I popped in by chance here because it was near a parking spot right across the way. In today's economy I like to support independent businesses. And Steven the barista and the owner. is very polite and very friendly and made in my awesome coffee. They were running a special on Breaky and the coffee. Ended up spinning over an hour there as I was working on a presentation.Thank you much Steven.

It's a family affair at this Balmain Street nook, which is brought to us by Sam and Chelsea. Sam managed to reel his dad in after semi-retiring, along with mum and his partner's sister! Hence the name - home being a reference to the venue feeling like home because you're surrounded by family, and ground alluring to the delicious coffee that's put through the grinder 7 days a week! I love that they have a 'home ground advantage', living across the street from the cafe, and a stone's throw from the MCG. Even better- they're a family of Richmond FC supporters, so they're right at home! Once lockdown ends we'll be able to sit in the modern designed dining area that looks out onto a private garden and pool area for the neighbouring apartments. Locals are already loving the coffee from Symmetry, as well as the opportunity to enjoy quality single-origin beans that rotate weekly. Their current El Salvador Finca Himalaya Natural tastes like Nutella and Baked Apple. There are plans in the works to serve alcohol, with a long term vision to open in the afternoon for footy crowds wanting a hotdog and beer, or a pie and chips before the game.
