Everyone needs to head down to Little Woodpecker for an awesome, delicious, authentic brunch! The eastern suburbs have finally delivered a healthy, trendy brunch place, so you no longer have to travel to find great food! Be sure to try their raw deserts which are refined sugar, gluten & dairy free! Thank you for such an amazing experience, the staff are just lovely x
The Little Woodpecker is my favourite cafe!! I drive half an hour to have their food and coffee, sometimes only going just for sweets. Not only does it have a cute design, delicious food and coffee, but the staff and owners are wonderful too. It's the perfect cafe!
We ordered the Avo and his Lebanese mates dish and the smoked salmon special. Both dishes were light, healthy and refreshing. Just what I need. I also had the B1 and B2 smoothie. $9 was a bit pricey for a smoothie and it tasted a bit warm when drinking. Instagram @flabnbone_food
First time visiting this cafe as I wanted to check out a new cafe in this area! The decor is very cute and inviting, with lovely staff.
You are spoilt with choice on the menu from sweet dishes to tasty savoury breakfast and lunch options. I went for a sweet dish, the French toast which was different to others I have previously tried. It had a middle eastern vibe as it was served with a fig and honey glaze, coconut ice cream, chocolate spread and sprinkled with nuts and berries.
My mum has the crumpets which she enjoyed however were slightly over toasted but still nice.
We both had a latte in a mug which was perfect and strong!
My partner and I love this place! Casual and pretty space with heaps and delicious vegetarian and vegan menu options.
We most recently got the chilli scramble, french toast and fritters - all amazing. Thanks to the kitchen for the always interesting seasonal menu too!
⭐️ Sunday Funday Brunch! ⭐️
On a scorching 40 degree day, we found this little cafe in Blackburn, hoping to find a refreshing meal!
Meal: Brunch
Ordered: The Nut Cracker and Transformer
We ordered the ‘The Nut Cracker’ which was a Bircher muesli with coconut yoghurt and seasonal fruits. Very yummy and refreshing which went down really well on a hot summers day! The transformer was effectively a tasting plate with smashed avo, fresh OJ and the Nut cracker. Very yummy meal which left us very satisfied. Thanks for the meal guys! Would definitely recommend!
This cafe in Blackburn North is tucked away in a residential area, you wouldn’t think too much of it when driving past but they have a great menu with all your breakfast classics and some inventive dishes. I ordered the ‘transformer’ which combines two of their dishes - the house made coconut rice pudding and smashed avocado salsa on sourdough bread (I added a poached egg). It comes served on a platter with a glass of fresh pressed orange juice. I also had a turmeric latte which was great. I really enjoyed breakfast at this cafe.
Cute little local cafe off Blackburn Rd. Ingredients seem to be mostly locally sourced. Most dishes on the menu are vegetarian/vegan? But you can add your thick cut bacon lol. Will come back.
The cafe is charming, great service, good coffee, only bad thing was that the rice porridge was only slightly warm, rather than hot, it went cold very very quickly as the pear on top must have come straight from the fridge. Excited to try some other things on the menu
Awesome food. Not a huge menu and more breakfasty than lunchy, but superbly cooked and good prices. In a quiet nondescript shopping strip smack in the middle of residential - not on a main road so if you didn’t know it you’d never go past it, but worth turning off for. Delicious food.
Greeted warmly by staff on our way through the door, we were seated in the very clean and well-presented space and the atmosphere was very relaxed and not too loud.
I was excited to see what was offered in the way of meat-free and dairy-free selections on the menu and I was very pleasantly surprised. The menu has been crafted with care and at a glance it seems it would not fail to appeal people with all sorts of dietary requirements (or none).
I tasted a burger, a falafel dish with salad, and stuffed mushrooms. All were unique dishes that I was very impressed with - the falafels were my favourite. All in all, the dishes certainly hit the spot for me.
To have such a number of unique and interesting, non-copycat items available on the menu is a massive plus for Little Woodpecker in today's fresh and healthy food landscape - even the sweeter selection of treats were impressive; I'm talking about some of the best banana bread in the universe here.
Go there and try it out.
Been here twice now and both times were wonderful - really fresh produce, tasty combos, lots of vego options, great coffee. The staff were lovely and was a really cute looking cafe. I will be back :)
Finally there is a decent cafe in Donny east region! Not saying others are not good but this one definitely stands out and can be compared with those big names in the city.
The house blend coffee (I had long black), has a very nice sugarcane fragrance. It’s border line between espresso and long black! Rather nice!
Food was also interesting and generous. Very yummy and the ingredients are fresh, unconventional!
Best part is, every table around me is praising how good their dishes are! This is a gem in the suburb! Hallelujah!!
Another cool little cafe located in a residential area. Love the vibe and friendly staff. I came to try mama Vicki’s meatballs but it was sold out. Nooo,!!!!! both my second and third choices, “salami get this straight” and “gozleme”, were also sold out.
This cafe is a gorgeous little gem in Blackburn North, with almost the entire menu able to be veganised (happy days!!). The staff are super friendly & helpful, & happy to offer suggestions if you are really struggling to choose between the delicious options on offer. Listen to their advice - it is invariably excellent! The soy lattes are delicious too.
Great coffee and friendly service. Little Woodpecker is very popular with the locals. The meals have been very good and generous servings. Enjoyed the Spanish Harlem (Omelette) 28/6/21...beautiful 👍
Really nice local cafe, coffee used to be really good but recently the coffee standards have dropped, hopefully they can fix that up.
Delicious vegan friendly menu and the vegan pastries are 10/10! Can't wait to come back again and again
Quiet little cafe amongst suburbia. Hipster decor. Excellent coffee but food is a little overpriced.
Gipsy Kings (Baked eggs) - don't be surprised if you can't find your eggs. They mix it in so it cooks quicker. Loved the chillies in this - most of the seeds taken out so it's not too hot.
When in Rome (avo/mush/tomato on toast) but stingy on the toppings for two pieces of toast.
