Read: Restaurant Review: Blackboard
Following your dream can take sacrifice. For Nick Pearce, starting his first café meant selling his car, a difficult call to family to borrow some money, and he was on his way. Still a student at Bond University studying Business with an Entrepreneurship Major, Nick opened Blackboard, a coffee shop in Varsity Lakes. Nick embarked on a passionate mission to show people the best produce, to tell them where it came from, to take their hand and lead them to try different things, to extend their comfort zone, all in the name of food accountability and sustainability.

It’s also highly affordable. Whether you want blueberry pancakes, mushrooms and asparagus piled on toast with Persian fetta, eggs bene or just a hand squeezed fresh juice or smoothie, the crew will happily oblige. There’s no apathy here, just ‘can do’ attitude to burn!
