The Grounds of the City

Great vibes and fantastic breakfast options, coffee was burnt but it was busy so I’ll give the benefit of the doubt. Gluten free and dairy options are bang on. Inside ambient lighting and cozy tables give Paris bistro but with an English pub Fitout. Service on par though a little slow given the volume of customers. Will give it another crack sometime when it’s less busy and see how they fare!

I got the gluten free avocado on toast and really enjoyed it. The gluten free bread was very nice. They also confirmed I was intolerant and not coeliac which was nice. They also gave me a serrated knife for my bread! Fantastic touch and more cafes should do that. My husband had the chorizo and potatoes and really liked it as well. I found my peachy ice tea could have used a touch more sweetness. My husband said his coffee was great as well. Pretty quick for how busy they were as well. Atmosphere is dark and cosy and a bit on the loud side. Would recommend.

Had the loveliest meal at The Grounds and our server Djamel couldn’t have been more helpful. My boyfriend has celiac disease and Djamel was very helpful at informing us on what he could eat. We will definitely be returning.
