Blackwater Coffee & Cafe

This place is great! The service was wonderful, especially a lady named Sabrina, she was so nice and helpful, and cheery. I had the most amazing caramel apple drink, seriously so good. And the most amazing grilled cheese I’ve EVER had! Thinking about it now makes me want another one! The music is nice, and the live music really draws a crowd. Will definitely be back!

I stop by after league golf on Tuesdays to get my dose of caffeine and eat a bit of lunch. I like their selection of sandwiches and specials. I crave a cookie waaay too often. Lattes are just okay imo, but the best in a 10-mile radius (and I've tried them all). Sometimes I will eat inside, but that stopped during the pandemic (maybe again this summer). The interior is spacious with good seating and decent wifi.

This is my third time visiting the store. Tried two types of coffee and one sandwich, liked all of them. The staff is very friendly. Will come back again.

Blackwater is a town landmark. They've always worked hard for me, even when hit with a crushing load of people waiting on their food. Blackwater isn't "fast food" nor is it "fast coffee". Blackwater is a wide variety of things and often a meeting place for fledgling businesses, a gourmet coffee shop for people traveling to work in the morning, a restaurant serving delicious food for the lunch crowd, a first or second job for a lot of young adults, or even a date night when there's music playing.

Those who judge Blackwater strictly by fast food or fast coffee standards miss what makes Blackwater special and I hope that no matter who visits it or owns it or reviews it, that they remember where Blackwater's strengths truly lie. It's a quality bit of everything, for a small town that needs a bit of everything. And for that, I'm truly grateful.

Ordered food there from today along with 2 other people for our work lunch. My french toast tasted old and some parts of the bread were hard. The others got sandwiches that were decent but made them both feel sick after. Coffee was mediocre and my smoothie was separating within 20 minutes.

If I could leave ZERO stars if I could , I’m a regular every day I’m greeted with a smile and extra love & today I was not very happy the young gal at the front counter thought that it was way more important to finish her text message before coming to the counter to ask what I wanted , and with that being said it’s the same drink I order everyday and it was made all wrong.

When I occasionally drive through Maple Plain I always make a trip to Blackwater. Menu full of choices that I love. Coffee and service is top notch. Love the drive thru for those really snowy winter days.

We have been going to BlackWater Bistro for many years now. Before Covid-19, we would meet and talk with friends that showed up every Saturday. When Covid-19 hit, that all stopped. Since they have opened to eating inside, we go every Thursday and Saturday. The staff is awesome. They are friendly, helpful and courteous. The owner, after he purchased Black Water, would always stop by our table and ask how we are doing. If our food was ok. He also was very responsive to suggestions. Honestly, we are very happy that there a place like Black Water that is close, to meet friends and have great food and specialty drinks.

I just got a caesar salad here today. Honestly I could have done a better job at home. The salad was iceberg lettuce and what tasted like frozen chicken from a bag and a few croutons. Didn't look good or taste good. I have had sandwiches here before and expected a great salad but was not impressed at all. I won't be back.

Great ambience- great drink- friendly staff!
