Such a hidden gem in the Sharon Springs area. It’s on what felt like a side street but more like home. The space is cozy and warm even on a cold, rainy day. I was headed to VT and stopped for a quick bite to eat. The hot cup of tea did wonders for my soul as did the conversation with Tony. Such a wonderful host. Food is fresh and tasty. Cookies are wonderfullll! Will absolutely stop in again if I’m out that way. Cheers!

This little place with old wood floors that creak into a calming harmony as you shuffle to your table is out of this world. It's not your typical upstate New York dining experience. The food is great. The service is personable. The menu has flair. The space is small and charming.
We parked in the back and as we walked up the steps the smell of goodness hit us. We were all excited to see what they had to offer and no one left hungry or disappointed. It is more expensive for the area than other options but it was worth it for local fresh wholesome ingredients mixed up in an elevated brunch experience. I will be dreaming of the quiches and assorted pastries until I make it back to this little slice of transformative dining in the area.

I was looking for an oat mylk chai latte that wasn’t corporate (like Dunkin which I find unpalatable). This place is charming! I had the corned beef reuben which was so fresh and homestyle that it felt like I was at my grandfather’s in homemade QUALITY. I love the options they offer. They seemed to get backed up with just 5 individuals separately dining, so don’t come for food if you’re impatient..but it’s definitely worth the wait.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Black Cat Café, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The food was incredibly fresh and full of flavor—you can tell they put real care into every dish. From the first bite to the last, everything was delicious.
The real standout, though, was the outstanding service. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive without being overbearing. You don’t always find that kind of hospitality, and it made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Whether you’re passing through town or staying a while, don’t miss this spot. A perfect mix of great food and great people—I’ll definitely be back!

Stopped here with a friend for a bite, and will have to come back next time in the area. We ended up talking with the owner for nearly an hour on the business itself, food, gardening, our cats, and everything in between. The space, hospitality and food were all amazing. Highly recommend!

I'm not a big fan of donuts but the one I got here was so good I'll have to come back. My partner got a chocolate croissant and loved it too. The coffee was good, but the desserts are the real star of the show. Also the owner and cashier both were very polite and helpful! Thank you so much
This is a wonderful cafe, great food and a great owner.

My friend and I stopped in for lunch after visiting Slate Hill lavender farm. Very friendly staff and comfortable space. We shared the delicious mini meza with wonderful hummus and gigandes beans and we each had carrot soup. My friend had the gorgo salad (balsamic figs were nice) and I had Wild Julia grilled cheese without bacon. The cheese wasn't really melted but the pepita seeds and hot sauce made it unique and tasty. We also got some dessert to go. Really lovely lunch. I look forward to returning.

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.

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.
