The Blackberry Cafe in Thomastown

14/10/2024: Well worth a detour to visit one of Thomastown's foodie hotspots! A lovely fusion of South African & French, I'm still working my way through their various culinary delights, so waited a while before giving a review! Their daily lunch specials are always worth a try, and as with everything else on their menu, it is all made from scratch, clearly with high quality ingredients, given the flavours they manage to achieve. The highlight for me however, has to be the exquisitely layered & flaky pastries, by far the best I've had anywhere!!..including France!!! Service is always so friendly & attentive, and Julien & Ashika are always so warm & welcoming, with a clear passion for what they do! Don't be put off by the slightly underwhelming exterior...I for one am very happy they found Thomastown!! After seeing what they turned out for a one-off Fathers Day full Lunch this year, I'm hoping that it's a case of watch this space, with even more to come from them!...No pressure guys!!! Congrats on your recent Blas na hÉireann awards too!!
