Ever wonder what the team actually eats when they’re off the clock? 🥢

This is Becca’s go-to—our Bun Thit Nuong. Usually, you’ll find Becca behind the machine making sure your coffee is spot on, but when she’s finally on a break, she’s almost always diving into this.

It’s a vibrant bowl of vermicelli noodles, crisp cucumber, pickled carrots and fresh herbs, topped with that signature slow cooked pork belly and plenty of peanuts for the crunch. It’s got those bags of global flavor we're obsessed with, but it won't leave you feeling sluggish for the rest of the shift. 🥬🔥

The "Barista's choice" pairing? Our Vietnamese Iced Coffee. The deep, dark roast and sweet condensed milk are the perfect match for the savory glaze on the pork. 🧊☕️

Fresh, fast, and exactly what the afternoon calls for.

Available for Lunch, Dinner Wednesday to Saturday & Collection/Delivery Friday & Saturday Nights

We’ve been working closely with our butcher to nail our own custom Merguez recipe. It’s packed with warming harissa, toasted spices, and plenty of garlic.

We’re serving it up with honey-glazed halloumi, fried egg, pickled cabbage, a fresh salad with dill, a dollop of yogurt, and a solid slice of sourdough. It's the ultimate upgrade to your usual morning routine.

Ever wonder what the team actually eats when they’re off the clock? 🥢

This is Emily’s GOAT meal—our Katsu Chicken. It’s been a staple on the menu for a long time, and honestly, it’s only gotten better as we’ve tweaked the recipe over the years. The recipe may have evolved but the one thing thats remained true is the fact we make this ourselves every time from scratch.

Emily looks after you all out in the front of house, but whilst she's making sure your time with us is perfect she's usually thinking about this crunchy panko breaded chicken breast and creamy sauce. One of the unsung heros of this dish...it’s that creamy sesame dressing on the cabbage. 🥬✨

If you’re feeling it, pair it with the new Umeshu Plum Cooler (pictured). The tartness of the Japanese plum cuts through the rich Katsu sauce perfectly. 🍑🍹

Just as popular today as the day we launched it. Come and see why it’s never left the menu.

We don't really do the whole 'sparklers and singing' thing. 🙅‍♂️🎂

But… we do love being the backdrop for your celebrations. We've had proposals, gender reveals, wedding breakfasts, birthdays... and everything in between.

The music is up, the drinks are cold, and we’ll bring the bags of flavor if you bring the people. 🥟🔥

If you’re joining us for something special—a birthday, a new job, or just making it to the weekend—drop us a note in your booking so we can join in the celebrations. x

A little road trip to visit our friends at Brazier Coffee Roasters... with a very cute co-pilot. 🐶☕️

We love getting out to see the people behind the ingredients we use every day. We spent the day at their new roastery, catching up with the team and loading up on a fresh batch of beans for the week ahead.

We’re proud to work with partners who are as obsessed with the craft as we are. It’s why that morning flat white hits the spot every single time.

We’re planning to do more of this—getting out and about to show you some of the incredible local businesses we partner with to make BLOCK what it is. We’ve also got some exciting news regarding our coffee coming soon, but for now...

Freshly roasted and ready to pour. Who’s in for a flat white? ☕️✨
