I decided on the buffalo chicken grilled cheese--a classic grilled cheese with shredded chicken tossed in buffalo sauce. The bread was perfectly toasted, the cheese melted all the way through, and the buffalo sauce had a mild kick with a familiar flavor. I really enjoyed this sandwich. I also had a cup of broccoli and cheddar soup, which was delicious, along with a sweet, iced tea. The cafe also has a boutique store and even offers yoga classes.

Zummo's is a coffee shop and cafe. I found it on Yelp. I could just tell it would be good. The number 2 way to judge a coffee shop. The coffee is good. My black iced coffee was good, and served quickly even though there were a lot of people there. They also sell beans from multiple roasters. Mostly blends. I was always talk about the shock and awe of a spot's baked goods case. I was shocked and awed. They had gigantic, amazing looking scones. I bought one that I'm saving for my family. I ordered a piece of one of 3 frittatas available. Spinach feta. It was way above average for cafe frittata. Good flavor and texture. They had a number of bagel sandwiches ready to be cooked. Although the front room was full when I walked in, it turns out they have a large back room as well. Lots of seating. Wood floors. They also have cool outside seating. I was impressed by Zummo's, and also the closeness of the Scranton community. Lots of people walking together outside. Gathering over coffee. Saying Hi to people.

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.

The blueberry wasn't as "strong" as I like but it was fine. The coffee wasn't burnt (I drink decaf, which is less popular and often "old" due to being less popular) which is my main concern. They have the "tap" at this location which is cool to see. The cashier was also very friendly, made a little small talk with me and she made sure she had my order right (I do something special). She also answered questions I had about the non dairy milk options. The line outside for cars was insane (13 cars deep!) but that didn't seem to be the fault of the staff.

There was a line of a few cars each time I've gone, however, the line moves pretty quickly but I'd imagine early morning on a weekday, prior to work that it may be busy and backed up as the lot is not that big. I believe I had the latte last visit and the cappuccino this visit- both great for what's in the area. They have many flavored and speciality coffees which are a bit too calorie dense and out there for me, but there's likely more of a market for that as opposed to my preference for more simplistic options. The baristas are also very bubbly and friendly, would definitely recommend!
