    Outdoor dining that's not on the sidewalk- lovely shady and quiet
    Regina M.

    I've been a mostly-regular for a while now. FDC and I make time to have breakfast together on Sunday mornings. It's a great way to catch up without partners & kids. Today we ordered an item so new that it's not yet on the printed menu: Waffle Sticks. What in the free world are they? Well, picture a waffle shaped like a corn dog, except it's a waffle. I have to say this is like having fun carnival food without the hassle, heat, lines and crazy pricing. I got mine "plain" (you can get chocolate chips inside them) with sides of maple syrup and Nutella for dipping. Yeah? It's Heaven. Lovely little cafe, great service, and the money you spend goes to a nonprofit animal rescue. What's not to love?

    Gotta give this sweet cat cafe props for a comfy atmosphere and the support the business gives to its resident feline rescues. Loved the experience of dining here. The food and coffee were all right, but a little on the pricier side. My friends and I split our bill and left at different times, so there was a little confusion about what was already paid. But luckily the paid paper receipt covering my friends' orders was discovered, otherwise I would've been stuck paying their bill. This hiccup occurred largely because the bill is paid at the front counter, and it would've been troublesome if the paper receipt was lost in the shuffle had the cafe been busier. Tip: Make sure to tell the server ahead of time who exactly is in your party and how you want the bill split to avoid any confusion. Without a digital system, it can be a little hard to split bills later, especially if people leave at different times.

    Breakfast burrito

    The cutest place ever!! And the donations go to the kitties!! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was fantastic. I loved the amount of avocado they added, I got some in every bite! They also have a cute little gift shop too and super friendly staff :)!

    Love the cat decor throughout

    I surprised my daughter by taking her to The Black Cat Cafe for lunch. We have a rescue cat that we adopted as a kitten and love cats. The cafe is cute with lots of cat decor throughout. There were 3 black kittens in cages that we saw as soon as we walked in although we were hoping to see more. The waitstaff was friendly, but after we were seated (behind a wall), I think they forgot about us. After some time, we had to step around the corner and remind someone we were there. Once we ordered, our food arrived quickly. We shared their three-bean veggie chili which was good although I would have liked it to be spicier. It was served in an adorable cat bowl. We also each ordered the Black Cat Combo. I enjoyed the strawberry salad and homemade quiche while my daughter liked her Caesar salad and artichoke grilled cheese. This is a charming place for breakfast or lunch.

    Avocado Bacon and Cheese (comes with potato salad and chips)

    First off, I love the mission here. All the staff are volunteers and support the nonprofit -- only paid through tips. The space is cozy and homey. The furniture looks a little strewn together, but it works. We came here on a Saturday for a quick bite (and to see the cats up for adoption). The Black Cat Cafe serves up quality food from courteous staff. Note I'm rating this place as I would for any other restaurant, but take any criticisms with a grain of salt as this is a well-meaning nonprofit that actually does the restaurant thing pretty well. Avocado Bacon and Cheese Sandwich - Savory and melty, this sandwich was pretty good. It was a little light on avocado and bacon, but heavy on the cheese. A bit more bacon and avocado would have really made this one great. The sides were great. I really enjoyed the potato salad, which was unassuming but packed a lot of flavor. The chips were good -- standard crunchy ones. Value: 5/5 Quality: 3/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 3/5

    A very cute and quaint restaurant! The waitress was extremely friendly and helpful, as well as other staff. The proceeds go to animal rescue, which made for some nice, guilt free indulgence. The pancake platter was so good! The pancakes were enormous and fluffy and the fruits were surprisingly ripe given that it was winter. I've heard their French toast is really good too, so I'm definitely looking forward to a second visit to find out first hand.

    Vegan Garfield breakfast. (Just delivered to my table. Believe it or not I had not eaten any of it yet.)

    Sorry, but when you are excited to have breakfast and want some of everything this just doesn't cut it. The pancake and French toast are acceptable, but the other dish looks like it was leftovers from someone else's meal. This is the Vegan Garfield Sampler for NINETEEN dollars. The tofu scramble arrived with two dinky pieces of tofu. TWO!

    I visited last night with a few people, and we had the place to ourselves, which was a surprise given how good the food was. We had a variety of different dietary needs and preferences and Black Cat Cafe was able to accommodate all of us. I took advantage of the combo offer, which was truly a good deal. Our server was attentive and I really appreciated the cat decor.

    Respectable cause but mediocre food. Table not clear of crumbs is not a great sign when one arrives at opening.

    I had a private party for 22 there - couldn't have been any better!! They were wonderful to work…read morewith and Michael (owner) is a delight! Had a cocktail hour w/a cheese board that was lovely. And a huge savings from the fact that It's a BYOB and they don't charge a corkage fee. The food was WONDERFUL - everyone raved about it, portions were large and service was quick and very friendly. The dinner menu for the occasion offered a choice from two salads (the burrata salad with fresh peaches is a winner!) 3 entrees and desserts. The desserts were - as always - absolutely yummy! I always go for the profiteroles but then there's their signature donuts (yum) and....well, any dessert is a winner. It was the perfect choice for a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion! Had been there many times for lunch but never dinner - but I will be back and can't wait to try brunch. You can't go wrong at The Silverspoon!

    I decided to dine here mainly because I am a lover of savory pies, and the Duck Pie did not…read moredisappoint. So many times when I eat out and a savory pie is on the menu I find myself staring at a deconstructed thing. All the ingredients piled on a plate in a lovely gravy with a Pie Puff on top. Good, but not great. In this The Silverspoon already has my vote as they made an honest to god PIE. Full crust top and bottom and when you factor in that the filling was spectacular, the duck juicy and tender and the crust not too flaky and not too crunchy? I was in heaven. Piled atop the Pie was a veritable mountain of watercress and Pomegranate seeds (next time I will set them to the side so I can choose the proper amount per mouthful) and it's here that the Pie really took off. The Pomegranate seeds were little jewels of sweet and tart juice that gave a little pop of color and cool to the delicious duck with every bite. I was so very thrilled with it. I got an opportunity to speak with the new proprietor Michael and he was also an absolute pleasure. The service was friendly and the food was incredible. I will absolutely be back! The only thing I wish was that I had checked my doggie bag before I left, sadly my pie leftovers must have been placed in another bag. That's okay though, it just means that I have to go back and order again :D
