Winter visits featuring the Unicorn & Hot Chocolate

The Grounds of Alexandria

Alexandria

Brekkie with family including @minniethefoodiepup

I love the Grounds in winter, it’s got a great atmosphere especially with the hot chocolate cooking on the coals. The florist selling winter flowers, the animals huddled up for warmth and the employees of the Ground in their cool jackets. 

We came for brekkie and they have the cafe and 2 bar/food area open for brekkie too, so many options!! 

  • PIZZA BREAD; baked with creamy mushroom, tarragon, chilli and fresh herbs from the garden $12 perfect for winter but very heavy and thick

  • UNICORN SODA; Rainbow ice-cream, strawberry gelato, whipped cream, soda, 100’s & 1000’s, pink meringue $12 massive gimmick, attracted alot of attention including worried dads asking me where they can get one for their 5 year olds, im not a massive fan of spiders in general, but this would be better as a milkshake if thats even possible

Minnie is in a Katelyn Mannix Designs bowtie - check them out on Etsy, Facebook & Insta. The Grounds markets are on every Saturday and Sunday 9am-3:30pm.
