    Great ambience, customer service was much friendlier than other The Grounds units. Love the decor just a bit too noise.

    Nice atmosphere and a favourite spot for instagramers and photo lovers. The breakfast all day smoothie was too sweet. The avocado toast was tasteless and soggy. Luckily the coffee was ok. Overall, it’s a disappointing experience. I’d like to come back if the food quality could be improved.

We’d love to have you back and hope your next visit is more in line with the high standards we aim to provide. - Nagi (The Grounds)

    Have been numerous times and usually attentive staff and great food. This vist was disappointing with Avocado toast with egg cold and lacking flavour. It had excessive butter and lack of seasoning. It felt like a different restaurant to my previous visits

    It would be perfect if the coffee factory's machines could be turned on. Today, when I went there, the machines were not turned on.
    The Grounds Coffee FactoryResponded on 14 April 2025
    Dear ANQI, Thank you for your feedback. We roast our coffee beans regularly, but unfortunately, we can't keep the machines running all the time as it can get quite noisy. We hope you can visit us when the roasting is happening to experience the process firsthand. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you again! - Nagi (The Grounds)

    The patty of the burger was well done instead of medium, and it was quite dry.
