Lots of gluten free and lactose free options on both menus AND brekky and lunch are both served all day! Score! Drawbacks for this place are the average and sometimes haphazard service, and this place can get busy! However you can make bookings so that settles the latter. As for the former, well, the menu is just so good it makes up for it (mostly). Plus a Dalek tea cosy never hurts!

This is what I imagine the 70s were like where people dined in lounge cafes with a "world…read moreinfluenced" menu. It is a cosy space and full of people sipping on tasty coffee in giant mugs. Unfortunately we made the mistake of coming here with kids and had to spend a good 20 minutes firstly trying to decipher a very cluttered (and hard to read) blackboard menu on a wall and secondly, explain to each child what was written on the menu and things like a Greek Breakfast or a wagyu meatball was. Luckily crepes were on a separate specials menu behind the counter and we avoided tantrum time. Each meal came out separately, one 5 minutes after ordering, two 15 minutes after ordering and another one 20 minutes after ordering so that made for some fun! My Greek Breakfast was different and the poached eggs were cooked very well. The highlight of the dish was the greek yoghurt. My partner's lamb burger was simple and again the greek yoghurt sauce was the highlight. The meals are home cooked, simple in flavour and presentation but I did feel a little expensive for what was presented at $18 for a breakfast and a burger each. I'd definitely return back for a coffee and cake at some point and perhaps leave the little darlings at their parent's place next time too.

Joans Pantry has been around since the 1920's starting off as a tin shed, it has been added to a little over time but haven't really done any earth shattering renovations, simply come into the 21st century with some updating. But the good old fashioned service and quality of food still remains, despite it changing ownership several times. It's just that sort of environment of country hospitality and when they're it, they can't afford to lose local business. There's lots of indoor seating and a few outdoor settings, a very good selection of baked goods like pies, pasties, etc and also sweets. All of the prices are reasonable seeing as there is no competition within cooee.

The decor is as the name suggests and quite simple but lots of seating with also spots outside. Magazines and papers to read if you get the time on the weekend. The food: I have had eggs benedict here, great sauce and well cooked eggs - the mexican nachos are to die for! SO yummy and not too spicy - they came as a recommendation from our waitress, Marie. She also suggested the mexican jacket potato but I went with nachos. :) Marie was very helpful, very patient with my indecisiveness! Also one of the few places that sell hot dogs! I have gone with the Hillbilly's special before with avocado, tomato, cheese and aioli and their special sauce - so delicious! I love a good hot dog and its a decent portion too. As you can probably tell, I have always had consistently good food here and I just love Blackwood so I come here often. I forgot to mention the juices are also pretty good - go the immune boost! Only negative is that the hours are not always consistent - the manager sometimes will close if its not busy. I completely understand but as a consumer this can make it hard to plan a visit.

It didn't take long to receive our orders nor did it take long to eat either as they were very tasty. The service was quick, the food delicious and the price was okay.

The café is amazing in its own right, but has an offshoot business Eire Pies - which according to their website was a challenge brought by a customer to Stephen to make more savoury pies for his menu. Eire pies are now sold at Foodland supermarkets , Tony and Marks at Gelnunga and Brickworks as well as in the café itself; and have amazing flavours such as braised lamb and rosemary, duck curry, beef and potato and vegan chickpea and lentil. On top of this achievement, Eiri café also produce a wide range of delicious biscuits, cakes and patries, and do an amazing brunch ( 7:30am - 2:30pm on weekedays and 8:30-2:30pm on weekends). I have popped in a few times on the way to work and was impressed; but this Saturday we stopped for breakfast/brunch on the way to running some errands. I had the pancakes with banana, maple syrup and mascarpone and I added bacon to it because bacon and maple syrup just belong together. My partner had cornbread with spicy tomato salsa, grilled haloumi, poached eggs and she also added bacon. My pancakes were light fluffy and delicious, but quite filling. The bacon was cooked well and the whole meal made me very happy, with big generous slices of banana and a pot of maple syrup on the side). My partner's corn bread meal though, was the stand out. I'm definitely getting that next time. I have never tried cornbread like Eire's before. It was light and fluffy and I think it was deep fried, but not oily. Perfect. I'll be back, for pies, for breakfast and for coffee. Cheers guys.

But, if you love a great brekkie, brunch or lunch, check them out! Actually, you should go out of your way to check them out. My partner insisted that I give this café a go. He had tried some of their pastries before and loved them! In fact, this café sells their pies to Foodland Supermarkets. I have seen them in the Norwood one if you are interested. So, they are obviously doing a great job. The café has a good amount of space in it for a few groups of people. There is cute little collection of vintage items on tables and a pretty vertical garden inside. Eclectic in style. As for my brekkie, I had to order the corn fritters. I am so glad that I did, they were amazing! I have never had fritters like these before. They were deep fried, crispy and so super fluffy inside. They were topped with some tasty fried haloumi, greens and served with some fresh tangy salsa and cream. I was in the mood for some bacon as well, so I ordered that as an extra. I was so full afterwards though. I have to say, this is one of the best breakfasts I have had in a while. It really impressed me. Lot's of skill and love was put into this dish. I look forward to stop there again when I am in the neighbourhood.
