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.

Not sure why it isn't Charlotte's Big sister, seeing that the space is huge! Caters for the crowd working in the area, their menu isn't huge, but has enough; offering about ten items that are no doubt easy to get out quickly. We were there for the lunch menu and there are chicken or beef burgers with fries, pre prepared salads (plus you can add a protein) or the crispy skin salmon. We ordered the beef burger which was an excellent burger as the meat pattie was extremely nicely cooked, tender inside, topped with crispy bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and a siracha sauce sitting inside a toasted bun. The flavours worked nicely together. It came with seasoned fries. We also got the lovely crispy skin salmon with a salad - the rocket, chickpea, cauliflower one. Given that they are already made, the cauliflower was a bit moist but still tasty. Food came quickly by if you're just buying takeaway, there is also pre prepared sandwiches, frittata, muffins and cookies. They also sell a range of vegan slices. Coffee is campos and brewed nicely, the chai was also excellent. They offer incentives for bringing your own cup, which I like to see cafes doing this. Overall, a great addition to the area.

Been walking past Tripod many times over the past few weeks…read more After meeting a new friend today, Tripod popped into mind as where to have a nice chill coffee date. Seemed like a decent relaxing cafe and I've been checking it out on Yelp earlier that week ;) So I was pretty confident in getting something decent here. So we had an iced coffee, iced mocha and chatted over a bowl of beer battered fries. Too good. I am probably addicted to fries (I mean... who isn't...haha) Very friendly waiter, very chatty. Iced coffee was served with a big scoop of ice cream :) Anyways, pleased that Yelp brought me here and looking forward to revisiting soon :)

We didn't call in and book and on a warm Sunday afternoon there was quite a few people waiting for tables. We got our table within about 20 mins of arriving. They have a human menu and a dog menu here so your four legged family member can also enjoy brunch. We ordered the waffle for our dog and he tired to gulp in down in one go He was so excited to get a plate all to himself at a human cafe Menu is pretty varied and plenty of brunch options. I had the full breakfast, first item on the menu. I also had a double espresso Shane which was very nice indeed. Eggs poached perfectly, nice bacon, chorizo and mushrooms. It tasted great and despite the place being full food arrived shortly after we ordered. Service is nice and friendly and there is a number of tables outside which was mostly occupied by dog owners having brunch. Would happily come here again. A nice treat for us and our lovely dog. Coffee is great and food is also great.

I went here today for the first ever Yelp Elite event with DOGGIES and I can promise you we all loved it. I know I was fortunate to get to sample quite a few things from the menu, and I appreciated the stellar service we received, but what really made this stand out was the quality of the ingredients. The bacon, caramel, I don't know what else... shut up... just take my money already... french toast was out of this world. Now, you have to understand, french toast is my most favorite brekkie item in the world, so when I tell you this was the best french toast I have ever had, believe me, it was GOOD. But it doesn't end there, oh no... The coffee was a single origin roast that was smooth and delicious, so I give them big points for making a great flat white (essential to my morning routine). The other items that I sampled, including a quinoa dish with the delightful name of "Birdy Num Num" (kudos to the Peter Sellers' reference, I got it and had a good chuckle), something called "Cinderella's dish" with a poached egg and pumpkin, and a few other items, were all tasty and creative. Did I mention how fresh everything was? It was obvious that this is a place where the food is being made with love and care, I love it when all the details come together. And, of course, I would be remiss if I did not mention what a great time Rufus had. Rufus is a fussy, and hyperactive 15-month-old Mini Doxie. He loved the "puppachino" and the camraderie... In fact, he still hasn't fully recovered from this morning's outing... so that's another yelp of approval for you. So, all in all, great little cafe, worth a few extra minutes of slowing down in the morning and stopping to check it out. You will not regret it.

I think that after that, no matter what was going to happen, I am certain that the coffee and the food would be fantastic. I am not going to lie, the coffee here is not the best you'll have. But it is one of the better coffee places on that side of the station. Not as good as Three Williams, but still good. So if you are looking for a quick coffee on the way to USyd or on that side of the station, this is a great place to stop. They do limited food, sandwiches and the such - but all are good and tasty. They change the menu, so not always the same every time you come here. Also, this place has very limited seating, meaning that this is more of a take-away place, than a sit down cafe.

Each course was tasty, fresh and flavoursome.

We were surprised at how much was included. We literally couldn't fault the dishes and let the Chef know that it was a 10/10 experience. Bravo Bitton!

Booked a table…read more There were two other tables dining. Already not a good sign. Asked which wine to recommend to the waitress, and recommended the most expensive bottle up front. Hmmmm! I ordered one of the specials, as it was talked up so much that I couldn't resist. When it arrived, I dived in and was instantly disappointed. Where was the crab? Where was the lobster? It was just a bowl of minestrone soup bland with a slight hint of fish. No meat at all. And was $40. The pate was nice but needed more bread, which was provided, knowing that my main was a complete disaster. Between dinner and dessert my friend wanted some fresh air and after returning the dessert was already sitting on the table ice cream melting, like we were being rushed to leave, yet there was only two other tables eating, and on that note, the third table seated after we arrived, were placed at the table next to us... when the entire restaurant was empty and this was not covid safe at all. Not happy at all, sorry but I will not be back. Do not recommend!!
