Black Gold

Reliable good quality espresso coffees - always made well by the barista. Breakfast and brunch dishes very tasty, especially the mushrooms. The toasted sandwiches are made with a very tasty sour dough bread and fillings are generous - one sandwich almost enough to feed 2.

Good little place for a coffee, when lock down ends will add them to the list of places to try food st. Great staff as well.

Awesome coffee and service. Our company's favourite cafe in Richmond. Top recommendation: their chicken sandwich is a 12 out of 10.

A busy cafe serving some great toasties and coffee.

My strong almond latte was perfect. There was some good milk froth, the coffee had a great flavour and I really enjoyed it.

My chicken toastie was free range chicken breast, avocado, fried egg and chilli mayo. OMGosh this was amaaazing! The sourdough toast was delicious, there was a generous serving of chicken breast, the avo and the mayo was yummy w a good hit of spice, and its one of the best toasties I've had in, well, far too long! Lol.

And the Caprese vegetarian toastie was equally as good. This had fresh mozarella, tomato and basil pesto. One again the toastie was perfectly cooked, the sourdough was soo tasty, the pesto yummy and everything tasted so good!

This is my new favourite cafe and its not surprising that this cafe was doing a roaring trade when I was there.

Just off Swan St, this cafe is a must visit.

If I want to be sure that the coffee I’m going to get is going to be absolutely lip-smacking delicious, this is one of the places I come to.

My boyfriend and I went out for brunch today for the first time since lockdown started and we were VERY IMPRESSED!
We already know the lattés and other milk coffees here are brilliant because we’ve been before, but today we tried the batch brew for the first time which was phenomenal as well (loads of lovely flavours coming through).
We had a Reuben sandwich and the green fritters and not a scrap was left on either plate - the presentation of the food was wonderful and it tasted even better! I tried a bite of my boyfriend’s Reuben (without the meat because I’m veggie) and it was still DELICIOUS even without the main component!
To top it all off, our server Jo was friendly and very helpful from the start! She was quick to take our orders and her excellent service made our experience all the more enjoyable.
Absolutely excellent cafe and deserves to be packed (as it was) ALL THE TIME!

Really tasty and well-plated brunch fate, great coffee, and the friendliest staff.
We were really lucky to find this place alive and kickin' during this weird time of the year where a lot of cafes are closed. Will definitely come back even when others are back open - thanks!

Coffee was great, and the breakfast menu served the purpose, however it would.be good if they had one or two more lunch style options.

Acai pancakes are a visual and taste feast. Pea fritters really great too. Nice coffee, good tea, cool vibe and really friendly staff.

Didn't have the hash dish anymore sadly which I was wanting to get for a few months now but the smashed avo with a side of salmon was great

Really small little place but really great brunch. I had the açaí pancakes which were so yummy, not super sweet and a large portion. The coffee here is amazing.

Probably the best brunch breakfast and coffee we have had while travelling over the last 7 weeks. Delicious and great variety. Also good for those chasing the perfect instagram food upload. Staff very accomodating and friendly also.

Amazing breakfast! Tiny and cozy space, the staff was uber friendly; the salmon (Benedict) was perfectly done and all other plates we’ve ordered (eat your greens & pancakes) not only delicious but presented with a lot of love to details. Highly recommended (just try to come before 10am so you get a spot;)

Hands down THE BEST cafe in Richmond (if not whole of Melbourne)!
They serve the yummiest breakfast/brunch and lunch dishes, prepared with so much love and detail. I can highly recommend their chilli crab scramble, it's to die for. Thank you & keep up the great work, guys.

Awesome food and great coffee with a good range of non dairy options. I ordered the green fritters and they were super tasty! Fluffy, green n healthy. I felt great after eating them! My friend had the crab scrambles egg and super enjoyed them. Coffee was lovely and super enjoyable. I tried a oat milk coffee for the first time and it was surprisingly tasty!

Cute little cafe tucked away in a quiet Richmond side street. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Great friendly service. Nice menu and pastry case fully of treats. Coffee was excellent!

Extra friendly staff. Only issue was the seating.a bit hard and the stools/table height made it uncomfortable for taller people to sit. Apart from that good coffee and really delicious food. We both enjoyed the chilli egg with crab meat.the wagyu beef Benedict was a bit over salted but manageable.

Consistently decent coffee and friendly staff plus open 365 days a year which is super handy. Have only eaten here once but had a good experience. Fresh produce and tasty food. Delicious baked goods as well! Our local go-to

Came for breakfast. Busy place. First coffee arrived quickly. Ordered the fritters and the waitress questioned our order of fritters 15min later. Ordered another coffee, which was finished 30min later when we asked how long our order would be. Waitress advised us that it takes 30min to prepare and cook fritters and that it would be ready within 10min. When the fritters eventually arrived 20min later they were less than hoped for given our long wait. They were more like pan-fried patties that didn't have much flavour and were oily and stodgy. No pictures as the meal was unmemorable.

Great service and it s fast even when the place was full. Coffee was nice and hot. I ordered the wagu benny beef and it was a winner. Would do it any day of the week. Highly recommended.
