We booked ahead because there were 12 of us meeting there. Unfortunately, we got squeezed onto a table that was too small, which made it very crowded. That aside, the food was very good. I had the breakfast burrito (pictured) with a side of chips. The burrito was very tasty, and the chips were amongst the best I've ever had. The place was very busy, which made it very noisy and hard to talk to those further down the table.

Beautiful little stop for brekky with the family. Meals were large and perfectly balanced, with service being quick and attentive. I had the smashed avocado which was generous and so tasty, with halloumi and pickles options complimenting perfectly. Kids and good lady wife were very pleased with their meals also - don’t thing we will have room for lunch! Coffee was tasty - with only criticism being too much froth for a flat white. A beautiful spot.

Great service. Great food. Great coffee. Great vibes. For me, Blank Space has been the perfect pre-work pick-me-up stop over. I'm always greeted with a friendly smile and, even with plenty of punters about, there's always a chill atmosphere that's ideal if you still haven't fully cleared the morning brain fog, as is the case with me more often than not. The service is consistently fast, but not at the expense of the dishes, which are always generous and delicious. I'm heading back that way tomorrow to stay for a few days. Just as well, because my mouth has been watering while I've been writing this. Might look at the menu ahead of time and plan my brekkiesin advance.

Having read some of the reviews I was doubtful how this place would turn out. I shouldn’t have been at all concerned. It was Saturday morning around 9am, moderately busy, but we were greeted warmly and directed to a table. Atmosphere was light and spacious, vibe was lighthearted and friendly… staff were excellent and very attentive. Our coffee and sticky chai came out very quick and hot. My overly fussy coffee drinker other half was “complimentary” and declared the coffee ‘good’ (high praise indeed!) my sticky chai was delicious and warmingly enjoyable. Food came out quickly as well, had the eggs Benny and the dish was really very good. The eggs were poached beautifully…yolks perfectly oozy. The pulled beef…ate well, and the sauce balanced everything together nicely. Verdict - definitely worth a visit.
