Black Coffee

Came in here on a Sunday, after visiting the farmers market, to buy a cold drink but instead settled for some free ice cold water from the pitcher. I quite liked the vibe and decor and returned today for a hot chocolate and some banana bread. Not as busy as it was yesterday but there’s a constant buzz of conversation and music in the background so not ideal for taking calls unless you want to sit outside by the tree lined side walk which provides adequate shade from the sun & you can also scan to order. The hot chocolate was nice and the banana bread was okay, just a tad dry. I’ll be back to try something else on the menu and enjoy the ambience.

Just stopped by after the Independence Day parade; despite being packed to the brim they were really fast with ordering and bringing out food. Besides serving coffee, they had several vegetarian and a few vegan dishes (incl one granola bar style pastry). We ordered the southwest grain bowl. It was very nice, nutritious, and a well-balanced mix of greens, grains, and dressing. At $15, it isn’t something I’d go out of my way for (or any price, really) but it filled in in a pinch and I was grateful they had vegan food. My partner thought the salad was really good and disagrees about not going out of the way; good flavor, tender and integrous beans, and vegan queso fresco complemented nicely. Also they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

I love this cafe. The food and coffees are great and they have some vegan and some gluten free options. They have always been super dog friendly as far as I’ve witnessed which I really appreciate (I am still cautious and I try not to over do it with my dog in restaurants. This isn’t really a place for dogs they just don’t seem to give people a hard time about it which is practical and humane). The people that work here have always seemed professional and kind. Also very well decorated! It’s so pretty
