This place was atrocious , the workers were nice but the drinks were horrible. Me and my friends ordered matchas that looked so good in their google photos and were expecting to get them as they looked. What we got were milky barely there green matcha that I don’t even want to say even counted as matcha. It tasted like straight milky water and so we then asked them to remake it. When remade it ended up the same color as the first time even though they claimed to have added more matcha to it. We all ended up throwing our drinks away because there were powder remnants in the bottom of our cups. If you’re looking for a good matcha save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else.

Absolutely appalling matcha. False advertising at its finest.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience was so frustrating I had to say something.
I came here specifically for their matcha latte after seeing the photos on their Google photos. Rich, dark green, thick-looking matcha that actually resembles what real matcha should look and taste like. What I got? A barely tinted cup of milk. Practically white. No flavor. No richness. Just… sad milk with a trace of green. It was so bad I thought maybe they forgot to add the matcha entirely.
I went back to the counter and politely asked if they could add more matcha. They did and somehow it got WORSE. It tasted like someone dropped six ice cubes in a cup, poured in a splash of milk, and let the cubes melt into what can only be described as watery disappointment. Zero flavor, zero body, and an aftertaste that made me question if they’ve ever actually tasted good matcha before.
This isn’t just a case of a weak drink, it’s outright false advertising. The beautiful, vibrant matcha on your Google photos? It does not exist in this building.
I genuinely don’t know how you mess up matcha this badly. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who actually likes matcha. The matcha powder taste leftover in the cup was SO disgusting that I ended up throwing away. It was not even edible.
Do better.

Absolutely terrible. I got a matcha and it was horrible—I got it along with raspberry flavoring and tasted like straight up MILK. Literal watered down milk, the color was barely a pastel green even. I went back in and complained, saying it did not taste like matcha. They added more, and it tasted even worse. It tasted like taking a cup of 5 large ice cubes and a bit of milk, leaving the ice to melt, and just having extremely watered down milk. Absolutely disgusting, and terrible. Never coming back here again—ESPECIALLY with how much I had to pay. And to the guy with a face tattoo that made my drinks, wear longer shorts. 👎

We stopped here twice during our stay in Stone Harbor (and honestly may stop again before we head out) and both times it was great. I loved the Nutella coffee - they brew La Colombe which is delicious. The woman at the register was so kind and patient both times we came in. Everything we got was delicious - my personal favorite was the the crème stuffed brioche pastry I got today. My son loved the double chocolate muffin! Will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

Great people, great coffee!!

I stopped by during the weekend to grab a quick lunch and got a few things to try. Their lobby is pretty small, so while it's fine in the off-season, I'm sure it gets very crowded in the summer. I got their Nutella Coffee and got it iced. The coffee is just black coffee with a glob of Nutella put in it. It was tasty, but the coffee they used was a very dark roast. I asked for room to put creamer in, but I guess they forgot. Multiple people were waiting and only one person was making coffee, so I get them forgetting that detail. Their donut was not very donut-like, and closer to a sweetbread with a cream filling. I didn't care for it, I felt like I was eating a bread roll, but the person who came with me loved it. Their croissants are amazing! They get them imported from France, so they taste wonderful! I would totally get their croissants again. The bagel...the bagel itself tasted fine, and the cream cheese was pretty good. You could tell there were fresh chives used in the cream cheese. But...why on Earth did the guy in the kitchen cut it into fourths?! I almost fainted when I unwrapped the bagel. FOURTHS?? Who does this?! It was also very burnt on one side, I guess their toasting machine is off-kilter. I wouldn't bother with their bagels, but the croissants are to die for.

Love this place. If you’re looking for a spot to grab a great coffee and a well made breakfast sandwich, Cafe Noir is it! They also had an amazing pastry selection. Until next time!
Stopped in for the first time yesterday, I've been to Stone Harbor many times. Did not know this place was here. Now that we found it, we will be making many more visits. My son got the iced Nutella coffee, he said it was the best coffee he ever had. I got a flat white, not to all places know how to make a proper flat white, they do. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about there product. A must visit!

The staff was friendly, but the food prices were very high compared to the amount or quality of food we got. Avocado toast was $16.50, but it was as small as a standard slice of bread and the bread was barely toasted.

Me and my friend went to Café noir for lunch and coffee, I got the espresso shaker, and I thought the espresso was very rich. My friend got the grilled chicken sandwich spinach special, it came with a salad and was very good. The service was well and the food beyond!

Cafe Noir in Stone Harbor is an absolute gem! The spinach feta croissants are hands down the most amazing and delicious thing I’ve ever tasted—flaky, savory perfection. Their coffee is divine, rich, and flavorful, making each sip a delight. The selection of Italian pastries is truly one of a kind, offering a taste experience that’s unmatched. To top it all off, the owners are beautiful humans who bring warmth and charm to the entire cafe. Cafe Noir is a must-visit for anyone in the area!

10 out of 10 great bagel, I got a plain bagel with butter and a side of vegetable cream cheese. Vegetable cream cheese was truly fantastic! And the bagel was soft and the butter covered my hands, so that’s a perfect bagel for me, definitely would recommend!
