Fantastic cafe with great coffee and delicious food. The staff were very kind too to kindly switch the bread from standard to gluten free after I forgot to request it due to dietary requirements (ceoliac) Will definitely go back 😋

My support worker and myself had a break from our moday menu planning and cooking. After I had a medical appointment, we went out for lunch here. A very pleasant experience for both of us. The food was delicious and they had gluten free orange cake which i loved. My support worker had a white choc and raspberry muffin to share with her partner and i hear it was delicious too. We both found the staff very helpful. It is very spacious inside and they have a disabled toilet available as well. Update: I took another support worker here all of an hour ago and it was fantastic. Great service and a delicious gluten free cake. I had yummy scrambled eggs and my worker had an egg and bacon roll. They have a fantastic gift shop, i bought 6 birthday cards. Unfortunately there is only one disabled car park and its a bit far away from the cafe. I would suggest someone speaking to the council to get more disability parking here. Regards, leonie. Have a nice day :)

This Cafe states they offer gluten free dishes but no safe practices are observed (such as separate toasters for gluten free bread, separate cooking utensils and pans for gluten free) therefore making it unsafe for those who medically cannot eat gluten. Even gluten free cakes & muffins were unsafe as they're stored right next to non gluten free items. This cafe is definitely not safe for anyone with Coeliac Disease. We were also served warm water & when asked for some cold water (twice) it never arrived. Disappointing.

We can highly recommend Black Alchemy Cafe in Blackburn! Cosy but spacious, bright, outdoor and indoor seating, great coffee and food! Had the 'Vege Stack', with halloumi cheese and pesto sauce with gluten free bread. Sooo good. $21.

So good I dug in without taking photos! I love bruschetta so much if it’s on the menu you bet your bottom dollar I’m ordering it. Now usually, this leaves me disappointed and thinking I could do a better job at home - Well, not this time! I had the pesto bruschetta special with gluten free bread. It was the BEST bruschetta I have ever had! Medley of tomatoes, seasoned to perfection, so garlicky and pesto-y and balanced that I ate all the rocket. The toast was soaked in the oils of the dish but still crisp. The mozzarella was so creamy and lots spread throughout the meal. Genuinely cannot speak highly enough of this dish considering the many, many let downs I’ve had else where. One of the best. My partner had the open omelette special. Again, good portion, soft, pillowy and creamy egg. We ordered coffee and it came out so quickly I didn’t have time to finish my sentence! It was so good we ordered a second. Plus an orange juice to share. Atmosphere is lovely, chill and family friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating with shade. Great ambiance to chat with friends and family without any blasting music. Tables are nice and big so you’re not bunched up and sitting next to a stranger. Chairs are comfy, I could easily spend a lot of time and money here simply because of how comfy and inviting the atmosphere is, I’m not rushing to get out the door. Staff are quick to respond, friendly and polite. You get the vibe that it’s the local place that everyone loves with their regular customers and kids talking and catching up with the staff. It really was such a great find and I will be coming back for sure! Thank you.
