WOW, absolutely amazing cakes, bread and lunch options. Upon entrance we were greeted by friendly staff and a stunning collection of meticulously decorated cakes, slices and the smell of freshly baked bread was heavenly. My family is very fussy with their food we critique based on presentation, taste and delivery and we weren't disappointed one bit.
We had the Club Sandwich and I had the Thyme Mushrooms which was just delicious, portions were very generous which was nice to see too. The coffee was made to perfection also with beautiful milk art to finish off our lovely wholesome lunch.
The only concern I had was the hygiene of food sitting uncovered close to tables but I appreciated the oven to plate concept which I loved and makes it look homemade and rustic!!
I look forward to my next visit to Belgrave, it's a place I will definitely recommend to many family & friends.
Thank You for making our trip to the Tesselaar Tulip Festival a memorable one...����
Best coffee in town and the cakes and pastries are to die for. My nephew said “best burger I’ve ever eaten, best restaurant he’s been to!”
Owned and run by lovely local family who actively care for the community and even organise ‘run for the hills’ fundraiser as well as endless donations to worthy causes!
This bakery makes the best bread in all the land seriously it’s amazing. Which is why it’s so hard to understand why their burgers are so awful I really don’t get it. They are sloppy and wet and tasteless. I wish they could improve this as their bakery is of a very high standard.
Had two of "The Blacksmith burger" and OMG amazing!! Other burger joints hardly fill their burgers yet charge a fortune but this one was soo full that bits would be literally falling out as you ate (in a good way) and was worth the price ($16.50 each). Everything was cooked to perfection including the chips that came with a delicious garlic aioli. Worth the trip!
Great burgers, great service and that shake is to die for!
We came here the other day for a lunch date. The meals were delicious and the staff were friendly and quick to deliver our meals. We spent $29.67 for the meals and drinks. The cappuccino and hot chocolate was nice. The decor of the place was very interesting, we liked to read what happened on the old newspapers being displayed behind the table glass.
We came to this busy little cafe for breakfast & it was a great find. We ordered baa baa Benny & firey Benny with a side of chips & two lattes. The kids saw the little toy corner which was great & meant we could have breakfast in peace. The firey Benny was good but the spicy salsa with hollandaise sauce overpowered the whole dish & I wish there wasn’t so much of it. The baa baa benny was faultless. The coffees were just spot on. The service was ok & they were a bit busy. We would definitely come back!
I stopped in to try out their new burger menu and was definitely impressed.
The Blacksmith Burger ($16.50)
8.5/10
This is a big burger, it will fill you up. Meat patty was very tender with lots of cheese. I’m not usually a fan of egg on burgers but it’s a good addition to the aioli, cheese & bacon combo. The tomato relish doesn’t really seem like it fits with the rest of the burger, I think lettuce/tomato and a good BBQ sauce would make it a much better burger …..but I still loved it and will probably order it again.
Sweet Potato Wedges w/paprika aioli ($8)
9.5/10
The test of good fries/wedges is that they don’t need sauce…and these Sweet potato wedges smash that test, some of the best I’ve had. They come in a big serving size, plenty for 2 people and the aioli is really tasty.
Overall – Very tasty and high quality burger menu, generous servings and reasonably priced. Check this place out if you want a good burger in the south east.
We went for a drive to Belgrave the other weekend to visit the Puffing Billy and also check out the Black Smith Bakery. We loved how wholesome everything was and the display of house made cake, pastries and bread made me so excited. We sat down for brunch and was taken aback but also happy at how large the portions were. The food was very simple but flavours were hearty and honest, the burger buns are also house made and my friend loved the black bun brioche. After our meal we also took away the lemon checkered tart as well as the passionfruit cheesecake, priced at such a reasonable price , if you swing by you must give these sweet treats a try !
Thanks so much for having us

I’m loving these warm days of early spring and we got to enjoy the drive out to Belgrave to day to try out the menu at The Blacksmith Bakery. Being kid morning on a weekday the cafe was full of
Mothers and babies but we were able to grab a booth and ordered up a storm from an interesting menu.
As I walked to the counter to place my order I couldn’t go past the freshly baked Cinnamon scrolls without being tempted so one of th se came out first and was fresh with a brioche interior and a lovely flakey croissant exterior, drizzled with icing.
We had this with a Chai coconut latte, this flavour sensation was full of spice with a slight chilli after burn. A real winner.
Our skinny latte was full flavoured and deliciously hot just the way I like it.
Our brunch mains today consisted of The Hangover & The Apple Crumble Porridge.
The hangover consisted of flavour packed mushrooms, scrambled eggs, maple bacon, a drizzle of a light holandaise and a tomato relish that brings it all together. The black brioche bun that it was served on looked and tasted terrific. The mushroom last were very flavoursome and I enjoyed the sweet maple bacon.
The Apple Crumble Porridge was a vanilla and coconut porridge, cleverly paired with a cinnamon & seed crumb, dollops of lemon gel and lightly poached apple and strawberries. Not only was this pretty dish delicious without mixing all of the elements, it was absolutely delicious when all incorporated. I love the porridge combinations this round in the colder seasons but will be a shame to say goodbye when the warmer weather arrives.
We finished our brunch with a Mango smoothly. Mango isn’t in season yet but this was a nice smoothie non the less and was dairy free but still smooth and creamy. It wasn’t overly sugar strong so was a nice way to finish the meal.
Thanks to the team for great service for inviting us in to try the menu here.

I was thrilled to be invited to Blacksmith. Initially I was perturbed by the distance but realised I’m willing to travel that far towards the city to brunch in South Yarra why not travel the same length of time away from the city and avoid traffic altogether. You can always make a day of it exploring the pretty region and it’s definitely an experience in and of itself visiting this cafe.
Brunch slash burgers slash French patisserie was an intriguing proposition. Certainly they do two of them well (we didn’t try the burgers) and it’s fabulous to see such high caliber desserts in suburban areas. There was fresh bread and croissants aplenty and such a decadent array of cakes I wondered how I would possibly choose.
This is a order and pay at the counter set up and we were lucky to be one of the first to try the new menu. We started with coffee and the mulled apple cider (non alcoholic) this was a great choice for Melbourne winter and tasted like Christmastime.
We chose the hashtag benny and rainbow road. I liked that we were given proper knives to cut through the yummy sourdough. This aptly named colourful dish was a vibrant combination of beetroot purée, smashed avocado, cherry tomatoes, feta and roast pumpkin. Very tasty. My husband enjoyed his Benedict but we did say no bacon jam and unfortunately it came with. Not sure why this has happened twice to us this weekend but it’s quite upsetting if you are vegetarian or don’t eat bacon for religious reasons.
We pretty much forgave them the bacon on account of the pure indulgence that was the cake selection. We were able to try the lemon tart, salted caramel peanut, lemon checkers (lemon curd, white chocolate and raspberry jelly), the Black Forest tart, the pear frangipane and the raspberry mousse dome with passionfruit and mango jelly. Spectacular would be an understatement. These stunningly presented cakes were perhaps eclipsed only by their unbelievably delicious taste. So many perfect textures working with all the flavours from rich and creamy chocolate mousses to zingy lemony curds to perfectly balanced berry jellies. Well worth the journey, even if you are coming from interstate I’d wager
Bhudda bowl!
Super flavoursome
Perfect little cafe to go into after a walk of the Dandenongs. Very warm and inviting
Also a great selection of fresh bread and pastries.
Fast service and great coffee.
Definitely enjoy my experience here
