The Grounds Coffee Factory
A working coffee roastery in the South Eveleigh rail precinct that turns into a striking evening event space, with a mezzanine and rooftop.
About The Grounds Coffee Factory
The Coffee Factory is the newest event space in The Grounds portfolio and one of the more unusual indoor wedding venues in Sydney. By day it is a state-of-the-art coffee roastery in the South Eveleigh rail precinct; by night it becomes an arresting space for celebrations.
The main floor has the feel of a grand central station, with impressively high ceilings and art deco railway heritage, while the roasting machinery makes a backdrop like no other. An open kitchen faces into the dining space, there is a stunning coffee bar, and the mezzanine and rooftop give guests room to roam. It suits long-table dinners and cocktail gatherings.
The main floor seats 50 to 80 guests for a long-table dinner and holds 50 to 200 for a cocktail reception, with the flexible open-plan layout allowing a range of configurations. The space is available Monday to Sunday for evening events, and sits in the South Eveleigh precinct with easy access by train, rideshare and car.
With the open kitchen and coffee bar at its centre, the venue lends itself to interactive food experiences, from roving canapés and shared plates to grazing stations and dessert canapés. Climate control keeps it comfortable year round, and the multiple breakout spaces, including the mezzanine level and the rooftop, give a smaller wedding room to breathe.
The Grounds events team runs every wedding, with their own catering, drinks and styling, and their in-house AV supplier on hand for anything beyond the basic onsite setup. It is a fit for couples wanting a smaller, characterful reception in the city, and one of the more unique wedding venues in Sydney.

Came early on Sunday morning for breakfast, and I noticed that almost half the people seemed to be visitors from other suburbs, like me, exploring the area for the first time and taking photos. I really love the Eveleigh. It has such a cool, creative atmosphere, with the great architecture…
Read full review on Google →This coffee shop is serious. It’s massive but the demand is off the charts. So many beans and sweets to pick from. Go early though or it gets slammed. I tried the Colombian experimental one and it had lots of watermelon and candy taste to it. Definitely an interesting infusion. The pancakes were…
