The Grounds Coffeehouse + Bakery

In an unlikely location for those not Brock University staff or students, this small cafe offers wide choices for customers. Their coffee and tea menu were extensive. There was a case with sandwiches on croissants (with meat and vegetarian options), and many bars/cookies (with regular, "healthy", gluten-free, vegan, and raw options). I only had a black coffee and a chat with a friend. Both were great.

Good variety of menu items for a hotel restaurant. Food was served at the appropriate temperature. Service was quick and wait staff were efficient and polite. Price point was appropriate for food served.

So happy that we found this café right near Brock University. The only other choices for coffee nearby are MacDs and Timmys, both of which are not an option for me (don't care for the taste of their coffee). The espresso-based drinks at The Grounds are delicious, and they have many tea and Italian soda choices as well. Sandwiches, salads, and baked goods are also delicious - their pear and Brie sandwich is one of our favourites.

Super cute little cafe, the owner was very kind and even chatted with us and wished my best friend a swift labour! .......

The food and service here is consistent. Always fresh, affordable and yummy. My favorite is the Raw Bar, super good and healthy too. Definitely a stop worth making for a quick, healthy and affordable meal.
