    The Affogado that was served didn’t look like the picture on the menu. Also the Braised beef I ordered wasn’t as expected. I dont think there was a mention of noodle as part of the engredient. The noodle was more than the beef. The noodle was also quite hard (half cooked?!)

    Food was not good at all... I had a big breakfast, and it was very disappointing. There's no taste at all, so do not recommend that to anyone.. Drinks we got smoothies and really enjoyed them. Service was ok.. very busy at 8.45, so I can understand. They made an effort to welcome us, but it was a hit and miss situation. The atmosphere is so loud , so be ready to talk very loudly or just text each other. Good clean vibe. Music is a bit too much, but I think that's because we were sitting right under the speakers. Overall experience is ok, but for the dollar amount you spend, it's not the best spot for breakfast.

    I’m not sure this place is worth going to anymore. It’s so loud, the staff look miserable and it’s impossible to get parking. The food is fine but nothing special. The Christmas exhibit looks a lot better on instagram than in real life.

    Coffee takes too long . Despite ordering before our meals the coffee arrived after we had finished eating and the waitress passed hot drinks over the baby’s in his high chair. And didn’t apologise!!!! This left us feeling annoyed even though food was good.
    The Grounds of Alexandria CafeResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Kerrie, We occasionally can get extremely busy on the coffee counter so I apologise for your delays in recieving your hot drinks and the situation with the barista passing over the hot drink infront of your baby. I will be sure to speak with the team to prevent this from happening again. Thank you for your feedback. The Grounds Team
