Tucked into the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park lobby, The Gallery Grab & Go might just be your new early morning pitstop or afternoon pick-me-up. Whether you're an office worker on the move or a hotel guest easing into the day, this spot will serve top-notch coffee, just-baked pastries, breakfast staples and even full-sized cakes from the Elizabeth Street entrance.

To celebrate the launch, The Gallery Grab & Go has created a special once-off giveaway set to get pastry fans crowding into the lobby. From 8am on Thursday, June 26, the cafe is handing out 500 honey-soaked cronuts for free, undoubtedly making your usually tired work commute a little sweeter.

These are no ordinary cronuts, either. Created by Head Pastry Chef and 2024 Associate of the Year Julie Hoang, the sticky goodness soaking its golden, flaky layers is derived from the hotel's very own bee colony. Five stories up on the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park rooftop, over 120,000 bees thrive in sustainably sourced timber hives.

The hotel's location is a happy hunting ground for this troupe of pollinators. With a roaming radius of five kilometres, the adjacent expanse of Hyde Park offers abundant pollen and nectar to fuel their work back in the hive. In fact, the hotel's bees produce up to 450 kilograms of honey annually, contributing to the hotel's sustainability goals.

In the kitchen, Hoang uses the rooftop harvest to produce a luscious orange blossom honey syrup. After drenching the cronuts, each layer is filled with Chantilly cream and topped with toasted pistachio, making for a lavish morning bite. Now you're invited to experience it for yourself for free, but just for one day only.

While a few hundred cronuts are up for grabs, don't expect these decadent treats to last long. Instead, start your day a little earlier than usual by hoofing it to The Gallery Grab & Go in the hotel lobby. Consider ordering a barista-made coffee during your visit and check out what other culinary delights await.

The Gallery Grab & Go's 500 cronut giveaway is happening from 8am on Thursday, June 26 at the Elizabeth Street entrance of the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park. Head to the website for more information.
