The Black Penny exudes a charmingly quaint atmosphere, hidden away in a bustling area that offers a delightful escape for breakfast and brunch enthusiasts. The menu is a testament to modern breakfast offerings, featuring inventive dishes like the Crispy Duck Hash—marrying sweet potatoes with crispy duck and crowned with a poached egg—and the classic "Hunter," which showcases perfectly poached eggs, sausage, grilled tomatoes, and home-made baked beans. Known especially for its freshly prepared meals, everything from the scrambled eggs to the vibrant salads brims with flavor. Although the space inside is cozy, with intuitively friendly service and additional seating options available at the back or outside, reservations are recommended due to the restaurant's popularity. This eatery’s coffee selections, including a well-regarded cortado, complements the food beautifully, making The Black Penny an essential stop for those craving top-notch breakfast fare and lively conversation.
