Black Cat has turned into one of my most frequent go-tos because they are reasonably priced and super consistent. My usual order is a shaken espresso and it's delicious every time. I have also tried their London fog and it was perfect on a cloudy winter morning. The service is also consistently great and often the barista already knows what I'm going to order lol. The shop is decorated with local art which is fun and adds an eclectic vibe. read more

I loved this coffee shop I found in AZ. The staff were so friendly. Matcha was delicious! The shop was so cozy and inviting. If we didn't have plans I would have stayed for a while and enjoyed my drink. See my pics read more

This place is a cute hole in the wall coffee shop in the Arcadia area. They have good specialty drinks and are fair with their prices.

Tanya always listens to what we like or need and fills our orders perfectly. Excited to try the Kona Decaf we recently purchased. Great job Tanya & Crew read more

Met with my friend here for a quick sip. Already had 2 cups of coffee at home so i got a tea here. Thankfully they had heavy cream so that was nice! The tea was seriously muted by the cream though and i couldnt taste the flavor so the girl brewed me a second cup! Great service. Tasty tea. Will be back if i need a cupa! read more

What a fun vibe. Comfy table seating and couches. If I was in school, this would be where I'd come to crash and study!!! Great looking pastries, including some insane donuts, but I stayed with my old school hot americano. Well made. Three outdoor tables and plenty of parking as it's in strip with a Safeway. Coffee and teas offered Service was friendly and conversational. My fav kinda place read more

Eclectic, welcoming and comfortable vibe at this hidden GEM in Phoenix! I am from Chicago but visit this cafe immediately when I arrive in Phoenix. LOVE their lattes, but there is SO much more. This little diamond hides in a non-descrip mall with a Safeway. Don't miss it if you are in the Arcadia area near Old Town Scottsdale--you won't be disappointed! read more

Walked in and they didn't even acknowledge me, waited about 5 minutes at the register right in front of him and he acted like I wasn't even there. read more

Super cool place. It's located in a strip mall setup in the same plaza as Safeway. Great coffee and tea options with lots of different flavors and syrups, many available as sugar free. The staff are very friendly. It's cozy inside, with local art featured on the walls for sale too. Would definitely recommend and hope to try a pastry next time. read more

I have sad news to share. My once favorite coffee spot in Phoenix is no longer anymore. I was visiting Phoenix and wondered if Black Cat was still around so I went to Yelp and I really should've listened to the last reviews, but I really wanted to just remember the good ol' days. My hubby picked up my regular Almond Milk Chai iced tea latte and he got his iced vanilla latte and at first sip, I was so disappointed. It was not good. I tried to salvage it by adding more ice because it seemed to have too much chai, but that didn't really work. I'm so bummed. Ah well, I'm sorry Black Cat, but come back to the Black Cat that you used to be a few years ago. Please. read more

I was in town early for a business meeting and searched for a place with WiFi, food and drink to work from for a couple of hours. Black Cat Coffee for the win! I ordered a breakfast sandwich and iced apricot tea. The staff was friendly and helpful, and there were other patrons reading the paper or books or on laptops also enjoying their time. The temperature was nice and cool. This was a Thursday morning and they were not that busy. Definitely recommend and I will be back the next time I have a meeting in town and arrive early! read more

Black cat coffee house is my all time favorite local coffee shop. I've been going for years and Tanya (the owner) and her team do an amazing job at creating a good environment to study/hang out at. They have a wide assortment of coffees, a huge assortment of teas and other drinks, and numerous other pastries and food bites. I highly recommend the black cat bomb, which is my all time favorite, it's definitely a meal replacement imo but so worth it! read more

Cute place. Interesting decor. Old cartoons/ drawings on the wall. Pretty low lights going on in here. The young women at the counter was pleasant! I tried the Black Cat Bomber! Delicious. Coffee mixed with Peanut butter, Banana and Protein powder. Yummy. We popped in after breakfast for a pick me up. The drink is like a small meal considering the protein! Good job! I would for sure come back to try more! read more

Good basic espresso drinks - though there are a number of specialty items available. Flavor of the beans was quite good. It is a little dark and stuffy, but a very comfortable spot - certainly easy and quiet at the time we were there. Everyone is super nice. read more

Great spot for coffee in Arcadia! Tucked away in a strip mall but don't let it deter you. TONS is sugar free flavor, good espresso, and a nice spot to get some work done. Staff is friendly and the shop is always clean and comfy. Prices are also better than Starbucks et al. Black Cat has been here well over ten years now because they are doing it well. Give them a try! read more

Absolutely love it! Mike and I love checking out local options for coffee or tea that aren't a chain. This place delivers with great service and a varied menu of coffee, tea, blended drinks, some pastries and comfortable seating! The music is not overwhelming and the atmosphere is inviting. Loved my black cat decaf beverage read more

Well..the staff was nice, but on this day the coffee for the hot mocha tasted burnt and continued to taste burnt before I tossed it half-way through. They also had no choice of milk and she forgot my muffin until I reminded her. The blueberry muffin was below par, lacking blueberries in most of the muffin. Bad luck for this black cat today. read more

Great coffee, and the banana bread is amazing. The only thing keeping me from a five star review has been the customer service. So far out of the two times I've been here the staff seem annoyed to be taking orders and helping customers. I will continue to come here as I have really enjoyed the coffee options but the customer service could use a refresh. read more

Went here with coworkers to relax today. First time here. Barista friendly and helpful. I ordered the Thai iced tea and it was great. Coworkers had iced americano and Red Bull raspberry tea. Decent price and everything was good. So while there noticed tons of people coming in and out. It's nice to support local small businesses. read more

BC is in the nice, upscale Arcadia neighborhood in a small, nondescript mall. There's some comfy seats but it is a very small, cramped coffee shop. The counter person was not friendly, did not smile or greet me in a courteous manner. I also declined paying over $3 for a small cup of drip coffee. I've been to the best coffeehouses in Europe, Australia, Canada and major US cities; so when the highest prices are charged I expect top service and atmosphere. BC does not measure up. Not recommended. read more

Walking into the coffee shop I noticed that it was not cleanest place but it wasn't bad enough for me to walk out. I asked the on duty barista what was the most popular latte and I told everything then I asked which is one she could make the best and the answer again was everything. My coffee was only decent and took way too long to make. read more

Awwww!! Don't you just love home town coffee shops?! We had intended to eat breakfast at the Over Easy but it was closed for remodeling.

Really cute place and I liked the artwork! I've been to a ton of coffee shops in the valley and have at least heard of the majority of them but had never heard of this place until recently. I went with my mom, she got a tea and I got a lavender honey latte which is typically one of my favorite types of lattes. Our drinks were both scalding hot like an hour later we were still waiting for them to cool down haha. My major complaint about this place was that my latte tasted burnt. Like I still have the aftertaste of it in my mouth and it's been like 6 hours since I got the drink. Just wasn't that enjoyable. Couldn't taste the lavender either. Cute place but the latte was not great. read more

Really cute place! Cozy and comfortable to sit at. Love their blended chocolate strawberry and great muffins too. Awesome to see they display and sell art for local artists as well here. read more

I actually stumbled across this place by complete accident and am so glad I did. I was trying to go to Lola down the road, but they were closed. I just picked the next closest cafe which happened to be Black Cat. The coffee was dark and has exactly the roast profile I was looking for. My americano was delicious, roasty, and quite good. The inside of the cafe was great too. It's dark and cozy and has a charm about it that is quite nice. I sat with a few friends for a few hours and enjoyed chatting, catching up, and sipping my coffee. Cheers! read more

I got a honey lavender iced drink. The sizes here are very big! My medium would be considered a large at many places. I wanted oat milk, but they said that they don't have it yet, and plan on getting it soon. I opted for rice milk, which I've never heard of before! The coffee was good, but not life changing. And the internet wasn't the fastest, but I can't complain because it was good enough to get my work done. We had to sit outside since my friend had an outside drink and they said he came come in with it. I'd consider coming here again when I need to do some work! read more

I ordered a cappuccino with whole milk, I find this gives you a real taste of the coffee. The beans were decent, not too acidic, but they did taste a touch burned. The milk was a mess though, when it sounds like a Jacuzzi bubbling it's never a good sign. The decor was comfortable but quite dark, I guess it goes with the name....all in all I'd give it 3.5. read more

This is my favorite coffee spot in Phoenix. Great coffee, excellent service, and a cute spot. I love coming here! The theme is also so cute!

The best coffee and customer service in the world. Their cold brew is the best in the valley and you can get a 32 ouncer for less than $5. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a local coffee shop that'll kick all corporate chains butts. read more

After my three-year-old son and I were harassed and threatened by the owner I thought I should share the email conversation as to warn customers of this business. Here is my email to the business the day after the incident: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an incident that occurred at the Black Cat Coffee Shop on Sunday, November 12, at approximately 3:10 PM. I have been a regular customer at your establishment, having enjoyed the Black Cat Bomb numerous times, and I have never encountered any issues until this recent visit. On that particular day, I entered the coffee shop with my three-year-old son, as I have done many times before. We approached the counter to place our usual order. While standing there, my son innocently reached to look at the tip jar, and to my surprise, the employee on duty snatched the jar away in what I can only describe as a very violent manner. I calmly pointed out that my child was just curious, not understanding the situation, and suggested that such a reaction was an overreach for a small child who didn't know any better. To my dismay, the employee responded with a concerning comment, saying, "Do you want to see me freak out?" This statement, which I interpreted as a threat, deeply alarmed me, especially considering my three-year-old son's presence. I want to emphasize that I felt threatened by her words, and this is not the kind of experience I expect or tolerate as a customer. Despite my efforts to de-escalate the situation, I found the employee's behavior unsettling. I expressed my disappointment in the quality of customer service provided, and in response, she forcefully ripped my card from the point-of-sale system, instructing me to leave the premises. While I understand a business's right to refuse service, I believe it is important to address and rectify situations where a threat is made against a customer, particularly when accompanied by aggressive actions. I am sharing this incident with you because I believe it is crucial to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all patrons. I appreciate your attention to this matter and kindly request that you look into the incident to ensure that such interactions do not occur in the future. It is my hope that this can be addressed promptly and that Black Cat Coffee Shop continues to be a place where customers can enjoy your offerings in a friendly and respectful atmosphere. Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to a resolution to this matter. And here is the owner's response: I can add a lot of adjectives to really elaborate this email like you have but I don't feel that's necessary. It seems that we have formed opinions about each other so this may be one of those agree to disagree situations. In your email, you were implying I thought your child initiated the problem in the situation. The problem was when your child reached for the jar, you as the parent did nothing. I did act fast in that moment because it doesn't take long for accidents to occur. What would have happened if he pulled that jar off the counter? You took this opportunity to insult me. When I said "do you want me to freak out" it was a sassy response instead of insulting you back. Did I overreact? Yes, I can see that I did. However my staff and I do not come to work for us to be insulted or stolen from. Thank you for the support you've given us so far but perhaps a different coffee shop is better fit for you. Pure green and D'Lite both sell a smoothie similar to your order. Please be observant of the overreacting owner who cares not for kids or customers. read more

Black Cat Coffee House is a gem! Consistently excellent and innovative menu items and a staff that is the perfect combo of fun and professional. There are a handful of regulars which makes it even more fun. It's like the coffee version of Cheers. My favorite is a turmeric latte w chai and two shots of espresso. Top it off with a homemade raspberry muffin. read more

Came here yesterday for the first time and it was a good experience. I ordered the iced latte with sugar free almond syrup and oat milk. It was delicious! I also had the zucchini loaf, I loved it!
