Grind Pantry

Grind Pantry is a family-run cafe in Alexandria serving breakfast, brunch and lunch in a relaxed setting. Founded in 2023 by brothers Freddy and Faiz, the venue is shaped by their hospitality background and a desire to create an inviting place for friends, families and locals to share a meal. The menu is influenced by the brothers’ travels, with a broad range of food and drinks rather than a narrowly focused cafe offering.

Coffee is supplied by Deluca’s, while the drinks list also includes healthy juices, smoothies, cocktails and wines selected with the help of a sommelier. For a more celebratory visit, the bottomless brunch runs on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 3pm, pairing two hours of selected brunch cocktails with a shared spread. The set offering includes bread and dips, salt and pepper calamari, chickpea falafel, chicken skewers, beef tacos, fries and garden salad.

The space is presented as warm and welcoming, with an easy-going atmosphere suited to a casual coffee, a longer brunch or a daytime catch-up. Outdoor seating is available for guests bringing dogs, and the venue also welcomes children with a dedicated kids menu and highchairs. Walk-ins are accepted, although bookings are recommended for guests who want to secure a table.

Grind Pantry places emphasis on fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers and says it supports local organisations, including charity groups. That community-minded approach, combined with its all-day food and drinks format, makes it a practical option for families, small groups and relaxed gatherings in Alexandria. Takeaway is also available, and the team caters for private functions ranging from family get-togethers to larger corporate events. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available, with guests encouraged to discuss dietary requirements with staff because the kitchen handles several common allergens.
