I went to the Sydney grind for brunch, they had great selection of desserts with some sandwiches. I loved the ambience, it’s not very luxurious but is proper cozy cafe vibe kind of. They have good amount of seating. Prices were genuine. I enjoyed everything we got - the coffee; pistachio pastry, a standard jam filled biscuit and a chicken wrap. I would definitely recommend this place if someone is looking to go for a little brunch get together kind of thing.

Had an amazing experience here! Came in for the grand reopening and right when you walk in you are greeted by the new owner and baristas which was great as everyone was super friendly. A great place to catch up with friends over a latte or just get some work done. I ordered a Matcha Latte and it was made so well, by far one of the best matcha lattes I have tried. They have a variety of milk alternatives for every dietary restriction which is appreciated as it can be hard to find milk alternatives at coffee shops. You can tell they care about their customers and use high quality ingredients for their drinks and baked goods. The service was amazing. Definitely a must try! It’s my new favourite spot!

Absolutely love this neighborhood gem! The coffee is always excellent, the treats are delicious, and it has such a warm, welcoming vibe. Bonus points for being one of the only spots around that offers macadamia nut milk — game changer! A go-to for sure.

This cafe is fantastic! The coffee is smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced—every sip is just right. Whether it’s an espresso or a latte, you can really taste the quality of the beans. The baristas are skilled and put a lot of care into every cup. The interior is also impressive—well-designed but still cozy. The warm lighting and comfortable seating make it a great place to relax, get some work done, or just enjoy a quiet moment. If you’re looking for great coffee in a beautiful space, this is definitely worth a visit!

My favourite cafe in the city! The staff are always so kind and play the best music. Such a great spot to get some work done or catch up with a friend. I love their iced mocha and all of their baked goods are worth a try. 10/10

The Sydney Grind is the best cafe in the Lakeshore Village area! We have been coming every weekend since the beginning of the year since our first visit. They serve an assortment of coffees and tea; in my opinion, their matcha latte is the show-stopper! The Sydney Grind bakes fresh and delicious pastries daily, and they have also started serving their own breakfast sandwiches made in-house. We’ve tried them all, they’re all fantastic (go for the pesto mayo!) The ultimate reason we return to the cafe may be the staff though. They’re all super friendly, attentive, kind, and know their stuff! The Sydney Grind is our go-to cafe and we recommend everyone to visit!
