Black Cat

The Black Cat was a pleasant surprise. We were in Sharon Springs to do some shopping and the Black Cat was next door to where we were, so we stopped in for lunch. The decor is tastefully funky. We talked to the owner, who is somewhat of the town historian, and got a pretty expensive history of the area. The menu is small, but there was plenty to choose from. I got the Thanksgiving sandwich, and it was loaded with turkey and stuffing. My wife got a BLT which was great as well. This place is good enough that it warrants going out of the way to sample their cuisine. We will be back!

Sunday is the day my sister and I take my 88 yr old Dad out for breakfast. Haven’t been happy with our experience at a Cobleskill Diner in the past, so we decided to take a scenic drive. We googled restaurants and The Black Cat came up. We found a diamond in the rough. What a quaint little cafe that reminded us of the 50’s. Food was yummy and the owner was very accommodating. Will definitely be back.

Pros..Beautiful atmosphere love the decor and the warmth of this place..the own was so nice he came over to the table and made small talk with us..i really enjoyed that...cons...I got a freezing cold muffin😔😔😔 it was at least 2 days old but the worst part about this is that they didnt even warm it up before they served it...that has never happened before!

If you find yourself at the Canajoharie Exit on the New York Thruway around lunch time, exit and drive south for 15 minutes to Sharon Springs where you will find the Black Cat Cafe and Bakery. Treat yourself to the daily homemade soup or fresh green salad with figgy balsamic vinegar and one of the eclectic sandwiches that have been perfected by the owner/host, Tony, over many years. The picture shows 1/2 of the Thanksgiving Everyday sandwich to the left and 1/2 of the Reuben sandwich to the right. The turkey is roasted on site and comes with delicious homemade cranberry sauce and stuffing, and the corned beef is the leanest and most delicious I've had in a long time. It is also possible to order boxed lunches delivered to the Glimmerglass Theater in Cooperstown. We've always enjoyed these meals when attending performances there. After lunch enjoy browsing nearby shops, including the Beekman 1802 Mercantile.

Having fun in Sharon Springs. This is one of very few places to eat and fortunately a very good place to eat! Good selection and great desserts.

This is a lovely cafe with fresh homemade and locally sourced food. I love sitting outside and enjoying lunch in this eclectic setting.

Good prices for great items. Everything from there was very good including the chocolate croissant, blueberry muffin and the donuts. The workers are very sweet and kind.

I never would have stopped here if a friend hadn't taken me. If fact, I wouldn't have even turned down the street off the main highway.
The four of us had various sandwiches which were outstanding.
If you want a breakfast or lunch spot worth trying, instead of the ordinary chain place, cardboard food substance, this is your place.

Love this place, and the owner is fantastic. Had the most amazing meals. It's worth the ride to take a scenic ride to this historic village and get a bite to eat.

Charming cafe. The food is great, home made, definitely made with love. My only complaint is that for the price (which is on the high side) I expect something to come with my sandwich, maybe a small side of salad or a few fries or even a pickle? A sandwich always tastes better when it has a companion to nibble on. And it would look so much more appealing on the plate. I will take a picture next time I eat there to show what I mean.
