Just a short trot from the beach back along Coogee Bay Road delivers hungry crowds to the doors of Black Pony Café, nestled into this trendy dining precinct. Fit out with rustic touches, Black Pony radiates an earthy warmth, with rough timber panels nailed to each wall and a long leather lounge bench luring weary travellers to relax and sink into comfort with a coffee in hand. Under the glow of retro lights, peruse for a tasty meal like buttermilk pancakes with fresh ricotta, caramelised banana, blueberries and maple walnut praline or opt for a changing special such as potato gnocchi with pumpkin, spinach, pine nuts, sage, lemon and nutmeg. With a delectable selection of sweet treats on offer, be sure to spare room for the likes of Nutella scrolls and white chocolate and pear muffins.
