steeple.²³

⚑ Operator disclosure: Holy Grounds is operated by St. James Anglican Cathedral as a church ministry / community fundraiser, not a privately owned business. (Per the Northland-coffee discovery plan, the Registry admits mission-driven local nonprofits/community operations with this disclosure.) Correction note: an early version of the discovery plan mis-attributed the operator to “St. John of God Community Services” — that is an unrelated same-name nonprofit in New Jersey; the Liberty, MO shop is the St. James Anglican Cathedral operation.²
