It's a little coffee shop inside of the book store and it honestly feels quite quiant. Super friendly staff. The iced coffee tasted great and while it's something fairly simple, my toasted bagel was done just right. If I'm ever around the area again and looking for a coffee, Black Bear will definitely be where I head to.

Just because the café manager is my best friend doesn't mean that I don't mean it when I give the place five stars. Good food good drink attractive café and book displays, and very cool staff. ?

worst manager ever.i was there for two hours, doing my work and got a soup. the manager kept disturbing me and asked me to leave. i was planning on leaving anyway and 2 hours isn’t a big deal considering how empty the cafe was. anyway, he turns the power off of my plug point and my work drive got ejected without me facilitating that. Completely unacceptable. i will never ever go back here and my friend (who came with her son) was also thrown out coz they had been there for 90 mins. the food itself is pretty mid and expensive.

The worst experience ever. My friend, my little son, and I have never experienced such a horrible, poor and extremely rude service. Just seconds after we put down our stuff to a free table at the cafe, a male worker approached us with a rude remark what we can't sit here if we don't order. We were shocked and weirded out because we were on our way to order food and drinks, however we let it go and enjoyed for a while a chat about the project we are working on over a coffee and soup. However the man came back after an hour or so demanding that we "pack up our workspace". My son is not used to be talked to like that and cried on the way back home. I traveled the world and visited almost all continents and have never been treated with so much disrespect before. I am extremely disappointed to have places like that in my neighborhood. I will never ever step my foot in this place and will let know all my friends to do the same.
Love this cafe. Right inside of Belmont Books, you can have a bite to eat and then shop for your favorite novels. Such a cute spot.They have a variety of pastries that are all locally sourced from neighboring communities which is awesome. There are also staple cafe drinks such as coffees, teas, and more.Definitely check this place out!

I'm a regular here and their service is always fast and friendly. The baked goods aren't made in house but are local and the coffee is well crafted.Kid-friendliness: This shop is located in a bookstore. Plenty of things to look at while you wait for your drink to be made.Parking: The smaller lot is free just behind the store.
