The Grumpy Barista, previously of the inner west suburb of Petersham has found its way to a new…read morelocation in Alexandria. The café occupies the corner of Garden st and Henderson Road and is industriously styled with cool marble and pink interior and a hanging garden. There's plenty of space inside and out, so I you won't be waiting long for a table. Serving Toby's estate coffee and a range of modern Australian dishes for both breakfast or lunch, as well as some sweet treats, is a popular café with the locals and visitors to the area alike. I've visited now on more than one occasion and the café is continuously striving to perfect their menu offerings. A group of us dined on this day to sample a number of the menu choices. The Grumpy's special of chili scrambled eggs were presented atop sourdough bread and a side of heirloom carrots, a heatlhy and wholesome meal. The winner of the day, and also one recommended to us was the Green Pea Smash with burrata and prosciutto. A great combination of flavours. From the sweets menu, we went for the Fig Brioche, topped with macadamia, honey, ricotta and vanilla ice cream (in place of the regular fairy floss). There were a few fruits topping it and would love to have a few more. The Grumpy's granola and pannacotta is also not only beautiful, but delicious and served with a raspberry pannacotta. Could be a sweet or breakfast ;) The venue also serves the famous cronuts (a mix of a doughnut and croissant, filled with a range of insides like cream, Nutella, caramel and topped with oreos etc. Surprise yourself. The guys at grumpy's are always friendly and hospitable. Make sure you pay them a visit.

Overall the food was ok. The menu (still the Christmas menu in February) is not expansive which is…read moregood, but I strongly advise looking at the pricing before you order, I ordered eggs on toast ($14) and a side of bacon. This came with two eggs on ONE slice of toast. Had I ordered just the toast ($8 for two slices) and two extra eggs ($3 each) it would come to the same price with more toast. The coffee was very good though. I'm dropping stars because considering the price, one slice of toast and two eggs is outrageous. Repeating my sentiment though, go for the coffee!

Immediately upon walking in, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We ordered multiple things, and the staff was incredibly accommodating to the changes that we wanted on our food.

In the time waiting for the food, it was made clear that this was a place full of regular customers. The staff seemed to have inside jokes with many customers. The drinks were made very efficiently.

Had to go to Alexandria to pickup a new TV today so looked up some brunch places in the area and…read morestumbled upon this one. What a find! The guy who runs this place is Peruvian and you can see the influence in some of the dishes here, especially the Peruvian Roll (duh.) If you've never had Peruvian chincarron before, you really need to get this roll. Seriously. It's one of the best rolls I've had in Sydney. The kumera (sweet potato) isn't overcooked, the pork is tender and delicious, the fried egg is a perfect runniness, and the salsa criolla with lemon mayo is a great complement. Friends got a few of the other stuff on the menu like the Puffed Galette, Beef Hash, and Mushroom Medley and really enjoyed those, in particular the Puffed Galette. They use coffee beans from The Golden Cobra and the coffee is pretty spot on. If you want to taste all the notes in the coffee with a cold brew, they do that too. The places loses marks only because service can be hit or miss. Food took an inordinate amount of time and waitress forgot things here and there. Otherwise, the food and coffee are fantastic.

On the day we went, they featured beans from Honduras "Marcala" & Sumatra "Putra Gayo Washed". The cold brew they served us came from Colombia. I was most impressed by their cold brew - it was light, fruity/floral, and super creamy. I can't think of any places in the US that does cold brews that well. My husband's favorite was the Honduras Marcala as it was very easy on the tongue, "sip easy" indeed it was. Luckily we got there early enough to snag seating outdoors. The place filled up quickly during our time there with a line out the door by the time we paid at the cash register.
