    Great food and service but I find the prices are a tad too high for the quantity of food served.

    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

    My friends and I had an amazing time celebrating my husbands birthday yesterday over lunch! Both the food and the service were of an exceptional standard. Staff member Laura was especially kind and generous with her time and attention and ensured that my husbands birthday was acknowledged. We could not fault the food , deco and service! We can’t wait to go there again!

    It was hard to get the attention of the wait staff despite there being multiple waiters on the restaurant floor. They seem to be too distracted talking to each other in their ear pieces, or glazing over customer eye contact. It took me about 5 mins to eventually get the attention of waiter to get my bill !
