The Groove Train - Southland - Kingston

Very lovely, friendly, accommodating staff – we felt very welcome.<br/ <br/ I ordered Loaded Potato Gems from the Degani app, but they said their store didn't have that particular item on the menu. They asked what I'd like instead, and I asked if they could prepare loaded chips instead. They accommodated my requests and the lovely chef made the most perfect loaded fries I've had – generous serving size; perfectly fresh, crispy chips; loads of bacon, cheese, and BBQ/aoili sauce – and all served piping hot.<br/ <br/ My friend ordered the Seasoned Wedges, which were also generously sized, and served steaming hot with sides of sour cream and sweet chili sauce.<br/ <br/ We will definitely be back!

Don't expect some wanky hipster deconstructed fancy nonsense here, but you can expect plain and simple food for a very reasonable price. I got the veggie breakfast and bae got the muesli. My breakfast was lovely; delicious mushrooms and perfectly poached eggs. Bae really enjoyed the muesli, although it wasn't served with enough milk, so it got a bit dry and we had to ask for more. Ordered a soy latte, ended up with a cappuccino so doesn't seem like the barista knows what they're doing. Staff member that served us seemed new to customer service; wasn't rude, but also wasn't pleasant no smiles or anything? Other members were lovely as I saw them interact with customers and when I went back to ask for more milk. 4 rating because the food is well priced for size and how much you get.

We visit regularly for their nice coffee and tasty biscuits and cakes. We popped in recently for brunch, and while I wasn't expected much, I was pleasantly surprised. It's not fancy, but it offers good value and the food, while basic and with average quality ingredients, is well cooked. There's quite a large seating area too.

Quality hearty and good portioned food at reasonable prices pretty much sums up what we hadOrdered the egg plant chips and calamari as entree ..

So, I was surprised to find that this outlet wasn't listed on Yelp, as I couldn't wait to write a review.
