Everything was perfect. From reservation to the ‘your table is waiting’ communication, the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the venue, the presentation of the food, the details in the respectful recreation of railway dining of a bygone era, the promptness of service and the overall experience!! Cannot recommend highly enough!!

The croissants were very hard! Not soft at all. The vanilla slice was out of stock at 10 am. A bit warm croissants would be amazing. We felt it wasn’t worth the hype and the money. No wonder the coffee was amazing.

Sofia was such an excellent server! She was knowledgeable, helpful and extremely welcoming to all of us. The Roasters Room was perfect for all 9 of us and the food was amazing Just one thing, if we order extras on the side, when we get the first, we went about asking where the extras are, to be told they were coming. This is really really picky, but if we could just be told straight up next time that would be great! Thank you everyone at the coffee factory!!

The server, got our order, the same dish × 4 wrong. This is after a discussion around the make-up of the dish. Consequently a long wait for our food and soggy underdone potato scallops.

My 11yo nephew and I had a brilliant breakfast. He was fascinated by the coffee roasting process, and the staff were so kind and showed him how it all worked. Best hot chocolate ever in a Rudolf glass, and all round yummy brekkie. Staff here are some of the best in sydney. Always happy and joyful.

The food was beautiful and location is fantastic. Unfortunately the service wasn’t great. It was really hard to order anything, even a bottle of water for the table. We felt abandoned by the staff. Also, the coffee I wanted wasn’t available, which was a little disappointing.
The Grounds Coffee FactoryResponded on December 10, 2024
Hi Tatiana, thanks so much for your feedback. It is disappointing to learn that the service you received fell short of the standard we hope to deliver each day, we do apologise that you were left feeling neglected. We would love the opportunity to speak with you directly and work towards inviting you back to enjoy the first class service we know we can deliver.

A very trendy eatery with great food and service. Right behind Redfern Station so easy to get to. Well worth a try, you will probably become a regular.

It’s a beautiful space, the food and coffee are great. However the service was way too slow, no where near enough staff for the number of tables. The staff themselves were all lovely, but just way too busy. The food is nice, but some of it was cold by the time it arrived. I feel the Grounds has expanded too far with this venue and there are other much better options in the Newtown/Redfern area.
