Elderberry Blacks Café

"Me and my partner popped in as we were enjoying a Friday off from work and wanted takeaway sandwich’s with drinks. We were greeted by the owner (so we were told) who was not polite, and when we asked to use a local discount scheme for 10 percent off the food only that the cafe has signed up for (its free for them to be on the scheme) we were told it was only to be used for one person. The strange thing is the cafe accepted it three times previously . When we asked why it was accepted previously the response was as a cafe we can’t afford it moving forward. So on our food the total discount would have been approximately £1.00 but instead we could only get 50p off! If you can’t afford that level of discount then I’m sorry but you should not be in business! The manager was unprofessional, rude and aggressive from the start. Her response was “what’s your problem” So we left to go to a chain instead. We have never been spoken to like that as customers before. Not sure if she was having a bad day but some how tried to turn the whole thing around on us. Very weird. Will not be returning again because of the manner we were dealt with as customers!"

"Couldn't have hot meal as they were getting ready for a function but what we had was nice quirky little place really got character"

"Second visit for a lunch. I had bacon brie & cranberry sandwich and my friend had jacket potato. Both were delicious. The service is excellent and the café is very clean."

"Had the most wonderful breakfast with my daughter last Saturday and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The menu had a great selection of mean to choose from and when we ordered they came in a timely manner and were absolutely delicious. I will certainly be going back again as the cakes looked amazing too!"

"After a beautiful ride to the historic town of Knowle I was, as I always am, gasping for a coffee. I entered the period Elderberry Blacks Cafe, warmly welcomed by a lovely member of staff. The interior is well thought out, catering for the current COVID social distancing legislation. The detailing doesn't stop there. There are cool neon signs, retro adverts and cakes, many baked goods, strutting for your attention. I'm happy to give a few pointers on getting that flatwhite crafted to perfection;) They do cater for the ever increasing vegan population with a range of non-dairy milks. I'm sure the same thoughtfulness has been put into their food menu too. I shall return, probably with a big group of hungry cyclists."
