A successful brunch indeed!

Order and pay at the counter and they'll bring your freshly made food to your table. I don't normally like wraps with thick chewy dough triple folded at the bottom and no filling inside but their $10.90 Lunch Special for a wrap and a small drink got me in and was well worth it. Their lovely fresh thin wrap bread was chock-a-block with marinated meat, hummus and salad veggies. It was open at the top and bottom (yes, I made a mess) but it was delicious and there were no mouthfuls of plain dough to hack through. They've got a few things in their hot box that look tempting, like the spinach pie, but I'll try that next time. And maybe something from their sweets cabinet too...

Blackboard is an enigma. A light, open plan café with amazing food, and equally good coffee, in the…read morecultural wasteland that is Varsity lakes. We arrived on a Friday afternoon, took our seats, and after some confusion around table service (it is) ordered coffees, and I took advantage of the all day breakfast menu, and asked for the 'farmer' (poached eggs, rosemary potato hash, bacon and sourdough). The coffees came out first, and were fantastic. Using Brisbane's Cup Coffee beans, they make a great cappuccino. The food was also excellent. The open plan kitchen allows you to watch the chef make your breakfast as you quiet your stomach's rumbling. The eggs were 'just so' and oozed out decadently over the twice cooked bacon. The potato hash wasn't dry, and the rosemary wasn't overpowering. As we left, I grabbed a second coffee, knowing that I was a long way from my next good one. If you're in the area, Blackboard should absolutely be on your to do list.

I recently discovered this shop located in the foyer of the East Side office building The coffee is…read moregreat (Black Sheep), and the customer service outstanding - the barista is so friendly and very passionate about providing you with her best coffee. It does mainly cater for workers and visitors to the building, so the coffee is served in take-away cups and there is limited food on offer, however there is a small outdoor area you can sit and it's definitely worth a visit if you live or work nearby. I will be stopping off here before work from now on!

Hands down the worst breakfast I have ever had in my 15 years of eating out. For $17 it was not…read moreeven eatable.. what makes it worse is the chef wanted to argue with me when I took it back and said "I'm sorry I just can't eat this" instead of being offered something else I get the rudest attitude of "so you don't like it and want something else for free" okay firstly if I had eaten more then two bites of it I could understand if you thought I was trying to get something "for free". Secondly if the situation was handled with some manners and professionalism I wouldn't have felt the need to write this review. I had to argue just to be given two poached eggs on toast. Thirdly just because it says "journal hash mash" don't assume a customer will be expecting a plate of what seemed to be an omelet with everything added into it and mashed up into a total disaster... I have never in my life had to take a meal back before, nor have I ever felt like something I have ordered at a café is unbearable to eat. Maybe your chef needs to realize this is a hospitality industry he works in and a simple "we will fix it for you" would have gone a long way! It's not like I was rude I took it back and said "I'm sorry I can't eat it.." I live 200m walking distance from here and I'll never come back. Only thing I can say is my coffee was perfect. If I could give zero stars for food I would..
