Black Dog Cafe Reviews
favourite place to go in town! i absolutely love studying at black dog or reading. it’s a great place to unwind. i love being able to take in the scenery outside. the staff are always incredibly kind and welcoming. couldn’t recommend this place more :)
One of my top three places in Tallahassee. Staff are incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about vegan diets. Specify that you're vegan up front and they will guide you towards drink options that will work for you because e.g. they will let you know that their chai syrup contains honey. They also have Outshine brand ice pops.
All of the baked goods and drinks I had were amazing and I was able to enjoy it all right next to Lake Ella which was full of honking geese....read full review
A cute and whimsy coffee shop with nice indoor seating and lots of outdoor seating. You can sit on the deck outside or walk down the ramp to sit by the pond under the trees. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Their hot mochas are great and their ice tea. They gave us a large dog biscuit for our dog too. Glad we found this on our travels.

Black Dog Cafe is a charming spot located at Lake Ella, perfect for breakfast or brunch followed by a stroll. The cafe offers great coffee options, including chai, and a variety of food like muffins, bagels, and delicious cinnamon buns. It has a simple yet well-priced menu, making it a popular choice for many. The scenic lakeside location features outdoor seating with a lovely view, ideal for working, relaxing, or enjoying a leisurely walk around the pond with a cup of coffee. The outdoor tables are spaced far apart, providing privacy, and there are plenty of ducks nearby. In the evening, the sunset across the water creates a very pretty scene. The friendly service and easy parking add to the experience, and the cafe has a small indoor seating area along with a large covered patio for guests to enjoy. For families, there is a dedicated play area for kids and a selection of books to read while savoring the coffee. The decor is a little eclectic but very homey, contributing to the welcoming atmosphere. Black Dog Cafe has been serving the community for 26 years and continues to be a beloved place for both locals and visitors.
