Its all about the Coffee!

One of the wonders of the Sutherland Shire is without a doubt the 'Grind Experience'
Richard Calabro founded the hole in the wall under Rydges hotel 5 years ago in January 2002 where he started the smallest business in the world. Not only was it an impossible 12 square meter shop, it was only opened on the weekends , but Richard knew, that with his skilled techniques and personality, eventually word would spread about the coffee at GRIND. And that’s what happened. In a short time people were coming from all over the Sutherland shire to have one of Richard’s coffees on the weekend.
Richard always thought differently to all the other café operators where everyone else is serving bacon and eggs and burgers, he kept to his Italian roots by strictly serving Italian style coffee and complimenting this with a beautiful biscotti or a cake slice. He has kept this his business model up to this day. ‘The only thing we have added on is take-home packs of coffee either whole or ground. The secret to my business is to keep it as simple as possible. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing and do the best you can with what you’ve got’
Richard’s plan was to not only create a good espresso bar, but to also create a venue for the people. You will see all walks of life go into the shop. From Uni students, Bohos, business men, coffee freaks to ma and pa kettle!
Now 5 years has passed and Richard and his wife Greer are now taking the plunge into a new venture. They have decided to open a new venue where the shop can be opened Monday to Friday for all their loyal customers who come down every weekend and sip and enjoy a Grind brew. They will still have their original Grind opened on Public holidays and the new venue will be opened during the weekdays. After all ‘I’d rather be at GRIND’…
