    Great atmosphere- great quality food - excellent drinks - filtered water, quality coffee, delicious smoothies. This place is trendy, relaxed and serviced by friendly, helpful staff. A great find to stopover on our day trip. #brekkie #breakfast casual #dining

    The faster coffee shop ever ! What a beautiful presentation and tasty food. Was a Sunday morning and we definitely didn’t expect such a quickly service! The food was as beautiful as delicious. The place is nice and has good customer service ! Plus, even ours dogs got cold water to drink 🥰

    I know it’s a busy day - but the fair and open and appreciated thing to do is if customers are ordering coffee let them know that it is almost 1 hour waiting for takeaway coffee - just don’t do it guys, really poor - yes, I could have asked how long, but your the business relaying on customer satisfaction and coming back … had mum waiting at home so instant it had to be .. 🙏 Thanks for the response Hayley and for the explanation, no need for a voucher although the offer is very generous and appreciated. I was just providing some feed back which helps with the overall experience - the reason why we go there is because your coffee is very good - in my opinion best in the hood.

    Relaxed, homely cafe smack bang in the middle of Blackwood Street. Welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyed a coffee under the shady trees. Very pleasant.

    Great for food. Just wanted to add that I think adding in a more consistent grinder onto the espresso bar may be very helpful as the coffees can be hit or miss and I noticed a click grinder and no scales to be able to weigh. Great food however and nice staff.

    Great service and wonderful food. Drinks and food came out not long after being ordered and wait staff were polite and courteous. Would recommend for a quick coffee or a great breakfast/lunch.

    Was very disappointed as have been to your Ferny Grove cafe and have enjoyed the coffee. This morning my husband took me out for breakfast. The service was awful. The staff were working but they clearly didn’t want to be there and customers seemed to interrupt them. My avocado on toast was terrible. The avocado was brown. The whole thing was covered in lettuce so you couldn’t see the brown avocado. I ended up having my husbands avocado on his plate after I scraped mine off and it ended up being quite pleasant. The coffee was Luke warm and bitter and watery I couldn’t actually finish it. We waited a long time for the coffees to come, they came out when we had almost finished our food. I was just really disappointed because I know the cafe can do better.

    Have grabbed take away coffee from here countless times on a Sunday when THE Elixir is closed and unfortunately this place doesn't do the Elixir beans justice. I think I have had a decent coffee from here once. Usually either bitter, or burnt, or half my shot missed the cup (as it seemed to today). There are a couple of guys there who are lovely and super friendly when hanging the coffee out, but most of the staff have attitude problems. Unfortunately done giving this place a go, which is a shame considering how much we like the other two cafes of this group.

    Blackwood cafe has been my favourite place for brunch for the past few years. They have recently updated their menu which is nice but wish they changed the Vegetation big breakfast back to what it was!

  • 4/5 Cherie P. 8 months ago on Google
    Our favourite go to cafe on a Sunday, especially when the farmers markets are on. It is always pretty busy and popular, a great place to meet for brunch or grab a coffee. You can order a bowl of coffee, a popular choice for some coffee lovers . They do good meals and have specials that change from time to time. They do all day breakfast, which naturally makes me happy as I adore a good poached egg. Their housemade granola is pretty good too. If you have a dog, they are dog friendly and allow them outside with you. Most of tables are well shaded, but some outside get a little bit of sun as the shade shifts. Inside seating is air conditioned. The cafe is a short walk from the mitchelton train station if you use public transport.

    Great coffee and delicious food. Staff are always friendly and smiling.

  • 4/5 Carl H. 7 months ago on Google
    Probably the best place to have breakfast in gaythorne, speedy service and great food. However take care ordering takeaway both times I have the orders I opened at home are not what I ordered, I should have learnt that the first time, so check before you leave... I did mention this to the staff on my next visit but they did not seem interested....

    On one occasion I had coffee here and it was one of the best coffees I've ever had. But more often than not their coffee tastes burnt. On the plus side their staff are always welcoming and hospitable

    Delicious food at this cafe. Lovely service from the staff. Prices are a bit high but it is also dog friendly with water bowls outside for your pups to refresh with you! The French toast is delicious!

  • 5/5 Brett S. 5 months ago on Google
    Best food, best staff, best coffee on that street. It’s Dog Friendly but make sure your fur babies are under control Gets busy on Saturday mornings. Staff are always very polite, but then again it’s Blackwood St Mitchelton everyone there is nice.

  • 4/5 ian w. 9 months ago on Google
    It's easy to see why this place is so busy. Coffee was a solid offering and arrived in good time . Was also a good temp without the need to ask unlike other tepid offerings that are the trend. The food was delivered quickly considering how busy it was a sign of a well practice team. Our meals were flavoursome and well prepared. Would have liked to see table service but counter service helps pace orders. The onlyndetractor was the noise from the metal chairs being dragged by other customers which was a bit loud at times. Well worth the trip and well worth returning to.

    Great spot to meet friends for lunch. Good selection. Can tend to get quite busy. Staff very attentive and good at taking initiative.

    We travel around to find the best coffee and today at Blackwood espresso bar we hit the mark . 🥳 Unfortunately as a senior citizen we were not offered any senior discount which is sad in today financial debacle Like I said the service and the coffee was great until we also ordered the carrot cake which was a bit dry and did not come with cream , I did enquire about cream and was told this is at an extra cost 😣it is not hard to bring clients back if there is a positive reaction. This is not criticism this is feedback from one of the hundreds of senior citizens going for coffee everyday.

    Great food, the owner is friendly, with a positive attitude and follows up with any issues, which can be seen flowing to the staff who welcomed us with a smile and a laugh. Good job all. Love the coffee and the outdoor seating area was relaxing to sit in on a quiet afternoon.we shall return.

    Excellent coffee, nice people, and delicious French toast specials that change often. Lovely place. 😊 We also love that they take covid safe rules seriously, we feel safe coming here, and really appreciate it!

  • 5/5 Claire W. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this cafe - great little spot to come for breakfast, or any time of the day really! The food is always good and the staff are lovely, especially the young girls that work there - always smiling which is refreshing! The smoothies are great too, and would definitely recommend the avo toast 🤩

  • 5/5 Ange B. 1 year ago on Google
    We've been here many, many times over the last few years. Meals are well priced, coffee is AMAZING (Elixir) and meals are always served quickly by friendly staff. Always clean and COVID protocols and spacing excellent. One of our favourite places to meet for coffee and brunch.

  • 5/5 H K. 2 years ago on Google
    My partner and I have been frequenting this cafe since we moved to Brisbane. The staff are friendly and the food is consistently fresh and delicious! Can’t forget that you also serve the best coffee :)

  • 4/5 Mitchell E. 2 years ago on Google
    I was here for lunch with a friend. The food was quick to come out and tasted exceptional. The restaurant had a great vibe and everyone was having a good time. It was unfortunate that at the time I was visiting, they were out of a few of their top shelf whiskeys but other than that, it was a great dining experience. Definitely worth a visit.
