Spectacular drinks and their cinnamon buns are amazing! Definitely try the black dog frappe.

Kid-friendliness: They have a whole play area for kids and a bunch of books you can read while enjoying your coffee.

Morning after seeing the Hurricane Alert in Tallahassee , we thought of looking for a good place to have a coffee. Searched the for the new place and got “Black Dog Cafe”. Just went there to explore and found that this is serving by women for last 26 years. There are lot of options in coffee and snacks. The staffs are so friendly and jolly. Place is lakeside and nice arrangement of seating. Truly like and love this place , for sure will visit again !!!!

Has been a favorite over the years but the quality of service, the drinks, and the experience has gone down over time and is never consistent. Took 25 minutes for them to toast a bagel and not even spread the cream cheese on it for me at 3p with no one ahead of me? Also, my chai was not good - I think something off with the ratios or milk? Generally rude staff. I’ll keep coming back because I’ve loved it since 2015 but was amazed by the recent bad experience.

This is the cutest coffee shop in Tallahassee, hands down. When moving to Tallahassee, I was looking for a cute, inviting, non-chain coffee shop with good coffee, and Black Dog Cafe goes well beyond that. The employees are incredibly kind, it’s woman owned for over 25 years, so many options as far as coffee, great pastries/food, and had the cutest indoor and outdoor seating, right on the lake. I cannot recommend this place enough. Every free morning I had was spent here!

This cafe is tucked away near Lake Ella!
It exudes a cool, laid-back atmosphere, reminiscent of the 70s! Coffee was delish & gluten free baked goods were a welcome & tasty surprise! The outdoor deck offers sunny & shady tables with well positioned canopies! They even sport a kiddie corner inside! I can’t wait to take my Grandson!
They offer t-shirts with cool graphics for Ladies & Gents, too!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free locally baked goods!
Their menu offers milks, 1/2&1/2, almond milk & more to fluff up your coffee.

Parking: Free parking, just steps from the entrance!

Kid-friendliness: There is a kids’ corner inside with books, toys & games, & comfy furniture.

Lovely little tucked away coffee house. Difficult to see from the street, the sign is tiny and low to the ground. The prices are reasonable and views of the lake are beautiful. I spent $9 for a latte and zucchini bread. Very popular spot, so seating can be a challenge, especially if it has been raining, but worth a visit.
