Blacksmith Cafe is easily one of my favourite cafes in Sydney. Located in Surry Hills right opposite Prince Alfred Park and Central Station, it’s also super close to my office so great to pop in for takeaway or dine in. They serve proper comfort food perfect for these freezing cold winter months, and the cafe itself is super on-trend, with an industrial vibe – think rustic woods, copper and brass, but with softer touches like hanging plants everywhere to break up the harsh metals and wood. The food is just incredible, so I had to tell you guys about it!
I don’t tend to take my camera to work with me, so you’ll have to put up with phone pics (soz). When
Jasiminne was in town she was leaving early Friday evening, so we met for lunch and I *knew* she would adore Blacksmith just as much as I do.
Jasiminne chose The Big Blacksmith, which consists of
eggs, bacon, grilled chorizo, mushrooms, tomato, baked beans, hash brown, and sourdough toast. Oh my days it was a total feast, and I defo got a bit of food envy (who wouldn’t)!
I chose a delicious concoction of hash browns with a pea smash, two poached eggs, watercress, and hollandaise sauce. It was INCREDIBLE. So incredible you guys!!! The flavours were out of this world and the entire dish just tasted so delish.
Their all-day breakfast (until 2:30pm) is my fave thing because it means you can have brunch dishes even at lunchtime. Is it just me who thinks all-day breakfasts are the best!? Pretty sure it’s most people’s fave thing!
After brunch/lunch there’s a variety of delish cakes, muffins, cookies etc to choose from to take back to the office for an afternoon snack! I’m on a no sugar month this month, but as soon as it ends on 28th June I’m going straight to Blacksmith to get one of their amaze muffins!
Whether you live in Sydney or are just visiting, Blacksmith is one of my top cafe recommendations. It’s just one of those ‘must visit’ cafes that really provides the very best Australian cafe experience – especially in the cooler months when you need some comfort food!
