The Sneaky Grind

Really lovely spot down an alley in the centre of Avalon. Blink and you'll miss it, this Cafe offering coffees and a small food menu is a great pitstop with ample indoor and outdoor seating.

Food was really lovely and very reasonably priced, though the menu was very small (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

Coffee wasn't to my taste, but was well made and had good latte art, so no complaints there.

Highchairs were available.

The best coffee! I'm a decaf drinker and I've never had such a good decaf long black. Crema was amazing. Owners so friendly. Thank you!

I’ve been to The Sneaky Grind twice now + enjoy the experience. It’s located in a little alley way type thing which I think adds character. The staff have been out-going + relaxed both times. My experience is that it’s a very casual exchange which I love. Reasonably priced + the coffee is great.

Great coffee shop and breakfast spot. We visited both mornings of our stay in Avalon, the coffee is superb and the breakfast wrap was delicious. The service is super quick and was perfect for us to grab breakfast as takeaway on our way out for the day. The price is so reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend.

Great little cafe tucked away down an alleyway. Super friendly staff, simple and delicious menu and great coffee make this an awesome little place. Worth checking out when in Avalon and wanting to get lost in that alleyway cafe vibe!

Excellent coffee, using Melbourne’s Proud Mary beans. Visited two days in a row, while travelling through the Northern beaches. Many vegan options and all the milk choices.
The vegan cauliflower wrap and the vegan oat bowl are highly recommended. Great atmosphere to sit in, would definitely visit again.

Super cute cafe, friendly staff and the vegan wrap was next level delicious. Satisfyingly crispy on the outside and felt like a warm hug on the inside. Was the perfect rainy weather breakfast food. 10/10!!

Great coffee spot tucked away off the main drag. Friendly service, great coffee!

The coffee lovers local favourite. Best coffee and service in Avalon. Open early too!

I love Sneaky Grind! My fave food is the Caulifornian. It’s their own invention and it’s a delight. It’s vegan - but if you’re not a vegan, don’t let that put you off. My carnivore husband LOVES it.

They make a great coffee, always know you’re name - and you’ll always bump into someone you know there.

Amazing coffee. Will comeback another day and try out their breakfast menu

Great spot to grab a coffee and get some work done with power points available next to tables.

Well, first time at Sneaky Grind with their new coffee beans - Ona’s Aspen. Just brilliant cup of coffee. Great beans. Bloody god service too.

Passionate barista in a spacious cafe. Wide offering of drinks. They serve ONA. I grabbed a single origin long black as they were out of batch brew and it was smooth and acidic to my liking.

Super friendly staff, great food and great prices. Will be back again!

Terrific welcome, great food and the fastest service we have had anywhere!!!
Well done!!!

Mystical little café, located in a discreet alley, as marc augé would put it, in a Non Lieu, aka an interchangeable space where human beings can remain anonymous, or at a crossroads of human relations.
Great coffee & croissants & chocolatines, which you can be asked to get heated, if needed.
Service is authentic & chill, you might even laugh, during a pause. Be advised they close early in the afternoon.

Great cafe. We enjoy the coffee and the kids always get the hot chocolate. Service is friendly and fast. Nice local experience.

Absolutely sensational coffee and food .amazing stuff, always smiling which is pretty unusual in a good way as it’s pretty hard to see anyone smiling in Avalon . Highly recommend indeed!

Excellent service, coffee and atmosphere. There are many local cafes with transient customers, Sneaky Grind is a cafe that has a community feel about it.

You see people going there day after day with their dogs, kids, and friends, inter-twining sneaky grind into their routine. When a place has such a regular customer base you know they're in it for the community and not just a quick buck.

Thanks for giving back to the community.
