THE EXPERIENCE
The Grounds is a great place to spend the day with friends, family and tail-waggers alike. Located in a former industrial precinct from the 1920s, The Grounds of Alexandria is a landmark cafe, restaurant & bar, garden, bakery & patisserie, coffee roastery, animal farm, florist, markets and more. They are super dog friendly and pooches are welcome in most areas, except inside the Cafe, however they are allowed in the terrace area outside. Dogs are even allowed inside The Potting Shed, which is a great place for a drink surrounded by hanging plants, terra-cotta pots and swing

Great place to visit, although can get a little too crowded, particularly during the weekends!
This is an instapups heaven! There’s always beautiful backdrops for you to explore and pretty good brunch food for the humans. The outside area of the cafes are dog friendly or alternatively, you can get take away and find a table in the surrounding grounds to eat. There’s plenty of seating, even when they are busy and you might even get one near their iconic fountain. There are also food stall style shops selling sweets, drinks and other snacks and also a florist. We can definitely recommend the pink lemonade. There is a small animal farm which was a hit for curious pups and also just outside near the carpark block, there is a market that sells handcrafts and other trinkets. It is actually quite magical, especially when they have it decorated for Christmas or with one of the Disney movie themes but be warned, it can get squishy in the most instagrammable locations, with kids, prams and people. So patience is key to getting around and getting pics and pups must be prepared to walk through crowds of people on busy days. Definitely carry smaller pups to avoid them being trampled. Another note is to bring your own water for your dogs. When we went, we couldn’t find dog bowls and there also isn’t grass, so make sure your dogs are all good on the toilet front before sitting down for brunch.
