  • Fantastic food, service.. celiac safe options. Great place all year round but definitely a nice escape in the winter in a big open space surrounded by tropical trees. A mini winter get-a-way

  • The atmosphere is amazing—they have a new art collection every once in a while. This time they had hooked rugs! And there are plants everywhere and a greenhouse at back you can walk around in with wandering goats. The food was also amazing and they have a variety of sweets.

  • Great cafe for brunch! Tried the bagel sandwich and it was delicious! Coffee was great as well. Only thing they are missing is an espresso machine to have more variety of coffee beverages. Didn’t try any sweets but they looked amazing! Can’t wait to go back and try some more things on the menu

  • We visited Ground Murray’s Café in Portugal Cove about a month ago and really enjoyed the atmosphere—it’s such a nice and cozy spot. We ordered the strawberry flaky, cheesecake, the Ground omelette, and two dark roast coffees. The food was tasty and fresh, and the cheesecake was a real highlight! The only thing we found a little disappointing was the coffee selection. They only serve brewed coffee (self-serve with milk, cream, or sugar), so I couldn’t get a latte, which I would have preferred. For the price, it would be nice to see more coffee options on the menu. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stop by, with great food and a welcoming vibe.

  • Such a hidden gem. Farm to table delicious food, great service and great shop with fresh vegetables. Definitely worth the trip from downtown.

  • The Grounds Cafe is a great spot for brunch, lunch and desserts. Sorry the coffee wasn’t very good. We tried medium and dark roast. The dark roast was a bit better but I would stick to the many delicious food items available instead. Desserts are fantastic!

  • The Grounds Cafe is a fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch. I find that the place is bright and spacey however, seats are limited. They have a small menu but they're all delicious with fair prices. The staff is friendly however note that this place is a self serve kind of place, so you'd have to clean up your own table, especially if the previous diners left their own dirty dishes. Not sure if that's suppose to be like that but regardless we had a great time in this restaurant and we'll for sure to come back when we can.

  • I really enjoyed this one-of-a-kind nature-themed restaurant. Every dish was incredibly fresh, and the taste of all ordered items was excellent. In the summer, you should definitely visit the garden they have behind the cafe.
