Privilee Member, Megan, from @JustTwoMums shares why Common Grounds is an excellent spot for both kids and adults..
Privilee has been busy adding loads of fab restaurants to its ever-growing list of venues, and Common Grounds is one of our new family favourites! They have three locations where Privilee Members can save 15%; Mall of the Emirates and JBR.
Delicious food
Common Grounds offer an all-day breakfast which is ideal for young families. Mum and Dad can enjoy a late breakfast while the kids who usually eat earlier can order lunch.
My husband and I ordered from the all-day breakfast menu, which has a huge amount of options - from French Toast to Turkish Eggs! I opted for the Kale & Mushroom Scramble, which featured roasted mushrooms, kale and feta cheese on toasted sourdough, alongside a flat white - delicious! The food was served piping hot and the portion size was great. My husband went for the Smoked Salmon Benedict, which included poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and spinach on a toasted English muffin. He said it was lovely and the salmon was super fresh. He also tried one of their smoothies - “Bells Beach” - and said it was one of the nicest he’s had! It was a mix of mango, banana and pineapple - super refreshing and perfect for summer. I tried a bit and was a fan too.
Kids’ options
Common Grounds don’t offer a specific kids’ menu, however, there are loads of dishes they can order to share, and also some sides which go down a treat - which is what we did for our girls. It was lunchtime for them, so they wanted to try the Tom & Serg Burger - a classic burger with fries! They ate this between the two of them and in addition had the Mixed Berries and Greek Yoghurt with House-made Granola from the breakfast side menu. Both loved it and nothing was left over - a very good sign!!
Top tip: Ask to swap the fries for some broccoli to make the meals even healthier.
A great morning together
Our two loved the play area so much they didn’t want to leave when we finished eating so that’s a pretty good indication it’s an easy meal out with kids! We will definitely be returning for more weekend breakfasts and during school break for some play dates!
