    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

    We ordered the Kangaroo Skewers, Yellowfin Tuna and a Tomahawk steak, along with broccolini and pumpkin as sides to share. Every dish was excellent. It exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend visiting for an incredible meal. We plan on going again.

    We were given a private room for a group booking. The staff were outstanding, offered great advice and assistance and made the night thoroughly enjoyable. The food was lovely, and portion sizes didn't leave you feeling too full or still hungry. The wine and drinks menu had something for everyone.
