Best Lunch in Aldgate East: A Visit to Grounded

Discovering Local Eats in Aldgate East

Curious where our Aldgate East members love to grab a bite? This week, our Runway East site manager, Danica, went on a lunchtime adventure to check out a top pick from OpenSesame’s secret stash of favourite eateries. Read on to find out about Danica’s lunchtime adventure.

A Visit to Grounded, Aldgate East

Just a short stroll away, Grounded offers a cosy and welcoming setting where fresh coffee, hearty dishes, and a relaxed atmosphere come together, making it a great spot to grab lunch, unwind between meetings, or catch up with a colleague.

What’s on the Menu?

With rich, velvety coffee, warm pastries, and wholesome, flavour-packed dishes, Grounded is a delight for any midday stop. The sandwiches are generously filled with fresh, seasonal ingredients, the salads are crisp and bursting with colour, and the cakes are baked to perfection.

I tried the Veggie Breakfast, which came with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, and perfectly cooked eggs. Each element had its own depth of flavour, from the potatoes that were crisp on the outside and fluffy inside to the vegetables that were charred just the right amount. Paired with a creamy coconut latte and a refreshing green smoothie, it was exactly what I needed.

A Spot Loved by Locals

I took a break from the office rush for a solo brunch at Grounded, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s easy to see why locals keep coming back.

Whether it’s for a hearty brunch, a refreshing green smoothie, or a relaxed coffee catch-up, Grounded is a bright, welcoming spot just minutes away from Runway East, Aldgate East.
