No need to visit if you are after good quality of food, coffee or service. This place only values with the ambience and all those social media that hyped about the cool deco. Service was terrible, waiters/waitress basically couldn’t be bothered serving us, as their attitude was definitely not friendly or approachable. Felt like it was my fault of even coming to The Grounds to eat. Coffee, no need to order those fancy drinks because all those whatever syrup will make it taste not like a coffee already. A drink or coffee that doesn’t taste like coffee costs you $12. We ordered 2 pastas both were very blain.

Amazing venue, every single detail was thought of, looked exactly like a factory. Finished breakfast to then accidentally get to go into the back to where the roasting happens and chat with the roaster about the process. Smell different coffees and learn how the process to roast. Highly recommend.

Giving a bit of style over substance vibes. Super expensive for fairly mediocre food. Great vibes/decor but be prepared to pay a lot for the experience
