Genovese Coffee House with Luna: A Tail-Wagging Cafe Experience in Alexandria, Sydney

Hey there,

We hope you're relishing the Black Friday deals! Now is the perfect time to replenish your daily essentials, especially with those tempting discounts. In this edition, we're taking a step back to highlight a special spot we visited weeks before launching our newsletter. It's a place that truly deserves a mention.

Let's jump right in!

Our visit, if memory serves right, was on a Saturday noon about 6-8 weeks ago. Conveniently located just 100 metres from Woolies Supermarket in Alexandria, which offers an hour-free parking area, the cafe is a convenient stop. The signage is subtle - merely a painting on a wall, so keep your eyes peeled for it.

Upon arrival, our first concern was outdoor seating for Luna, our furry companion. To our delight, we were welcomed indoors – a rare treat in cafes. It felt wonderful to have Luna comfortably seated inside with us.

In line to order, Luna by our side, we were kindly directed to sit near the bar area. The sight of other dogs inside added to the welcoming vibe.

Sporting a modern warehouse-style interior with concrete bartops and floors, coupled with high ceilings, the cafe exudes an open, airy feel. Even when bustling, it doesn't feel cramped.

The food menu, dominated by an array of tempting sandwiches, made choosing a challenge. The countertop also displayed an assortment of pastries that looked utterly scrumptious.

Though the exact flavours escape me, I recall vowing to order the eggplant panini and the nduja focaccia again. The dishes, simple yet delicious, showcased high-quality ingredients and left a lasting impression.

Seating with Doggy

Indoor, dog-friendly, and air-conditioned - ideal for the hot summer days ahead!

A communal dog water bowl is placed at the entrance, where we tried (but failed) to capture a photo of Luna looking at the camera. 😅
