Movie Night Canceled

Monday, September 5th, 2011

As you might know we had a movie night planned at Urban Grind for this Wednesday night. The bad news is that the organiser has decided not to go ahead. The good news is that you can still watch this amazing documentary online for free. Watch HOME online for free.

Home is a 2009 documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film is almost entirely composed of aerial shots of various places on Earth. It shows the diversity of life on Earth and how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet. Source: Wikipedia

All Of Us Together

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

So we opened on Tuesday and the response over the first two days has been amazing. A really lovely experience. So many of our wonderful customers from the last Paddington shop have been in to visit us that it’s as though we only shut last week and simply re-opened this week in a new spot. When in fact it will be 3 years in April since we left Paddington.

Two more sleeps…

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

You may have heard the rumours. Urban Grind is reopening in Paddington on the 1st of Feb. It’s going to be just like the last Paddington Urban Grind only better. At home we have it nicknamed Urban Grind 2.0, which is a bit geeky but hey, we are really tired. So it’s at 131 Latrobe Tce and we hope to see you really soon. More updates once I get some sleep. Thanks

Suburban Grind

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

So we have been working on a little side project Rach and I, as we nurture our hopes and dreams of reopening Urban Grind one day.

It all started when we realised that we had a virtual cafe under the house and we could just plug the coffee machine in, put stools down the driveway and invite our family, friends and the old Urban Grinders that we knew how to get in contact with. Due to a great suggestion by a friend of ours Yen, we invited the neighbours in our street too. It was also Yen that suggested we take it on the road. Suburban Grind seemed like a perfect name. Called some friends and managed to get support from my Di Bella Coffee, Barambah Organics, Total Generators and map magazine and in no time we were serving free cafe style coffee in another good friends sisters garage.

Want to know more? Want to have Suburban Grind come to your house? Check out the website generously designed by this young fellow.

A big thanks to everyone that has helped us get it this far.

The Story of Bottled Water

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

I promise that the next Urban Grind will not sell bottled water. I have cared about this for a while and it is time I got serious about it too. The whole bottled water thing really is crazy. Just the price we pay is crazy enough. But thanks (again) to Annie Leonard we have a great little animation that spells out the situation to make it easy for us to make the decision to stop drinking bottled water. I really do hope that you check out The Story of Bottled Water. I also can’t wait to see a Doco called Tapped on the same subject.
