Why Choose The Blacksmith?

The Blacksmith is a rare find in Belgrave, a working bakery that doubles as a full café, patisserie and gourmet burger bar with genuine kitchen skills. The sourdough and pastries (especially the croissants) draw regular mentions, the burgers arrive substantial and well-made, and locals consistently praise the helpful staff and fair prices for the quality.

About The Blacksmith

If you're after a bakery in Belgrave that's also a proper place to sit down and eat, The Blacksmith fits the bill. It runs as a bakery, patisserie, café and gourmet burger bar all in one, and the focus is on hand-crafted food. The cabinets are full of cakes, tarts and French croissants, and the sourdough is what a lot of people mention first.

Locals will tell you the burgers deserve a mention too. We hear they come out big, with good milk buns and chips good to order on the side, and there's a plant-based vegetable burger that one person said left them not missing meat at all. For a toddler there's a mini chicken burger with fries. Breakfast and brunch get a good run as well: the chilli scramble comes with two pieces of toast, the homemade baked beans have a bit of spice, and the sourdough on a brekky plate gets a thumbs up.

Dietary needs are well covered, with vegan, gluten-free and allergy-specific options on offer. Custom wedding and special occasion cakes are made to order, and they do catering, takeaway, delivery and kerbside pickup alongside dine-in. One group enjoyed a cake-decorating afternoon here, with everything supplied and an easy, relaxed feel.

The vibe is artsy and a little quirky. Ordering and seating are in separate rooms, which suits some people and feels a touch disjointed to others, and one visitor found their table hadn't been wiped. Still, the helpful staff come up often, and prices are described as fair for the portions, including arancini balls the size of tennis balls.

It's an easy stop on the way to or from a Puffing Billy ride, about a short walk from the station car park. Opening hours vary through the week, so check before you head in.
