About The Grounds Keeper Cafe

Tucked into Blacktown Showground, this parkside spot pairs Lebanese breakfast plates with plenty of green space. Parents settle into indoor or open-air tables while kids tackle the neighbouring playground and waterpark. The kitchen trades typical cafe routines for shish tawouk skewers, spiced kafta sandwiches, and morning coffee—finishing sweet with a slice of orange cake.

  • Parkside Setting: Set directly inside Blacktown Showground beside the waterpark and open playground.
  • Middle Eastern Plates: Serves shish tawouk skewers, kafta sandwiches, and Lebanese breakfast plates alongside cafe coffee.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering, takeaway wait times, and weekend surcharges

  • Order Directly at the Counter

    The venue combines counter and table processes that can cause confusion on arrival. Collect a menu from the entrance and proceed to the counter to place your order directly rather than waiting for table service.

  • Allow Extra Time for Takeaway

    Takeaway food can encounter extensive delays even when the dining room is not busy, with wait times exceeding 40 minutes. Plan for extra preparation time if you are picking up food on the go.

  • Expect Saturday Surcharges

    The cafe applies a 10% weekend surcharge on Saturdays regardless of public holiday status. Be sure to account for this added charge when budgeting for weekend brunch.
