Review The Grounds Keeper Cafe - Parramatta

Newly opened cafe. Been here twice. Friendly staff, good coffee and good food. Prices are on the higher side and portions are small. Especially, kids menu. Dried fruit pavlova was amazing! Must have!!

We noticed this place on our way home from Westfield so thought it would be perfect for a pit stop to relax after the hectic shopping experience. Althought on the main street, it was tranquil, nice & quiet with outside and some inside seating. Gread choice of teas and good menu selection. With a kids playground nearby.

As always, lovely food. Great coffee. Great service. No request is a problem. When in Parramatta, treat yourself to a visit here. I do.

A lovely restaurant in a good location. We went on Sunday morning which g is a great time to visit due to ease of parking nearby. The park is on the doorstep which is a good place for the kids to burn energy. The menu had lots of middle eastern choices, which is what we went for and it was great. There are more conventional breakfasts too. The service was good and the place was unpretentious, which I liked. Felt it was a little expensive but I didn't feel short changed as location, service and food was good but couldn't afford to go there too often

We have been here several times, the staff are always very helpful & the food is always great. Today, I was verbally abused by another patron, who was obviously dog-phobic. My dog wasn't doing anything, wasn't even near him. We moved away. I was later informed by another patron that he was reminded by the wait staff that the cafe is dog friendly facility. A BIG THANK YOU to the wait staff who stood up for me today.

Excellent food, good coffee and prompt, friendly service. This cafe is well worth visiting for coffee and/or a casual meal in the great outdoors. Although they are located inside Parramatta Park adjacent to O'Connell Street (which carries a fair volume of vehicular traffic), the venue is actually reasonably quiet. There is plenty of room adjacent to the Cafe to park your bicycle if you wish to ride your bike to the cafe. The cafe has a toilet located within their premises, which has wheelchair/disabled access. There are daily specials available, as well as a reasonably comprehensive menu covering breakfast, brunch and lunch options.

Newly open cafe in the old guardhouse at Parramatta park. The decor inside the old building has been tastefully resorted and, if you can get a good spot under the aircon/ heating, it's a lovely place to sit. The outside seating is also has very nice garden surroundings. The menu has a few cafe favourites, with the addition of a middle eastern twist. There are a few breakfast dishes that come baked in clay pots. I love this. Prices are on the higher side, but it's worth it. Very well presented and lots of options/ extras can be added to the dishes. Coffee is pretty good too. I'm definitely going to go here again.

I ordered fried eggs and not poached. They brought me poached eggs and when I said I asked for fried they said they don't make changes to the menu. I was not told this when I ordered. She made me remove the poached eggs by hand in front of her to put on a plate and made me add my fried eggs myself while she( the manager) and the rest of the place watched. I told her this was unprofessional and then she took the plate. They did not clear plates, my husband had to put the empty plates and place them on the xhair next to him. The food was okay but the customer service was terrible. They ruined our 1st father's day experience. I do not recommend this place at all. The toilet was disgusting there was bleach product spilled on the baby changing table that i wiped myself for fear that my baby's skin may be irritated.
