Everything is immaculately clean with a higher than usual attention to detail by the service attendants. The ambiance is a more casual one, family friendly as well as accommodating intimate couples and large gatherings.

I've eaten here a few times now, and this cafe continually impresses me…read more The food is great. Beautiful Dench sourdough breads (also available to purchase in whole loaves), perfectly poached eggs, and an interesting menu with beautiful presentation make it a delight to eat here. The coffee is veneziano, made well, and there is usually a single origin coffee available. No filter coffee menu, but the single origin espresso option is usually fresh and enjoyable. And available! Which is spectacular in the outer eastern suburbs, where I am usually met with a blank state when I ask if there is a single origin coffee on offer. They have Larsen and Thompson teas available, but if you like to be specific about how your tea is brewed, be prepared, as they serve them without brew timers. The space is nice, with an outdoor table out the front, some tables inside, and space out the back. It can get busy! Especially on the weekend. The staff are great, though, with service being prompt and friendly, and chatty when it's not too busy. *TL;DR: currently the best specialty coffee cafe in the outer eastern suburbs, so visit!

The atmosphere is, well, a reflection of the rest of the shopping centre and not the result of anything the shop itself has done. It's really fairly nondescript, but it's a hell of a lot better than it's surroundings. There's a fair bit of seating available, and it generally isn't that big a deal if you sit down with a loaded trolley next to your table. Coffee here is alright. It's never been awful, and occasionally been really good, but usually it's just average. The people who run the shop are nice enough. Bottom line is that it's convenient and generally alright.

We think it's really well priced, and the quiet atmosphere means we don't have to shout over everyone else to have a conversation!

Driving around the residential streets of Blackburn North, you'd probably never guess that a gem…read morelike this was tucked away! Little Woodpecker is a cute little cafe that only the locals seem to know about - most of the customers appear to be on first name basis with the staff, and everybody is friendly & smiling. With a menu that caters to the major groups of customers (vegan, veggie, GF, etc) you can't really go wrong if you pick this place as a brunch destination! All day Breakfast & Lunch, great variety & yummy flavours (not to mention, totally Instagrammable presentation!), great coffee & smoothie options...what's not to love? Plus it changes with the seasons, so you know everything's fresh & delicious! I came with a friend and we got the shareplate (The Last Supper) which was an AMAZING tapas board with baked eggs, grain salad, falafel, dips, roasted mushrooms, fresh sourdough....man, it was quite the smorgasbord! The shareplate for 2 seemed enough for 3 people to split, because we couldn't eat it all (and we can really pack it in, folks. No namby-pamby nibblers here) Honestly, it seemed like the way to do it, because you got to try a little of everything! If you don't choose to go that way though, don't worry - the serves are all generous & every mouthful is bliss :) Also, before I forget - they also have a countertop CHOC-FULL of freshly baked sweets! I was eying off their orange poppyseed muffins & their Doughnuts/Cronuts/danishes/croissants/omg it all looked so good I can't even list it all So yeah! If you're around, get your butt to Little Woodpecker for an awesome meal!

A variety of offerings from various cultures all cooked and presented beautifully. The staff were very friendly, accommodating and cheerful. Their dedication to the cafe was obvious.

The cafe had a good atmosphere with expressive art on the walls and different seating options. The prices were extremely reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food that we received. This is definitely a cafe to visit if you're in the area.

It goes without saying to avoid this place if you are on a diet - seriously. They have cafe style seating both indoors and outdoors and you can enjoy a number of hot beverages while there. I would definitely recommend their hot chocolate - it melts in your mouth and is to die for. They sell gift boxes as well as individual chocolates. To give you an idea of prices, they had some large chocolate frogs on sale for $3.30 last time I was there. When the chocolate cravings hit or something traumatic happens this is one place I go to make myself feel better. Give it a go.
