Peaceful, fast internet, food looked great, and they seemed to care about their coffee. The filter coffee I got was obviously prepared with care, but was only okay. The espresso drinks looked fantastic as they came out. I'll be getting one of those next time.

I Do recommend you to come to Ground Coffee!!! Ground Coffee is on the way to go wo my workplace. I regulrary have a cup of coffee. I felt huge warm and kindness at first time having coffee. I told him I am so much interested in coffee. Everytime he gives me coffee, he explains what he uses coffee beans. That is so nice for coffee beginers like me I thought Ground Coffee is one of big coffee shop brand because there are so many companies in twin building. It was not, Sam & Marie own Ground Coffee. I could have small talk with Sam everymorning. I knew He has been wanting to open his own coffee shop for many years. And Sam won 2017 London Latte art competition!!! I could not stop enjoying my Healing Coffee time. Please come and have awesome Ground Coffee!!!

Sam’s coffee is absolutely the best I’ve ever tasted! Every cup has such a rich, smooth flavor, and you can really tell the care and passion that goes into it. My favorite is the filter coffee, which has a unique flavor each time depending on the beans. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to enjoy and learn from Sam — his dedication and skill make every coffee experience special. Highly recommend to anyone who loves quality coffee!⭐
