Loosie Grind — Restaurant in Melbourne

#throwback to when we went on our sunday walk to Yarra Bend Park and saw this cute cafe called Loosie Grind on the way back home.

With its friendly service, warm atmosphere, and quality savoury treats, Loosie is a hidden gem...

Processed frozen chicken in a stale wrap with Coles coleslaw and a couple lettuce leaves describes what I had. Service was prompt but I had to get up to ask for cutlery. Atmosphere, look if you enjoy staff literally yelling (not agressively) at each other from behind the counter to where customers are sitting, great. I also suspect some customers are known to the owners/staff given the inappropriate conversations (for a public space) going on. I'm unfortunately not a fan so I...
