Granata's - PEMULWUY

It’s hot and dry on the day I visit Pemulwuy. The suburb is named for an Aboriginal resistance fighter, who battled incursions of British settlers for his homeland, focusing on the nearby Toongabbie settlement. Today, row after row of identikit multi-storey homes in neutral shades with alternating bright feature walls so you can tell your house from your neighbour’s, seem to imply that resistance is futile. Each house butts up against the next, taking up every permitted inch of land. The divided roads are populated with nature strips; trees planted equidistant from the next, their leaves that particularly Australian shade of olive drab. For two hundred years, this land was used as a quarry, but in 2004 it became a new suburb, and these were the residential developments that soon followed. Granata’s has been part of the Pemulwuy landscape for six years. Run by the...

4.5/5 I've never been to Granata's before and I've never heard of the suburb Pemulwuy before. Although after posting photos on instagram, several friends reached out saying they have been to Granata's before with recommendation. Granata's is an Italian restaurant full of the family recipes including Grandma's secret recipes. How intriguing!

Friendly staff. Good for a casual coffee date. Some days are better than others in regards to wait times food. Overall food is nice, nothing spectacular about it... Never had a bad meal though! Prices are reasonable too. Staff always quick to help.. would I recommend? Yes:

Overall: Visited this cafe this morning and was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend visiting this cafe if you're in the area! Atmosphere: They play groovy tunes if that's your thing from Michael Jackson classics to early 2000s Black Eyed Peas hits. Interior was ambient, simplistically decorated and inviting, as there is open access for those who like to watch the chef's cook. Staff: Waitress es were very polite, welcoming and presentable. Food Coffee: Ordered the Eggs Benny with salmon and really enjoyed it. The coffee is quite good they use Vittoria branded beans, and costs $4 for a classic coffee (Cappuccino Latte Flat White) with $0.50 for extras: soy, decaf etc. They also have coconut milk if you're open to trying something new!Cost: Overall $32 for two people inclusive of breakfast meals and coffees.

I came here for my morning coffee and treat.Located in the housing area, street parking was easy to find.Coffee was great, from Vittoria.I chose Nutella bombolene and it didn’t disappoint. The Nutella filling was quite generous even though I wished the dough was softer).Might try their lunch/dinner menu next time.
