Nestled on Richmond Road in a cute strip of black and white-themed businesses is Grato - next to the Trelise Cooper Outlet store.
It's a humble cafe with Italian flare and a big heart. Meaning 'grateful', Grato serves cabinet favourites, Mamma’s meatballs or try something more exotic from the bruschetta menu; raspberry and vanilla ricotta with honey or lemon ricotta with a chilli fried egg, all while drinking the bold flavours of Allpress coffee.
