A LITTLE BIT MORE
A new addition to the bustling foodie hotspot of Potts Point, The Grumpy Baker Potts Point is a busy café and bakery where by day locals grab coffee and pastries to go through a hole-in-the-wall opening, or settle into indoor and alfresco seating for breakfast or brunch, and in evenings transforms into a relaxed dinner destination serving Middle Eastern mezze and specialty cocktails in dimly lit wine bar-vibing surrounds.
