A cafe that takes great pride in everything it does, from food, to service, to decor, creates an unforgettable dining experience for its customers. And one such example of a cafe that promises a memorable experience is Group Therapy Coffee Cafe.
Group Therapy Coffee Cafe is a little different than your average cafe, with its quirky decor, hand-crafted art pieces that are available for sale, mismatched furniture and rustic look. Group Therapy Coffee Cafe creates an impression the minute you climb the stairs to its location on the second story, with its scoop for a door handle! They also offer books and magazines for browsing, and various curios and trinkets for sale. Quirky, artsy, and rustic look all in one.
Happy and motivated staff often provide better service, and the staff at Group Therapy Coffee Cafe seem to enjoy working here. The majority are part-timers who are still studying. I must commend them for their friendliness and attentiveness, as well as the fact that they're juggling both work and studies, which is never and easy thing. One waitress shared that she was going through her examinations, but still wanted to come to work... I applaud your spirit!
Good food is worth waiting for. Because a lot of the food at Group Therapy Coffee Cafe is made fresh upon order, and also hand-made, waiting time is slightly longer than average, but worth every minute. Overall, the food is very delicious and packs a lot of flavour, though some items are on a rotating menu which changes regularly. This makes repeat visits to Group Therapy Coffee Cafe fresh and something to look forward too! I highly recommend paying Group Therapy Coffee Cafe a visit!

The cafe doubles as an art gallery of sorts, and various pieces are available for sale. Creative recycling such as used egg cartons double as sugar holders, while metal tins are used as table numbers.

The Honey BBQ Ribs With Creamy Potato Mash had tender, well-marinated, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs. Absolutely delicious and addictive, and the sweet tangy barbeque sauce added a nice touch of flavour. The Creamy Potato Mash is hand-made, and excellent as well. I'm so sad that it's on the rotating menu!!! Please bring this back more often!!!

The Truffled Ravioli features a generous portion of hand-made pasta, in a fresh hand-made tomato sauce, with drops of truffle oil. An excellent example of a chef taking pride in their food, and I highly recommend this!

The quintessential British dish, the Chicken & Mushroom Pie is a large pie, stuffed full of tasty and savoury chunks of chicken and mushrooms. It has very little filler or starch, and the crust is nice and buttery. A minor complaint is that some of the pieces of chicken were starting to get a little dry, and a little more sauce would have been good. But overall, a very good example of how a British pie should be like.

This cafe is known for its quality coffee, and both the Mocha and Latte lived up to expectations. Good choice for a cuppa if you love coffee! I also loved the Mint Hot Chocolate, with its thick and rich texture, and refreshing minty taste.

A spin on the classic American BLT Sandwich, or Bacon Lettuce Tomato Sandwich, with a freshly baked, flaky and buttery croissant replacing the sandwich bread. The BLT Croissant Plate also features perfectly grilled and lean back bacon, fresh crisp lettuce, and young nearly green tomatoes, which complement each other. The dish is rounded out with 2 sunny side up eggs sprinkled with a dash of black pepper for a slightly spicy kick, fresh salad, and a meaty bratwurst. The bratwurst didn't sit quite well with me though, I thought it could have been grilled slightly longer.
