The Black Fork

The most amazingly delicate Christmas mince pie filled with beautifully plumped fruit and coffee made by people who care - just what I needed late on a busy Saturday.

I would like to give this cafe a big thumbs down. I have been here previously and had a nice soup but today it was watery like it had been watered down at the end of a batch. Very disappointing.

Tidy, clean, with good seating options inside and out. The BlackFork is situated in the Burnside Village Shopping Centre Glenside. I enjoyed a very good coffee, with a complimentary chocolate. The serve was friendly and helpful. Good call
