Blackwork is a little coffee aficionados oasis in Croydon...but they haven't just stopped there they've also provided some of the most quality tea experiences in the eastern-suburbs.
The owners are super friendly and make you feel welcome the moment you walk into the space and the food really does need to be tasted to truly understand the nuances of the flavours that are packed in.
Specialty Coffee, Specialty Tea, Quality, flavour packed food thats a little of what you know you feel like and a whole lot of what you never even knew existed is the jewel in the crown of Croydon's cafe scene.
Full vegan options along with locally sourced products means everyone is catered for (even the kids menu for those adults that can't quite get through a full-sized meal).
This place is the best cafe in Croydon. The food and coffee is always amazing and changes frequently giving you something new and exciting each visit. Best part about this beautiful cafe is the staff who are all friendly and welcoming.
Had to try out blackwork a few weeks ago due to loving their sister cafe, RBCF in Lilydale, and although the food we ordered (pictured is Moroccan lamb and avo on toast) was fairly tasty, the milkshakes we ordered didn’t quite live up to my expectations as they were on the gritty side. However, will still be going back to try more of the menu!
I loved everything about Blackwork, it's the perfect place for locals to catch up, with such great food. the menu provides great options for vegan and boy did they deliver with the flavours. 💯💯
I had the Open Morrocan Lamb, Super Bowl and Coconut pancake.
all three dishes were superb, Super Bowl and the coconut pancake were vegan, and tasted amazing! the coconut pancake is a must for all you sweet tooth out there!
PS I've now been here twice within the month!!
A great venue to catch up with friends over coffee. Their menu is also really good and the food presentation is so on point 👌
What I ordered:
Open Moroccan lamb, house smoked salmon benny, coconut pancake (ve)
The open Moroccan lamb dish was super flavourful and the lamb was really tender! Loved that it came with pita bread to scoop up all the sauce.
The smoked salmon Benny was delicious too - the hollandaise was on the lighter side making it less rich and they were very generous with the charred greens.
The coconut pancake is a must try - it was fluffy and had really nice crispy edges. The coconut lychee ice cream was really refreshing too!
Loved the ambience here and the staff are very friendly. High quality menu and the apple crumble hot cakes are a must order (did I mention it is vegan too!)
Always a nice place to head to for breakfast and brunch. The coffee is good and the dishes are presented well. The food is fresh and flavoursome. The shakshouka was great with the lamb. The hotcake was lovely and fluffy. It was nice with the extra syrup too.
We thank Blackwork Croydon for our yummy brunch. All of our opinions are genuine and are based on our experience at the time of our visit
Staff very attentive and great food options. Much welcome addition to your area!
Service was quick & the staff were super friendly. Special mention to the ‘lamb shakshouka’ it was absolutely delicious 🤤 The coffee was fantastic! The food was absolutely amazing, highly recommend! ☕️🙌🏼
Amazing little hidden gem. I dined here for lunch and was really pleased with the service and quality of food. Nothing was a problem. The food really was to die for, the pork baos & salmon were perfect and the apple crumble hotcake was amazing!!! Definitely try!
Welcoming staff with a cute set up cafe. All dishes ordered were delicious and a perfect not too hot or cold hot chocolate. Apple pancakes are a must have !
We all had a great meal for brunch. Highly recommended. included Cold Soba Noodle Salad, Vegan Nutrition Bowl & mix of sides - roast tomatoes, hash brown, greens and mushrooms.
A great cafe with ample seating both inside and outside.
The cafe can get really busy so ensure you book in advance. A decent selection of food to choose from. We choose the eggs benedict and the pulled beef and they were delicious. The portions are quite generous.
Staff are attentive and friendly. Plenty of car park available.
Must visit cafe in Croydon! Great food and amazing coffee, highly recommend the bone broth soup and the wagyu steak sandwich! Those two are absolutely sensational 🔥
After visiting many cafes across the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, and not being wowed by any particular dish, and putting up with the same stock standard salmon or beef eggs benedict, I visited for the first time this cafe in Croydon and tried the Pulled Beef Benedict, WOW! Where to begin... the presentation blew me away, and I did wonder where the beef was... But once I cut inside this "creation" it was all there. Incredibly well crafted on every detail, the flavour combinations, creativity, and overall structure left me very, very impressed and satisfied! The freshest beef, and best hollandaise sauce I've ever had, and with the mandarin and beetroot chips, simply divine! I'll be back! :) PS: Great service and nice coffee too.
Cute little spot in Croydon. We ordered Chilli prawn scramble, the Pulled beef benedict & coffee. Great presentation but poor portion size to the price paid comparison to other brunch spots. Staff was great, attentive and welcoming. Plenty of parking space. Overall an OK experience.
It’s a really busy cafe with a generally young crowd but we easily found ourselves absorbed in the vibe
The food was great, coffee could have been hotter but was decent enough for a casual brunch
Charming little cafe with terrific coffee, including Proud Mary filter coffee.
We visited Blackwork regularly during lockdown for their tasty takeaway options. Now that we can eat in again, the chili prawn scramble is a highlight.
