The Grounds of Alexandria

You can’t begin an article about the best brunch spots in Alexandria anywhere other than this mega-cafe, whose queues for weekend brunch have become the stuff of legend in Sydney. The Grounds occupies a heritage-listed industrial precinct that offers a glimpse into Alexandria’s working class past, and is made up of a huge cafe, restaurant, bar, garden, bakery, patisserie, coffee roastery, markets, florist and even an animal farm that all reflect the suburb’s bohemian character these days.
