I had heard a lot about Whisk & Grind, so when I walked in and the décor wasn’t particularly fancy I was a little taken aback, but I went with it as the café was very busy; which is always a positive signal. We were not in the marked for anything big, so ordered their homemade sausage rolls, we were given the option of their house relish which I most excitedly accepted. I ordered a chair latte to accompany, then showed myself a seat at the communal table placed in the centre of the café. The communal table is a nice concept, I like it but it often doesn’t work depending on number of patrons, groups and such but this was okay. There were some magazines and newspapers scattered on the table which brought entertainment during our overall 15 minute wait. Good Brought first, drinks second. Sausage roll too good to care. Their sausage rolls are amazing. They’re not greasy, they crumble beautifully and the filling was to die for! We had to stop ourselves getting seconds! You should just go get one. Just go. My chai was delicious, I got two cups put of it. I hate it when you get 1.5 or 2.25 cups– what’s that about? So frustrating! Nonetheless, the chai was perfect, plus I asked for honey with it and they gave me a whole jar instead of a little ramekin, I appreciated that. Also, the cakes in their display look so scrum-diddli-um-cious! Much recommended!

Whisk and Grind is easy to find, halfway down Keys St which is just off Beach Rd(therefore making it a great location to grab a takeaway and walk along the beach). In comparison to other local cafes that open later, Whisk and Grind is more convenient as it opens at 7am Monday — Saturday. This earlier opening time enables earlier beach walks with the promise of coffees and baked goods! The biggest positive of Whisk and Grind is all of its goodies are made on site. They even offer catering services! With so many different pastries and cakes to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice. They even make their own jams and relishes! The mixed berry cheesecake is a winner and I’m keen to try a croissant next time I visit. Whisk and Grind use Gravity Espresso for their coffee and also offer a range of fresh juices. Slight suggestions? I’ve only visited Whisk and Grind twice. The service has been a little inconsistent, but I may have just been unlucky one of the days I visited(and I’m more than happy to try again). Just worth noting that Whisk and Grind closes at 3pm on a Saturday and is closed Sundays. There’s a few places to leave bikes out the front, if you’ve just come from a bayside ride. Whisk and Grind has one large communal table, so if you’ve got a large group coming in, you are probably best to try snag that. It’s casual and comfortable, with a pleasant atmosphere suggesting it’d be nice to pop in on a Saturday morning and read the paper over coffee and a croissant.

Great little café! Best coffee and pastry around. Amazing service all around, far from the nearest good coffee place.
