Established in 2014 by James Sledmere and Lauren Morris, The Sneaky Grind has become a neighbourhood favourite for years now because of their great coffee, decent selection of food, and friendly staff. The place itself is very inviting, with its chilled vibe and spacious laneway seating outside, where fur babies are welcome to dine with their pet parents.
They have a range of beverages aside from usual cappuccino, flat white, and latte. They also have hot choco, mocha, babycino, and English Breakfast Tea. One of the most popular choices on the drinks menu is Dandy by Jake, a highly spiced, organic, sugar free dandelion root chai.
If you wish to stay longer, pair your drinks with a serving of their all-day brekky, with options like The SOHO (their version of classic toastie), The Avolonian (avo on toast), baked falafel, banana bread, and fruit/raisin toast.
This cafe is not just all about coffee and good times though, because they are also known for their healthy dine-in or grab-and-go food including some banging vegetarian and vegan options. They have the Morning Glory Bowl, a protein-packed bowl of cocoa and oat milk infused rolled-oats, with fresh fruit, berry reduction, almond butter and pepitas; and their own take on vegetarian Reuben.
Sneaky Grind is open seven days a week and is available for both dine-in and takeaway. You can check them out on Facebook or on Instagram @thesneakygrind for more details.
