HEALTHY COMFORT FOOD

Check out the café that promotes a better way of eating.

If you’re a lover of seriously great coffee, you’ll be delighted that we discovered Higher Grounds in Tubli, a speciality café with a variety of coffee offerings roasted by Specialty Batch. And it’s not just about the coffee, Higher Grounds also serves all-day brunch and dinner ranging from egg platters and French toast to burgers and ramen.

Sounds kind of sinful, right? But fear not, they take a natural and ethical approach using natural ingredients, local or organic where possible, and they offer plenty of veggie, vegan and gluten-free options. The aim is to be as sustainable as possible by offering complimentary filtered water, using mostly compostable packaging and sourcing responsibly. Higher Grounds also hosts community events on a regular basis.

The attention is on quality with a desire for everything to be simple but very well done and this ethos comes from the family’s own upbringing in wishing to take a conscientious approach and minimise impact on the environment.

Best sellers include indulgent items such as the Espresso Cream French Toast and Hippie Pancakes, but you should also try the Mary Had a Vegan Lamb Burger and Hot Cauli Tacos. Plus, there’re some new items on the menu including salads and breakfast buns.

The Platform is where, a few times a year, they organise a local chef to come in and incorporate a local ingredient to create a five-course set menu. This time, on December 10, it’s the turn of Bahraini Chef Naseem Rasrummani, who will be using locally-grown tomatoes to produce a one-day feast. ✤
