Blackwatch Cafe is an excellent coffee experience in a whimsical atmosphere located in Scranton at Nay Aug Park. Rarely in my travels do I encounter such a cute coffee spot that deserves a special shout out, but Blackwatch Cafe is worth a caffeine fix detour when traveling through the Scranton area. The unique vibe hits you as soon as you walk in, as there's decor worth a look in almost every direction. It's a tasteful collection of fixtures, pictures, and figures of all kinds. There is parking nearby the cafe, and the place offers a walk up window should you wish to sit on the patio outside or grab a drink to take for a stroll in the park. I ordered an iced mocha latte (half sweet), and it was prepared to perfection with a smooth taste and just the right amount of sweetness, and no hints of bitterness. It was probably the best iced mocha drink I've had in over a year. Service from the several ladies working there was really friendly. All in all, Blackwatch Cafe was a top notch cafe experience for me, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend others give them a visit when visiting Scranton. It's definitely the kind of coffee shop the world could use more of, offering a quality product, as well as a unique cafe experience. The park offers a wonderful place to stroll as well.

Excellent Coffee with a wide variety of natural chocolates. Very quiet, soft romantic ambiance, one of a kind hidden spot, next to the park.

Cute little coffee shoppe- that had a large really good seasonal menu. It's super small like two tables.

Beautiful location, surrounded by Nay Aug Park. Small space with big character. I loved looking at all the photos: some local history and some cinema-related. I got a golden milk chai, which I'd never heard of before. Nice to sit outside and enjoy the park lawn.

What a cute little spot near a park/walking path. Unique atmosphere and decor inside. Nice walk up ordering outside as well. Appreciate they had decaf options! Lots of coffee specials. Latte was a little milky but still good and flavorful! Pricey coffees. Nice and patient staff. Would recommend!!

iced chai latte 20oz

First time visiting the cafe, I got an Iced Chai Latte and it's pretty good! The atmosphere is amazing and i just sat in the beautiful weather and enjoyed the sun.

Front door! The knocker does not work but very cool

Very eclectic place, old Hollywood and new action figures. The sandwiches and pastries were good. Service was at the counter. French hot chocolate was nice and hot.

Looking for a place to meet a friend for coffee, always looking for something different with good coffee. Jackpot! My third visit in 9 days. So cool, it's on the corner of beautiful Nay Aug park. Across from the Geisinger hospital and Everhart Museum. Maybe next time ill wear walking shoes and go for a walk....

Wow! The coffee is amazing?!! as well as the interior of the cafe!! So cute and unique.

The location of the area is cute! near a park and I believe a garden. when I first walked into the cafe, there was a huge red door with a lion holding a ring which was very cool. The interior of the cafe is very detailed and unique. Haven't seen any cafe like this- I felt like I was at a history/ Cartoon comic store haha. Very cute!! The Iced coffee I have gotten which was an iced mocha was pretty good! as well as a Crossant with eggs, bacon and cheese was to die for. The service here was great! very friendly and calm. would 100% come here again.

This place has good coffee and cafe food but just too expensive. The wait time is long for your order, too.

I'm a sucker for miniature cupcakes from a cuteness perspective but do hold them to a high standard…read morefor taste -- they have to live up to the fantasy to get a 5-star like this. Because they usually disappoint in the flavor department, I try to manage expectations. A friend served these at dinner last night and I smiled politely before my first bite but man-oh-man do they live up to the tiny perfection of their appearance. Light, airy cake, both chocolate and vanilla-based -- already pretty unusual. But some with added surprise touches of chips or sprinkles in exactly right proportions. And the frosting, just...WOW. Holy Toledo. Fluffy clouds of delicate buttercream, not a hint of greasiness or grinding sugar!!! With actual flavor of fruit in the strawberry and lemon and vanilla in the white toppings. My dream frosting in precisely the right amount relative to itty-bitty cake size. Remarkably, as tiny ones tend to quickly stakes, they are tasting just as amazing the next day, as I type this. Plus, the ones I passed over last night, thinking "meh, blue frosting, that'll be unbearably sweet" or had other reservations about? Uniformly delicious!!! Do I sound ridiculously fulsome about mini cupcakes? Yes, yes I do. But only because these are probably the best I've had in a decade (of many, many cupcake trials), in ANY size. The fact that they are beautiful, minute replicas of gourmet grown-up cupcakes is like getting a winning scratch-off in your birthday card from grandma. Pure bliss.

Wish they had more GF options since the cupcakes I picked up were delicious. I got two vanilla…read morecupcakes with vanilla/sprinkles and chocolate frosting. The chocolate frosting was thicker than the vanilla and the vanilla was definitely fluffier and lighter. Both were good but different. Other options were mini cupcakes but some cookies and other things in GF would have been great.

Although it is officially the year 2019 (Happy New Year once again to everyone), my heart is still…read morew/the 2018 holiday season -lol. What can I say other than I absolutely love that specific time of the year! I sometimes reminisce before moving forward and posting a few additional holiday-oriented reviews is on my to-do list before moving full steam ahead into 2019. It is imperative that Sweetly Spolied Treats is highlighted..This company definitely satisfied me + my family's sweet tooth with fantastic tasting cupakes during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday. It all started in October 2018 as Sweetly Spoiled Treats Owner/Baker Asia Grant-Williams had a section displaying some of her desserts at the "Damn Gina"! Day Party/Pop-Up Event at Taj Lounge in Manhattan. I purchased a Strawberry Cupcake and a "90's themed" Sugar Cookie. From the moment I took a bite of that Strawberry Cupcake my life has never been the same....let's just say that I became hooked.for lack of a better word-lol. Once sending an email raving about the cupake it was not much later that I ordered a dozen Strawberry Cupcakes ($36 - $3 per cupcake) as part of our Thanksgiving dessert. Asia puts "love" into her desserts and these cupcakes had strawberry fruit inside and on top of the cupcakes. My family enjoyed them so much that one minute they were there and the next day they were all gone-lol. My brother requested more cupcakes which led me to placing a Christmas order for two dozen cupcakes ($ 72). One dozen Strawberry Cupcakes and One dozen Assorted Cupcakes that included Caramel, Red Velvet, Vanilla and Chocolate Cupcakes... Asia decorated/adorned then with supercute holiday themed shaped toothpicks and packaged them in neat clear cupcake boxes. My favorite are the Strawberry and Caramel. Asia creates rich, moist, fluffy cupcakes that have delectable frosting and are scrumptious! The ordering process was easy as I simply emailed Owner Asia Williams and she then sent online invoices so that I could make payment via credit card. She also delivered the cupcakes to my home which was much appreciated. Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I have already started thinking about ordering some cupcakes for my loved ones.... Please check out Sweetly Spolied Treats webite aa well as the company's Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to get more information and see some of beautifully made cakes, cupcakes, etc. You will also see pictures of various flavored desserts such as Key Lime Pie Cupcakes, Samoa "Girl Scout Cookie" Cupcakes, etc. Desserts can be created for any and all special occasions. Sweetly Spolied Treats serves NY, NJ and the Pennsylvania area.

All I have to say is red velvet!!! I had the pleasure of having the red velvet white chocolate…read moreKitKat cupcake and oh my god!!!! Incredibly delicious!!! The perfect amount of sweet! Not to mention her sugar cookies I legit requested a bucket full for the holidays. You can definitely taste the love.

I don't visit this area too often and didn't notice the shops in this strip area until recent and I…read morecouldn't help myself and had to roll into this bakery shop. Nope, I don't regret on failing my diet either. I ordered their pistachio, red velvet, peanut butter, Oreo, chocolate, coconut cupcakes. Instead of eating all, I sliced it into samples and shared with the family. My favorite is the pistachio, only because my love for pistachio itself but all cupcakes are good and moist. Definitely coming back here again!

HORRIBLE EXP!! STAFF RUINED OUR GENDER REVEAL BY REVEALING GENDER…read moreWe ordered gender reveal cupcakes on 10/12 (name is Rad on order), giving the employee a sealed envelope with the gender since we didn't know ourselves. Later that day, we called to change the pickup date from 10/17 to 10/14, and the employee confirmed the change. When I asked to make sure all cupcakes would be filled, she said, "Yes, all will be filled with pink," completely ruining the surprise. This was supposed to be a private, special moment for us as expecting parents, and it was ruined by carelessness. The next day, another employee called to confirm our order but didn't even seem to have the correct details, proving the lack of communication. Please train your staff better for situations like this--moments like ours can't be redone. I emailed the company - they said the store manager will call but never did. Completely unprofessional. -- Reema
