High Grounds Café

Nothing outstanding, parking can be full, and very pricey food (but not so special food). Somewhat rude waiters.

Our experience was quite far from the review and the price tag. Transphobic attitude, pancakes unavailability way too much vinegar in the salad, paid wifi (? Really) and a few others issues make the premium tag not deserved:/

It was an ordeal, is how I would put it! From the parking to get the final bill it was a struggle. The valet attendant in the parking lot, was insistent on getting the keys to the car, inspite of there being an empty slot (near the entrance) for parking. When i asked why, he said, since there were people ahead of me, (whose cars were already properly parked), they would move those cars to that place. I said that makes no sense, why don't I just park there, since the number of cars that were double parked would be the same anyway. He kept on insisting, saying the other guest were "prius", (took me a while to figure he meant previous). I said, what will happen is that you'll just keep moving cars around. And wasting gas, but he was insistent, so I left the keys, went in and had the manager (Lance?), come to talk to the guy. He then kept on repeating "prius", and even went so far as to say, they were trying to save gas for the "prius" customer. (huh?).
By moving cars around? (one can't help bit think they just wanted to play around with the cars. Or worse. To his credit the manager, saw the lack of logic and talked to the guy in the lot.
Getting the bill: we were a table of 13. I had instructed in advance to have a separate bill, since i have a senior discount. Upon presentation of the bill i had given my I. D.and credit card for my payment, and the others were computing their individual shares (about 15 mins). They then gave the money to the waiters (who weren't attnetive by the way). I was curiious regarding the lenght of time it was taking for my card to come, so I went to the counter. As I got there I saw my I. D, card on the bottom of the heap, and another waitress just putting bills on top of it. (apparently, they haven't heard of first in, first out.), So i talked to the cashier, and she got my bi from the bottom (bt this time 25 mins had passed), and gave a 13 pesos discount for my bill of approx 750 php! I asked why, and she said because of sharing. Biting down an acidic retort, i pointed out that i had already asked for a separate bill before anything else, and everyone in our party had their own orders. It was after this, that she recomputed.
The whole dinning experience was just a horrible ordeal. From the parki g to the bill.
Food was above average, bit not worth the stupidity/ lack of common sense of the staff. Dine at your own risk. This place has been opened for some time, and this ko d of problems, should have been ironed out a long time ago. Definitely, NOT a place i would recommend!

Serving breakfast is very very disappointing. We waited for more than 30 mins just to know they didn't place our orders, to think there were only 2 tables dine-in that time. So insensitive staffs, they even didn't check their kitchen for pending orders because we're justing waiting there.
DON'T SERVE BREAKFAST IF YOU CAN'T DO IT.

It's okay, but quite crowded. The prices of the food are high, which is acceptable; HOWEVER, I expect the prices to match the overall appearance and atmosphere of the place. Unfortunately, the glass structures are not even well cleaned, and the open kitchen can be bothersome, especially with people working nearby.

On the positive side, the service is fast, and the servers are friendly, but the ambiance is merely average. I hope they consider renovating the interior to create a more appealing atmosphere, especially considering the relatively high prices they charge for their food. Additionally, the coffee could use some improvement.

I hope this place set its own branding of what they're trying be. Outside of this Cafe has a lot of people drinking/smoking.inside are children/family/friends who are working, having their coffee, inner part of the cafe are teenagers/people who rents the computer, then there goes this bar at the side with wines/espresso machine. It's like an all in one randomness in one place.

Ganda ng lugar kaso may discrimination sa parking.may parking area kaso kahit naka big bike gusto nila sa sidewalk ka lang mag park.my bike is not worth risking for your coffee! BIKERS BEWARE

I loved this place, went here literslli a week strait to study till they tried to feed me a salad with a tick in it. Other foods alright. Just watch what you eat I guess.

Stay here if you want to eat, not if you want to play videogames. Food is really good although a bit pricey. The ambiance is nice and calm and the service is top notch, though the downfall they have are the pc's, I had to go through 3 different pc's to find one that wasn't that super laggy. Valorant (on low visual settings) had massive frame drops, Fortnite (on performance mode) had serious lag + packetloss issues but League of Legends (on medium settings) ran pretty well. Should be advertised more that you should bring your own headset and mouse pad aswell (because they wont give you any).

Place is good for Esports events with their high end computers and event area.though restaurant staff are complacent and lacks awareness.takes a while for them to cater to orders.

4 of us wanted to play beside each other but the 1st flr's full and only have 2 vacant battlestations. We told the employee that we wanted to play on thr 2nd floor but hell yea he "nicely" told us that the battlestations on the 2nd flrs are for group. We're 4 I said and he said to just wait for 2 more on the first floor. The place is great we just did not like how we were treated.

The place is open 24/7, but the menus available will depend on what time you are there. For the breakfast menu, it's available from 6am till 11am. The lunch or dinner menu is available 11am onwards. Parking is not a problem. Besides the store front parking and street parking, they have their own parking lot. Got there 8am for breakfast. The guard let me park right in front of the store because I had a senior citizen with me.
No complaints with the food, taste wise. But there will be some hits and misses. I ordered the continental breakfast, sausage, bacon and ham with pancakes and if you look at my photo, you will notice something missing. I told the wait staff and they were apologetic and had the kitchen cough out the missing ham. Another problem was the stack of pancakes because the second one was undercooked, as in it looked like there was custard filling in it. Again, I called the wait staff's attention and they took it back to the kitchen to be cooked further. The other food we ordered were great though. The garlic rice was tasty and not oily. The beef was tender and flavorful. I would've even praised the ginormous pancakes had it been cooked thoroughly.
The wait staff were very accommodating, friendly and attentive. The place was spacious and clean, but I would've preferred sitting on a normal dining table instead of the sofa and coffee table. They were big and comfy but it kinda squished my tummy which prevented me from wolfing down my food.
Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back and trying more items from the menu and I suspect I will.

We always go here to play at TNC. Food can be served right in front of your PC. The staff are all accommodating. However I just find their food overpriced.

Mostly western food with an internet cafe inside. The portions were surprisingly huge. Great for big groups. Service could improve, as the staff were not as accommodating and we have to follow up thrice for our bill. But would definitely come back as the food was great for its price.

With GTX1060 3GB (60/hr), you can play Valorant, Dota2 or LoL just about fine, however in my opinion as an avid gamer who enjoys playing newer and more modern games (like Farlight84), this specifications are really out of date and would not choose to pay more just to use a desktop equip with GTX1080 (according to my brother). Food? Pricey but worth every penny. If you're a food lover is a must place to visit. I'm planning to go back just to try the other dishes.

The place is great. Clean and cozy. The price for the food is a bit expensive, but I can say it's fair because they provide big servings. For the gaming area, it is spacious and clean. The hourly-rate of pc rental is 60 pesos, but they have promos that you can avail easily. The only thing I am not really okay with is the sound quality of the headphones (maybe I am just used to the other headphones of other TNC) in which it's really important for FPS gaming. All in all, great place for gaming and great place to eat with your friends/family.

Their cheesecake is a delight. So creamy and not over the top sweet. Also ordered their strawberry cookie drink and it was worth it too. I just don't like that it's too noisy there. Not somewhere one can actually relax.

If you're looking for a cafe where you can stay the entire day and won't feel cramped, and you're in the QC area, this is a good place to go. Food is good. Spacious with multiple couches available for those looking to lounge around the cafe for hours. It gives a homey vibe and the servers are very friendly.

Comfortable place to hang out with friends. Good food but a bit pricey. Great computers for network gaming, but confusing system setup.

Food was great! Especially their marinara pasta. Went there because of a business, but crowd was trendy and there's an outside tables for drinking and smoking. Will comeback soon and try their coffee offerings.

Very cozy and the food selections are great. Im a pasta lover so when I say that their marinara is good, its really good! Never had a chance to try their coffee because I was really craving for something to eat so I will try it next time.
