Review Ground Cafe - Wollongong

Lovely service. Dog friendly out the front. Quite a lot of choices of food but the burgers /BLAT were a bit dry. Cold drip was very smooth. Edit: had to deduct stars as a friend got food poisoning after their fish and chips.

Would say the best 5 star restaurant in the entire Illawarra. Food is on point with flavour as well as the drink options they have for non-alcoholic drinkers. Atmosphere was sensational with calm and relaxing Spanish music. Staff were really friendly which enhanced my experience. Would definitely recommend and visit here again to try the whole menu.

Ordered numerous items with a large group of friends. Bacon was a little too crispy in my brekkie roll but was ok overall, if anything was quite small for the price. The fresa juice was ok, didn’t wow me like some freshly squeeze juices do. Staff hospitality could also be improved, cheerfulness in cafe restaurants go a long way. Not a terrible experience but I will look elsewhere next time I’m in the area.

The food was unreal and the coffee was fantastic. I’m from Canada so when I saw “Bear” in the name I had to check it out and I was not disappointed! Planning to come back for some late night tapas on the weekend.

Food was good. Service hmmm...put at a table and midway through our meal we were told that we they had a booking and needed the table. Given an hour to dine in and food coming 20 mins into that hour. Spending $160 on breakfast.... Not what I expected. First and last.

Had breakfast here recently. Excellent service and good food. Good options for everyone. Accessible. Indoor and outdoor seating. My only complaint is that they had the big front windows open and the food went cold really quickly.

Excellent service. There were only two wait staff when we dined on a Saturday night but they did a wonderful job looking after our big crowd. Food is above average.

We read good things about this cafe/ tapas bar and decided to head there for a lazy Sunday lunch. We arrived without a booking which for lunch is completely acceptable. We had no trouble getting a table and a very friendly waiter showed us to a table inside. There was a lot of people dining when we were there and the hard polished concrete floors meant that the volume got close to excessive a number of times. As far as ambiance goes the modern industrial decor is pleasant but the noise was a bit bothersome. The menu is extensive and includes Spanish, Mexican and more traditional cafe/ bistro fare. We ordered three mains from the lunch cafe menu and a round of drinks. The food was well prepared with fresh and flavourful ingredients. The serving sizes were adequate but a side of fries with a burger or a small salad with the mixed grill would have improved the value and enjoyment of the meal. Overall what we had was good but not excellent. I would love to come back and try some dishes from the tapas selection as I think this is what this venue is known for. In conclusion... I’ll be back to see what more this funky venue has to offer.
