Grounded At Echo - Pretoria

Oh my goodness, this Benedict breakfast is absolutely incredible (I added avocado)! And that latte? Wow! It's a perfect combination—just go for it! So delicious! My waiter Leonard was also really great; he even wore a bow tie to work! #classy

Absolutely delicious food. They put twists on traditional dishes that enhances the taste.Found out today that they do a harvest table (see pic of today's) every week day from 12pm.Delicious

So.. yesterday Mother craved her favorite carrot cake..<br/ We took the drive to the Moot. Stopped by at a good veggie shop, got some seedlings all on the way to Grounded Echo. It is great what 's happening in the suburb an almost little Woodstock vibe 'in die middel van Pretoria '.<br/ <br/ A month or so ago I went there to get the highly recommendable individual koeksister cheesecakes as take aways for a function only lemon ones were available . Not half as good as the koeksister one 's! Thus, I was holding my breath for mom 's expectation for carrot cake. <br/ <br/ Every time I walk in there, the vibe surprises me. There 's this energy of any City Bowl 'get your coffee in a hurry or a slow ' trendy outlet. The mom 's and their tots, the few slightly geriatric clientele (oh my word, is this politically correct? and the hipster students (most probably from the Tuks Medical campus all brings together what I may call Afrikaans towards cosmopolitan. <br/ <br/ Service as always very good, friendly and efficient. Products always fresh. We had our favorite Grounded coffee highly recommended. Mom had her carrot cake. It is indeed the best in town. It 's dense, moist, equally nutty and fruity and 'vegetably ' and has the perfect balance in terms of icing. <br/ <br/ What has always impressed me at Grounded is their options for the healthy eater. There 's options to upgrade any menu item to gluten free; banting friendly; low or zero sugar and they also have milk alternatives. It is a lovely, creative menu. <br/ <br/ In short, one of the best bakeries in town. One of the most thoughtful menu 's for healthy eaters or eaters suffering from allergies. Lots of creative energy. Alive the vibe. Street front charm.<br/ <br/ Ps: I could not resist taking something home. It was between banting rusk and ginger cookies. The latter won! They are little little mini cookies the cutest things on earth! Portion wisdom thank you Grounded!<br/ <br/ Ps ps: check out their online shop.

Thank you Grounded at Echo. One of the best sarmies I've had in a while! The vegan kickboxer was an absolute treat and the Moot BLT looked just as good. Our waiter, Kate, was professional, kind-spirited and took really good care of us. A grounded well-rounded experience. Nothing pretentious about this hidden gem and a definite addition to any foodies bucket list!

If you’ve never been there, you might easily overlook it while crossing the street, but once you step inside, the atmosphere is completely different. We settled at a window table, ordered the Banting breakfast, and just had to snap a few photos for Instagram. The food was delicious, and while my coffee was decent (beware if you prefer it strong, you’ll definitely get that here). It’s a lovely spot—affordable, aesthetically pleasing, and a place I would definitely visit again! (P.S. I lost my photos, but I assure you, it was beautiful!)
