The Grumpy Barista, previously of the inner west suburb of Petersham has found its way to a new location 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...
Read more11 out of ten always!! I'm addicted to eggs Benedict & I can safely say that in the 15 years that I've lived in Oz, that these guys make the best eggs bene ever... Now, the weird thing is that I'm a fussy old bugger but not once in the more than 100 times that I've eaten here has the food been anything but first class!!! The chef is a wonder kid, the owner makes excellent coffee & has a heart of gold & looks after his customers & staff as though they were family & this is very evident in how many locals support the Cafe & how loyal his staff are!! But for me the the hollandaise sauce the awesome chef created & is consistently above excellent is the best I've ever eaten!! Hats off to you guys, as anyone who has had the pleasure to dine here knows you're the best Cafe in Sydney, obviously, in my...
Read moreThe name sounds funny, but definitely the barista is not grumpy. The cafe is located on the main road of Henderson but also in a non populated retail area with many shots non-vacant. The cafe itself is quite nice inside and out with small tables for small small groups. The Grumpy’s use toby estates coffee beans together with the skill of the barista the coffee is perfect. Price per cup is standard for both and regular and large comparable to the price in the CBD. The cafe also sell their own merchandise t-shirts for those interested. Verdict: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Service 5/5 Coffee...
