Blackwood Barbers
Every man needs a reliable and skilled barber in his life.

This is why many guests keep coming back to Blackwood Barbers! When entering the store, Jo and her hand-picked team who collectively have over 50 years of experience in the industry, want you to feel welcome and never, ever rushed.

Their recently refurbished space oozes a fresh vibe without losing the traditional barbershop look and feel, plus, it’s also a great place to look for a gift no matter where you are in the world.

With a warm, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere from the moment you walk in, guests are made to feel spoilt (like you deserve) with a lovely hair wash and head massage, and a selection of delicious coffee and teas to suit your style.

Blackwood Café & Espresso Bar
In the heart of the beautiful tree-lined Blackwood Street Business precinct, you’ll find one of Mitchelton’s most buzzing cafes, Blackwood Cafe & Espresso Bar. Local owners Hayley and Jaimi opened the cafe in Dec 2016 with one thing in mind – to become Mitchelton’s go-to coffee and brekky place. With their passion for providing exceptionally fast service along with fresh, seasonal, and exciting new dishes, the cafe quickly grew to become a local community hub! The large 130-seat cafe has a quirky vintage style dining room and a large expansive veranda surrounded by bamboo, jacaranda trees, and natives. It’s the perfect setting for a relaxed brekky with the fam on the weekend, mid-week meetings, or if you simply need some ‘me time’ with a hot cuppa and a bite to eat before you continue your day. Just by taking a sneak peek at their menu, it’s easy to see why the locals can’t get enough. Their all-day breakfast is unbeatable. We’re talking everything from a hearty big brekky, classic smashed avo, their renowned ‘Benny’s on Blackwood’ range, to loaded French toast and house-made granola bowls with fresh seasonal fruit. For all the savoury fiends out there, their lunch menu is your match! The halloumi burger is a crowd pleaser along with their gluten-free and vegan options.
