The Grounds is a much-loved café, restaurant, and event destination in Sydney, Australia. It offers beautiful, inviting spaces where guests can enjoy great coffee, delicious food, special events, and memorable experiences. More than just a place to eat, The Grounds is a place to relax, socialise, celebrate, and explore in warm and welcoming surroundings. The Grounds began with The Grounds of Alexandria, a vibrant venue known for its lush garden setting, strong coffee culture, and seasonal menu. Since then, The Grounds family has expanded to include several unique venues across Sydney, each with its own personality and charm.

Whether you want a hearty meal with friends or a sweet treat with a beautifully brewed coffee, there is something for every taste. The coffee culture is a major highlight — many visitors enjoy specialty brews, fresh pastries, and house-made dishes known for their quality and flavour.

Each venue is designed to be fun, beautiful, and inspiring. Many locations feature greenery, garden décor, and cosy spaces ideal for spending time with family or meeting up with friends. The Potting Shed and The Garden Bar & BBQ offer a relaxed garden feel, while The Coffee Factory celebrates the craft of coffee roasting. The Grounds of the City brings old-world style and elegance to Sydney’s CBD. Beyond dining, The Grounds hosts special events and experiences throughout the year, including themed celebrations, workshops, family-friendly activities, seasonal installations, and festive events such as holiday markets and high-tea gatherings. These experiences make The Grounds a place where visitors can create lasting memories and celebrate important moments. The Grounds also offers takeaway meals and drinks, available through their app or directly at the venues, allowing guests to enjoy their favourite dishes from home or on the go.
