Blackwater Coffee & Cafe

I had never been to Blackwater Coffee and Cafe as I live an hour north. I was supposed to meet a client there for a patio lunch but she couldn't make it. So, I decided to grab a sandwich anyway. What I loved most is how safe I felt walking in there. With the COVID crisis continuing to hurt many local restaurants, this one had it down perfectly. They had a ton of signage stating you must wear a mask to come in and order. There was no way you were missing the signs. The place was spotless and seating was set up perfectly with all appropriate guidelines. Customer service was great and the Cuban I ordered was amazing! The two people working were busy but seemed to be having fun and keeping such a positive attitude! I will definitely be going back again when I am in the area. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Had a lovely scone and latte whilst chatting with a new friend by the warm fireplace, and planned out our quilting projects for the Ukrainian refugees. Great spot. Welcoming spot.

I am giving five stars for the sandwiches I like them a lot. That being said I am a bit confused about the coffee drinks... I’ll order a mocha it tastes like Folgers from a Keurig with a Swiss-miss coca packet dumped in it. Which isn’t terrible however ,I kinda of expect different...just .Figured they have an espresso machine or something . It won’t stop me from going there like I said I enjoy the sandwiches very much maybe I’ll just stick with coffee black next time.

Fantastic food and excellent service. We ordered boxed lunches for our group of 45 and the food was a hit for all of us. Appreciated their ability to cater to all of our dietary restrictions. Thank You!

The coffee shop is both quaint and cute with adorable furnishings. The food is always good, and it is just a family friendly place to go for breakfast and lunch.

Mix of upscale coffee and fast efficiency. Nice lounge furniture, very good food, easy to order. The location is easy to see, tough to get to with a mid turn entrance on 1 side. Cheap enough to make a routine.

This is a great café out west of the Cities. I've only been once, but I was duly impressed. Great selection of lunch options. I had the Cuban sandwich and it was very good. there is a deuce through. They offer a ride range of drinks and meal choices, provide free internet, have lots of cosy space (even a conference room available).

Only negative is the outdoor seating options. They are not comfortable and do not have a designated space. They are simply on the sidewalk next to the parking lot and you get a lot of road noise.

Good atmosphere. Serves as the community coffee shop. Service can be slow/overwhelmed on occasion, though it seems like they have recently made improvements in that area, bringing on some more staff. They should really just get rid of the drive thru, or make it used for drinks only. Not a lot of options in Maple Plain... I eat here a lot. Food is usually good, if a little overpriced.

Breakfast sandwiches were acceptable, coffee was good. Wait time was ridiculously long - for the coffees! Got our breakfast sandwiches about 10 minutes after ordering, got our plain coffees about 20 minutes after ordering. They apologized a couple different times, but that does not make it acceptable. Some of the poorest service I've ever experienced. BTW, while I was sitting and waiting, I took a count of customers in the cafe, including us - 12 people! Bad, bad, bad.

It was really busy but Annika and Sabrina (I asked for their names) kept their cool. There was a long list of orders, so I understand why I had to wait a little bit to get my food and my food came out hot. I could tell they were working as hard as they can to get all the orders out fast. Some people might not have the patience like a few people I observed while waiting for my food but it was really busy. I probably would have had a mental breakdown with all the orders that came in front of me and working with only three people.
