Renée F MacDonald

Enjoyed my Everything Bagel and was able to substitute real bacon for coconut bacon which was a fantastic option and glad the cashier offered me the option when I asked for no bacon. I also enjoyed an iced coffee with vanilla and banana bread. All items were appealing and very tasty. Menu had a small amount of options but included vegetarian/vegan and a lot of great options were available for many diets. Cashier and server were friendly and professional. Covid precautions were put in place such as line up markers, sanitizer, contact tracing and restaurant was spacious and appeared clean. Server was seen sanitizing tables. Garden had many beautiful options as well as the store--some really great books, garden accessories and more

Had an awesome experience with Sean & Patricia when buying a tree for my first home! I drive a Hyundai Elantra and the tree I fell in love with didn't fit inside. Patricia called Sean down to see if he could give us a hand and he was amazing! Thanks to him wrapping my tree and fitting it in perfectly (with the help of zip ties keeping my trunk closed without crushing my tree) my beautiful new tree made it home safe and sound. I am so thankful he was there to say "yes, we can do it!" as I was feeling less than hopeful about if we could fit it in or not. Thanks Sean, not only were you helpful but hilarious as well!????

The food un the cafe was amazing. The staff were equally attentive to the needs of us as the customers.

Lucas Gillingham

Absolutely GORGEOUS gem of a Cafe and Garden Centre in one! Has a large selection of outdoor trees and plants which is something hard to come by in St. John's. Generally the stores have indoor plants, or small garden plants. Having the wide selection at this garden centre has brought me back for sure, and is great. Unfortunately, I would say this garden centre is the most expensive one on the Avalon.

noah gallant

Very large selection of healthy plants. However the prices are quite steep compared to many other nurseries in St. John's

Cauliflower bowl ???? food always has great taste, quality and quantity. My two recommendations: 1- Cutlery wasn’t as clean (especially during COVID) 2- Expand coffee options, bring back what you had in the past.

Charlene Carr

Went to The Grounds for lunch where I got a delicious and fresh meal, then walked around the property, enjoying the beautiful plants!

Shannah Rastin

Love the garden centre. The workers are knowledgeable and friendly and they take such good care of the plants. I always check it out after eating at The Grounds Cafe!

Robert Young

Tremendous selection of hanging baskets, beautiful colours, late season discounts.

Jay-Michael Canning

Love how tidy and clean the place is, and the selection of the plants. My wife and I love the Grounds as well. Super Chill place.

Steven Boyd

Had Huevos Ranchero at grounds. it was excellent

Jamie Ross

They've always got an inventive menu, the treats are off the charts good, the ambiance is lovely and the coffee is good, too. Always worth the drive out.

Cindy Maher

Bright, good food, clean, great place to wonder around inside and out (weather permitting)

Donna Pike

I went to buy some trees and arrange for them to be planted, but there was no one to help me - even though I was there over a hour before they were to close. I was invited to come back the next day, but that doesn't work for me. Not a great business strategy.

Silo Rose

Had lunch with family, ordered dessert and paid for it, specific dessert (last one of its kind) I ordered was given to someone else instead.

Deborah Hartery

Excellent selections of plants

Jack

Beautiful garden center, love the outdoors in the back and aesthetically pleasing interior + restaurant.

The grounds restaurant is amazing

Gerard Nash (The Photo Mender)

A solid selection if a bit pricey. The new cafe and local crafts is a welcome addition and worth checking out.

Drake

Nice selection of plants, supplies, and vegetables. Good priced for end of season compared to Sobeys/Coleman's. Staff was helpful in teaching me how to care for the plants I got. And there's a nice selection of good sized vegetables inside the centre at a low cost

John

Went here to deliver about half a load of shrubs plants and trees. Friendly staff got me where I needed to be to unload. Proceeded to unload my trailer in a reasonable time so all was good here for me.

Marie Balodis

The meal was excellent as usual. I love going there with friends and taking my granddaughter as well.

Great place to shop. Great people.

Keith Smith

well established business

Jim MacDonald

On the weekends it is crowded. The cafe has too many people for anyone with COVID concerns . Has a good selection of plants but a little short on check outs.

Konrad Colbourne

Excellence pant selection

Bill Smuk

Lots of items to choose from

Brian Johnston

The folks at Murray's do a great job tending and nurturing the plants and shrubs and usually the selection is unmatched. This time around though, the selection was dismal. Went there looking for herbs and veggies of all kinds to plant in my garden. No rosemary, no thyme, no sage, no oregano, no onions... Perhaps it's the time of year, though with local weather, I can't imagine that they've been overly busy. Perhaps it was a bad growing year for them. In any event, went to Kent (yes really) and found a great selection and quality of everything I needed, supplied by a log organic farm. And it was cheaper than Murray's. Another example of price differential: a Garant weed extractor; $82.00 at Murray's, $39.99 at Kent. Volume is one thing but price gouging is entirely another. Disappointing.

Always delicious food and lovely customer e

Ivy Kendell

Craig Cook

Great product, lots of expertise, and a beautiful coffee shop that has surprisingly excellent prices for the quality of offerings!

Mike B

Great spot to have coffee, enjoy the gardens or the cafe

Craig Brown

There prices are highly over

Eric Healey

I purchased topsoil from Murray's, it was full of rocks, twigs and lumps of mud balls rock hard, they refused to take it back. I removed five full wheelbarrow's of unusable soil from their smallest delivery of soil. I Highly recommend you purchase soil from anyone other than Murray's Garden Center.

Janet Warren

This is our go-to garden centre. It has great selection of plants, trees and shrubs as well as gardening supplies. It also has a lovely cafe offering yummy treats and menu items featuring produce from local farmers.

Danny Reid

Excellent as always...disappointing to not have the QV on tap today though.

Mariam Arshad

Go to spot for dessert and food

Rob Coombs

We really enjoy the coffee and short breakfast and lunch menu selections at the Grounds Cafe and the bright sitting area here.

Marika Pittman

Atmosphere was amazing. What a location! The biscuits were like little clouds floated down from heaven.

Diana Woytiuk

Just happened to stumble on this little gem on our way out to Bell Island for the mine tour. What a find! The food was great, the atmosphere very organic and relaxing, the coffee strong and the baking is to die for!

Tony Price

Cafe has delicious food. Good selection of annuals. Found everything I needed.
