The Grounds of Alexandria

I stumbled across an amazing place... it is not a dwelling place, but it is gorgeous and so very homey feeling. This quaint, cozy and inviting cafe is located in Alexandria, Australia(Building 7A, No2 Huntley St, Alexandria NSW 2015) and makes me want to travel to Australia right now. It is simply named The Grounds of Alexandria and has been short listed for the Interior Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) in hospitality in Australia. Check out what they have to say about themselves and then just soak up the beauty of this place. :)

Located in an old pie factory from the early 1900’s, The Grounds of Alexandria is the flagship venue for its specialty coffee. The site hosts a coffee research and testing facility alongside a café, opening onto a luscious garden of heirloom vegetables and fragrant herbs.Very much a family enterprise; this inner city sanctuary was conceived by Ramzey Choker with his long-standing business partner Jack Hanna and sister; Interior Designer, Caroline Choker.Caroline has maintained the integrity of the former warehouse by embracing its rustic and industrial aesthetic. Black and steel frames, bespoke wooden cabinetry and polished white and green subway tiles are contrasted against vintage wooden tables and refitted shipping containers.With a holistic approach to food and design; The Grounds offers a wholesome and rustic menu. The kitchen uses sustainable practices including; picking fresh herbs every morning and working with full time horticulturalist to grow seasonal produce for the menu.
