Ground Espresso Bars in Newtownabbey

Nice place to stop when out shopping

I visited Ground in Next in Abbeycentre for a quick cuppa. The man who served me was a breath of fresh air. He was jolly, attentive and really seemed to be enjoying his work. He was kind and compassionate to all customers. He made my quick break a real treat. Try to hold on to him as he’s a real asset to your company.

Able to see all food and prices before ordering which was great. Quite a variety of food and drinks. Very friendly helpful staff.

Good health food n staff help us go table brc we have wheelchairs thk u.

I love coming here they have a great range of coffee and makeshakes,smoothies.

Love having tea here very relaxing 😌

Friendly staff & lovely views over the lough and cave hill 🥰

Can't beat a cappuccino and piece of Nutella cake

Nice coffee ☕ and food to for lunch

Nice but expensive staff are lovely and more than helpful..

Great location for a morning coffee and scone. The coffee tastes great, and there is a wide selection of food and drink available. The cafe is on the first floor, and has nice views over Belfast Lough. It has lots of windows, and is airy and bright. It has a public toilet close by.

Ordered a matcha vanilla cooler and it was undrinkable. Fresh cut grass steeped in hot water would probably taste better. As someone else mentioned, tables weren’t wiped or floors cleaned.

Today was my first time going to ground in Next at the Abbey Centre. Absolutely wonderful staff especially Jamie. Very helpful. I had my wee boy with me. Jamie brought my tray to table for me and went and got a high chair for me. Really professional and kind and polite.

Nice wee stop for a coffee as the wife spends all the money

Decent cafe, surprisingly clean at the end of the day. Nicely tucked away at the rear of the Next store. Plenty of seating and signs saying use the power points for laptops and phones and giving you the WiFi code - most cafes don’t promote using their power points but are happy enough to let you access their WiFi. Not sure where the toilets were or what they were like.

Such a nice coffee retreat located in Next department store, Abbey Centre. Me and my partner enjoy visiting here after shopping or just as a treat. I usually get the Cappuccino and we both share the Nutella Cake (when available), which is out of this world! Great views from here. You can see as far as Bangor, Belfast Docks and Belfast Lough. There is also plenty of tables, well spaced out as well as charging points by the window.

Bacon rolls and tea.Always hits the spot.

Great wee place. Lattes in a proper cup 👍

Would just like to say Stephen on the hot food in Abbeycentre is absolutely fantastic with the customers. Nothing ever seems to be a problem. Food and coffee was great.

Very rude and confrontational staff with zero social skills

Butter was mouldy it was sitting on the table beside the napkins in a warm cafe not refrigerated

Plenty of free tables to choose from and nice views and tasty food.

Excellent service from 2 very friendly lads one called Kris and I didn't get the others name. Made for a very enjoyable experience 👍

My Son, and the Grandchildren, and I Grandad Hugh. Really love going to the Ground Coffee Shop in Next Apartment Store at the Abbeycenter in Newtonabbey. Sorry I did not take photos to day.

Quite expensive, no salt sachets for sandwiches.

Great staff, very friendly and courteous. Good selection of treats as well.

Not any sign of tables and chairs being sanitised

Coffee and food, very good, staff are always helpful. The only low for me is the constant noise of children crying or screaming and running around. I think its a place where mums and childminders bring the kids. Not good if youre trying to answer emails.

It's a coffee shop with good coffee and some yummy nibbles. To my surprise, they only have 1 small espresso cup.

Hard burnt bap with cold bacon. 6 staff 4 customers 20 minute wait. Never again.

Know matter how many times I tell the staff, they nearly always turn the bacon bap bun into a rock, very very frustrating.

Great breakfast and it's quick and warm

Good fresh food but service was slow given there were 3 members of staff working.

Very nice indeed will definitely be back x

Lovely view, great space with kiddie corner and nice food

Great coffee and cakes, and a super view across to Belfast Lough. Also very handy to all the Abbey Centre shops.

Caffe' (diciamo )per noi Italiani il caffè è una cosa seria

Great coffee, spacious. clean and an outlook across Belfast lough.

My favorite coffee, lovely staff.

Friendly staff, tasty baguettes and quality coffees 🙂 a regular coffee felt a bit on the small side but still delicious

Good coffee and friendly staff with a nice view of Belfast Lough and Cavehill

Clean tidy lovely green tea an buns, friendly staff!

Lovely, friendly staff & great coffee.

Beautiful coffee, relaxing atmosphere very enjoyable. Worth a visit ❤

Great friendly staff ' food is lovely

This is a lovely relaxing place wìth great homemade food

Great coffee and some cake to go!

Great view, great food and kind staff. Really love the babycinos!

I am coeliac and went to ground for 'lunch' with my son. When I asked what my options were I was advised of a snickers cake or biscuits. I feel it's highly disappointing and unacceptable to go to coffee shop at lunch time to be told they have nothing gluten free available for lunch. This means I am unable to return to ground for lunch in the future, and am unlikely to go back for coffee either.

What can I say .....Nothing good the new manager is so bad at his job have been in and out of this place for a long time and never been talked to in such a tone not good at all sorry but you need to get some manners

Nice location, view over Belfast, good coffee too!
