    Serious coffee connoisseurs would be delighted by a visit to this iconic small batch coffee roaster, operating from the old bakery premises in Hurstbridge. Friendly, attentive staff, passionate & educated about coffee. We enjoyed a single origin espresso and latte combination - ideal if you’d like to experience the extraordinary pure taste of your coffee bean. The setting was relaxed and our brunch was tasty and well presented. Even the barista popped past to explain our coffee and their roasting techniques. We thoroughly enjoyed: Smashed avocado, whipped feta, pistachio dukkah, blood orange puree, grapefruit on multigrain with poached egg + Istra bacon Roasted Cauliflower Salad with brocollini, kale, house-made almond 'hummus, avocado, soy pepitas & puffed rice with miso-lime dressing. We’ll be back for sure!!!

    We dined in for brunch on a busy Sunday morning, the staff were quick to serve us and get us seated. The coffee menu is amazing and the food worth the money, we have to say it’s one of the better cafes we’ve enjoyed since being in Victoria.

    The coffee is top-notch, with a wide selection of single-origin and blended options. The brunch menu is delicious, and I highly recommend trying the raspberry pistachio cake—it's out of this world! The staff are friendly, and the modern industrial ambiance adds to the overall experience. Definitely a 5-star gem! Recommended...

    Incredible venue. Always enjoy coming here. Service is fantastic, food is exceptional and they have one of the largest range of coffees I've seen. Definitely a favourite of many locals.

    Sat outside in the shaded alfresco area for a delicious lunch. Great food, beautiful surrounds. Had the Korean fried chicken burger which was succulent and perfect for those who love a bit of spice. Indulged with some dessert, including house made tiramisu. Great selection of quality baked goods with some house made and some bought in. Perfect spot for lunch after a ride or run to Hurstbridge along the DC trail! Will be back.

    Super busy place! Decent coffee but service staffs were too busy to be attentive. Have to check in 3 times for an order of Banana bread. By the time we finished our sandwich and drinks, banana bread is still nowhere in sight! Given up, request for to go! Turned up dry and tasteless for overly heat up!!! Disappointed..

    Love coming here for their chai latte. This time I had a tiramisu and it didn’t disappoint. The bang bang chicken is a bit spicy for my liking but it’s not overpowering. Pet friendly cafe and excellent customer service.

    I didn't have any food this time, just coffee, but the menu looks great. Now the Hurstbridge trail is complete, start off with a coffee at Black Vice, and work your way back to Eltham, on to Greensborough, and then onto the city. They have some interesting coffees here, a lot of different processes, and more premium varietals. My espresso was good, but I really enjoyed my milky coffee. It was like a tropical smoothie. It was made with the luxx blend. They have a solid selection of retail here. Feel free to ask the team, the Baristas know their stuff. Their house blend is Hurstbridge, but the luxx blend is also on the bar. It's nice to see a cafe like this in the area. The space is large, with plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor. I'll be back before another ride down the creek.

    This has to be a solid recommend. Food amazing. Staff did their best to accommodate us on a busy weekend. What a gem of a place. Sweet potato chips are a must.

    Food was nice and outdoor area pleasant on a sunny winter’s day BUT I didn’t appreciate the hidden piece of brown avocado at the bottom of my cauliflower and broccoli salad which was otherwise delicious. Loved the crispy bits of puffed rice. And coffee good and menu nicely varied. The pistachio and raspberry cake was really nice as well.

    Surprisingly well made coffee. Caffeinate me option should be a standard. Huge range of beans selections. Well desciptioned. Easy to understand. Presentation is beautiful. Food option is simple and focused. Reasonable price. A bit pricey for the location may be. Worth a return: Yes.

    Great spot for right on the main strip, great aspect high up to watch the world go by. Coffee and cakes look delish, we had a 🍔 burger and beers 🍺 as it was the Wattle festival. Live jazz and festivities, fun!

    The food was good but a bit expensive. Great vibe, though with very large outdoors area. Huge kudos for all the bike racks. It made my experience cycling here all the way from Hawthorn even more pleasant. Thank you.

    Black Vice is our favourite weekend lunch spot in Hurstbridge! The staff are so lovely and go above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable. We have a 6 month old and cafes are hard to come by that are so family friendly. The kids scrambled eggs is super cute and our little one is always happy! Our favourites is the eggs Benny and cheeseburger. It’s the place to be! Thanks once again for looking after us feel part of the family :)
