After a bit…read moreof walking around the block (it's on the south side of several malls and food strips) I finally found it, just before closing. Coffee was good and service was great. Again, I came toward the end of service, so there was no wait; but friends who'd gone to breakfast said it can get crowded earlier in the day, so come early and/or prepare for a wait.

Peanut butter complemented the Açaí well (who knew I would like lumps of peanut butter?). But it all worked together. Also, eggs Benedict that the table next to me ordered looked amazing.

I had the 'big breakfast' and my wife and daughter had Eggs Benedict (served on toasted Turkish bread) which they both described as fantastic given they had a far inferior version a few days earlier at a different cafe for twice the price! This cafe is one of the 'last bastions' of small business as they have a history spanning 40 years and the owners mum (original founder) is still out the back' 'cooking up a storm. She is out engaging with guests and regulars and together with her son make you feel like you are eating at their home.

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.
