My Grandma Ben

My Grandma Ben is a sustainably focused café and workshop space listed in Hindmarsh, Adelaide, with its café located inside Plant 4 in nearby Bowden. It serves coffee, all-day brunch, changing daily lunch specials and booze, making it suited to a relaxed meal, a casual catch-up or a drink alongside a visit to the market-style precinct.

The venue’s food and drink offering changes with the seasons, so the current café menu may vary. Its distinctive focus is on preserving traditions and produce: the team is regularly pickling, fermenting and preserving something new for guests to try. Visitors can also shop the full MGB Pickle Co range in-store, giving the café a retail element beyond the usual meal or coffee stop.

There is space to sit indoors or outdoors, and the website says walk-ins are generally accommodated within Plant 4, while bookings are welcome for café visits. The café also hosts hands-on workshops, creating another way to engage with the ideas behind the venue. With its flexible food offering, workshop program and accessible seating, My Grandma Ben suits solo coffee visits, small groups and casual daytime outings. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, according to the venue’s website.
