First time back after a long time — the last time we visited was years ago when they had the Cinderella display. It was also our first time coming for breakfast, as we usually come for afternoon tea. The place is always amazing and very Instagrammable. The food was good overall, but the juice was absolutely amazing — definitely a highlight. We came as a group of five and ordered the big breakfast, trout, pancakes, shakshuka, and the omelette. Portions were generous and nicely presented. Service was great, and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Overall, a lovely experience.

Such a beautiful place to enjoy a great coffee and the theme installations are always amazing. Today it was Emma Memmas garden display and of course it was a huge hit with my 3 year old granddaughter. You can only enter there after youve purchased from the cafe and show your receipt. The theme cake was delicious. $28 might sound a lot but it easily fed 4 of us. It can be hectic in certain areas but there’s plenty of seating in other quieter areas, it’s very big inside. Plenty of parking in the parking station. Play areas for the kids and lovely leafy areas to sit and relax. There’s a lemonade cart that sells the best lemonade I’ve ever tasted!

It’s always a pleasure to visit The Grounds of Alexandria. Every time I bring guests here, there are new surprises, and the venue is always beautifully festive and thoughtfully styled. It truly feels like a café that’s also a tourist destination. This time, we had a private dining room experience, which was excellent! Comfortable, well organised, and perfect for hosting guests. Despite being extremely busy and almost fully booked, the speed of service for both coffee and food was impressive. The team handled the volume effortlessly, and everything ran smoothly. A consistently enjoyable place with great atmosphere, efficient service, and a memorable experience for visitors.

The best cafe with great coffee & meals in a great vintage building with plenty of histories. Try to book a table here, if not they always have a table outside the main cafe area which is still very nice. Plenty to see, to visit & to learn about this historical huge building. Lots of nice photo opportunities inside & outside of the building. Amazing restoration & allowing a high quality cafe to be here, fantastic! Thank you!

I went expecting big crowds and poor parking. It was the weekend after all. Big crowds for sure but surprisingly easy parking and we didn't have to wait long to be seated. Very glad I booked!! Super busy but food and coffees came out surprisingly quickly. We were 3 squeezed into a table for 2 but it was ok. Lots of staff made everything move smoothly. It's pretty and bougie but that's what you'd expect. Insta queens need to be realistic about their photo options.
