"Who knew it would be a genius idea to open a cafe in a garden centre? The Grounds Cafe at Murray’s Garden Centre in Portugal Cove serves brunch and lunch fuelled by the restaurant gardens in a dining room with cathedral-like ceilings and hanging plants and hooked rugs adorning the walls." - Gabby Peyton

Great cafe for brunch! Tried the bagel sandwich and it was delicious! Coffee was great as well. Only thing they are missing is an espresso machine to have more variety of coffee beverages. Didn’t try any sweets but they looked amazing! Can’t wait to go back and try some more things on the menu

The Grounds Cafe is a great spot for brunch, lunch and desserts. Sorry the coffee wasn’t very good. We tried medium and dark roast. The dark roast was a bit better but I would stick to the many delicious food items available instead. Desserts are fantastic!

The Grounds Cafe is a fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch. I find that the place is bright and spacey however, seats are limited. They have a small menu but they're all delicious with fair prices. The staff is friendly however note that this place is a self serve kind of place, so you'd have to clean up your own table, especially if the previous diners left their own dirty dishes. Not sure if that's suppose to be like that but regardless we had a great time in this restaurant and we'll for sure to come back when we can.

Delicious food, lovely seating spaces, lots of vegetarian options and there are select vegan options too! Very fresh and lots of different options. I love the concept of the cafe attached to a garden centre and big farm: also ensures that everything is fresh.

We decided to try the pizza after hearing many positive reviews. While the pizza itself was quite good—particularly the Farm variety—it took nearly an hour to arrive after we ordered. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. The staff didn’t come across as very welcoming, and there’s definitely room for improvement in customer service. The atmosphere had potential but could have been more inviting with softer lighting. We sampled the Spice Bee, Farm, and Margherita pizzas, and the Farm was the standout. That said, we’re unlikely to return, mainly due to the long wait time and underwhelming service experience.

We had a bit of a wait to receive our food but the wait was absolutely worth it! the black bean burger was amazing! probably the best non meat burger i’ve had yet! and the fries were seasoned perfectly. The staff were kind and all had smiles on their faces. i already cannot wait to visit again! this cafe is seriously worth checking out!

I've been a loyal fan of The Grounds since they first opened in 2017, and they’ve never missed a beat! Every single meal — from their incredible breakfasts and fresh bowls to mouthwatering pizza and irresistible treats — is consistently delicious. It's easily the best spot in St. John's and the surrounding area, hands down! The atmosphere, the quality, the service — everything is top notch. I can't recommend it enough! ❤️

I really enjoyed this one-of-a-kind nature-themed restaurant. Every dish was incredibly fresh, and the taste of all ordered items was excellent. In the summer, you should definitely visit the garden they have behind the cafe.
