Village Grind Cafe is a cafe in Salamander Bay where dog access has not yet been confirmed — it's worth checking before you visit.
My partner and I are frequent visitors with our little family (2 dogs and a cat). Yesterday we got engaged and we celebrated this morning with a coffee. The owners gifted us a free coffee in celebration! Such a lovely gift of kindness 💘 this will forever live on our fridge as a memory. Thank you guys 🤍
Highly recommend! I absolutely love this cafe, their food and coffee are hands down the best in the area and that's coupled with very friendly and professional staff and reasonable prices. This cafe does not disappoint! 💯
Very nice coffee shop. Very busy during the holiday season though so be prepared to wait for your order. Friendly staff.
Great breakfast, with some special offerings. My ‘Black and Mushy’ (poached eggs, black pudding, mushrooms and onions on sourdough) was beautifully cooked and very tasty. The black pudding comes from a specialist Scottish butcher somewhere in Sydney. I certainly appreciated the effort to source such quality ingredients.
The food was decent at a friendly neighbourhood cafe, simple meal, and I thought this must be one of the hidden secrets of salamander Bay Area. We spent just over 50 for 2 adults and 1 eating child, which I thought for the food we got felt little pricy given the decor when we walked in, but then again we are at touristy spot and anywhere else would have costed more. And I loved the family vibe there which was wonderful. Portion was alright, the bruschetta was little small (and unfortunately taken the wrong order) but everything tasted great. Sounded funny but our favourite at least for our kid was the buttery toast which really was fluffy and great. Staffs were friendly, and you know this is really the friendly neighbourhood joint when everyone packs their own cups back to the counters. Weighing everything I thought it was a solid 4-5 stars. If you’re in the area definitely worth checking this beautiful little cafe out.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
