blackwood pantry

love this lil cafe! although a bit far for me! but i will go the distance for good food! try their strawberry ricotta toast or the basil strawberry yogurt for something out of this world!! service was top notch too! so if you are in cronulla definitely worth a visit!

this place is the new hot spot in cronulla at the moment, walking by a numerous amounts of times and seeing all the people, i had to find out what all the fuss was about!

blackwood pantry is a beautiful beach cafe that invites you right through the doors. they serve up some beautiful looking (and tasting dishes) such as the hot cake and morning glory bowl.
although they taste great, i do think this place is a bit overpriced for what you get and needs a menu change. in terms on their breakfast/ brunch menu- it could do with a mix up and addition of new menu items.

overall a great cafe, just make sure you get in early as it can get very busy by mid morning especially on the weekend.

loved this place. by far one of my favorite cafes in cronulla. the menu is short but should have enough to entice you. great quality food at cafe prices, service was great. the chicken salad was divine, a perfectly roasted chicken thigh and drumstick accompanied by a lightly dressed radicchio salad w peanuts and corns. healthy yet utterly satisfying. the morning glory breakfast was extremely generous, scrambled eggs w kale, goats cheese, chorizo and half an avocado. perfectly balanced and filling. i would come back in a heartbeat.

this wonderful cafe has been open for 5 months and i didn't even know. by chance we went there today for lunch and boy was i impressed. i went up to the counter as the cafe was full with people waiting for a table. he asked me was i interested in a table which i said can i look at the menu first he then went through each item with me quickly but he didn't have to . i said ok i will wait. within 15 minutes we were led to our table by a delightful waitress who was pleasant and cheerful.

the place just oozed of good food and quality service. we ended up ordering the poached salmon with bok choi, chick pea and beetroot houmos and pumpkin seeds. absolutely delicious.

the people are terrific so don't wait go there and enjoy and by the way they have a bubba gump burger which is prawns and chorizo .

loved this place! the food was absolutely amazing and the cafe was decorated beautifully. our waitress was lovely and we had great service. i had the morning glory for my meal and it was delicious! the portion size was generous and every mouthful was divine. i would rate this as one of the best brunches i have had in a long time. would definitely come and eat here again.

been so many times, never disappoints. perfect for your boyfriend that doesn't like brunch-typical eggs + avo on toast, would recommend!

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. 🥰

my ratings:
taste 9/10
presentation 10/10
environment 9.5/10
service 9.5/10
price 6/10
waiting time - around a twenty minute wait at 10am on a saturday

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.
