The Grounds at Alexandria, first time experience, is like no other cafe I have been to in Sydney. Especially with the Paris decorations and lots and lots of flowers. Women and everyone are loving this! Especially the women! So take the women in your life to The Grounds at Alexandria for a truly unique experience with the Paris decorations and flowers.
