The Grounds at Alexandria, first time experience, is like no other cafe I have been to in Sydney. Especially with the Paris decorations and lots and lots of flowers. Women and everyone are loving this! Especially the women! So take the women in your life to The Grounds at Alexandria for a truly unique experience with the Paris decorations and flowers.

Happyfield was my first choice for my birthday breakfast! It was clean, the styling is great, staff are friendly and the food is delicious! The staff sang happy birthday to me and gave me a cookie, which was so nice of them! We had a great time.

We ordered coffees which were great and breakfast eggs benedict which were lovely, but the shukshuka was not good, It was not thick enough and it was very dry and overcooked. The flavour was good but should not have been served. It could have been a one off, but I would go back and try again if i was in the area.
