Grounded Aldgate

Grounded Whitechapel offers a good coffee experience with generally satisfactory service. During my weekday visit, the cafe was busy but there were seats available. The atmosphere, however, was rather noisy. The homemade buttermilk pancakes were nice — fluffy, soft, and served warm. The coffee was decent. That said, the seating arrangement felt somewhat cramped, with tables placed close together, making the space feel congested; you’re seated very close to other diners. There was a noticeable sense of urgency to eat quickly, as the staff seemed eager to clear tables promptly to accommodate the steady flow of customers. In fact, the waitress was taking my coffee away before I had finished it. I paid £17.95 for my pancakes and coffee, and the service should be a lot better. Instead, I felt somewhat pressured to leave to free up space for others. Overall, it was a satisfactory visit with good food.

Loved our breakfast here. The chia pudding was so good. The service was exceptional, food came out in like 5 minutes.

The omelette was a little dry for me so it tasted slightly bitter. Beef was medium doneness it tasted delicious 👍. French toast totally fine and this is favorite mocha coffee.
