A great cafe, plenty of parking and really good coffee. Love the drive thru, esp in the mornings. Am now a regular for the fish and chip friday special as the fish is always so fresh. A great place and love to call in when I can

I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch at the Grind today. A most awesome berry cheesecake… and a vege pizza on a wholemeal pita bread base was yum.

Only recommendation would be that toasting the ‘pizza’ lightly in the oven might have prevented the pita base from getting chewy, but still would be heated enough to enjoy? But the toppings (incl caramelized onion & some kind of berry capers – yum) were delish, so I enjoyed the pizza inspite of being a bit chewy from the re-heat.

I also liked the ‘honeydew’ flavour in the green tea, which I wasn’t expecting with my green tea… but enjoyed it very much.

A great, clean, light & airy space.
Very friendly, smiling staff.

Wow! Picked up a Grab One deal just before christmas and turned up first week in January not really expecting them to be open due to the location in the industrial area but yes they were – but with limited menu but that was ok for the time of year.
Great food with good size servings and nice clean surroundings. Yes, we will be back to try other items on the menu.
Thanks Grab One!! Well worth checking out!

We go to this cafe nearly every week. It is hard to find a good cafe open in the sat afternoon and one that provides great service. The grind burger is excellent and the fries are to die for. Excellent service and feels good to be greeted everytime.

I am a patient man, always have been. But, half an hour to prepare me eggs benedict when your cafe is no more than a quarter full?! Are you joking?

I could understand the time taken if the food were divine and the taste irresistible, but it wasn’t.

I am glad to see that the staff are having such a good time joking and laughing at the servery and in the kitchen. But guys please spare a thought for your stone faced customers waiting for their food.

There are two better cafes within 1 minutes drive from this place and Botany Downs with all the gastronomic delights it holds is only 5 minutes up the road. I am struggling to see the point of difference that this cafe brings to the market.

A cup of coffee and eggs on toast should make me happy not piss me off. To the owners of the Grind, please try harder!!!

Watched the cafe being built for the past 3 months.

Thought I would call in and check it out. WOW! Looks clean and modern, chairs are comfortable and the coffee is good. Really like the look of the menu and the food coming out past my table, will be back for brunch with the wife.

Love the drive thru idea and the prepay cards make life to easy.

I will be a regular

22/04/11 – Am a daily regular, the staff are great, know my coffee before I even get to the counter, the food is tasty and well presented and love the space and not sitting on the person at the next tables lap like some cafes.

Great job guys, keep it up
