Black Lion Coffee & Café

Pros: very nice atmosphere, good aesthetic for a coffee shop

Cons:
-Whomever the team leader was behind the counter couldn't bother to remove their earbuds. *Maybe that's why you I thought I said 2 Iced Lattes when I was the sole human being in there.*
- Took batched cold brew or iced coffee and put it in a cup then splashed milk on it and called it an " iced latte "
-Keeps batched Cold brew in a jug with a bunch of ice watering down the coffee

When someone orders an espresso drink hot or cold it's expected to be made fresh. Not poured out of a plastic jug filled with ice. That was a wild experience.

Most definitely the best coffee in the entire area ! Should it be for a macchiato, expresso or regular coffee there is no other place offering delicious coffee like at Black Lion. Not only the owners are true connoisseurs (and very friendly by the way!!) but the coffee comes straight from Ethiopia where coffee originally comes from. The place is very cosy, not noisy at all with great and cool music. Simply the perfect coffee shop to go to for a relaxing moment with a delicious croissant 🥐

Ordered and Iced dirty chai coffee with oat milk. Love this place

This is one of the best quality coffee in the area. The quality of the freshly roasted coffee is outstanding.

Great place great coffee. I go here whenever I'm in the area. I drive by at least 6 coffee shops to get to the Black Lion. The coffee is top notch. The owners are the best and at least one of them are almost always there. I keep a supply of their fresh roasted beans at home. They roast the beans on the premises so the aroma in the shop is perfect. This is a must go to coffee shop if you are in the area.

pros: coffee is delicious, my latte and my wife’s americano were both phenomenal. the atmosphere is lovely. the music wasn’t too loud so I could imagine this would be such a nice place to study and get some work done. the pastry I wanted wasn’t available but there is a good pastry selection!

cons: this was my second time visiting and the service was not great (both times). the person behind the counter (who was not the same person as the last time—but they were equally as rude) didn’t speak to us when we walked up to the counter, didn’t say “thank you” and was just pretty . I have worked in retail and restaurants in the past myself so I have a LOT of grace and compassion for folks in the service industry but they were so rude that we felt unwelcome and like we were bothering them.

tl;dr: coffee’s EXCELLENT, service is not.

Got a drip coffee and brewed coffee. Both were excellent and the owners were very nice and helpful. Nice comfy feel like a mom n pop coffee shop. Wish their mugs were for sale, very neat. Will be going again

I went here because it had such a high rating but honestly don’t waste your time. Ordered the hazelnut latte which was DISGUSTING and WATERED DOWN. When I went complain that it was more water than coffee the barista just kept saying “but you ordered a latte”. I’ve had lattes before, I know what it tastes like and that is not it! Also ordered the chocolate cake which tasted like they just bought it from Giant and served it. Iced caramel macchiato was way too sweet and sickening. Overrated and a complete waste of money. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Forget Starbucks....this place has the perfect latte and a true cafe environment! Friendly fast service as well! One of my absolute favs in the area!

Premium Ethiopian coffee that is roasted and brewed here. We ordered a hot caramal macchiatto and a vanilla bean frappachino. Both items were delicious and we'll prepared. Service was good and the place has a nice aesthetic.
