There's been much on the grapevine about 'The Grounds of Alexandria' and I've been one of the slower ones to head over to check it out but when a friend came visiting from Melbourne, it was the perfect place to catch up!
Albeit it's a little hard to nab a seat on a Saturday; I hear you need to head there nice and early. For those there at around 11am, you'll find better luck grabbing your food to go and eating in the courtyard. If you ask nicely (which is what we did), a kind lady moved across slightly for us to seat the three of us at the end of a table.
Fruit yoghurt muesli and a Bacon & Egg roll. Coffee a must to start a weekend.
By our table they were serving freshly made donuts and how can one resist? Choice of nutella topping or berry topping.
The awesome K who I call the crazy cat bag lady. The last time I saw her she bought a crazy cat bag.
I felt a little bad about this piggy who was positioned nearby the bacon & egg roll stand.
These two make me laugh so much. They were trying to do a lover's entwined toast with their cups of fresh lemonade which didn't really work - you need to hold with opposite hands!
So much to see as you look around The Grounds of Alexandria.
A cute yellow tricycle.
Hoping we'll have better luck next time getting a table inside! There's much more on offer on the menu and well, I'd be happy just to eat all the things I ate on this visit. Actually, there's a muffin I bought which I ate much later and it was absolutely scrumptious! One of the bonuses of coming here is that there's ample all-day street parking nearby so breakfast can easily extend into lunch. Oh, and all the pots of jams you can buy - it's really quite a foodie's delight!
