We went on a rainy Saturday to enjoy some coffee and breaky. We were greeted with some good vibes by the DJ and a warm smile by the person taking our order. The service was great and the food did not disappoint. Would recommend if anyone is in the area looking for some good morning vibes read more

Recently moved from the Bronx to Newburgh, and found this local gem hiding in my neighborhood. Glenn and the rest of the staff are courteous and friendly, and immediately make you feel at home. My daughter enjoys lounging while we wait. I've sampled many menu items, but the Blacc Vanilla breakfast sandwich remains my favorite. If you find yourself in the area, put this place on your to-do list and enjoy the ambiance and people. read more

Quiet, we had a great time celebrating a birthdayna Friday Morning. Their specialty drinks were full of flavor and the food was just as good, everyone in the group was raving about their drinks. I tried the BV latte and the Chai , both were great. The avocado toast was amazing a must try. The b'day girl received a free drink, that was super nice of the staff.I'm waiting for the next visit to try something else. read more

I wish this place had longer hours! Gem of a cafe in Newburgh.. the food is absolutely delicious, with vegetarian options that don't feel like an afterthought, breakfast here is scrumptious! Sitting at one of their rustic picnic tables with my dog, stuffing my face with a portobello BLT -- they even roasted up some chicken breast for Boba, who enthusiastically rates this place 5 PAWS! read more

Nicely decorated--- trendy couch small lounge area with surrounding tables. And modern art by black artists. Go here! read more

Friendly service, however the reviews led me to believe this place would be a good breakfast choice during our stay upstate. The food and coffee left something to be desired, and atmosphere was in disrepair. read more

An awesome spot for food and coffee--great vibe and super friendly service. We found this spot in Newburgh as we were traveling down I-87. Really glad we found it. The place has a great aesthetic vibe--awesome paintings from a local artist. The menu is great, too--I honestly wanted to try everything. We got the shrimp and grits (really good), the chicken and waffles (really good), and the quesadilla (also...really good). We also got the BV latte and chai lattes--great as well. Everyone who was working there was really helpful and friendly, got to know us and talked to us, and made us feel like we were at home. They're doing something great there in Newburgh. Can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

A cup of coffee, a breakfast sandwich, a juice...sometimes, these things are more than what they are. Sometimes, the money you spend is more than the value printed on green pieces of paper and etched into metal. When you spend your money on your coffee or breakfast sandwich or juice at places like Blacc Vanilla Cafe, you are making a statement and contributing to something greater than just commerce, you're helping build and maintain COMMUNITY. Newburgh is a beautiful community and each passing year seems to bring more and more vibrancy and diversity. Blacc Vanilla is so much more than just a coffee or breakfast spot, it's a place where you can contribute towards local minority owned business and get so much more than your money's worth. I'm done with other coffee shops in the area because every time I spend my money at Blacc Vanilla I'm choosing to support the best aspects of community and culture that don't judge or deny anyone who comes in to this establishment by setting things at a price points that exclude so many to begin with. Prices are accessible so anyone can have a cup of coffee and sit in a beautiful space with nicely curated and a warm atmosphere, and the coffee, food, and other items for sale are neither skimpy nor lacking in flavor or quality so this is as good as it can possibly get. I'm grateful to Glenn and his crew for providing a spot where any and everyone can come and share a moment with the beautiful Newburgh community. A+ read more

Great breakfast menu. Loved the service. The atmosphere was great too. Great staff! The prices were very good too.

Wonderful greeting when you enter . Great decor . And then the food! We had shrimp and grits , which was luscious and an ample serving ..next was fried chicken and waffle .. Both were outstanding as was the BA latte and a mixed lemonade and pomegranate cold drink .. Really really liked the place and will make the drive to eat there again read more

Awesome cafe with a really cool vibe! Was passing though and stopped for a cappuccino and was tempted by an amazing donut selection. We had a Boston cream that was truly delicious. The cappuccino was huge and served in a glass mug - it was kind of cool being able to see all the layers. Their service was so friendly and welcoming! Loved the funky decor with lots of artwork - music was the theme and they have a tiny stage in front for open mic nights and concerts. They even have a chess board!! They have a really varied menu - will come back to try and try a full breakfast next time. read more

Ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches and coffees to go. Food was good it the service from the staff was even better! It is rare to leave smiling after getting a takeout order. If I am in the area I will go again read more

Cute cafe. Nice friendly people. Good sized portions. Hash browns could have been crispier but were still tasty. The latte was a good blend of coffee and milk--and they had almond milk which is a plus. Def would return if I'm in the area again. read more

I love a black owned establishment, so I'll start there lol. The vibe was very nice, the decor was cute and the staff were attentive and friendly. I tried the shrimp and grits and I think my only complaint was there were too much grits for the amount of shrimp and sauce, so the ratio was off for me. I'll definitely go back and try other things on their menu. read more

As I'm getting familiar with my neighborhood I'm constantly on Yelp finding new trendy chill spots for my husband and I to lounge in. I came arcoss this place, and instantly it reminds of grand street in Brooklyn, it's a few minutes aways from domino park or even L.E.S downtown Manhattan. I absolutely love the humbled surroundings and friendly faces so as soon as I walk in it has and antiqueish old school 90's vibe from the furniture/decor to a hip hop feel with classic rappers hung on the wall such as biggie and chance the rapper. Today I just came in for a latte and a muffin. I then was greeted immediately with a very friendly attitude, and then they quickly took our order. We informed them that we were new to the neighborhood and they warmly welcomed us. As we sat down everyone's was super friendly. I was taken back coming from the bronx were people are so rude but I have to say, I love kind people and friendliness is a must for me ( to no surprise) I'm excited about this town on how they show such attitude. As a lady was leaving she told us to enjoy our coffee and spoke very well about the owner of blac vanilla. She said how she (the owner) is very involved with the community and one day came by her work place and offered the entire place coffee. (If I remember the story correctly) By hearing this I knew this was a place I would want to spend my money. 5minutes later our lattes came, and I was smiling because I love cuteness and everything cute and the coffee had a writing on it, I think in chocolate syrup that said "peace" and "love" (I believe the other one said). Also our blueberry muffin was toasted to perfection and in it was smeared some black bean butter if I'm correct and it was deeeeeelicious!!!! Omg I loved it Im excited to try their full breakfast menu and everything else! I'll see you soon thankfully I'm a few minutes away read more

Buffalo chicken wrap was great. Actually amazing. Banging til the cows come home. They said it came with home fries... I did not get "home fries". I got regular ass diced potatoes. They were decent though so I can't complain too much. Was looking forward to actual home fries completing the amazing meal. Wait time for the food wasn't too long either. Would come back again read more

Great coffee and pastries, wonderful staff, nice place to meet up with friends and hang out.

From the moment I walked in, I felt a sense of community. The staff was familiar with many of the customers and that says something about a business. I came in to get some pages done on a script I am pitching. But my visit turned into an amazing conversation with two regulars and his teenage son. We talked as if we were childhood friends the owner also joined in on our conversation. As an entrepreneur of color I intentionally seek out black-owned business to support. Being an entrepreneur since my teens I know what it means to have the support of your own community. The decor is a cozy chic full of charm and coolness. The prices are affordable and won't break your pockets if you are brunching with a group. I had the waffles. Another thing.that inspired me about my visit here. Was a mixed crowd of races genders and ages. The space is suitable for all and the vibe there is everyone is welcomed. If you are in the area I recommend this place for your lunch brunch breakfast and place to come network work on your script or just enjoy a great meal. read more
