Yay! Finally I was able to visit this place. I spent my Monday morning \u00a0with my siblings at this earthy hang out spot “The Grounds”. It’s a very innovative cafe with an organic garden. I’ve heard there can be long queues of people during lunchtime so we figured coming in at 8 for breakfast. Their menu was quite varied and interesting. We ordered four different dishes: The Grounds breakfast, Turkish poached eggs, Quinoa cake and blueberry pancake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The waiting time, thankfully, wasn’t too long. The presentation of the food and servings were great. I ordered Turkish poached eggs with baked beans. I found the combination kind of strange. But the bread that they served it with was really nice. My brother enjoyed the Quinoa cake, while my sister liked their signature breakfast.<\/p>\n

We had the blueberry pancake for dessert. It was really moist and delicious. It was served with toasted walnuts, lemon-flavoured butter and Canadian maple syrup.<\/p>\n

After having breakfast, we hung out and explored the place. The first thing that caught my attention was the farm. It was small with goats and a massive pig named Kevin Bacon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a huge space with elegant, curved chairs and beautiful interiors. It had a retro vintagey feel, which I loved.<\/p>\n

There was a wishing fountain at the center, next to the organic garden and farm. My sister and I tossed a coin and made a wish. It reminded me of our Europe trip back in 2000, at the “Trevi” fountain in Italy.<\/p>\n

There were clotheslines with hanging denim, a flower shop and an ATM machine inside a telephone booth, which I found really cute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Outside the cafe, there was an old truck with its name on it. I found it really innovative and very welcoming for visitors. My siblings and I had a great time. I plan to bring our parents next time to try their famous brunch and check out the market stalls during the weekends.<\/p>\n

There was nothing quite like it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
