Ground Espresso Bars, nestled in the picturesque setting of The Old Pump House by the River Bann, is an exemplary coffee shop that rings true to its name. Customers rave not only about the quality of the coffee but also about the delightful atmosphere and accommodating staff. James Mcilveen's account speaks volumes—Rhiannon and Katie, who served coffee just before closing, left a lasting impression with their friendliness and chat, highlighting the warm service ethos at Ground Espresso.

William Cook and Duke NI UK both emphasize the café's vibrant ambiance, perfect for catching up with friends, as well as its lovely outdoor seating area during sunny days. The café's offerings extend beyond just coffee; Avery Cro can't stop praising the delicious sandwiches, toasties, and a splendid array of cakes, with the Mocha paired with Lemon Drizzle cake being a standout recommendation.

Furthermore, Paul Hogan notes the family-friendly aspect with outdoor space for children, making it a versatile spot for all. Ground Espresso Bars embodies a seamless blend of top-notch beverages and welcoming service, making it a must-visit haven for coffee lovers and social gatherings alike.

Reviews For Ground Espresso Bars

I called in after a cycle, it was 4.50 pm and almost closing time , the two girls Rhiannon and Katie were pleasant and helpful, even though it was 10 minutes to close they made us coffee without any fuzz, could easily said sorry we’re closing and we’d have went elsewhere but it was no trouble and Rhiannon happily chatted as she made the coffees . The coffee and carrot cake was gorgeous as well, both these girls are a credit and an asset to your company. Will return just for the pleasant way we were served , thank you Rhiannon and Katie

The pump house is a great place for a coffee with friends and a chat. Sit in or out . This is a popular place and is always busy.

Ground Espresso Portadown is situated in a prime location literally on the periphery of the town centre yet in a picturesque, peaceful spot right beside the River Bann. There is limited car parking onsite including parking for the disabled, with ramp access to the cafe. Good selection of food and tray bakes.... coffee is excellent and their barista staff obviously know what they are doing. Certainly worth a visit, particularly on a clear sunny morning. One can sit out on their patio which is a sun trap, catching rays from early morning well past lunchtime.

A group of friends and I met up to play some Magic: The Gathering and hangout. The four of us were there for a few hours, and everything we ordered tasted great. The staff were super nice and accommodating, and the place itself is gorgeous. We'll definitely be back! Update: For a few months now myself and a few friends have met once a week at Ground, and have always had a great time. The sandwiches and toasties are delicious, the range of cakes and buns incredible, and the drinks to die for. I personally recommend the Mocha with a slice of Lemon Drizzle cake.

Lovely place with inside and outside seating overlooking the canal. There's also a green area for kids to play!

In Victoria Square shopping centre in the middle of Belfast. Friendly service, plentiful food of the hi-carb (delicious!) variety - and chairs/tables outside! A great place to sit, watch the world go by, and feel contented with life! Recommended!

Coffee is usually good at Ground, this was no exception. Quirky building backing on to the River Bann with some outdoor tables overlooking the river.

This is easily the best Ground Espresso Bar in all of Northern Ireland. The heart and soul of this cafe are found in its location and atmosphere. Located on the edge of The River Bann and under the Bann Bridge, the location creates an atmosphere that you're in your own world. With this, it is the perfect location and atmosphere to catch up with family/friends, to do some study/work, or simply watch the world go by. If you are in the Portadown area, this is a go-to spot!
