Thoroughly enjoyed the melt in mouth salmon which was accompanied by a refreshing tangy salad. The oat cappuccino that I had tasted decent, though I thought their sister brand Higher Ground did a slightly better job. The ricotta hotcake came beautifully decorated with fruits and seeds and was quite large and thick. The hotcake itself is not sweet which helps balance off with the syrup that’s poured over it. Kettle Black a lovely place to hang out if you managed to snag a good seat. My only issue is that they seem to discriminate single diners and assign them to stools instead of proper seats even though a booking had been made and I was not just having coffee but a full meal.

Best brunch experience in a while at The Kettle Black. This place offers booking so you can enjoy brunch without the usual lining up and wait. We ordered large coffees and the price is great compared to other places. The dishes we choose are Sicillian Chilli Scrambled Eggs and Brisket Benedict. They are both delicious with the Brisket being the winner of the two. The brisket melt in your mouth and the milk bread pair with it perfectly. Only suggestions is that the mushroom might be better served warm. They didn’t have weekend surcharge, so you get better value for your money, highly recommended!

Great experience! Gets busy on weekends but we did still get placed on a table straight away. Good selection of food, can recommend the banana waffles if you’re looking for something sweet!

Food wise not bad. Coffee was good. Service was not bad too. Would be good if they have heaters on the outside during winters. Blankets can only warm the legs and not very hygienic passing from one customer to another. Can get quite crowded so bookings are recommended.

Vibrant with the decor, beautiful ambience - we landed at this Cafe in my neighbourhood this morning. Just tried one dish from the menu - chilli scramble as we were pretty full. Scrambled eggs were perfect. Been a long time to see such a beautiful scramble in a cafe. Wasn't overcooked or too runny. Just perfect! Beautiful combination of Nduja and scrambled eggs! Love the service- everyone is very welcoming and with a big smile :) Will visit again for more! Love the idea of the coffee shop outside. It is a vibe!

Coffee is cold and average taste. The service was slow, but scrambled eggs were really delicious and the hot cakes were beautiful. Noodle is not recommended.
