This place is a delight. It's the perfect coffee shop. Ample tables, both indoor and out; bar seating for more casual/quick visits; great pastries; great food; great coffee; fast, friendly service. It really has become an instant favorite of mine!
As for specifics, they do a *great* breakfast sandwich, but you have to ask for a croissant instead of the default English muffin. They put a delicious cream cheese spread on it, which was new and delightful to me. Their mochas are quite good as well. 🧑🍳🤌

Coffee is just okay but pineapple coffee cake was delicious and the seating is great! Outdoor seating is so lovely and it’s in such a quaint area. Good place to work

Black coffee is the best! It's our go to breakfast spot in the area. We love the coffee and golden milk lattes! Pastries are consistently delicious. Breakfast potatoes will blow your mind. Most of all we love the environment and staff. They are always warm, pleasant and kind and the chef always has a smile on his face and always greets us along with other customers! It really always makes for a great morning. Plenty of outdoor seating suitable for furry friends as well!

Ive tried to get nitro brew here 3 times and they never have it. The regular cold brew they do have is very bitter so for my cold coffee fix this place hasnt been great. Other then that the food seems pretty good and the atmosphere is very hip.

I frequently visit this place for coffee and food, and I usually have a great experience. However, today I ordered to-go. When I got home, I found a long, dark black hair wrapped in the fried chicken. The other food items were fine, but this incident was quite unpleasant. I hope the restaurant can take more precautions to ensure the sanitation of the food.

I recently visited Black Coffee Restaurant for the first time and ordered their 'American Breakfast.' Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. The restaurant's ambiance is pleasant, with an attractive interior and popular outdoor seating. However, the service and food quality didn't match the inviting atmosphere.
When ordering, the cashier seemed disengaged, which set an unfortunate tone for the meal. The food arrived incomplete, requiring multiple requests for condiments and sides. The multigrain toast I ordered appeared to be regular untoasted bread, and the bacon was initially overcooked to the point of being inedible. The server, who later identified himself as the manager, apologized and offered to rectify the bacon issue. However, there was a significant delay in addressing the problem.
After finishing my eggs and waiting for about 15 minutes, I had to inquire about the status of the replacement bacon. This lack of follow-through was disappointing, especially from someone in a management role. When the bacon finally arrived, it was undercooked and excessively greasy, indicating a continued lack of attention to food quality. This experience demonstrated a concerning lack of attentiveness to customers' issues and overall food quality.
Throughout the meal, there seemed to be a persistent inattention to detail and a lack of proactive service. As a first-time customer, I was disappointed that the food and service didn't align with the restaurant's appealing appearance. While I appreciate that restaurants can have off days, this experience has made me hesitant about returning. I hope that Black Coffee Restaurant can address these issues to better serve their customers in the future.
Definitely reflecting inflation / economics - been coming here to BC for years and the portion ms and quality are declining while prices are going in the opposite direction. Sad reality

Best breakfast. Someone recommended the gluten free chocolate banana muffin and it was amazing and I’m not gluten free. The cheddar biscuit is so good too.

This seems to be like a Very busy place. The food isn’t bad but it can be a bit pricey. They have outdoor seating which is a nice option. I sat outside. I had the fried chicken sandwich which wasn’t bad. The fries seem to be a big hit for most customers. I like thicker fries usually but it was cool for the experience.
