  Came here a while ago with some friends and ordered the chilli crab scramble, scrambled eggs on toast, not another smashed avo, and gnocchi!

  The place itself was rather tight, with little seats available. Tables were placed very close to each other as well, so this isnt the place for a peaceful brunch and deep conversation.
  The staff however, were friendly and was efficient in getting our orders.

  Chilli crab scramble: The presentation was rather messy and sloppy, not the most instagrammable dish haha but we all agreed that the taste makes up for it! Definitely order it if you want a different twist to the ordinary scrambled eggs and toast.

  Scrambled eggs on toast was simple and delightful, with generous ingredients.

  For myself, I ordered the not another smashed avo with mushrooms on the side, and was very impressed with the food presentation. Looked like an art piece! Although every element of the dish complimented each other, I felt that the pita bread was too soft and chewy and did not complement the smashed avo as well as I expected. If it was toasted, it might have been better?

  The gnocchi portion was also generous and beautifully plated. The pumpkin pure really elevated the gnocchi and brought the dish together.

  I would come back again, but probably not on a weekend afternoon just because of the crowd and lack of seats.

  In this squishy space off the main strip lies a local gem to enjoy good quality Sunday brunch. We made our selections from the small but varied menu and started eyeballing all the temptations coming out from the kitchen.

  My Acai Pancakes were beautifully framed with an array of fruits and flowers. The texture was more bread than pancake (is it meant to be like that?) but it was still delicious, complemented by the whipped ricotta and toasted coconut. My friends loved their Chilli Crab Scramble and Green Fritters, with artful use of spices and ingredients to create taste and flavour.

  Friendly service buoyed by the server and one of our friends both originating from Hamburg, the offerings here deserve their high ratings. There are too many tables and chairs for the real estate available, making the high density quite uncomfortable. This was exacerbated when the group beside us tried to squeeze 6 people in a spot that’s better for 2-3!

  My partner and I visited Black Gold hankering for some high quality brunch and thats exactly what we got. I ordered the Brisket Benny, a dish that has a spot on most caf menus, but is done exceptionally well at Black Gold. The rich hollandaise, egg and whatever else is on the plate is great, but all youll be thinking about for the rest of your week, perhaps life, is the beef and how succulent it is. I normally scoff at descriptors like 12 hour slow cooked grass fed but when I finished my meal, I genuinely believed that Black Gold have slow cookers on overnight and that these cows lived their best possible lives. Probably one of the top few, if not the best Benedict dish that Ive had so far.

  We also ordered the Mushies on Toast- a staple brunch dish that delivers simplicity with great flavour. With one poached egg, one slice of buttered sourdough toast, and a handful of mushrooms all laid on their version of mushroom ketchup, we cant deny how tasty it is. The only thing was that towards the last few bites, the mushroom ketchup flavour was getting a bit heavy, and quite overpowering- got a little sickening in the end.

  Nevertheless, Black Gold is a small cafe offering big flavours and enjoyable dishes!

  Nice setting. Staff were lovely. Ordered the crab meat scrambled eggs and my friend ordered the mushroom dish. They were both awesome. Scrambled eggs were perfectly silky & the crab meat delicious. My feedback is that neither dish were that large. I think if you were super hunrgy, you’d want to order a couple of sides. Although, food is pretty pricey. I would be interested in coming back to try the sandwiches, they look great & more on the cheap side too. Also, wait staff could be a little more attentive early on.

  Ive tried soy latte, almond latte, oat latte, and then Black Gold has macadamia milk which is not as common in many cafes. I tried their macadamia latte and I loved it. As for the food, I had a delicious plate of Crab Benedict. The portion may look small but once I was done, I actually think it was the perfect portion. I want to come back for their acai pancakes for sure.

  This cafe has become more popular in the past months, we live just walking distance but never went. We finally decided to go it a go and luckily they didnt disappoint us. Staffs were friendly and coffee was strong and yummy, food was tasty and worth to go back again for.

  A little cafe with lovely staff and a wonderful atmosphere. Theres limited seating (indoor & outdoor). The interior is neat and simple, with the addition of some hanging plants and pot plants. The smash avo had an interesting twist – one that we appreciated (house made haloumi fries). The acai pancake was warm and fluffy whilst the seasonal fruits were fresh and tasty. Both dishes were visually appealing and served in generous portions. The coffee and tumeric latte were also delicious. (We added sugar for a more sweeter taste though.) Overall, we were very happy with this place.
