Needing to be in this area and wanting to eat healthy, spotted this one on Unilocal and chose it as the meet-up spot. Got a piece of their vegetable frittata which was filled with egg, capscium, cheese with a chewy brown texture on the baked top and outer side crust with some side salad from their fridge cabinet. Their Citrus slaw is great with colourful purple cabbage and thin carrot pieces in addition to their leafy kale salad with crumbled feta and pinenuts. Definitely recommend the cool named boom chocolaka smoothie made from chocolate protein powder, oats, banana, peanut butter, maca and milk. Definitely good for you and so tasty– can’t go wrong with chocolate with peanut butter. Was also filling what with its decent serving of the thick, creamy drink. Baked goods near the till if you want something to go. Otherwise a communal wooden table in the centre to sit down with health magazines and healthy recipe books to browse while you’re waiting. Plenty of car parks out the front. Great find in this oddly placed industrial area and perfect for if you are a Club Physical gym member. Definitely hit it up for some refined sugar free, gluten free slices and other healthy treats if you’re in the area.

Grind in a small café located inside Club Physical in the industrial suburb of Rosedale. Put simply, the surroundings leave a lot to be desired. It’s not the sort of place you’d head for a weekend lunch but instead to quickly pick up something on your lunch break or post-workout. The café specialises in healthy, refined sugar free treats, salads and smoothies. They also offer coffee, although I would recommend sticking to the smoothies. The salads change daily but my favourite is the raw beetroot & carrot with some sort of vinagrette. It’s pretty simple but delicious! Also, highly recommended are there cakes and slices. Their seed bar tastes just like a bumper bar only w/o the chocolate and all of the nasties. For me, Grind is the sort of café that I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to but if I was in the area, i’d thank my lucky stars that it was there.
