Paddington Grind

Food at Paddington Grind

The menu covers classic all-day brekkie, brunch dishes and lunch, with sandwiches made to order. Reviewers name the brekkie roll, the avocado toast with scrambled eggs and the salmon bagel. One reviewer says the tuna sandwich was good enough to return for on the day they flew out. The berry french toast dusted with icing sugar and a grilled chicken and avocado salad are also on the menu. Almond croissants come from Tuga Pastries.

What to order: Salmon bagel

Coffee and drinks

The cafe uses Toby's Estate coffee. The Sydney roastery was named world's best coffee shop at the inaugural World's 100 Best Coffee Shops awards. The house blend is the Woolloomooloo Espresso Blend, with notes of heavy chocolate, dried fruits and butterscotch. Baristas adjust the grinder each morning and again as the day warms up. Reviewers say the coffee is consistently excellent.

Pastries, bread and tea

Paddington Grind works with several local suppliers. Tuga Pastries supplies the pastries, and one reviewer singles out the almond croissant. Munja Bakehouse supplies the bread, and Tea Drop supplies the tea. Office and group orders can be arranged by phone, including sandwich boxes, platters and coffee carriers, so the cafe can also supply meetings and workplaces.
