We stopped here in the middle of a road trip because it had outdoor seating and we had our dog with us. The staff immediately brought a bowl of water out for her and treated her kindly. The food was outstanding. I had a bean soup that was delicious and an outstanding salad with gorgonzola and figs. The figs had been soaked in balsamic vinegar, so were juicy and flavorful. I didn't bother with dressing because of that. The owner came out and chatted with us for a while, making it feel even more welcoming. I expect we'll stop there again.

Such an amazing cafe! It's worth the drive for this place alone! I can't wait to return.

An odd place. Food was quirky, although one us enjoyed the Thanksgiving sandwich. The grilled cheese had saugy bacon, some type of seeds and a lot of hot sauce on it. Wait staff was inexperienced and unorganized.

The Black Cat Cafe shares the vintage charm of Beekman 1802 and the rest of Sharon Springs. With a relaxing atmosphere featuring vintage tables and chairs, plentiful bistro window seating, and excellent service. As well as offers a surprisingly large and creative breakfast and lunch menu. All gourmet prepared by the owner and chef, who obviously enjoys interacting with his guests, which is extremely rare now days. We had the Wild Julia sandwich along with a bowl of homemade Tuscan bean soup and Orange Blossom Lemonades. All superbly prepared from obviously fresh ingredients. As well as enhanced by their selection of Black Cat balsamic drizzles. Our only regret is having visited Sharon Springs so many times in the past without visiting the Black Cat, assuming it might offer a limited menu and seating, which definitely wasn't the case and won't happen again. If perhaps you've done and wondered the same, definitely give them a try!

A friend came down from Sacandaga Lake, wanted to take a nice ride on a fall day and eat lunch somewhere. We visited the Black Cat Cafe! The owner is friendly, generous, and kind. Wonderful atmosphere. My friend ordered the reuben (which was a mouthful!). I wanted everything on the menu but settled for two mini quiche with side salad. So simple, but delicious. The lettuce was crunchy, the tomatoes red and sweet. I tried all three dressings: garlic, fig, (can't remember the third) balsamic. We found another couple to visit with. Even the other diners were friendly. We will definitely be back to try the salmon & cream cheese sandwich, the curried chicken salad on raisin bread, and the Thanksgiving sandwich. The owner said he had some tomato basil soup and would make us grilled cheese, which were not on the menu. Totally accommodating! We'll be back!

We are purchasing a home in town and we stopped in for lunch. It was the greatest sandwich I have had in a long time.
Outstanding small restaurant. We loved it. The food and service was unbelievable and the atmosphere of the Cafe is very cozy and quiet. We will most certainly be back again and again.
A disappointment, limited menu. Poor service, got nothing with a sandwhic h that arrived 10 minutes after everyone else got their lunch. It was terrible. I was expecting a cold turkey sandwich it was hot and greasy. Owner was a talker.ugg we couldn't wait for him to leave us alone.

Great little place, but please know that reservations are required for parties of 4 or more. So, if you have even a small family, don't just stop. Call ahead. It is not on the website, only on the scanned menu.
