We had a great brekkie at My Grandma Ben 's at Bowden this morning, at a civilised hour of 9am. We began with excellent coffee ranging from a piccolo to skinny caps to an iced latte. We then took a while to make up our minds what to order plenty of choices without being bombarded by the usual standard cafe breakfast menu, which this menu wasn 't. My choice was fruit toast which was superb, the best I have eaten for some time. Plenty of moist fruit and large pieces of fresh walnuts were in the fruit bread which had been toasted and served with a small side dish containing butter and home made marmalade. Our friends enjoyed other choices from the breakfast menu which included perfect soft eggs...
My Grandma Ben’s is located inside Plant 4. They have a small seating area of their own inside the cafe however don’t be worried, you have all of Plant 4’s seating available. They have plenty of yummy options to choose from but my favourite has the be anything to do with the Roo Bolognaise and their crumpets! They don’t do take away coffee but will fill up your own keep cup. Be warned they only have a small kitchen and on a weekend they are very popular so be prepared to wait but the wait is worth it!
I attended a large workshop focused on learning about pickles and the various processes and combinations involved. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I'm really pleased with the pickles I made! It was great value for money and a fun way to spend time with a friend or two while learning something new. I definitely plan to attend another session. I also appreciated receiving the class notes via email afterward.
The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance and offers excellent service. However, it is slightly on the expensive side. Overall, I would rate the food 5/5, the service 5/5, and the atmosphere 5/5. Highly recommended!

Service was excellent, food was complex and fresh and delicious, and the space was cosy and cute. A fab brunch spot.
Yum! Really unique menu and delicious. Very interesting crafty warehouse venue. Would recommend for brunch!
This is a really nice place with good coffee, but the food was disappointing—I couldn't even finish it.
Amazing food. Stracciatella cheese curds and tomato on toast is the ONE!
