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.

I found out about Lost & Found on Instagram, though I couldn't tell you how anymore. When I was…read moreplanning my trip to Northern Ireland, I knew it was a must visit just because of their Insta aesthetic, which sounds so millennial, but I wasn't wrong! Lost & Found was my final stop on a day trip from Belfast to Bushmills to Carrick-a-Rede and then to Coleraine for a Friday night pizza here. Fridays are the only days they do Pizza and if you're around Coleraine or can get yourself there, just go. You won't regret it. Reservations are required and easy to make on their website, and upon arrival we were seated right away. My friend and I both ordered a pizza and neither of us were disappointed. In fact, the only disappointing thing about the experience was knowing that we had to leave Coleraine and come home to New York. The staff were warm, friendly, and so, so welcoming and the pizza was outstanding. If you're in Ireland (North or South) or traveling through this wonderful country, do yourself a favor and make this a spot that you get to, even if it's out of your way. Months later I still dream of going back here.

Awesome place. Like…read moreEstablished coffee in Belfast. Though with more space and seating. Hipster hub of the North. Lol Lovely food. I had carrot and honey soup for £4 with bread. Friend had a fancy sausage bap that was also lush. Lots of desert choices. Staff are also nice.

This really is a 'secret' garden…read more My sister and I were seeking a venue for a little treat and she recommended we try here. Afternoon tea without the ridiculous price - perfect. At £24 for two this really is a steal. Sandwiches of your choice, scones (with the usual accompaniments) and some yummy traybakes. This is more like non pretentious, Northern Irish style afternoon tea. With the tray bakes including mini fifteens and malteaser squares. If you are looking for something cutesy, scrumptious and not breaking the bank then look no further! Will definitely be back. Don't forget to check out the gift shop for some trinkets and the perfect gifts for mums.

Well what can I say my mum took me out for lunch to this place over Easter week and I was a bit…read moresceptical. Tea rooms attached to a garden centre, tend not to have the most out there reputation. I'm glad to say my scepticism was blown out of the water. This place is definitely a little gem of Belfast. The actual tea rooms/restaurant are an elegantly appointed building with stunning views of the countryside. You feel like you are in the great hall of some stately Victorian home. Sumptuous décor and a varied and delicious sounding menu. As we were there during the week we availed of the two courses for £9.99 (I think that was the price so apologies if I got this wrong, my mum was paying) We both ordered the soup for starter, Butternut Squash, chilli and coconut. Very tasty and a huge portion, I couldn't finish mine because I wanted to leave room for the main. My mother ordered slow cooked beef brisket, Mash and roast root veg while I had the smoked haddock, creamy bacon and leek sauce and the same sides. I cannot fault the food, it was delicious. My only tipple would have been that a selection of different sides for the fish may have been a little better, Maybe some samphire and potato croquets or some such. We also caught a glimpse of their cram tea on another table which looked stunning (I think the Waitress said it was £20/25 per head) Overall an amazing place for lunch, but it doesn't end there. They also offer a dinner menu Thursday to Saturday and it is BYO so definitely cannot be doing wrong there. I highly recommend this place for lunch or for dinner! If you go for dinner though I think you have to book as this place is making its mark on the map and seems to be getting ever more popular!

This place is nice enough. It's going for the higher end market quite clearly and that is sort of…read morethe problem here. It charges the prices to match. This would be ok but it is the sort of place you'd like to pop in to for a coffee and bite at lunch time. Here that's going to cost you close to or maybe even more than £10 by the time you get a coffee, main lunch (sandwich or sarnie/soup deal) and maybe a little something sweet for desert. To be fair I have to say the coffee although not exceptional is above average, and I think I'd say the same about the food. So that's my problem really, yeah it's very much dead on, but the prices just don't tally with me with what's on offer.
