Love Grub, Alexandria

Love Grub sits cutely on a laneway corner with a row of garden beds and patch of grass strewn with assorted toys. It's a lovely spot on a sunny day with plenty of charming and cheery inner city grunge from the waiters to the clientele to the street art backdrop.

The menu is long and interesting with a Japanese flavour. The chef lived in Japan for years and does a 'Japas' menu- Japanese tapas. We were there for breakfast and while I can't rave about the food, it was decent and the coffee was good.

I would go back for the space and green environs. Stella had a great time watering the veggie gardens, inspecting the worm farms and taking the toys for a spin. They did a kids size smoothie for her in a big plastic cup with a straw and there are high chairs.

Obviously lots of space on the 'green' for buggys. You might feel a little nervous if you've got a toddler that likes to wander off though as the cafe is on busy Mitchell Road. Go to the toilet before you get there.

Open daily and evenings on the weekend. Details, including menu, on their website.
