The Grounds of Alexandria

The Grounds is a Sydney-based hospitality group, best known for our flagship location, The Grounds of Alexandria. We have a family of immersive cafés, restaurants, and stunning event spaces. While each location has a unique identity, they are all connected by our passion for creating exceptional experiences with beautiful food, drinks, and design. However, we do so much more.When the doors of our first cafe opened in 2012, we realised the safest hands were our own. Every great coffee youve ever had from our venues has been meticulously crafted and roasted by the incredible team at The Grounds Roastery. Our in-house bakery & patisserie create some of Sydneys best baked goods, while The Grounds Catering brings the great taste of The Grounds to your office or doorstep.

The Grounds of Alexandria was our first and is our most well-known venue, but its not our only one! Our family has grown to include The Grounds of the City in the CBD, The Coffee Factory in South Eveleigh and other dedicated spaces. We see The Grounds of Alexandria as the heart of our operations, housing our most iconic eateries, our bakery, and several distinct dining experiences, while our other venues bring a unique slice of The Grounds magic to different parts of Sydney.
