gather round panini, black rock

Come for the panini, stay for the cinnamon scrolls! Gather Round Panini is a little gem in Black Rock serving up seriously tasty eats.

If you like your sandwiches big, loaded and a little bit fancy, Gather Round Panini in Black Rock needs to be on your list!

This is not your average ham-and-cheese panini. Think crispy roast pork with pickled carrot, cucumber, coriander and sticky soy ginger glaze, chicken schnitzel with mozzarella, avocado and basil pesto, or this mamma’s favourite prosciutto with stracciatella, pear, spiced pecans and fig mayo. Yep, these panini’s mean business!

There are plenty of options to choose from, including vegetarian and vegan choices, plus crispy chicken tenders and chips for the kids. Add some hot chips or sweet potato chips for the table and lunch is sorted.

Mamma’s tip, don’t leave without checking out the cinnamon scrolls! They’re hard to miss sitting on the counter when you walk in and are the perfect pairing with a coffee and a very good reason to try this place out even if you’re not having a panini.

And just when you thought this place couldn’t get any better the freshly made cold drinks come served in cans — a fun little twist on your usual cafe drink. There are also smoothies, juices and of course there’s coffee!

There’s plenty of room to settle in too. Grab a table out the front, sit inside or head out the back where there’s loads of space to spread out. Handy when you’ve got the kids, pram and all the other bits and pieces that somehow come along for every outing!
