Chasing Your Perfect Café Moment & Celebrating Your Support
To me, the perfect café experience isn't a finished product; it's a feeling we relentlessly chase every single day. It’s why you may notice when I’m in the cafe, I’m always looking over the room to make sure things are right, and also to get a sense of what could be even better. It’s a constant barrage in my mind: "How does this moment feel, and how can we make it better next time?" It's a passion I want my entire team to share – that drive to always push, to find that next improvement, and to believe that our best is still ahead of us.
The Aussie Grind team is so absorbed in chasing what's next that we rarely get a moment to look back.
"The other morning, while frantically sifting through my inbox, I spotted an old email from Yelp - we’d made 2024’s Top 100 Places to Brunch in Texas! I’d honestly forgotten about it in the daily rush, but revisiting it that morning sent me straight back to 2020, when we hit #23 on Yelp’s list of the Top 100 Places to Eat in the entire United States." At the time, we were just trying to get our name out there and keep our heads above water! We never imagined that our little Australian cafe in Frisco, built on the dream of serving Australian style brunch, would get a nod on a national scale.
That early recognition, and the awards that followed in 2021, 2022, and 2023, have always felt like a direct reflection of your support. These honors were driven by your reviews for brunch, and we are so humbled that you’ve chosen to make our tables the backdrop for your weekend catch-ups and celebrations.
To us, these awards are not a collection of old accolades. It’s a story. It’s the story of a community that embraced a couple of noisy Aussies (enter Angie and I) and made this place a true Aussie hub. It’s the legacy of friendships formed over flat whites and the buzz of conversation that fills the room. It's witnessing when you connect with friends, old and new, and making this a home away from home.
These recognitions don't live in a trophy case; they live in the spirit of this café. They remind us of our promise to you: to always be a place of real connection, honest food (like our classic Aussie meat pies), and exceptional coffee.
So, this is a very heartfelt thank you. Thank you for being with us since day one. Thank you for cheering us on, for holding us to a high standard, and for making our café a genuine piece of your lives. The best award we could ever receive is the privilege of being your go-to spot for brunch
Cheers to you, our community. You’re the reason we get to do what we love.
