It’s a beautiful space, the food and coffee are great. However the service was way too slow, no where near enough staff for the number of tables. The staff themselves were all lovely, but just way too busy. The food is nice, but some of it was cold by the time it arrived. I feel the Grounds has expanded too far with this venue and there are other much better options in the Newtown/Redfern area.

Been here multiple times but the service the last time we went is the worst. Your attendant named David is rude and unprofessional. I dont know why he is working in hospitality if he has no patience to the guests. Very unfortunate that he is tarnishing the grounds brand.

It was my second time there, this time during breakfast. The service was incredibly slow, had to call someone to get our order, even the water. Been seated for 15mins and no one approaching us. Coffee took forever as well. First time as was here they were faster that's why we came back but at this time definitely really slow service. Front of house have to be called all the time to get our attention, already been there an hour so decided not get anymore dessert, just waited to long.

The Grounds Coffee Factory is truly a unique spot to enjoy a stylish ambience with lovely people from the warm welcome in the beginning to the great service in the restaurant to the lovely goodbye. We not only tried the delicious, perfect lunch, coke with vanilla ice cream (super delicious even if it sounds crazy in the first place) but also enjoyed banana split and obviously the fantastic coffee. The lovely waitress Eva really made our stay perfect and treated us with so much warmth and kindness. Our factory tour beforehand with the amazing Emerson was an adventure too. He truly followed his passion to share his devotion for coffee and included us fully in his tour, answered every question and made us feel very welcome. Every single interaction was just so nice and we truly enjoyed how special each and everyone treated my family and me. Thank you so much - we'll be back! Lena, Fritz & Michele
