The Grounds is built on the philosophy of creating experiences for communities through quality products, innovations and an ever-evolving vision.
Located in a former industrial precinct from the 1920s, The Grounds of Alexandria opened in 2012 and houses a landmark coffee roastery, café, restaurant and bar, animal farm and garden.
Our Alexandria location has become renowned as one of Sydney’s must-visit locations, having earned the title of the 7th most Instagrammed place in Australia for 2016.
The initial vision was born from entrepreneurial duo Ramzey Choker and Jack Hanna who had the vision to turn the then industrial concrete car park into a thriving urban sanctuary, designed as a welcoming space to bring people together.
In June 2017 a second location was introduced to Sydney’s CBD, The Grounds of The City. Nearly three years in the making, this coffeehouse-inspired inner-city hub was designed to transport guests back to an era of old-school charm and reignite the heart and soul of the city. The City offers a world-class experience grounded by warmth and old-fashioned charm. It's a haven from the office, a hub for heart-to-hearts and a magnet for the style set.
Paul Allam & David Mcguinness began Bourke Street Bakery in the winter of 2004. Both were baker / chefs who shared a love of good food.
Through the seasons, Bourke Street Bakery has grown into a Sydney institution for people who have the same love affair.
Bourke Street Bakery makes everything by hand with the best possible ingredients. A combination of great produce, artisanal skill & hard work creates the honest, soulful, delectable bites that the bakery has become famous for.
From its humble beginnings Bourke Street Bakery has successfully grown into one of Sydney's premier hospitality businesses with 11 bakery locations across the greater Sydney region.
