Outstanding food! If you want a T bone, gravy and chips walk the other way but if you want vibrant, delicious healthy food for breakfast or lunch then this is easily the best place in the Shire and I would suggest the best I've had anywhere.
Very inventive menu chocked full of utterly delicious dishes. I'm working my way through the menu and each dish I've tried would bring me back let alone the excitement of trying a new dish.
I'll finish as I started "Outstanding!!"
This was my first visit to "the pantry" and it was awesome!!
The basil yoghurt, fruit & granola was without a doubt THE best I've ever tasted!! ���
Blown away by how that combo even worked?! �
Poached eggs & toast for my doggy - which she smashed! Lol �
To top it off the 2 waitresses that I encountered were so lovely - sadly I didn't catch their names (both had dark hair & killer tans lol)
...the only downside was the construction noise next door
I got the octopus and a cappuccino and both tasted really good. Loved the baba ganoush and the middle eastern flavours. However, waited about 30minutes for a table and food was slow.

1) Quinoa Falafel Bowl - It sounds like a simple dish but had the respect and finese for the veg, It wasn't an overly dressed salad but still enough so you weren't eat plain raw veges. Everything worked so that it was a clean light tasting salad (except for that chutney on the avo, threw off the flavour of the salad)
2) Nourish Bowl - A very clean tasting bowl where the flavours were simple but executed well. I don't feel like cinnamon and sweet potato is a flavour combo so I didn't quite understand that element
Drove 50min from Sydney on Saturday morning to have brunch there and it was worthy
We ordered octopus, fried quinoa and morning glory. Everything was delicious and portion of food was huge.
The sweet potato was so tasty and the grapes in the octopus were amazing.
The cafe was quite busy but the service was great.
Fantastic place to experience hearty and healthy food. Tried the sweet potato and carrot fritters with one of their house made juices. Absolutely amazing! I would have again no problems. Service was friendly and professional too. Located in a laneway so no traffic to compete with. Highly recommended.
Wonderful flavours on their take on the “Avo on toast”. Well presented and fast service. Only negative was when I first walked in, there wasn’t a clear indication from either one of the two staff behind the counter (who were chatting to each other) so I just walked to a table and sat down. However once seated the service was prompt.
Went to Blackwood Pantry for lunch yesterday and was immensely impressed 🤩 The food is so creative but yet still delicious. There are so many options on the menu to choose from and the restaurant is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. 🥦 However the restaurant overall is a bit pricey and there is a bit of a wait for a table and for your food.
Overall, I throughly recommend this restaurant but the best idea would be to go on a weekday and not at around 11am. 🥰

Be prepare for the loooooong queue as this one totally the best cafe at Cronulla. Waiting for 45 minutes in the rainy day and it’s totally worth it. Love the place, ambience and their warm hearted food and drink. Simple yet delicious.
COCONUT HOTCAKE ($19) – Fresh blueberries & pomegranate, passionfruit curd, sliced coconut. For the dessert lovers out there, I assure you that this is the best soury taste dishes you’ve ever tasted in your life. The combination of the sweet hotcake and the passionfruit curd make this dish to die for! (9/10)
OAT, GARLIC & HERB CRUMBED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL served with roasted Jerusalem artichokes and a truffled kohlrabi slaw. As it is the new menu, so we don’t know the exact price. For the taste, I think it is one of the most delicious chicken schnitzel we have ever taste in Sydney because not only does the chicken taste good but the sides enhance the flavour of the chicken. (9/10)
MUSHROOM BRUSCHETTA ($19) – Sauteed mushrooms, hummus, whipped goats cheese, crispy chickpeas, pinenuts, fresh rocket with garlic truffle oil on toasted. If you are a big mushroom fan, this one is suitable for you. This dish holds both flavour and texture because usually mushroom dishes are soggy but in here, you get the crispiness from the chickpeas and pinenuts that make this dish beautiful! (8/10)
MORNING GLORY ($21) – Soft boiled egg, chorizo, tandoori roasted sweet potato, kale, pickled red onion, whipped goat cheese and avocado. If you’re looking for a complete breakfast, then you should order this. The components of this dish are so many that you wouldn’t get bored eating it! (8/10)
Their specials dishes of the day: HUMBLE CRUMBLE ($15) – baked coconut crumble with pineapple, strawberry and vanilla served with a fresh vanilla bean whipped cream. And we’re lucky enough because it’s only available at weekend. This dish is like a replication of the apple crumble but all the components are different, the taste is also on another level as it tastes different every time you eat it. (9/10)
HOT MASALA CHAI LATTE ($4) – So, masala chai latte is brewing black tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs like cardamom, black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, star anise and vanilla mixed with milk. Not all cafe could make a good chai latte. The proportion of its element is important to make the great one and Blackwood pantry could delivered a perfect masala chai latte! Love it! (10/10)
I love this brunch place - the food is wholesome, delicious and in very hearty portion sizes. I had the morning glory bowl with poached eggs and a cappuccino. I also love that it’s so close to the beach, so we went for a refreshing coastal wall to walk off the food afterwards.
4.5/5
Love the menu and vibe here. The falafel salad and big brekkie is very sastifying. However I wish there’s less rocket/leaves :p
I would love to try more from the menu.
Happy with our experience.
Pretty busy and fast paced cafe in Cronulla. Many locals and the staff are well trained. I ordered “Morning Glory” w mushroom on the side. So the portion makes more sense. It was good but the price is a bit much. Just the morning glory by itself was $21 and plus mushrooms $6. For the drink, I had Chai Latte. To my surprise, it was served unfiltered. So I had to filter it myself and it became no froth. Disappointed as I like frothy hot drinks.
The food were excellent! And the service was equally exceptional. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One of us told the staff that we were informally celebrating a birthday and they brought out a mini cake for her and didn't even charge us for it!
It's baby friendly, too.
Fair warning: the portion is quite generous, too.🙂
Delicious breakfast 😋. Tucked away in Surf lane, you can't miss it with the crowds hanging to get a seat and a coffee. We didn't have a reservation and were seated in 20 mins or so. The food was amazing, really clean fresh flavours and served quickly considering how busy it was. The staff were chatty and had time to have a laugh at the table. Very nice 👌🏼, will eat again.
Great ambience. We were served by a very friendly lady with a warm greeting once we sat down. Food & coffee are on points. Worth for our one hour drive! Will come back!
Beautiful truffle chili eggs on sourdough, flavoursome chai tea and fantastic hot cake with coconut flakes... Loved it. I wish they'd be located in a place looking at ocean views, that would be perfect!
Delicious and healthy breakfast! Coffee is great. Super friendly staff definitely give this place a try, you won't be disappointed
Love the vibes of this place. The food here was too good. Absolutely going there again. Had an amazing brunch on Sunday.
Overall a good café, food and drinks presented beautifully! However, can get quite busy which understandably does lead to some longer wait times and service issues.
Food is colourful, flavourful and generous! Staff are friendly and accommodating. One of the wait staff started chatting to us as helped me decide between two dishes I was tossing up between and I was so happy with her recommendation. I'm a regular happy customer.
