About The Blacksmith

Belgrave locals treat this warm hub as their anchor for hearty breakfasts and house-baked sourdough. Morning crowds tuck into chilli scrambles with double toast or hefty burgers on soft milk buns before catching the train. In-house bakers turn out loaves of dark rye alongside flaky pain au chocolat, while the kitchen pays equal care to plant-based diners with mushroom bennies and lion's mane sandwiches. Order at the counter or scan from a cushioned booth, then wash it down with a silky flat white while toddlers sip sprinkle-topped babycinos.

  • In-House Scratch Bakery: Loaves of sourdough and dark rye baked on-site serve as meal foundations and take-home staples.
  • Plant-Forward Menu: Thoughtful plant-based choices include lion's mane mushroom sandwiches and mushroom benedict.
  • Family-Friendly Space: Dedicated play corners, books, and babycinos keep younger diners occupied while parents unwind.
