Most chain coffee places these days are cookie cutter copies of each other with no real variation…read morein faire or facilities and this is the same for Ground. This is a double edged sword, it means that you often loose out on the ambience, great service and high quality coffee that you get from independent places that only they can provide when done right. On the other hand it also pretty much guarantees that you're going to have a coffee shop experience of a high enough, (if not unique and characterful) quality. So I find that once you've been in one chain, you've really been in them all more or less. Ground I find a good chain and this one is no different, so the only thing that differentiates for me is the staff as the food and coffee are uniform. This one I'm happy to say has on my visits, nice staff that were pleasant and welcoming. So if you know what to expect and generally like the chain coffee shop experience, then you should like it here.

A little Diamond in the rough this place. I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised…read moreby it. The range of food was decent enough and although there wasn't a great deal of stuff to surprise and delight the true foodie with 'out there' choices it had all the traditional crowd pleasers and it does them very well. The staff are nice, chatty and friendly and you never seem to be putting them out by being there as you feel in some places. The café is clean and tidy as well as feel cosy and bright. The coffee machine is a proper espresso maker however I was initially worried when I saw the lady take out a kind of tea bag thing and but it in the espresso basket, the pre-prepared 'Nespresso' type thins aren't usually great, and although it hardly constituted the best quality of coffee I've ever had it was far from bad. All this and the prices are decent too. The only thing was like many people nowadays I like to sit and read the news, catch up on Facebook, check Yelp for the place I'm in when I'm in cafes and the phone signal in the centre of Magherafelt isn't great, as there is no Wi-Fi available, you are kind of stuck.
