Adios for now to one of our regular #! ✈️🇪🇸
We’re officially going to miss having this guy around the shop. Our Spanish friend is heading back home, and it’s definitely not going to be the same without his energy.
Wishing you the best of luck with everything next, mate. Safe travels, and we better see you back here soon for a coffee! ☕️🙌
¡Buen viaje! 👋✨

We’re back! 🌟 After thinking we might have to close our doors for good, we’ve been given a second chance and we couldn’t be more grateful. Starting tomorrow, we are back behind the counter serving the Di Lorenzo coffee you love and the homemade Lebanese food we’ve missed sharing with you. 🇱🇧☕️ I have missed this community so much and I’m beyond excited to see all those familiar faces again. Come say hi—we’re here until further notice! 🙌✨

To our incredible Black Groodle family,
As we wrap up our 11th year, we’re feeling extra grateful for the story we’ve written together. What started as a cafe in Ultimo has truly become a community hub, and that is all thanks to you. ❤️💚🎄
To our amazing staff—past and present—you are the heartbeat of this place. We’ve worked side-by-side, shared countless memories, and we’re so proud to call many of you lifelong friends and family.
To our loyal locals and friends: thank you for being part of our journey. We wish you all a safe holiday and a very Merry Christmas! ☕️🎄🥰

To our amazing Groodle Family�thank you! As we celebrate 11 incredible years, we want to share the personal story behind The Black Groodle.

The idea was born from nostalgia. When I moved out, I missed my mother's Lebanese cooking the most. It wasn't about fine dining; it was about the love and care in those home-cooked meals.

That feeling became our mission. We sought out mothers and home cooks who prepare food with love, creating dishes that taste like they came from your family kitchen.

Our success showed that everyone craves honest, lovingly prepared food. We're proud to offer authentic options for our Vegan and Gluten-Free Groodle Family members too.

Our story isn't over yet!
While we step away briefly, we are thrilled to announce that we are planning to be back next year for a very special, limited-time run!
It will be a short period, but we promise to bring back those comforting, home-cooked Lebanese flavors and the warmth you love. We are finalizing the details, but we wanted you to be the first to know.
Hold tight for a new announcement in the coming months! Don't go far—we're not done cooking yet. 😉
With all our love and appreciation,
The Black Groodle Team 🖤

What a bittersweet morning! 🥹 We were so honored to host the Year 12 students from IGS (and their wonderful parents!) for their end-of-year breakfast celebration before their final school assembly.
Thank you so much for the beautiful card and for the truly heartwarming words each of you shared. It meant the world to us at The Black Groodle.
We wish you all the absolute best as you start your new journeys! You will be missed, but we hope to see those familiar, smiling faces again at our next venture next year! ❤️

Sweet escape! 🍰🍍 Indulging in a slice (or two) of heavenly pineapple cake. 🌴 Who else loves the tropical twist of pineapple in their baked goods? 🤤 #ᴄᴀᴋᴇʟᴏᴠᴇ
