In a post-covid world the cafe or restaurant that reveals itself as a true 5-star is rare because in many ways the standards were lowered by our wanting things back to the way they once were. We were so happy to dine inside mask-free, to wait in line for fresh pastries and coffee, or unwrap our breakfast burritos that we replaced enthusiasm for quality and it muddied the whole review process all together. Black Owl brings us back to that high bar for greatness that is unique and it keeps us thinking about food long after we drive away: fresh ingredients, delicious recipes, enthusiastic staff who care about you; experiences you remember because you felt loved through food. I don't know when I will be back to Hailey Idaho, but when I do return, my first stop will be the Black Owl for a hot cup of coffee, a pastry and the smile that follows. Thanks for the love Black Owl, the blueberry muffin was magic. Sean read more

Awesome place run by great people! Breakfast burrito was perfect - and make sure you try the habanero hot sauce! The homemade almond torte was delicious, as was the matcha tea latte. What a great introduction to my first time in Sun Valley! read more

Fabulous coffee if you're in the Hailey area. I had the mason jar shaken iced americano and loved their use of brown sugar. My americano had a super creamy consistency that made it stand out from every other americano I've ever had. Staff was friendly and it seems like a cute neighborhood place. read more

Coffee is very good. Service is very good. The biscuits and gravy are outstanding. The burritos are very good. The owner running around making sure everyone tries his favorite hot sauce is old school customer service. We will be back. read more

Their espresso drinks are delicious; I had the dark chocolate cherry mocha latte and it was incredible. They also offer decaf espresso, which I appreciated since I'm several months pregnant. There was no line, the employee who helped me was friendly and very helpful with my questions, and the wait after ordering was super short. The views from the patio area are absolutely gorgeous and the space is neatly kept. The landscaping is very pretty and complements the views so well. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is that there was some inconsistency with face coverings among employees, despite signage requesting customers wear face coverings. A bit confusing. This point will be irrelevant once the COVID-19 crisis subsides! :) But in the meantime may effect the decisions of cautious customers. read more

Black Owl Coffee - Drink, patio view - Cafes Near Me - Hailey, Idaho

Our go-to. Very very good coffee (locally brewed) better than decent tea, good menu, and very friendly.

The made in house maple scone here is TO DIE FOR. We got one freshly made, and it was just the right density and not too dry. We also had the breakfast burrito (add chorizo), two of the egg cups (basically a crust-less quiche), and iced americanos. The food was tasty, filling, and not too salty or greasy, and the drinks were well made (no burnt espresso). The staff were all friendly and helpful. Nice to sit inside or outside. read more

Best coffee in town!! Baristas are so kind and ensure your coffee and food is made to perfection. Ordered cold brew, americano, and paninis. all to die for! read more

Black Owl is in Hailey, Idaho. It has great coffee, great pastries, gluten free pastries, good food and great ambiance. I'm the summer there's a great yard to sit outside with friends to enjoy your coffee and/or food. Inside is small but cozy. Greg the owner, is friendly, but not in your business. Unless you want him to be. Come down and visit, you won't be sorry, you did!! read more

Freakin' good. Breakfast bowl with toasted veggies hit the spot on a chilly Saturday and the dark chocolate cherry mocha was also delicious. Happy to find a spacious outdoor seating area that was dog-friendly. read more

Spectacular! It's earned every five star rating and then some. A simple unassuming looking building from the outside but when I walked in the owner Greg greeted me right away and suggested the pressed panini and a CCR! Unreal! The panini with Marie Sharps habanero pepper sauce is fantastic! It's has just right amount of heat! The CCR (Coconut caramel revival) is absolutely ridiculously tasty tasty tasty with a dollop of coconut fat cream! A toasty roasty bold yet smooove cup 0 coffee. If yer within 20 miles of this place it's a must stop! read more

I'm visiting from Ca and stopped here for breakfast with my friend who moved here. It was so hot that we decided against getting coffee. The owner was so friendly and recommended their iced tea, which was amazing! We ordered the panini breakfast sandwich with eggs, potatoes and bacon, which was perfect with jalapeño sour cream and salsa. Also, we tried a maple, pecan scone that was so good and not too sweet. read more

Wonderful coffee. Had them pour me a simple quad shot with a raw sugar. Their espresso is wonderful and creamy. The avocado toast was awesome and the poppyseed muffin was fantastic !!!! Just simple breakfast when on the go from the hotel. People were super nice. Thanks for a great morning guys. See you all soon ciao Bella !!! read more

This place was busy this morning but staff was keeping up. Has loose leaf tea and shared a breakfast burrito--plenty of food before hitting the road. Lots of nice outdoor seating options. read more

Best coffee! (I drive from Ketchum because Lizzy's is the only coffee place worth anything and they only serve coffee for three hours!) The crustless quiche is so delicious! The tuna panini was incredible. And the homemade almond cake dusted with powdered sugar is one of the best things I've ever tasted. Open up a Black Owl in Ketchum - it's a coffee wasteland up here! read more

BEST coffee and breakfast in Hailey. Couldn't have imagined the best biscuits and gravy of my sweet southern life would pop up in Idaho, but here we are. Hand whipped cream, smooth espresso, lovely staff, chill environment. Always pet friendly read more

First time there. Read the reviews so we thought we'd give it a try, glad we did! We had the tuna melt, turkey panini, Italian panini and the harvest salad. All gave thumbs up! Ate outside and it was very nice! I will definitely be back! read more

While on vacation in Idaho we stopped in for a coffee. They had a panini pressed breakfast burrito that was awesome. They have some great dips and salsas to go with it. I ordered a dark mocha and the owner recommended it with brown sugar. It was the best mocha I've had. The next day we made a special trip back for coffee and I had a blueberry muffin which was very good as well. The staff and owners are very nice and courteous, I highly recommend this place. read more

Awesome spot for coffee, and gluten free pastries! The people who work here are very kind. :)

Unique offerings, quality coffee and GREAT, personable staff. Highly recommend stopping here!

I stop by for breakfast this morning, had the biscuits and gravy with jalapeno chips and an egg, exceptional. The coffee was excellent, got a second Americano. The only thing better than the coffee and the biscuits and gravy were the people working here. I can strongly recommend Black Owl Coffee. read more

Simply the best. Closed Sunday and Monday but worth ducking off the main drag to enjoy this jewel . Fresh, great atmosphere and service.

I'm a huge coffee addict and love to look for local places. The atmosphere was fun and inviting and the baristas were so friendly. The coffee is not too sweet and that's perfect. read more

We stopped through Hailey and wow I cannot recommend this place enough! Everyone was incredibly friendly and the food/coffee was amazing! We will definitely stop by again in the future! read more

Having come from the Seattle area I was floored to get a latte that completely retrained my sense of what "great coffee" is. The friendly, down-to-earth staff were more than willing to answer my questions as to why. Turns out their custom blend is the result of exhaustive R&D. It is absolutely wonderful. If you are hungry, try any of the menu items. The panini pressed egg burrito with jalapeno sour cream is what got my attention, while my partner went with a scone, one of many freshly made pastries and baked goods Both were far better than the price point would suggest. Truly a gourmet experience. The place is the brainchild of experienced gourmet high-end restaurant staff who obviously care about the high quality of the food and coffee, as well as the respectful service and comfortable, homey environment. I can't say enough good things about it. read more

Our favorite coffee shop in the valley. Greg, his wife and team offer great coffee and a wonderful menu of meals and snacks-we are obsessed with the Almond torte. It's got an easy comfortable vibe and everyone makes you feel right at home. Greg is meticulous with his coffee aesthetics and culture and it shows. We haven't been anywhere else in the Hailey Ketchum orbit where the offering is as consistent and exceptional. One of our "always go to" places when we are up. read more
