Tucked inside the ever-bustling Cimarron Plaza, The Grove Brunch Café feels like the kind of place that gets brunch on a higher level -- equal parts aesthetic, intentional, and flavorful. I stopped by post-workout and ordered a to-go meal, but couldn't resist starting with their Butterfly Tea Latte (unsweetened). It's visually stunning -- a dreamy bluish-violet hue that looks almost too pretty to sip -- and surprisingly balanced, earthy, and light. Think matcha's sophisticated cousin with antioxidant flair. I also tried the Healthy Asian Salad, and let's just say it truly lives up to its name -- maybe too much. I'm a self-proclaimed health junkie, but this one felt like foraging directly from the sea. Gigantic leafy greens, earthy mushrooms, some kind of seaweed situation... it was fresh, yes, but I found myself feeling like I was eating straight out of the ocean. Admirably wholesome, just not my jam. Next time, I've got my eye on their vegan bowl, which looks much more my speed. The menu overall is impressively expansive, thoughtfully inclusive of vegan and vegetarian options, and brimming with what I'd call "elevated casual" plates. My waitress was fantastic -- warm, attentive, and effortlessly cool -- matching the vibey energy of the space itself. The interior is chic yet inviting, with indoor and outdoor seating perfect for El Paso's sunny brunch culture. If there's one thing that surprises me, it's the hours. For such a popular, food-forward plaza, closing at 4 p.m. feels almost criminal -- those folks with 9-to-5s can only dream of a late-day Grove fix. Still, when you do catch them open, it's a genuinely delightful spot that makes brunch feel intentional rather than routine.
This review has been suiting in my drafts. My visit was October 29, 2019. Yep. Still have the photos on my phone. Wait to be seated. Inside or out. Communal seating at bar and square table by bar behind hostess station. Entire menu served all day. Always a plus! Cold syrup. Powdered sugar from Korea so not as sweet. Owners are Korean. Next to Keg and a brew. Limited parking in front.
There's a time and place for everything. On a busy Saturday lunch hour, is not the time to be dancing behind the bar with your coworkers and ignoring your customers. I walked in and since I'm a single person, I want to go to the bar. I sat there watching the bartender just mosey around and at first, was completely ignoring my presence. "Am I invisible?!" No greeting, no acknowledging, just a sloppy leisure walk and she had no care to be at work. Eventually she approached and asked if I'd like something to drink...(what gave you that idea, I'm sitting at the bar?) Well, I'd been sitting there for almost 10 minutes, so I wanted to try their Bloody Mary (the one with the meat and cheese skewer). She never explained there were two different ones or even gave me an option. I would've spent the $15+ on the other, but I guess that would've been too much work for her. Another 10-15 minutes go by and she asked if I'd like something food. Sure, I guess I'd built up an appetite watching the staff do nothing but gossip behind the bar. I ended up ordering the Crab Cake Benedict. After another 5-10 minutes pass, she comes back and states they're out of their house potatoes. (Of course) So I substitute for sweet potato fries, and since I have made it this far with my first time not so great experience at this establishment, and I am determined to not come back. (In the meantime, she'd also forgot about the couple sitting next to me the remainder of their order after they were almost done.) Long story short, I was not impressed with quantity of food and quality of service. For such a nice establishment, they need to do better!
My wife and I came in on a Sunday afternoon around 2 PM to take advantage of the brunch menu and celebrate a family birthday. We called earlier that morning to make a reservation for our large party of 9, which I highly recommend. The seating inside the restaurant is limited, specifically for large parties. The time we went was super busy and we ended up being sat outside in their patio seating. The patio seating isn't bad, however it was very windy that day, and the wind was catching certain parts of our table, making it uncomfortable to eat. Of course this isn't the restaurant's fault or anything, but it affected our experience nonetheless. Our server was mostly attentive, although there were numerous occasions that we had to go looking for him to ask for something--refills, silverware, etc. He did okay, but could have been better. Food-wise I'll stick with reviewing what I ordered--I decided to go with the "Brunch Burger:" a burger with house-made bacon jam, fresh arugula, Dijon mustard, havarti cheese, and an egg. It came with a side of fries. My burger was just okay. Nothing special. I ordered it medium, but it came out more med-well to borderline well done, but I wasn't going to send it back and wait more. The combination of the other ingredients was fine, but again, it wasn't amazing or anything. Fries were crisp. Overall our visit was okay, I would probably order something different the next time around if we came back!
Server was nice , I did feel like the tables were a bit close together but it was nice and busy for a Saturday! I had the sweet potato pancakes and they were nice and not overly vegetabley. And the side of potatoes were a bit salty and seasoned well, kind of greasy towards the bottom. My friend liked her skillet with steak, next time I would want to try the drinks and pastries.
Well, one year later, we hope this place would have improved. When this place first opened, the food was amazing, however, its been consistently pretty bad. The omelette was super salty and greasy. The steak in the salad was overcooked. The server was very nice, however nonexistent. She came over at the beginning and completely interrupted our conversation. We asked for the music to be turned down slightly so we could hear each other because it sounded like we were in a nightclub. Mind you this was at 12 noon on a weekday. Don't get me wrong, I love to play loud music and dance and go to clubs, however, this is not the time or the place. Loud music seems to be a reoccurring issue in El Paso restaurants. I'd like to add that we waited about half an hour for the food to come out and only two out of the four plates came out so part of our party got to eat their food first, which is very rude. Somebody needs to let servers there know that serving all the people at the table at the same time is good etiquette. How do you get a job at a restaurant without knowing this? Do the managers train the staff? From my experience the quieter, the restaurant, the more elegant, and classier the establishment. This place needs new cooks, possibly with some cooking experience. This is a reason why we don't go out to eat anymore. Unless we see some improvements in the restaurants around us, it's just not worth it to go out anymore. Why go to a loud restaurant where you can't even talk to the people you want to catch up with? If you want to go to a club go at night. If you want to drink go to a bar.
The Bailey's French toast was so yummy. The house coffee was a bit weak, but otherwise it was a solid breakfast all around.
This is for today only and their limited time turkey havarti sandwich on "homemade" ciabatta...aka a thick dry biscuit. Very little turkey. Huge chunk of dry bread. Do not recommend. It looks nothing like the picture. It was awful and I'm kicking myself for not sending it back. $17 wasted. Good thing it's a limited time. I'll stick to my tried and true favs and not try anything new because most times they hit it out of the park. Still hoping someone will take the advice of taking the nasty air freshener out of the bathrooms. It's toxic and overwhelming.
Food was good. Huevos rancheros did not look as I had expected. They were drowned in red salsa. Looked more like huevos montados but they were good. Good flavor and I ate it all. Friend had the border burger and she said it was delicious. Strawberry mojito was so refreshing and perfectly sweet. Friend had a flavored margarita and she was also very happy with her drink. Unfortunately, service was not good. We absolutely would have ordered another round but we sat with empty drinks and empty water for quite some time. Even after I asked for water, it was some time before she came back with it. Service really disappointed us. We were excited abt meeting for brunch and it wasn't the experience that it could have been.
Consistently good brunch locale. Whether we come for pastries or full breakfast, Grove - West is has been a hit every time. You can sit indoors or outdoors. The outside seating has been improved with misters. For Noah's birthday brunch, we came and I tried a ribeye sandwich that came with a garlic parmesan fries. It was an ample supply of food...and it was very good. Liz went with the usual, chipotle chilaquiles. 'Em had a croissant sandwich that came with country potatoes. She did not stop to share her order...she makes me laugh. Noah went with a birthday chicken and waffles. The service was attentive and she kept the coffee flowing. I have plenty of menu items to try, but so far so very good. read more

Love this place . I force my friends to come at least once a week twice if I'm lucky . Service is great Alani was great today . MY food is always great but I'd say poached eggs don't get poached timing is off so everything Benedict is nearly a hard boiled egg and the ceviche tostadas my goodness nothing ceviche about that promotion 2-3 boiled shrimp on a sauce and a pinch of pico de gallo with lots of lettuce looks nothing like the picture BUT everything else has been awesome still love it there but dragging my friends there and them being disappointed with validity makes it harder for me to bring them for repeats Love the grove read more

Ambiance was good, service was great. It was just the food that was lackluster. A bit on the pricier side for the quality of food. Omelette had an off taste, couldn't tell why until I realized it had olives. Probably on me for not noticing that listed on the menu, but I had never seen olives as part of an omelette before. read more

My friend and coworker recommended this place so of course I had to try it! I had wanted to order the Shakshuka but they don't have that item on their menu anymore :( If you are looking for this the place next door has it! Instead I ordered a veggie omelet/scramble with salad in lieu of breakfast sides. It came with a meager sampling of avocado on top and was pretty standard as far as eggs go. There was a 20 minute wait upon arrival but once seated service was quick and water was refilled promptly whenever glasses were empty. Parking was hard to find in this shopping center and there was little shade to be found! read more

I have been here a few times, but it has been a while. But after coming here two days in a row, I have a better appreciation for the restaurant. The food is really good. You have so much to choose from. They have sandwiches, pizza, brunch meals, shareables, and chef specials. It is a lot to go over everything. But I have tried the chicken and waffles, shrimp tacos, and one of the burgers, and they were all good. They have indoor and outdoor seating, so there are plenty of seats available. read more
Visited this place after a cycle bar class and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Sierra, our waitress, was so friendly, kind, and gave us top notch service. She is 10/10! The ambiance is definitely brunch desert and a cute place to enjoy with a date, friends, or family. Order: Bruschetta Trio - $19 - So delicious and made a great appetizer to share. Only recommendation is to pre-cut them before it gets to the table. The flavor combo was so so good and fresh and flavorful. Baja Fish Tacos - $17.25 - The tacos tasted fresh, a hint of spice, and the crunch of the fish is so good. I liked how filling yet light it tasted. Tiramisu - $8.50 - A must try! The ladyfingers kept their integrity while providing a good profile for just the right amount of sweetness. I would recommend doing shavings of dark chocolate on top to break up the smoothness but other than that, it is tasty! read more

Chilaquiles verdes... I'm going to be honest... they looked beautiful however, they were a bit dry. Sauce was ok but just can't get over that dryness. The ambient was good for Sunday morning brunch chisme I will be going back to this place to try something else! For what it's worth... I'm a harsh critic of "Mexican food" so I guess I was expecting your typical chilaquiles con mucha salsa! The service was great! Our food came out fast and our waiter was awesome! Oh I forgot... caramel latte was the bomb! You have to drink it fast though... it gets cold read more

I live on the north east side and I have to say, the Chilaquiles is hands down better on the West side location. There's no comparison. The skirt steak is flavored and cooked 10x better than the North East location. In fact, this is the best skirt steak I've ever had, ever. Maybe it was a fluke day, but even my wife was amazed by it. Even the fried egg was cooked to perfection, oozing gently over the green sauce seasoned tortilla chips. Superb dish. The northeast chilaquiles are nowhere near this good. read more

Had a great evening dinner at the grove tonight. The atmosphere is very relaxed and they have plenty of seating. Any other time I've been here earlier in the day they are packed but I don't think evenings are as bad. The food came out very quickly and was delicious. We ended up being here during happy hour so some of our drinks were half off. I totally recommend this place to get a new twist on some Classic dishes. read more

Had brunch here on a late Sunday afternoon. We were seated outside right away - which I'd recommend over inside because it's quieter and there are heaters in the wintertime so it was a pleasant experience. I tried a few dishes & everything was excellent. The menu is huge, plenty of veggie options & overall a fantastic place to get brunch with friends. I'll be back! read more
