You can not be on island and not visit Black Dog. Their chocolate cake will make you gasp. Amazing.

We stopped in for some hot tea. They serve organic tea and lots of baked goods and dog treats. The atmosphere was relaxing, the staff were friendly and an enjoyable time. The sweet treats were excellent. No allergen items offered.

Friendly staff. Great place to meet for coffee. Baked goods taste like white sugar. Soup and sammies are average. Plenty of parking and a nice restroom.

A mixed blessing...I had probably the best birthday cake I've ever had in the US from the Black Dog: A chocolate mousse cake with layers of cream. Sinfully delicious! However, croissants are a big disappointment, be they plain, chocolate or almond. The dough just doesn't taste fresh and crispy. It's all calories and no joy. Over the years, I've tried different items: I've liked the pies and the cakes, but not the baked breakfast items. It's such a pity that they focus on selling clothing with the logo, but don't try to get croissants right.

Slow and inattentive service with a kitchen that can not temp a burger to save a life. Good if you are desperate, otherwise go elsewhere.

Went there on a date, we ordered a pilgrim sandwich, French fries, dirty chai with two shots of espresso, and a hot chocolate. We asked for no mayo on the sandwich. There was multiple hairs on the serving tray, the turkey in the sandwich was leathery and felt like it had been left out in a refrigerator for a couple days. They also put mayo on the sandwich, and did not put any espresso in the chai, the server was not a nicest to us, and in complete honesty the setup of the place is not well thought out. The food was laughable at how bad it was and the chai tasted like water. The only thing that was good was the hot chocolate. It was really disappointing how far this place was gone, I love the new look with the bar, but the food and experience was far from acceptable.

They really upgraded the place. Before the renovation it was very slow, now it's on point.
We always enjoy eating here when we are on the Vineyard. Their vegan options are very limited, but in spite of that, we enjoy the ambience of the place, and the food is good.

What a disappointment to visit the "new" Black Dog Cafe and find that the food was lousy, the service was poor and the price for 3 sandwiches and water was $70.00 Oh including the $3. uncharge for sweet potato fries. The fish was dry and the batter like an old pancake. The fish and chips came without the chips and I got push back about it when I went back to tell them. Last straw was a road coffee for the boat with lots of grounds in the bottom of the cup! We have been regulars for years and years. The great vibe, the great service, wonderful breads and bagels, cookies, and the lively clientele are all gone. This place has been wrecked by going for "urban" whatever. We won't be back. Too bad.

I truly enjoyed my first time experience at the Black Dog Bakery Cafe for lunch! The warmth and inviting atmosphere, coupled with friendly customer service, truly set the stage for an enjoyable visit. The unique and flavorful coffee surpassed my expectations leaving a lasting impression. The thoughtful display of merchandise and the dog-friendly ambiance add a charming touch for canine enthusiasts. The classic train car and outdoor seating provide a lovely setting for patrons to savor their meals. The Black Dog Bakery and Cafe is a gem with their deliciously rich peanut butter cups for gluten-free lovers, and irresistible cupcakes and other delicious homemade Bakery items. It's clear that The Black Dog Cafe has earned a special place in my list of favorite eateries.Kid-friendliness: Fun for kids! We brought my little cousin with us of 2 years old and he found a pumpkin he really liked and the ownership allowed us to keep it. Making the black dog a good place for family too!

The service was pleasant, but the food was quite bad. The iced coffee was fine but nothing special. All in all I would not recommend it.
