What a lovely cafe right beside the River, after a bracing walk along the Riverside, Ground Coffee Cafe was a welcome retreat with an excellent selection of hot and cold food and wonderful coffee (tea also available!) Will be back!

My wife and I called into to this little cafe May day 2023 whilst out for a run on our motorcycle.The staff are friendly and the food is delicious at extremely low prices. Vegetarian options if desired. The seating area outside looks over the River Bann which offers a walk along side the river. This cafe is a gem and a must if you're visiting Portadown. 5 stars. Ps The cakes are beautiful!

The building was originally a pump house for pumping sewage across the river. Built in 1929. As a coffee house it’s a bit tight for space inside but good space outside looking over the river bann. Typical ‘Ground’ menu with good selection of sandwiches and traybake so shouldn’t be any surprises if you know the franchise. Works well as a stopover for walkers and cyclists.

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.

Lovely food great coffee excellent service And the seating outside in the sunshine made it even better with lovely view plenty of seating inside too.

Got food poisoning from a bacon bap while out cycling on 20th July. Caused me to vomit on the side of the road 60 miles from home.

When it first opened, chemical and v60's were offered and the staff knew their coffee's offering speciality beans too. Now the level of knowledge appears to be Americano with varying degrees of milk added. Asked for a v60 and was told they ever done such a thing, asked for a filter coffee and the response was "we do americano". Coffee is still nice and the eats are grand too but it's not what it used to be.

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.

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!

Friendly, professional efficient staff. Great decor in lovely restored pump house overlooking the bann. Clean and well maintained. Accessible parking and toilet. Food and coffee are grand: similar quality to most small or medium sized chains decent quality but nothing too exciting.

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.

Great view on the river

I went here for the 1st time & the coffee was lovely .great outdoor space & a nice view of the river Bann. Service was good & I have yet to try their food on offer hence no stars re: food. Highly recommended

Coffee ok although I asked for semi skimmed and was given full fat! The gluten free lemon cake is nice although no savoury gluten free options unfortunately. Staff not the most friendly.

I've been going here few years now and always get a nice welcome very friendly staff that care unlike cafe nero and places like that staff at ground take time to help and remember your name.

Visit ground Portadown often very polite staff very clean and professional at there jobs. Elle and Ethan some of the nicest staff I’ve meet always working hard to make every customer feel welcome and always smiling couldn’t think of a better coffee shop to visit

It doesn't go unnoticed when staff choose the big sandwich for you (big shout out to Ellie) Very friendly and chatty like every coffee shop should be. Great atmosphere.

Such a wee hidden gem. Had a lovely lunch there. The food was delicious and the tray bakes should come with a health warning, they were absolutely gorgeous and a really generous size.👍👍 Reasonably priced food and the staff were so pleasant and accommodating In the words of Arnie.." I'll be back !!!!"

Good selection of food and they make a great coffee but the best thing is the friendly staff great service

Coffee is good, 7/10. All food prepared like a lot of places so you can’t get much without cheese 🥴. Diary free is not an option. Pastry’s good. Lovely place on a sunny day with outside seating. Not the most pristine spot though on this occasion.

Coffee & muffin. All good. More select seating outside would be good ..but probably adequate in the main .its a popular place.!

Great location by the river and I was able to sit outside on the terrace even on a chilly March day. Friendly staff. Menu is limited but I highly recommend the salted caramel brownies.
