Vanilla Black Coffee & Books

Such a terrific atmosphere with great outdoor seating to soak up the sun (when sunny.. of course!) Really loved their espresso from Assembly roasting. Juicy flavours, delightful crema!

I just always go back for the toasties. Small but delicious menu of food, carefully prepared with fresh and local ingredients, even a little grocery market in front for when you need some special ingredients. I’ve yet to try their outdoor dining, but normally grab a takeaway toastie and eat it in the park. Service can be a little slow, especially if you’re just getting takeaway instead of stopping, but I don’t mind going for a quick walk and it’s usually ready by the time I’m back.

Food and coffee were amazing! We came for breakfast and had the avocado on sourdough and salmon on sourdough which were excellent. Banana bread with yogurt and fruit was also very tasty. Would definitely come back.

Had brunch here! We got poached eggs on toast and it was absolutely delicious. Coffee was great, all the staff were friendly and helpful, and the place was very clean :) Great atmosphere, will definitely be returning - and taking another look at all their cookbooks for sale!

The food was delicious. Lots of seating and a large outdoor seating area, too. Great service. Delicious coffee. Highly recommend.

What a great place for brunch! Staff were all really friendly and cooked my eggs the way I like it! Chiara, Patrick and Eva thank you a great experience and we will certainly be returning. Would highly recommend!

On the days we bring my son to art school, we always stop by for breakfast. Make sure you have enough time to have some of their wonderful coffee and fresh cakes. Although there are similar places on the street, my favorite is "Vanilla Black" There is a small garden in the back. The chef did wonders with the poached egg today! What an orange color! Just come here for a taste. You won't regret it... There are also two great libraries nearby. To pamper yourself, say hello to the friendly team... It's worth it. Thank you , see you soon.

A great seasonal menu with a focus on fresh and tasty ingredients. The current special is really delicious (Truffle Mushrooms). The peanut butter/jam porridge was also yumm! The poached eggs with Rose Harissa Beans are delish! They also make a great tasting coffee.
