  Couldn't go to the Gold Coast without stopping into Bb before heading home. I can't say it was the best coffee I've had from here, although baristas seemed busy. Enjoyed my visit non-the-less

  Have visited Blackboard a couple of times lately, once with family and the other time with friends, only to find both times that the coffee and teas were served at a tepid temperature. Pity, as this expanding cafe has a great vibe and reputation.

  Today, my first piccolo of the day was legitimately the best one I have had.

  This is one of my favourite specialty coffee establishments. Both coffee and food are excellent. Coffee is as good as DandD, Cleanskin, One Drop, etc. I have been here 3 times and come down from Brisbane. They could improve service, my only complaint is the slow service, over 15 mins for coffee on... Read more

  This place is the real deal - definitely worth travelling for. My coffee (piccolo) was absolutely flawless in flavour and presentation. The blend was full of depth and silky smooth - thoroughly enjoyable. Also love the fit out, service is great, and food is good. If you're in the area - this place... Read more

  They work hard to consistently make great coffee here and I had one of my most memorable singles of the year recently - glad I tried it after yet again not being able to come to terms with their house blend which is probably just a personal thing.

  Cup coffee is running great at the moment and these guys are doing it justice. I like that they use slightly smaller cups for their take aways. I had a doppio latte, in their 6oz cup, and it was sensational.
  
  Fit out has changed since I was last there. Not sure if I like it as much,... Read more

  I am going to dedicate my 50th review to the place where it all started, Blackboard.
  This past week I have had some memorable coffees in the form of long blacks, mini long blacks (not quite a shortie not quite a LB), piccolo and aeropress amongst others.
  
  Since bursting onto... Read more

  Today the boys at Blackboard were on the money. A well balanced short machiatto had some nice flavours and left a very pleasant aftertaste. I stupidly purchased a Orange and Lemon juice that was just brimming with sour lemon and somewhat ruined my experience but being a coffee forum I'll say it as... Read more

  The Gold Coast finally has a specialty coffee shop to call its own! I drove 90+ kilometers to check these guys out and it was worth the drive. I may be corrected on this but the Gold Coast isn’t well known for its specialty coffee shops so when word started spreading about Blackboard a few months... Read more

  Ordered a double ris piccolo with there single origin Kenyan roast ... the milk was slightly burnt and the extraction seem just out as there was a bitterness and acidity with the first few sips ... it was also a small latte and hence a milkier coffee than I felt like ... it cost me $5.00 and I...

  Could this be the start of a coffee renaissance on the Gold Coast? I still can't believe a place like Blackboard Specialty Coffee actually exists here, not to mention just 5 minutes from my folks' home - now I finally have a good reason to visit them :)

  Coffee worth travelling for - travel here and drink this coffee! People are great, we did it short and black and loved it that way, we did it pour over style - awesome!
