Blackwood Pantry Cronulla has long been one of those Insta worthy cafes that not only looks good,…read morebut tastes it too. The cafe can be found on a side street, Surf Ln laneway and you be dining with relaxed beach goers, families doing brunch and those with their pooch companions. There's plenty of seating there for small and larger groups. The venue is bright and open and you'll feel comfortable. The menu is certainly broad and you'll find your favourites like a bacon and egg roll, but also plenty of unique dishes too. We loved the truffled chilli scrambled eggs, served on toasted sourdough with mushy peas, lemon whipped goats cheese, cucumber, mint, crispy shallots & truffled chilli sauce. A really decent sized serving too. For the Avo on toast dish, we opted for the gluten free bread w/ zaatar, lemon olive oil, Meredith goats cheese, pickled beetroot & fresh mint. Another great dish was green goddess salad made with cos lettuce, smashed pea hummus, whipped goat cheese, green capsicum, olives, cucumber, sprouted beans & lentils, fresh basil, toasted pumpkin seeds & za'atar and the green goddess dressing. I wanted some protein and the waitress recommended I add the Sarah's Day skewers as they're nicely marinated. Good suggestion, for my already great salad had that extra flavour burst. For drinks, there's beers, wine, cocktails, smoothies and of course coffee. We enjoyed our experience and look forward to trying the Bondi store too.

We ordered two starters (arancini balls and beef carpaccio) accompanied by a glass of wine each. I ordered the pasta marinara (one of their specials) in an entrée size and my fiancé had the gnocchi. I have to say that for an entrée size meal it was quite filling and there was no skimping on the seafood! We asked the waitress for some bread to soak up the sauce (too good not to waste) and they didn't add it to our bill. For dessert we had a Morte Da Cioccolata and a Frangelico and Amaretto Affogato. All was amazing and came to under $150! I poked my head through the kitchen window to give my thanks to the chef for a fab meal, we will be coming back!

Such a great menu with a huge variety of burgers, wings, tacos and cocktails. I had to order the salsa verde and Parmesan fries. WOW. So worth ordering, salty, vinegary, crispy and fresh, everything you want in fries and more. I ordered the chicken burger and the cheese burger to share. The meat in the cheese burger was so juicy and fresh covered in melted cheese accompanied by mustard, pickles, tomato sauce and aioli what more could you ask for in a burger?!? Now to the chicken burger. This was epic and by far my favourite. It came with maple bacon, slaw and cheese. The chicken was crispy and juicy and I can't wait to try it again. They also have a range of wine, shakes and cocktails.

I love how this place does drinks - there's four taps of rotating craft beer/cider, and once they're out they tap a new flavour. They ran out of 2 beers while we were there, and a new keg was quickly tapped each time. They have cardboard signs serving as labels - an easy way to keep the signage current - and at $8-9/pint, its a great way to try different beers without damaging your wallet. For wine they only offer 1 red and 1 white each night, and those change daily. The cocktails are made with care, with a good selection of classics (martini, Manhattan) and some fruity modern conceptions as well. Food was quite good, despite some of the portions being small. The cheesesteak for $16 could easily be consumed in a few bites. The pulled pork for $16 was delicious, served between two toasted pieces of delicious bread (not the "hoagie" I was expecting, but some of the best pulled pork I've had in Australia), and a better serve than the cheesesteak. The sliders were, again, on the small side. At $4/each or 4 for $15, you'd need 4 to make a meal. I found the chicken sliders a bit bland, possibly being overpowered by the potatoes in the garlic mash. The beef sliders were much better, with a delicious pickle relish. Of course, I had to grab the wings (6 for $9 or 12 for $16) which were one of the standouts for the night. A bit sweet at first, they pack a bit of a punch with a heat that builds. The three chip options (chilli cheese fries, sweet potato wedges, and steak fries with chipotle mayo) were all pretty good. Rumour (or rather, Facebook) has it that this place does $0.50 wings and $5 hot dogs on Wednesdays - definitely worth checking out. Come early if you want a table - we managed to grab one of the last of them at 6 pm on a Saturday, and didn't see much turnover during our 3 hour stay.

Located on Surf Road, the restaurant is airy with lots of glass to let in the light, it is very contemporary and pleasant. Most seats indoors, there are some informal high top seats outside too. Service was very friendly and the single server was handling the breakfast crowd with ease as not too busy. The waffles we light and fluffy. There was a nice crunch to them and had one with ice cream and the other one with strawberries. The Banana Roti was served with peanut butter and condensed milk. It was an interesting concept and fairly well executed. The peanut butter and banana combination was delicious. The Shakshuka Baked Eggs had a slight spiciness to it but was lovely and the runny eggs in the sauce was great. The bread soaked up all the sauces. The Huevos Rancheros Baked Eggs were not so successful. It was a bit too oily with the mince and the pork belly in it. It was a bit unbalanced as also had avocado in it so fatty in taste. The tostadas needed to be drained more too. Overall most dishes were great for the one exception.
