Blackwork

We enjoyed the food, but think that there is too much cinnamon in the ricotta spread for the fruit toast.

This place is humming and a great addition to Croydon

Been there with friends and the atmosphere here is good and we had a good time here

Just a little slow at taking out order, needed to ask, but very happy with the meals

Lovely coffee and amazing food. Good staff and loved the cold drip

Not to tarnish the reputation of the restaurant, as our visit may have been a one off - however our experience was poor. More often than not, when you're seated in the corner of the restaurant, you get forgotten about, which is exactly what happened. My coffee order didn't take too long, however was the wrong order. The correct order eventually came, with an unwashed spoon. My wife ordered a bottled juice that didn't come - we had to remind the staff twice. During this time we also had to prompt the staff to take our food order. Our food eventually arrived, without cutlery or serviettes which again, we had to ask the staff for. Luckily we asked for serviettes as the bagels we ordered fell apart completely. This is my honest description of how it went. I will always be understanding, polite and courteous to staff, as basic human decency is a must, however a decent standard of service must be reciprocated. I'm sure others have had a great experience, however for a Sunday lunch, our experience was rather one to forget.

Disappointed with the food. Coffee and service very very good.

Great coffee, great food, fabulous staff! Highly recommend! Also love they gave newspapers there for customers to peruse. We will be back for sure.

Food was great. Service pretty good too. Great hot chocolate

great service - staff very attentive -plenty of vegan options too

We didn’t realize we would be put outside and so a number of us were not dressed appropriately as it was quite cold and windy. It would have been good to have been told in advance that we’d be outside Otherwise lovely food and great service- just quite cold, therefore not the best ambience and got us moving quicker than usual!

Great chai, food was amazing! Very filling and tasty brunch

I had a pretty good experience at the cafe yesterday. We had a reservation for 6, and our table was ready right when we walked in. The staff quickly took our drink orders and returned right on time to take our food orders. The food came out a bit slowly; some of us were almost done eating by the time others received their dishes. The cafe was packed, so I understand why they didn’t clear the empty plates, even though some people were sitting there for a while. The portion of squire ink linguini was a bit small for lunch, while my spicy prawn dish was large I couldn’t finish it. The chips were very nice.

Everything was good except the avocado on toast which had two very small slices of bread compared to my scrambled eggs on toast. I wouldn't usually mind but this is the second time it's happened to us.

Tasty food and good coffee! The menu had good variety

Very nice place to eat and socialize. We'll be back!

Food was delicious, staff were friendly, and we really enjoyed our dining experience.

Nice friendly staff. Always does well with appearance of food, and good variety of lunch. Hot chocolate is rather weak and not sweet. My black squid ink pasta tasted beautiful, just rather small serving for $27.

Very good and awesome people and And service and good food

We had a pleasant experience at Blackwork for breakfast for three people. The food was very good, the coffee could have been a little stronger and a chai we ordered came in a glass vessel that had not been cleaned properly but was replaced very quickly and without fuss.

The food was fantastic and the staff were lovely too!

Fantastic staff, very attentive even though they were very busy. Great food. 👍

I was blown away by the service and how accomodating the cafe was. The food and beverages were also delicious. Thank you for making our afternoon so great.

Amazing, food was beautiful. I would recommend to all of my friends

Friendly staff, good food, great coffee. Will definitely come back!
