The Grounds
Lunch, brunch and breakfast
There are a few ideas behind the name of The Grounds. One suggests its because almost everything served is grown on location, but others believe it's about the owners setting new grounds in quality coffee. The industrial warehouse turned sophisticated setting roasts coffee according to its origin and flavour profile to enhance unique tastes. And furthermore, despite this next level approach to early dining, the service and setting are humble and holistic - a refreshingly grounded, honest approach to first class produce.
