BLND. Kitchen by Burleigh Bears

EVERYTHING I BREW, I BREW IT FOR YOU

Perk up with BLND. at the refreshed Burleigh Bears Leagues Club.

Okay so let’s profile some key ingredients to make the perfect eats and sips destination. Firstly, the numero uno rule in real estate applies (parking) and yeah, Burleigh Bears car park has plenty.

Secondly, an a la mode fit out is everything. With more on-trend cafes, eateries and watering holes than you can poke a swizzle stick at, the southern GC is a mecca for cool hunters and not to be shallow but in this instance, #looksmatter. And of course, the nosh, coffee and other drinks must be a solid ten (obvs), served by friendly folk who go out of their way to make their customers feel spesh.

Well, we have four letters for you; BLND., and yes it’s like BLEND sans the ‘E’ and this alone screams on-fleek. Scoring top marks in all of the above criteria, the breakfast brewing, tapas and gourmet wood-fire pizza slinging BLND. Kitchen is a keeper.

Not only is it in Miami but it’s at the front of local institution Burleigh Bears Leagues Club and holy reno Batman, have you seen this place lately #schmick. Rocking a clean and timeless monochrome aesthetic which marries in beautifully with the rest of the zhuzhed-up club, BLND.’s fresh design has broad appeal. Finding the balance between keeping the loyal club members happy and attracting new folk, Hutchinson Builders have nailed the brief.

You can choose to sit inside, or head outdoors to soak up the rays on the expansive deck – and that’s precisely where you’ll find us every day of the week. Quite literally in fact as it’s open – in some capacity – Monday to Sunday. Or, if you’d rather grab and go, Bob’s your Uncle coz you can do that too.

Whether you’re in dire need of a quality caffeine hit (again, us Every.Day) a d-lish breaky, brunch, or lunch, BLND. is where it’s at. A true chameleon, when midday rolls around Wednesday to Sunday it transforms from cracking café to tapas and pizzeria paradise. Boasting an Italian stone-based pizza oven, just remember to keep your friends close but your pizza closer.

Taking a deep dive into the menu, Head Chef Chris McIntyre and Head Barista Mack have you covered. Starting with breakfast coz this seems logical, we’re immediately drawn to the Sweet Potato Rosti. Picture two house made sweet potato rosti, two poached

eggs, fresh spinach, smashed avocado and tomato chutney, plus we’re ordering a side of house beans coz we can. To cool down we’ll grab a lime milkshake, plus a latte for the road made with organic coffee from fellow Burleigh biz Quest Roasters #supportlocal. Oh, and a Nutella Cronut because LBH life’s just better with cronuts.

Now let’s talk pizza and our vote goes to the Prosciutto and Rocket, with San Daniel prosciutto, Byron Bay buffalo mozzarella, parmesan, cherry tomatoes, baby pear and rocket. Or we could be swayed in the direction of the Roasted Vegetable Pizza with pumpkin, mixed assorted greens, Persian Feta, and roasted pine nuts.

If you’re a tapas devotee but totally indecisive and #CanRelate, its gotta be the BLND. Tasting Board. Think wagyu slider, soft shell Moreton Bay bug, sticky pork bao bun, mushroom arancini, salt and pepper squid, and sweet potato fries with roasted garlic aioli and cue the #foodgasm.

Just when you think this story can’t get sweeter, BLND. is furry friend friendly! So grab your mates, your fam, and your doggo and pop into Miami’s newest golden child, BLND. Kitchen.
