Bit pricey for a fry . Sausages of poor quality for the price. The Best blackpudding available (clonakilty I believe). Service good , as food cooked to order it takes a while but fresh with a wait is better than stale instantly.

the worst matcha in my life. preparing matcha has its own rules - you can literally watch 1 minute video on tiktok and you‘ll know how to do that it’s not that hard. iced matcha doesnt mean that you will put the matcha powder in cold water

Weak coffee, very limited food choice. Arrived for lunch and as a vegetarian was offered porridge as a hot option. Very disappointed as this used to be a lovely trendy cafe.

This place used to be much better, 3 tables of customers and not a clean cup to use, had to have a takeaway cup... It's been a year since I've been to Ground Cookstown, but I think I'll go elsewhere in the future... also, staff should be behind the counter, not in the kitchen, leaning over work counters on mobile phones, while talking to other colleagues. At least one of them could be paying attention to the shopfloor. Also, toilets were out of order.

Called in for a coffee and bun. Service awful, informed couldnt have proper cup as they were in dishwasher or being used. Only 10 customers in place, which had proper cups. Customers directly after me were given proper cups. Coffee was also cold, when informed they made new cuppa but not what I requested. Won't be back

Grim at best..cheddar was off in panini, cutlery was stuck together with sticky remains of food and teapots needed more than a good wash..they had a thick line of tea stains from previous dripping spouts. No refund offered for the sour panini. Disgraceful customer service. Definitely won’t be returning. Had gone down hill terribly.

waitress unpleasant, sat at the table with friends. instead of getting interested in the customer, they showed where the sugar is, etc. I had to ask for sugar separately, and for a teaspoon the second time.

Nice location .... Pity the 'OVEN' closes early (15.45) on Saturdays .. it would have taken all of 3 mins.to heat my requested sausage roll ...but I was told such was quite impossible as the oven had closed .... What a way to run a business! ... Customers can indeed be quite a nusance!

Excellent all round, just had to drop a couple because of the price. Not from Cookstown and didn’t know where we might get a wee fry on the way through on a Sunday morning, no fry’s but bacon bap and breakfasts bagel and two coffees was £15. Very nice but I could have got two fry’s in a hotel for same or less, just though it was a bit expensive. Maybe I’m just tight…

Like many other people I’ve visited the ground cafe for quite awhile now. Disappointing with the low standard it has become. I asked the male waiter “Are dogs allowed inside the cafe” He replied “I don’t know and it’s in a pram” I thought he was away to check with a manager. Nothing was done to reassure me the 3 ladies with the dog continued to order food. One lady fed the dog a packet of chicken or ham keeping the pram turned towards the window and her body shielding as if no one could see what she was doing and trying to hide the dog making it look like a child in the dog pram. There is a 5 star rating displayed on the window but no sign to say dogs are welcome. I would like to know what the policy is if dogs are allowed and when was the 5 star rating granted. As staff would need informed on how to support its customers

Does some of the best coffee in the town when the staff can be bothered to stop talking to people and work, it also depends on who's working as some staff make it so hot it burns the flavor out of the beans and makes it impossible to hold for 10 or 20 minuites never mind drink it. Place could be good but management needs to step up and address quality inconsistencies and some general staff behaviour.

Been going to Ground for quite some time - today is the last time - coffee is good but food is limited and poor quality- cafe needs refurbished- will not be going back , place is going downhill and this is reflected in customer numbers dropping- is a real opportunity for a good cafe doing decent food in Cookstown

Nice and cosy, and the coffee was decent. However the staff where very unpleasant to deal with, they gave half answers and mumbled and told us at 20 past four that we couldn't get hot food as their oven was switched off at half four (ten minutes after our conversation). This answer took a lot of promoting. My wife's coffee was served in a cup that had not been washed since last usage evident in the fact that it was covered in someone else's lipstick.

Walked into this cafe on my way through Cookstown, having been told they serve the best coffee here - they really do. Since I'm the first to leave a review, I'll go over a few things I love about Ground: • fantastic, helpful and happy staff, ready to help out with anything • very good wifi connectivity • hot, tasty coffee (ask for a to go cup to keep it extra hot) • delicious looking freshly baked goods • clean toilet facilities • spacious café, big tables and very comfortable seats and couches(!) Extremely satisfied with their customer service. They have a couple of other Grounds around Northern Ireland which I haven't been to, but if I speak solely for Cookstown I'd say, if you're looking for the best coffee vibes - look no further.
