We had our Christmas breakfast there. Because of the amount of people, we pre-ordered. Everything went without a hitch. Everyone got what they ordered, the food was yummy and the coffee is great. Not one person had a bad word to say about the meal. The staff were friendly and efficient. Highly recommend and will be back..
Absolutely love this place- the decor, food, coffee, friendly staff and over all vibe of the cafe is just ace.
Love bringing my friends and family here to try it out and it never disappoints.
Salmon stack is my fave �
Can you believe it took me this long to make it to @blackelk_espresso?!
It's a popular cafe in the area and I will definitely be back to try their sweeter brunch dishes. This cafe is usually very busy on the weekends but everyone is willing to wait, just to give you an indication of how great it is 😏
I ordered the lamb salad which not only pops with colour but also pops with flavour! So refreshing, which is perfect for our hot weather recently! Make friends with salad 🤪🥗
The Salmon Eggs Benny; loved the flavour but I wish the bread wasn't sweet. It would've complimented well with just toast and butter 🍞
I like my meals simple 😊
First time here though I came with my friend after she said they had great espresso and so of course I had to go! I had the shakshukka (pardon for misspelling) and she had the hot cakes, both were pretty amazing!
The shakshukka had a lot of flavour and was so filling, it was all veggies and absolutely brilliant.
The hotcake was also brilliant, it had a citrus like flavour in the cake/syrup and wasn’t overly sweet but just so mouth watering
Definitely will return!
My go to brunch spot in the area!
There are heaps of seats inside and outside but they are quite busy and there is usually a wait but definitely worth it! Staff are always very friendly. Great menu and good portions. Very Instagram worthy too (lol!)
Also at a good location and is very pet friendly
Amazing cafe in the area and only one of its kind. Cafes tend to be quite overpriced but Black Elk isn’t. The portion sizes were fairly large, my friend and I actually struggled to finish the acai bowl after tackling the hotcakes. The only thing I didn’t like about the hot cakes was the blueberry meringues. It didn’t make sense with the rest of the flavours on the dish. The sesame snaps were also sickly sweet. Nonetheless, would definitely recommend this place. Service was also nice and prompt.
Great quality cafe food and good serving sizes in the area. Would highly recommend the açai smoothie and blueberry hot cakes! Baked eggs and ramen were on menu special for the weekend. Expect about 15 min waiting time and an additional 20 min wait for food on Saturday and Sundays. Nevertheless, service was excellent!
What a typical Aussie Breakfast! Delicious food, good ambience, friendly staff. I live nearby and missed out this place for years! (Because I thought it’s not Surry Hills.) surprisingly, the Food and Coffee are very good! Price is reasonable for the big size of portion! Definitely generous.
I Ordered the smashed Avo with cured Salmon (as sides). Love it! Best Avo Toast Ive ever tasted, it lingers in my mind for days.
Generally, i dont really like cured salmon, because it’s salty. But only to try because people’s recommendations and i was thinking of ‘i may change my mind’. Unfortunately, not.
So, the smashed avocado itself is already very good and super filling!
Few downside are the staffs are not attentive enough to keep looking around the tables, because I put my hands 3 times, until I walked myself to the cashier to order. And the music is too loud for my voice to be heard by the waitress.
Lovely place! Relaxed and modern atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, excellent coffee and a dynamic menu. Some would say the menu is a little confronting, I beg to differ. It’s bold and different, and it reflects the vastly changing nature of the surrounding suburbs. This is a great little spot, highly recommended!!
Service was amazing. Food came out fast, was fresh and tasted amazing. This cafe is my go to cafe in the area. The vibe and the interior of the place is just wonderful and conveniently right next to the local library which makes it my go to place after I finish studying. The menu is always changing so is never the same thing all year around which I love.
This is such a nice place with a great ambiance. I really enjoyed my food on both occasions but having said that I find the coffee too weak. I felt like I needed a double shot for it to taste like their was coffee in my piccolo. The waiter was kind enough to remove the first coffee of the bill as I told him it was too weak and only charge me for the second strong coffee. I’ll definitely be back.
This place is always busy so we figured it must be good! Saturday brunch, we waited 30mins for a table. After being seated, we ordered straight away as we were in a rush to get to an appointment. Our food came out 40 mins later. I ordered the chat potato hash with poached egg and kale. it was delicious, except I was disappointed that the potatoes 🥔 were not anything like a hash, but were massive chunks of almost fully in tact potato. I thoroughly enjoyed the kale 🥬 and egg 🥚 though! My friends meal was supposed to have grilled tomatoes 🍅 but they came out not grilled, but heated up. Wasn’t the best food experience I’ve had, but would give them another go. Hopefully they won’t be so manic and busy so the timeliness may be better.

Food was great, Entrees/Drinks/Mains came out fast and were delicious. However (we went on valentines so it was busy) and therefore it took over half and hour with an undelivered pizza which we got refunded. Other than this great experience and good food!
Great place to dine for lunch or dinner. Good service and large portion sizes too. You can dine inside or out and BYO is an added bonus.
IlVivo what a place for dinner. The food was fantastic, amazing taste and freshness. Quality wise 5 Star. The Staff were very friendly, all of them had great customer service. It's was Satisfaction guaranteed. Thank you guys for a wonderful meal. P.S Meats are Hilal.
Family friendly restaurant, ample parking area. Portion is decent size for the price. Foods are delicious, friendly and attentive customer service.
The meals are very big and delicious, really good pizza and pasta. Friendly staff. Have been here twice now and travel from cronulla, will be back again for sure. The cutlery can be a bit cleaner though.
I enjoyed the chicken strips and my wife had chicken, avocardo with a mango sauce. Very tasty with excellent service. Prices are reasonable. We went for lunch so it was not crowded. The restaurant has outside and inside dining areas.
Only has a coffee here but the service was friendly, and attentive. At one stage during a meeting I had, the waitress kindly pulled the window blinds down to reduce the glare from the sun, a good sign of her service.
Italian restaurant with a large menu. It is also a good spot for a coffee and light snack. There is plenty of seating in two areas. It is located within the Carnes Hill Shopping Centre which has extensive free parking.
