Sydney Fine Food Company Cafe, Alexandria

Don’t you love it when you find a cafe close by, that has delicious (gluten free) treats and offers that something extra? Well that’s exactly what I have found with Sydney Fine Food Company Cafe in Alexandria. Sydney Fine Food Company Cafe is a local haunt for me on the weekend because (a) they are open longer hours than most of the cafe’s in the area and (b) they have a number of yummy gluten free options, both sweet and savory.Last time I went to the cafe I didn’t have any cash on me and they have a $10 minimum so I had to buy up large (what a shame!). I chose a florentine and almond, orange and poppyseed log (not sure if that is what you would call it!).The florentine was very yummy and though they only had milk chocolate on this particular day they often have a choice of what chocolate you would like (dark, milk or white).

Well the cafe is located on the corner of Buckland and Wyndham streets across from Alexandria Park and if you want to eat your treats in the park you can borrow a picnic rug from the cafe for free! I haven’t done this yet but definitely a great idea for a sunny day.

Must take advantage of this one day! Must take advantage of this one day! Do you know of a cafe that offer that something extra?
