HomeGround Cafe is one of those rare places that gets everything right. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—thoughtfully designed, leaving you with a warm cozy feeling. The food is consistently wholesome and full of flavour, clearly made with quality local ingredients. Prices are really reasonable for the standard you get. Coffee here is a standout. The baristas clearly know their craft and take pride in every cup. It’s become my go-to for both a quiet solo coffee or meetings with colleagues. Sarah, the manager, has created something special—warm, and worth supporting. Highly recommend dropping by if you're in the area.

We ordered the build your own breakfast and it was beautiful, and my daughter got the vegetarian pancakes and she is a fussy eater and she loved it. Would highly recommend and would come again.

Great little coffee shop. I used it to work from for a couple of hours. I had an iced latte since it was boiling outside plus a few soft drinks whilst I was there. The food looks amazing next time I am here I will come here for breakfast or lunch. Also very reasonably priced.
