Ground Espresso Bars in Derry

Perfect decaf cortado thank you… not many baristas can make it properly

I don’t write reviews often, but felt I needed to share. I am coeliac and struggle with coffee bars such as Nero or Costa for any food (that isn’t a dry biscuit). I thought this coffee bar (in Derry) would be the same, however the staff informed me that they could make me any sandwich or toastie as they had gluten free bread. I went for a toastie. Usually I’m a bit apprehensive on toasties as most gluten free toasties fall apart due to the bread and can be quite dry. This was one of the best toasties I have had. It was delicious and I will definitely be back here again! Coffee was 10/10 also. Thank you.

Nice wee upstairs café and good service

The food is really good and they have a nice selection, the coffee was very good! Definitely a cafe to go more than once

Place has really gone downhill over the last couple of months. Always very dirty and speed of service has dropped drastically (waited near 20 minutes for a coffee and sausage roll). Standard of coffee also not good anymore and levels of customer service have dropped noticeably, staff not very friendly.

Not the cheapest place for coffee and food. But very high quality.

Nice and clean. Great coffee, and a superb brownie!

Always a great selection of tasty food and coffee choices. Friendly, approachable staff. Nice decor giving a rustic but modern look, place is always tidy and is family friendly too

Best cofffee in town. Amazing staff, hard working and so helpful and friendly. Always an enjoyable experience visiting here. Well done to you all. Many thanks

Excellent coffee in comfortable surroundings, great selection of tasty food, staff goodcservice and friendly. Very helpful! I go several times a week. Best in area, highly recommend!

Nice place for a rest and a bit cuppa

They make a great chai latte :)

Pleasant sorroundings easy access and parking

Staff are young but very nice. Cleanliness levels good.

Would like more sandwiches without cheese. I always have to ask for cheese to be removed, a request that is always done by staff.

Really nice barrista coffee and a chill atmosphere also

I have called in a few times lately to Ground and first of all I have to mention the two guys Joshua and Alex who where serving behind the counter with being in retail myself these guys went far and beyond customer service , polite , helpful and such a lovely way with customers , assurance these guys have every expectation of success and caring approach was visible , the tables were cleaned as soon as customers left and safety was at the forefront My food was very nice and great variety I shall be in L’derry frequently and shall make this my call on my onward journey Keep up the good work and guys you deserve a pat on the back !!

Although this is the Londonderry branch, my review applies to Ground Espresso Bars overall. To be honest they need to stop! They have grown themselves far too fast. My main complaint is that they do not know how to make a cappuccino - in any branch I have been in. It should have more milk foam than milk otherwise it is a glorified latte. I complain every time. The last time I complained in store, the staff member agreed with me but said that's how head office trains us. I was rather shocked. I complained to head office by email, to then get an automated response stating the current COVID situation means no staff are in offices. I don't agree with this either - I this is a cop out. They can't do this indefinitely. Otherwise this is bad management - and not fair for staff on the ground floor (no pun intended!) Surely someone can work from home. How does the branch management contact senior management? It is a shame that their coffee is disastrous. Their salted caramel brownies are delicious. Thank goodness I can get these to take home.

Taken by a friend for a coffee and catch up, lovely wee place caramel squares are yummy, but my cappuccino could've been hotter, but was still palatable

Good coffee and reasonable prices

Nice coffee and cake, lunch beef bab very basic

Would give it zero if i could greasey stale bagel was awful.

Lovely coffee, I had a delicious flat white & lemon 🍋drizzle cake. Yummy

Great place , super friendly staff , coffees great too

Good coffee shop that also serves hot food and cakes. Based on top floor of Next. Presently doing takeaway because of latest covid restrictions, but still good quality. Handy place to get food and coffee, if your waiting for someone with an appointment at Altnagelvin. Plenty of free parking.

Nice place and lovely staff .Unfortunately the carrot cake I purchased was stale and my husbands pastel de nata also was not fresh. Disappointed.

Fantastic food and friendly staff

Pricing of food items is not displayed leading to lunch being very expensive. When issue re pricing up of food item was raised response was totally inadequate and included a "shoulder shrug" not good. Would be no stars if that was possible.

Great little cafe tucked away in a corner of Next stores Lisnagelvin in the Waterside area of Derry. Pleasant staff and a good selection of food, teas and coffees. Take ten minutes out of your shopping nearby and relax

Coffee was perfect and staff was friendly and polite

Best coffee I have ever tasted!! Can never pass without stopping. Lovely selection of sweet and savoury snacks as well.

Dont have anything to eat with no cheese on it! Always over fill tea pot, and banana was past it

To expensive never have soup 3 times i have been in

The real deal for coffee lovers

Extremely good food aswell as high quality service.

Lovely coffee, traybakes and carrot cake. Relaxed atmosphere.

Very nice spot for a pleasant cup of coffee or a snack. Nice ambience. Coffee tastes good. Staff friendly today when I was in, and very helpful.

Great coffee, value for money, Lovely staff, great decor, love it 😉

Lovely atmosphere and great coffee,

Good coffee, pleasant, relaxing atomsphere, good selection of food to choose from, nice staff, loyalty card and free wifi...

Delicious flat whites and the caramel square was delectable. I used to not like caramel squares, but I'm now converted!
