Friendly staff with great service. Food was lovely. Coffee ☕️ was slightly bitter for my taste. I feel it was just a roast that wasn’t to my taste.

Perfect coffee, a delicious hotcake, and a brilliant atmosphere. Such a great spot for brunch.

We hosted a bridal shower at the Albert's Table at Kettle Black. It was the perfect intimate space above the cafe. The event staff were very responsive from day one and the staff on the day were very organised and lovely! The set menu was great and they even catered for dietries! We can't thank the staff enough for letting us host the perfect event here! Look forward to visiting again soon!

Highly recommend! The food and coffee were delicious coupled with great service and a modern, stylish but minimalist environment - will definitely come back!

Unfortunately seems like the food is all about the aesthetic, rather than substance. The restaurant was freezing inside, loud music blaring at 9:30am on a Sunday…food was very basic and small portions considering the high price point. Coffee served lukewarm, iced matcha milky, and hotcakes seemed like they were made the day before as they were dense and hard. Warm breakfast salad was a lot of kale and not much else…Wish I had better things to say about this cafe but left very disappointed…
