Eveleigh, Locomotive Workshop, cafe

The Grounds Coffee Factory is a cafe in the redeveloped Locomotive Workshop, located along Locomotive Avenue in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. The Grounds Roastery offers immersive coffee tours of the coffee bean roasting, sorting, blending and packaging machinery. The workshop was part of the former Eveleigh Railway Yards, built in 1877 for trades required to repair or manufacture locomotives and their components. The cafe and roastery opened in 2024 as a spin-off of The Grounds of Alexandria, which itself opened in 2012.

  2. What a neat place. Is the cafe inside of an old restored locomotive? From the description, I assume so?

    1. Not quite. The building is an old locomotive workshop. The cafe itself is a newly built structure. Now that you mention it, it does look like an old locomotive.
