Great cafe This cosy cafe-restaurant is a good solid option for a meal. There's an excellent menu and it offers some all day breakfast items. We had dinner there - the food was good and the portions were generous. The shakshuka and the roast chicken was excellent and the service was efficient and friendly. read more

This is the perfect brunch spot! Because of its popularity there is sometimes a line outside to be seated, but let that be a testament to how good it is! I went in with my friend while staying in the Whitechapel area and we got lucky and were seated within just a few minutes. I ordered a chai latte, and an avocado toast on sourdough with turkey bacon. Everything turned out delicious! I unfortunately ate it so fast that I didn't get any photos of the meal, only one of my beautiful (and tasty) chai latte. The overall vibe of the place is great too, there was good music playing the whole time, and our server was super friendly. Next time you're in the Whitechapel area you must try Grounded! read more

Such a cute coffee shop for a quick bite. I ordered a flat white, cappuccino, a raspberry (I think it might have been blueberry actually), apricot danish, pistachio scone and fried halloumi. The ambience is nice and cozy with dimmed lighting and old books. We really enjoyed our food and drinks. It was a lovely place to chat with friends. The staff were nice and helpful. Will be back! Accessibility: Small step up in to restaurant. Narrow spaces between tables. read more

Had breakfast in this charming cafe. Service is polite and we enjoyed the eggs Royale and a simple scrambled eggs and toast. Loved the sourdough bread with the hearty crust. The salad was abit over dressed but the hollandaise sauce was delicious. Would come back for another visit read more

Came by for breakfast the other day and it was a decent experience. Started off with a latte and it was tasty. Temperature of the latte was great and the espresso was smooth. Moved on to the Beef sausage breakfast and it was decent. The beef sausage were rather finely grounded and a touch salty. The over easy eggs were great over a slide of buttered sourdough. The turkey bacon was a refreshing change as they weren't overly salty. The hash brown appeared to be a frozen version. Service by the staff were attentive and cordial. £20.7 for breakfast including a 12.5% service charge. read more

A solid choice for a (halal) full english - they don't serve pork (which means beef sausage and turkey bacon). Busy, but not unwelcoming. Nice bread on the toast. Eggs were great (nice deep colored yolks). Service was good (if a little slow because it was so busy). read more

I knew I had to try this place based on the pics online and the breakfast did not disappoint! I got the French toast with no toppings and I will be back tomorrow to try the pancakes. The French toast bread was nice and thick and fluffy but I would have liked a little more flavor. It was good with the syrup but I thought the syrup was a little too sweet. The hot chocolate was very tasty and I will be ordering it every tiime I get food here. Their lunch/dinner selections looked good too so I will try to check them out while I'm on the area. I waited about 20 minutes for a table for 1 but it seems they are always very busy so be prepared to wait any time you come. read more

Nice restaurant. Literally always (seems) to have a line outside but they normally get you in rather quickly. Food is great. Vibes are superb. Idk whose playlist is playing but the couple of times I've visited them it was hitting. Service is excellent. Servers are attentive but not bothersome. Def recommend! read more

I found this cafe open at 7 am on a Saturday and it was only a 15 minute walk from my hotel. I didn't have high expectations but Grounded Coffee exceeded expectations. It's a medium sized coffee shop / restaurant with casual, comfortable seating for about 30 or so people. The service was welcoming and very fast. I had the Eggs Benedict which was a slight play off the classic breakfast. They used a thick piece of organic sourdough bread with two nice cuts of pan fried turkey bacon and two perfectly poached eggs on top. I had the hollandaise sauce on the side as I didn't want it downed in it but I ended up using the whole batch -- it was great! I also liked how it came with a small garden salad. I complemented the meal with a tall glass of their house-made carrot orange juice. It was a perfect start to the day. read more

Great Halal Full English Breakfast. The portions were huge!!! The French toast was also great and one plate was big enough for the 4 of us to share as a family. read more

Grounded is everything you'd want in a brunch option. With that in mind, avoid it for weekend brunch because it is crazy busy! Go for dinner or a late lunch because you'll be able to walk right in and order without dealing with a line. The vegetarian burger was wonderful, and the fries were exceptional. The English breakfast was very good but maybe not great. The sausage was bland, the beans were boring, but everything else delicious! I'd happily return. Staff made it a great experience by being prompt and helpful. Can't speak to the coffee because I didn't have any, but I'm sure it's at least as good as the food! read more

I came by myself to have breakfast and to relax. I sat down at the corner of the restaurant and had to flag down service to get a menu and order. I ordered a beef sausage breakfast because I wanted meat, beans, and sour dough. I told my waiter that I was still deciding on coffee and that the waiter never came back to ask me about my coffee or offered me water. I had to flag down another waiter to order my latte and ask for water as well. I understand that they were busy but for me to flag them down so many times is absurd. The place gave cozy cafe vibes and was very nice inside, great for dates or just catching up with a few friends, however I just could not with the service that was provided for me. The food was good and I really enjoyed the sour dough. In the end they lost points for their service. read more

Second review: came back to this cafe after a year during a stay in London and it was even better than the first time. The food is AMAZING! The coffee and the chai latte is probably the best one I've had anywhere. Their service is quick and everyone is super sweet. Usually a line out the door for seating but we got lucky when we went and did not have to wait. I would go here again when I'm back in London as this has become my go-to cafe for brunch. The place is just as cozy as the first visit. read more

Ate breakfast here and was impressed with everything overall. I got the full English breakfast, which was delicious. The toast and mushrooms were particularly good, I've had better sausage links though. The wait staff was friendly and helpful and they brought a whole pitcher of water for me even though I was only one person, which I appreciated. Would recommend coming here! read more

I knew this place would be a hit based upon the number of people in queue & it was absolutely amazing! The hostesses was so sweet as they brought water out to us in queue. Once inside it was a nice and cozy setup. We ordered Le French toast which was so good with the Crème fraiche & strawberry Jam I didn't even need the syrup. We also munched on scrambled eggs, beans, & turkey bacon which were cooked to perfection. If you are thinking about eating here just do it! It was a perfect 10 out of 10! read more

The food was delicious. Perfectly cooked eggs and deliciousness sourdough. Cappuccino was very good

breakfast here is incredible! definitely give the traditional UK breakfast a try, it was super yummy

The French toast comes says it comes with maple syrup but actually comes with high fructose corn syrup. When I asked the waiter he said it was maple, I asked to see the bottle and he said it was 20kg and couldn't show me. Maple doesn't make long strings like this. False labeling. read more

Stopped in for breakfast. They had lots of great choices and the coffee and tea was amazingly good.

This place is a hidden GEM! Everything was amazing! The pancakes are super fluffy. An order only comes with three but they are pretty filling. The apple cinnamon porridge was also amazing! They also have an extensive showcase of sandwiches on display which were too good to pass up. The veggie sandwich was amazing! And to top it off - the service is out of this world! Highly recommend this place! read more

A lovely gem on a busy street. I stopped in after being accidentally stood up for breakfast and desperately hungry. The hot chai and french toast were phenomenal--a lot of sugar, so be prepared, but so delicious. Tight quarters but handled well. Attentive servers. I'd seek it out again if in the area for either a drink or breakfast. read more

Holy moly! I may never have experienced a better brunch! French toast the size of an infant's head - smothered in strawberry jam, accompanied by rich maple syrup, fresh berries, and a generous dollop of crème fraîche and Nutella. I added a side of hash browns which were delish! My husband had a very generous serving of shakshuka that was delectable, which came with 3 slices of thick cut sourdough bread. He added a side of beef sausage - also delish! Our coffees were some of the best we've had in London! We will be back on future trips, for sure!! While the neighborhood may be a little out of the way, it is SO worth the trip! read more

I've read so many great reviews of this place and was quite disappointed with the food during my visit. Just about everything food-wise missed the mark. The chai latte w/ oat milk was very frothy and didn't have a chai taste at all. Even after I asked for more chai mix, it still tasted like warm, sour oat milk. The vegan pancakes, which I was told were good, tasted like cardboard -- very dense and lacked any flavor. Basically, you had to use the syrup and eat with the berries on top. Eventually, my desperation led me to a butter croissant, which I asked to have warmed and was delicious. The food is presented well and perhaps they have some good options, but what I tried generally missed the mark in the most disappointing way. On the plus side, the ambiance is great for meeting up with others or even studying alone. They're open all day and WiFi is free! read more

Nice, cozy ambiance. The service was good, but the tastiest items on my full english breakfast plate were the baked beans & grilled mushrooms. They use beef sausage which tasted very bland and had no texture. There sandwiches looked good, so I'll try them for lunch if I get a chance. read more

What an absolutely awesome place! Very busy so prepare to wait outside the restaurant like we did. However it was fast and we were in five minutes later. Service is fast and friendly. Food is ok priced and delicious. The counter with all the ready made breads and wraps looks amazing as well. Also one of the very few places where I got proper filter coffee instead of an americano. read more

We went for dinner. Both got super excited when we saw brisket. American and English brisket are two distinctly differently prepared meals. It was more like a traditional pot roast preparation. It was really good, savory flavor with a gravy. Served with greens and toasted sourdough. It all came together well and didn't disappoint. We had the chocolate cake with the chocolate filling for dessert. We nearly licked the plate. Service was excellent as well. We'd highly recommend the dinner. We'll try breakfast next time. read more
