Yummy food ! Great service my dad has very bad allergies but they accommodated to his needs which is usually a struggle with other restaurants.
The waitress was very lovely she even let us know when her shift finished and she introduced us on to the other gentlemen who took over. Ciders were yummy as well !
Ahh yes, The Block - a hot spot with the locals, and one of the better eateries in the area, I'd heard many good things of their cajun fried chicken eggs benny prior to my visit - then one fateful Saturday morning I stormed in like a man on a mission and ordered just that. I'd been here once before and the service was just as sharp as I remember. The crispy cajun chicken was cooked amazingly well and whoever the genius was who thought to pair it with the eggs benedict deserves a medal. A subtle twist on a breakfast dish we all know and love without being too poncy. 5☆
Great food and service, mince on toast is A+++ and the hash brown plate fills my partner up (which is a challenge!)
Delicious food here and great selection for breakfast and lunch.
Great casual vibe, nice outdoor dining spaces too.
Best breakfast spot in blockhouse bay by a mile
the block has exceeded my expectation, very well trained staff and great menu, you should definitely give this place a try. We will be back again for sure
Come here all the time for a quick breakfast and it never disappoints! The place is pretty open but can get cold at times due to how open it is. The service is good when it’s not busy.
Ordered the mango smoothie, thin fries and Sri Lankan chicken lollipops. The lollipops were freaking amazing and nothing like I’d ever had before..... it tasted like schezchuan sauce along with some onions and capsicum. They need to bottle that sauce I would buy that in the dozens 😍😍😍 the mango smoothie seemed creamy even those the base was ice not sure how they did it but again bloody amazing. I normally only like to go to a place once but those lollipops are hard not to think about lol. Even though they were really busy the staff were friendly and we didn’t have to wait for our food
After several recommendations we ended up in this cafe yesterday with our dog. We ordered about 4 breakfast items and sides and thoroughly enjoyed everything here.
Very friendly staff and superb service too.
Spacious cafe, lots of seating friendly staff.
Coffee strong, smooth and great mouth feel
Corn fritters delicious - crisp on the outside, soft and full of flavours combined perfectly with Crème fraîche, avocado, bacon and chilli sauce
Text book eggs benedict with stuffed mushrooms
Handcut fries were average but overall love this suburban gem
Really nice local Cafe in the heart of Blockhouse Bay. The food options are great - you have your usual breakfast options, as well as some interesting lunch options. I opted for the lamb and it was well crafted and complemented with some good couscous and pomegranate. Overall a great place to catch up!
A lovely happy vibe going on and atmosphere warm and inviting. I Loved the Nachos, sister liked Hash plate and Mum had Chicken lollipops and gave a thumbs up. Other sister a little disappointed in dry Waffles that did not taste freshly made. Still wouldn’t hesitate to return.
I unexpectedly stumbled upon this cafe while I was on my way to the block house bay reserve. This cafe is definitive 'slice, sip and soak in the ambience' experience. Loved the wooden brown look and feel of the cafe and the whole 'block' theme running all over it. I ordered their much hyped 'butter chicken pizza' and a glass of chilled beer. There is an outdoor seating section as well as an indoor one. The restaurant manager was a very lovely person to interact with and was very excited when i decided to go with the butter chicken pizza. The dynamic and energetic front desk staff promptly served the food with a smile on her face. I had a really good time enjoying the food and drink while listening to some tunes of a tastefully selected playlist. I would recommend this as a one stop destination to unwind and have a nice time.
Astonishing food + really nice atmosphere, like you can feel all the breeze and the sun light you need. It is my first time at this Cafe’s and will definitely come back to try more food here. I rate 4 stars instead of 5 because i experience some bad customer service with a certain staff.
Exciting Atmosphere. Groovy!
Indoor/Outdoor flow.
Great menu.
Ample Parking.
Perfect Coffee. Large Selection
Outstanding Service from the Perfect, Patient Waitress Arnica!
Awesome and perfect waitress Aurora! (Superb, gentle and amazing patient care from the young lady with a wonderful future.)
Can't recommend it highly enough!
Lovely cafe with very pretty “indoor garden” vibe. My coffee was not quite hot enough, but staff were very pleasant and I am sure they would have heated it again if I had asked. Lovely spot within the friendly village. Will visit again. Large muffin was very nice, menu food looked delish.
Rustic, garden featured cafe on the main road. Staff are very nice, and food is quite tasty. Service is quick for a weekend day too. Great for small group coffee catch ups.
Place and ambience is great
Went there for family birthday dinner with an infant and child. Service was abit slow but friendly staff.
Had the platter which had some interesting flavours. Didn’t get to try the sliders.
My pork belly was tough but liked the flavour
Friends ordered Eye Fillet steak which was cooked perfectly and steak was juicy and tender
Mum ordered the lamb dish which wasn’t bad either
Staff sung birthday song to husband which was a nice surprised
Good place for craft beers and hanging out at the “local”
Second time there for a beer and first for food
Another new neighborhood adventure today.
Grab a seat in this famous cafe & restaurant The Block.
Very nice hospitality, waiters are young and energetic, smile on their faces, just love that kind of feeling.
Order Harshbrown and coffee
I am satisfied with the Harshbrown, very tasty.
Great location, plenty of street parking, walking to countdown and liquor shop which is super convenient.
Service and presentation was great. The food could use proper seasoning and better flavour ( that’s up to personal taste though, nothing bad)
Best sweet corn fritters EVER. All the best flavours, huge portion, quality is always consistent and food is always served hot. Yum as. Picture of a big fat French toast also delicious and an omelette. Come and eat here most weekends because the food is so goood.
