    Flat white and chocolate chip banana walnut bread
    Carolyn L.

    This is a nice addition to Port Moody, a place to chill with a book and have a decent cup of coffee or tea. The baked goods were good, at least the chocolate chip banana walnut bread I had was yummy. The flat white could be better but still ok. It is a family place as there is a small corner for children too. That means it can be busy and noisy, especially on weekends. Parking is available on the street.

    Black Sugar is a very nice addition to Port Moody and stands out quite a bit on St. John's. The place is very roomy and has a modern feel, perfect for a quiet cup of coffee on a rainy day. The staff is super friendly! They seem to know many of the customers already and reenforces the feel of a neighbourhood cafe. Although they don't have an official drinks menu ready, they are very capable of making requested drinks or suggesting good options. There's a decent selection of tea or any typical espresso drinks. I ordered a caramel macchiato which tasted great. There's also a good selection of baked goods and pastries that are house made. There are some breakfast and lunch items as well. The place is very family friendly and fits the Port Moody vibe. There is even a kids area in the corner with children's books and some toys as well. Overall a place I would visit again :)

    Mixed berry tea

    Stopped by here as we were in the neighborhood for some ice cream and wanted something cold to drink afterwards. Our cashier was so friendly and recommended us to get the mixed berry ice tea and it was all sort of summer refreshness. We weren't sure whether we wanted to add syrup or honey and told us we can try the original and see how we liked it and would add it for us after if needed. 10/10 would come here again.

    What a great place for the kids to enjoy themselves while mommy enjoys her coffee

    I stopped by while on a walk with my husband and baby. This place is a great alternative to the Starbucks in the area and a very welcome addition to Port Moody, in my opinion. The cafe is clean and bright, and the decor is trendy. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Most importantly, the coffee tasted GREAT and the salami sandwich was absolutely delicious. I'm not sure if they make it in house or not, but it tasted fresh and flavorful, and was great warmed up. Although we didn't stay and sit, we had a great experience and will most definitely be back. Update: We visited again, but decided to sit in and enjoy our coffee and desserts this time around. Once again, we had a very pleasant experience. The coffee was great and the lemon bars were absolutely delish. My 14 month old was delighted to get out of her stroller and stretch her legs in the kids area located at the back of the cafe. There's lots of great books to look at, and fun, safe toys for the little tykes to play with. I think we've found our new coffee joint

    I wish I hadn't skipped on trying this. Hope they get it again

    I've been waiting for Black Sugar all year since I saw the papered up windows announcing a cafe. I'm so glad we finally gave a cute cafe like this on St. John St. Service is friendly if a bit green, coffee so far has been good and they use good beans. Love the space and aesthetic and I've been able to sit and get work done. I look forward to being here more often and also trying some of their baked goods and food. Welcome to the neighborhood!!

    This place is a cozy spot to get some work done! They have lots of vegan and sugar free options which we were delighted with! Friendly staff. Not to noisy. Will definitely be back :) love this gem in the neighbourhood!

    Beautiful coffee shop to study/work or enjoy a coffee with family. Try their generous portion of banana bread. The kids corner is fantastic for parents who want a coffee in peace. May be my new to go coffee place. Yay to new local businesses in Port Moody!

    I just adore the atmosphere & customer service here. It's a truly community coffee shop & people…read moreworking here go the extra mile (thanks again Gary - you saved me with a much needed Ginger Rogers least week!). Truly, you know the food, coffee & tea is good when there's times that the line up nearly goes to the door & no seats are available inside or out. Certain times of the year they have special drinks featured but the staff is so wonderful that if there's something you liked from a past season, if they still have the ingredients, they'll make it. Lately, Ginger Rogers is my treat to boost my day. Honestly, I've tried so many food options & haven't had a meh reaction to any. There's wraps & paninis plus desserts & cookies & take home items ranging from pancake & cookie mixes, jams & syrups to frozen meals. I think it's decently priced for being in this part of the world & like I mentioned, it's always a decent meal or snack. For accessibility, all the tables are moveable. So you could adjust away from the benches & chairs to allow a walker or wheel chair. But as this cafe is smaller, for those with baby strollers, I would recommend leaving them outdoors & bringing in the essentials with your baby/kids. The door isn't automatic but the handles & space around would allow for most to access the doors (providing that the local puppers aren't tied right next to the door & baby strollers are parked far enough back). Parking has one handicap but I would actually recommend parking closer to the vet clinic side, as that would be easier for drop off & pick up for those with mobility aids. There's also a generous patio area for people to sit with umbrellas. So it is very common to see many people sitting with their dogs outside enjoying the weather & a coffee. Bathrooms (there's 2) are accessed by keys provided by staff. It's been a long time since I needed to use them but they were in decent condition considering the range of people that could use them in the day. Might be a bit tricky to maneuver a wheelchair that way but walker & cane users could navigate past the extra door, random pop-up displays & extra table in the business lobby side. This cafe also allows laptop usage throughout the week but laptop free on weekends. After what I seen today (& it has increased in amount of people from other days I've seen), I'm very glad that's the case. Some people legit bring their whole office, including their screen raisers, extra tech options to headphones and such... I personally think if you need to take up a 4 seat space for your "online needs" & you give off the energy that it's serious work, perhaps the library down the road (which allows room bookings so you could do webinars or group work) or look to rent a temp office space might be better for work. But that's just my two cents as a disabled person who notices this happening more often in a lot more cafes lately. I hope these extra tech office travellers at least buy more than a coffee as all the food is really great here & this cafe deserves to be well supported by all. Definitely give it a try if you're in the PoMo area. Especially if you're already planning on walking into the inlet area to Rocket Point park & pier.

When I asked if it was actually a cold brew, I was met with attitude and defensiveness. I was a barista for years, so from my perspective, that level of service was unacceptable. If it were me behind the bar, I would have said something like, "You know what, that doesn't look right. Can I add a shot of espresso or get you something else instead?" A little honesty and willingness to make it right go a long way. Fail.

They had a…read morespecial combo for $14: bacon egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, truffle parmesan hashbrown bites and your choice of donut. I loved their breakfast sandwich with fluffy eggs. The hashbrown bites were nice and crispy. Their doughnuts all looked enticing, but I picked the wrong one. I chose creme brulee, which had a hard icing on top. It was crunchy, which did not go well with the pillowy soft doughnut. I peeled the entire top off, but enjoyed the vanilla filling. Although I didn't like this doughnut, I could tell it was freshly baked and I would return to try their other flavours. There was only 1 woman working in the cafe and she was so friendly. The interior is aesthetically pleasing and seating is comfortable. I went early on a weekday morning so I was able to find street parking, however finding parking could be challenging, especially on the weekend.

Maybe we were lucky, but we went in with a large party and was able to snag some seats! Small savory menu, but man did it hit! Buy the combo that comes with a drink and a donut with your breakfast sandwich. It's so delicious, you'll definitely finish the sandwich, the smashed potatoes, your drinks and the donuts. We finished everything, and then got 12 more donuts to go. The donuts are fluffy! And flavorful! The selection was ample and everything really did taste fresh and tasty. They also were taste the next two days as well. Oh, I remembered the one thing I didn't enjoy. Finding parking. May the odds be ever in your favor.
