Black Bear Café Reviews
Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned cafe-bookstore combo? It’s awesome enough that we’ve got a bookstore back in Belmont Center, and the cafe really sweetens the deal. (Also the bear on the menu is bomb!)
Small but robust selection of books. Great to pick up a volume on the book side and a Redeye and an Everything Bagel on the other side. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly.

Black Bear Café is a cozy spot nestled inside a bookstore, creating a charming and welcoming atmosphere. The friendly staff contribute to a warm environment, making it a great place to relax with a good book and a drink. The café serves excellent iced coffee and perfectly toasted bagels, with a menu that features a variety of locally sourced pastries and staple café drinks. There is always at least one vegan baked good option, and sometimes their soup is vegan, adding to the variety. The bookstore is a lovely space, with ladders that move along a wall of books, reminiscent of a fairytale setting. The shop also offers tiny trinkets and gift cards, adding to its charm. Seating can be limited, so it’s a good idea to check before ordering. The café is fully accessible, with an elevator to the upper floor and wheelchair-friendly features. Overall, Black Bear Café is an ideal place to enjoy a coffee, browse books, and experience a cozy, friendly environment.
