5 Friendly and helpful staff created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We ordered an eggs benedict and avo smash - classic dishes taken to a whole new level of flavour. Highly recommend and we would definitely return
5 The food was delicious. My mom enjoyed the hot long black, and the iced matcha was perfect with the hotcakes. The staff were very kind and helpful. One staff member explained the price difference between paying by cash or card, which was very helpful. Such a nice place!
5 Lovely fresh food. Fritters were a winner with spiced sauces. Ambience was peaceful and not loud. Outdoor covered dining available for dogs. Neurodivergent friendly atmosphere. Filled with artworks to admire also. A pleasure to support small local cafes. Will come back for pizza.
5 had a lovely dining experience at Ground Zerro the atmosphere was great and made even better by the friendly and attentive staff I definitely recommend the food. there's a lot of great options, I went with the avo toast that was amazing and well flavoured. The quality is great and fresh and a lot of care is put into the presentation. also had the PERFECT iced chai latte
5 I come back here all the time, this is 10/10. Staff is so friendly and the food is banging, I have brought and dragged all my friends here and they all have come back themselves. big tip is : prawn chilli scrambled is the BEST chilli scramble I have had in
5 Lovely food and terrific service in a quiet courtyard out the back away from the wind. The corn fritters were full of flavour and the hot cakes were delicious and sweet. Recommended. We'll be back!
5 Ground Zerro is very nice. Nav was all by herself and she gave amazing service. She always made sure that we were happy with everything and was very accomodating. The Food was very good and seasoned well. We ordered the burger, breakky roll, Lamb ragu and buttermilk pancakes and everything tastes amazing. The fruit on the pancakes were fresh and sweet. The coffee was also really good.
