I’ve been to this place twice and probably more to come. Service is excellent and staff very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Food was delicious and the portions were generous. The pancakes were as good as they looked. Lovely big brekkie and hazelnut chocolate cake, both of which were exceptionally good. The peach coffee flavour was unique and absolutely delicious. Note: I’d highly recommend making a reservation beforehand especially for weekend.

Had a lovely visit this morning. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was wonderful, and they were especially kind and patient with kid, which made the experience even better. I also bought two bags of coffee beans, and the staff were so knowledgeable. He took the time to recommend beans that suited my taste. You can really tell they’re passionate about what they do. Such a warm, inviting place with great food and excellent coffee. Highly recommend!

The Ground Coffee Factory is one of those cafés that instantly leaves a great impression. They offer a wide variety of coffees, so there’s something for every coffee lover. I tried their iced latte, and honestly, it’s the best iced latte I’ve ever had—perfectly balanced, smooth, and incredibly refreshing. To go with the coffee, I had a chocolate pastry, and it was absolutely delicious. It was rich, fresh, and full of flavour, making it the perfect pairing with the coffee. What really stood out was the service. The staff were extremely friendly, polite, and very well organised. Even during rush hour, everything was handled efficiently without compromising on quality or customer experience. Overall, it’s a fantastic café with great coffee, tasty pastries, and excellent service. I’d highly recommend The Ground Coffee Factory and will definitely be returning again.

This place seriously impressed me. The Grounds Coffee Factory has such a great atmosphere, the space is beautiful, buzzing and full of energy, and the service was spot on. It was very busy so there was a bit of a wait for food, but honestly it didn’t matter once it arrived. The batch brew was a Kenyan coffee, beautifully smooth and easy to drink, soft and subtle rather than strong, exactly my style. The hot cakes with bacon were outstanding, light, fluffy and perfectly balanced, an easy 10/10. Around the table, the brekky burger and sausage and egg muffin were also big hits. A fantastic breakfast spot and one I’ll absolutely be returning to.

A very nice cafe to visit in Eveleigh. I really like the vibe and the way they have transformed what seems to be an old warehouse/factory. The staff were friendly and efficient, and they split bills too. There is a good range of vegetarian options, and the portions are generous. Nothing particularly special about the dish, but it was a nice breakfast. The coffee menu has plenty of choices, including matcha lattes and matcha frappes if you like that. It was a bit busy in the morning, but we didn't have to wait for a table. The food came out quickly, and the people waiting outside seemed to be grabbing takeaways, so maybe expect a short wait during the morning rush. I'd definitely come back.
