Grounded By CMCR is occupying a part of Yoga Movement and it is above its sister cafe, Common Man Coffee Roaster. Getting to either cafe is not convenient especially for those who don’t drive. The nearest MRT station is still quite a distance away from the cafe. Nonetheless, this shouldn’t deter cafe hoppers to the cafe.
Grounded doesn’t offer much food from the kitchen, only a handful. And do expect healthier option here.
Drinks offering are designed in mind of those practising Yoga in the studio, as such Smoothies ($10) and Coolers ($8) are found on the menu. And since it is a cafe, coffee is never off the menu. Black ($5), White ($5.50), Iced Coffee ($7.50) and even Nitro Cold Brew ($8) are offered.
And I spotted beer ($11) on the menu too.
There are ready to eat food in the chiller with Gluten Free or Vegan options available. Some gluten free food available are Carrot Cake Bircher Muesli ($9) and Beetroot Chocolate Brownie ($8). Vegan items offered are Nit “Sausage” Roll ($8) and Cauliflower and Quinoa Salad ($14).
Beetroot Chocolate Brownie ($8) was so amazing which I totally didn’t expect.
From the kitchen is the other category of food offered at Grounded By CMCR. There are some interesting option. One of which seduce our attention was the Matcha Pancakes ($16). A pity the matcha powder wasn’t well mixed resulting in some section overwhelming while mainly weak.
While Balance Burger ($17) and Avocado Toast ($16) are the recommendations from the service crew.
White, Cappuccino ($5.50) was more than decent.
Alternatively, cafe-hoppers can go for its smoothies such as AvoMango ($10). Flavour was mainly mango with the buttery creamy texture of Avocado. We like the toppings of passionfruit and pomegranate.
NAHMJ Verdict
Grounded By CMCR only has natural breeze. In other words, there is no air-con.
Space was lovely with instagramable spots which is going to lure cafe-hoppers. And personally, I thought it is a good space for some me time too.
