Steel & Grind

Steel & Grind is a cool, construction themed café serving coffee and crepes from a hidden location on Logan Road in Mt Gravatt.

Found at the end of a laneway, this bunker-style cafe features concrete flooring, steel grey walls and custom made industrial furniture. The coffee on offer is a signature blend crafted by Merlo. 

The all-day menu includes sweet and savoury crepes, toasties and açaí bowls. Sweet crepes include lemon and sugar, banana and Nutella, and strawberries and salted caramel (with cream &/or ice cream), while savoury range from ham and cheese to the Full Load with triple smoked ham, vine-ripened tomatoes, free range egg and cheese. Açaí bowls, made with almond milk or coconut water, include purple (açaí, mixed berries, banana, mango & Brazil nuts), yellow (açaí, pineapple, mango, banana & medjool dates) and black (açaí, banana, cacao powder & peanut butter).

Besides coffee, Steel & Grind makes scrumptious smoothies like the healthy, highly-recommended Green Smoothie with kale, spinach, banana, mango and chia seeds.
