About The Blackberry Café
The Blackberry Cafe is situated on the corner of the main street in Thomastown and provides a traditional atmosphere complete with fresh, home-made baking and principally organic and locally sourced ingredients and produce. Originally an old shoemaker’s shop, it has been lovingly and extensively restored, retaining the eighteenth century frontage, with its characteristic large Georgian-paneled windows now painted a fresh tea green, and adorned with a magnificent sculptural blackberry.
The bright, airy interior has a comfortably minimal style, with a custom-made, hand-built counter displaying the mouth-watering cakes, tarts and scones, which are freshly baked daily by Jackie herself. “I am offering high quality, home-made delicacies, concentrating on natural produce with no artificial flavours or preservatives.”


Suppliers
We’re very proud at The Blackberry Café to be able to support and help sustain local farmers and artisan producers. Our vegetables, cheeses, breads and more are sourced very close to home.
