Best coffee on the island. The owners have a great attitude and couldn't be happier to serve their customers. Don't waste your time and money getting coffee elsewhere in Stone Harbor! read more

This place is pretty great. I look forward to it every year I come, yet unfortunately they were out of mango smoothies and they were for the whole week. They didn't have an order come in the next two days at least which was very disappointing. It definitely is a favorite for all that come so I can say for sure they had a bunch of people upset and missed out on some customers. They do have some trouble with staffing and it can be slow but if they have what you want, worth the wait. I would recommend calling if you don't know but they don't answer the phone consistently. It is a worth your time place on this island though! read more

Best place on the island for a latte and a bagel by far. No other place compares. The bagels are delicious especially when toasted with cream cheese. Great coffee, great food, and lovely staff. Love Cafe Noir! read more

Strolled into Cafe Noir on Monday morning based on the reviews I read here and I must have gone to a different place. The milk in the latte I ordered was steamed way beyond what it should be. The milk was practically burned. Same goes for the mocha we ordered. They use La Colombe, like everyone else. Over $12 for two coffee drinks is a bit steep, especially since you can get the same coffee without the superheating around the corner for less. I was considering getting a bagel with cream cheese, but was puzzled by the pricing. $1.50 for a plain bagel is typical and normal, but $4.50 for just adding plain cream cheese?!?! The egg sandwich on a bagel was $5! How can a smear of cream cheese cost $3? Is it made by local cream cheese artisans using cows which were rescued from industrial dairies? Also seemed a bit disorganized, like we got there too early for them to be ready for customers. read more

Great quick breakfast. Good bagel sandwiches and nice strong coffee.

A nice little cafe in Stone Harbor, good coffee and bagels but nothing really stood out. The nutella coffee was good, but not as amazing as it sounded. There wasn't a ton of nutella flavor and the coffee itself was not that flavorful. The bagels are shipped in from Brooklyn and are nice and chewy and the creme cheese is good, but again didn't totally stand out. Good breakfast option for the area where there aren't a ton of options. read more

Great great latte! What have I been drinking at home? Not this!! Yum. Also fresh yogurt, crepes.

Their bagels are insanely good but their service is consistently terrible. They need to work out the logistics in the back because even on slow times a tremendously made bacon, egg, and cheese takes like 20 minutes. On busy times , don't plan on getting your food within 30 minutes. Last time I went I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. After 25 minutes of waiting I asked where my sandwich is at. They replied "couple more minutes". 10 minutes go by and they notify me that there are no more everything bagels when clearly 35 minutes ago their was a myriad of them. Long story short, good food (crepes look good too), worst consistent service on island easily. read more

Your chocolate chip muffins do not have chocolate chips inside of the muffin and I am very disappointed The coffee had bad taste also

Amazing! Just what we needed! So glad we found cafe noir!! We've been taking trips to Avalon for 3 years now and finding good coffee was a constant struggle. We are Starbucks junkies and the nearest Starbucks is 15 min away. The staff is incredibly friendly and warm and they offer free parking right behind their store. Bagels were the BEST bagels I've ever had! Coffee was great as well and the menu is extensive. This is a must if you are in the Avalon/ stone harbor area. read more

Just stopped in Cafe Noir for a cup of Joe and a shortbread cookie.First time customer; most excellent! Will be back to try their breakfast sandwiches and lunch too. Very nice folks!¹ read more

This is a great little place. Minimal inside seating, cute outdoor seating. Unlike the other place, takes credit cards and the line moves fast. Very nice people, good breakfast sandwiches, great coffee (iced and hot). Good pastries. Wish they had a size up for iced coffee. Also the smoothie was more like a slushy -- I don't think there was a "creamy" portion (yogurt, milk, banana, whatever). Seemed to be ice and fruit. Other than that -- go here. Nicer people, nicer coffee, just better. read more

Wonderful little cafe. The entire Cafe Noir staff is all great, and the owner Delon has a fascinating personality and a deep appreciation of his customers. As soon as I bought my first cup of coffee, I had to sit down and write this review. In the process, I saw him rush out from behind the counter in order to open the door for a customer with a stroller. He has an attention to detail that is tremendous. For example, sitting here right now, I noticed that all the bottles in the cafe are facing with the labels perfectly faced front, the floor is spotlessly clean, and every framed photograph is perfectly aligned. But it's all about the coffee, and there simply is not a better place for coffee in the greater Stone Harbor area (sorry Avalon and Wildwood). read more

Awesome coffee, bagels, and crepes. Smooth roasted coffee. Some kind of special baking process for bagels makes them lighter than most but still very flavorful. No need to scoop out the inside if you're diet conscious. Wonderful host. Attentive staff. You'll want to be a regular. read more

Best coffee, best baked goods, best atmosphere and employees are so kind! Gotta try the Cinnabon's

Great coffee!! I got an iced vanilla latte and the woman working explained the drinks very nicely for a better understanding. Little pricey but it was excellent coffee and I was happy with my experience and purchase. Very prompt as well, will definitely visit again! read more

The coffee is over priced. The pricing itself does not make any sense. A 12 oz Americano with only one shot of espresso should not be more expensive than a double shot of espresso. It is just adding hot water. I work in a coffee shop myself and was appalled at the over pricing. Yes, I understand we are at the beach, but the prices are ridiculous. My cappuccino was not up to the standards of the prices they charged. Also the service was very slow. Yes, I understand you need to work with the customers, but if you have other waiting customers, you need to make sure you take notice of that. Also, learn how to work your register. read more

Cafe Noir is THE place to go in Stone Harbor and Avalon for coffee, espresso drinks, smoothies, and Brooklyn bagels to die for. Light and airy. Dolan has a winner here. Pork roll, egg and cheese on a plain bagel was perfectly prepared. Be ready to stand in line after 10am. This place is super popular. Xfinity wifi is available to comcast subscribers. read more

Really nice people, excellent service, and a great selection of gluten free items. They really take food allergies seriously! Thank you for providing such a great service to people who suffer from food allergies and intolerances. I highly recommend this place to anyone who visits Stone Harbor! read more

Coffee is very good and made properly. Prices are more reasonable than other shops in the area and the owners are friendly. Food is decent and made well. Good selection of n/a drinks as well. read more

Excellence in Everything! Cafe Noir is an awesome and unique Coffee shop that will satisfy anyone. In fact, the owners are very personal and will tailor anything to your liking...guaranteed! I do highly suggest an iced, dark roast, coffee with a hint of dark chocolate (i.e., no milk or cream of any kind needed.) In addition, all of the sandwiches and a variety of food options are absolutely delicious. If you want the best coffee, you should go to Cafe Noir. I travel extensively throughout the world, visit alot of coffee shops and Cafe Noir is probably the best coffee shop I have been too. Again, you have to come in and try it! It's like a haircut....you have to be there to get the experience. As for the customer service....beyond anything that words can say. The owners are very dedicated to their business, fun to be with, very knowledgeable about the business and the coffee industry, take an interest in their customers, and have a deep integrity and commitment to their customers! They are here to stay and so are we! read more

This place is awesome. A true gem. Great iced coffee, and the bagel sandwiches are delicious. I returned a second day for a crepe made perfectly. read more

Double espresso...hands down, the best I've ever had!!! Best was in Milan, followed by Maialino (Gramercy Park area) in Manhattan. This was truly a rare find at the shore. Well worth the drive. Still thinking about how good it was.... read more

Wonderful breakfast spot! Coffee & espresso top notch and bagel sandwiches delish. Yogurt parfait with berries and muffins great too. Delightful staff...one of our favorites read more

A Lovely, long needed, new addition to Stone Harbor. A true coffee shop with a European flair. The owners are a delight. The food is delicious & I believe that the bagels & pastries are from New York. You can't get better than a New York bagel. Try their delicious berry salad, you'll be glad you did. I wish them well and hope to see them each time we return to Stone Harbor in the years to come. They deserve to be patronized. read more

A cappuccino is actually made properly unlike some places that don't ever check the temperature or brew time. And bagels are awesome...if not mistaken, owner has them sent in from NYC. Great owner...who knows what he's doing... read more

It took me almost 5 days, but I finally found the best espresso and latte on the island. They have whole milk, make great espresso/latte and . . . wait for it . . . actually ask whether you like the drink after you take your first sip (which, it turns out, I definitely did! . . .) Clearly the best coffee on the island! read more

Wow! Wonderful Paninis and delicious crepes. A rare and spectacular treat. Nice staff too we'll definitely be back!

Great bagels and sandwiches but awful service. I waited over a half hour for a toasted bagel. Something is definitely wrong with the logistics behind the counter. Give it a try but keep in mind it will most likely take awhile. read more

Best coffee on the island. Owners super accommodating and friendly. So glad they are here providing quality coffee and friendly service.

This place is amazing. The bagels get shipped in every morning from Brooklyn. They are so delicious and not overly heavy like the ones you can get at every other spot on the island. Coffee and lattes are great also... AND they take credit card... which is key. Can't stand the places down here that only take cash and charge you $5 to get cash out of their ATM... everyone should be taking credit card... it's 2014. read more

My husband and I love a good cup of coffee and this place delivers. It has become our daily routine when we are in SH. The owner goes out of his way to make us feel welcome. I especially love the decor, so warm and cozy. It's the only place we go for coffee at the shore! 5 stars! read more

great spot with coffee, latte and freshest bagels and croissants we've ever had! breakfast sandwich was good and can eat un, outside on picnic table or take out. friendly staff and cute little place that was a nice surprise... read more

I'm sitting in my home in Hershey, PA this morning (temp approx. 10 degrees), eating my "Umpqua" oatmeal. I first discovered Umpqua oats in Stone Harbor last summer, while having breakfast at Cafe Noir. This morning, all I can think about it returning to Stone Harbor this summer & having coffee & breakfast every chance I get at Cafe Noir. Like everything else at the Shore, it's pricey, yes. But worth every penny for every bite & every sip! These owners work hard, and long hours. Get to know them, you'll love them & CAFE NOIR! read more
