Joe Black Cafe

Best Known For

Slow-cooked housemade Bolognese mince and onsen poached eggs, on sourdough toast.

Tucked into a maze of streets in Surry Hills just a short walk south of Hyde Park, sneak off to enjoy work breaks at Joe Black Café along Commonwealth Street. A quirky mix of elements creates a cosy vibe inside this daytime retreat, from polished floorboards to bright green tiles and a black and white mural depicting the evolution of man and coffee over time. Take a seat and peruse an all-day menu of sumptuous fare as diners make a decision between Five Senses, single-origin and cold drip coffee. Opt for early morning dishes like Stormin Norman – Spanish onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado mash, onsen poached egg and smoked salmon, on toasted sourdough - or perhaps return later for a healthy lunch of Atlantic salmon salad, seasonal greens and housemade light dressing.
