Black Forge Coffee House I - Allentown

Bagel was good and the coffee was strong. I liked the mug it was served in too. No parking close but it will be worth the walk.

This place has the best coffee ever! I’m dying for them to open an outpost in New York City (If I knew how to drive I would drive the eight hours to go buy more of their coffee!) Absolutely love the metal decor -even the table tops have beautiful paintings! Nice big windows too. Such a fun chill place to have a cup of coffee! If I’m ever in town again I hope to catch a show there, they get some really good bands!

Great coffee house with a unique, heavy metal-inspired vibe. The coffee was excellent as well. If I had to offer a critique, I would say that they could perhaps offer more in the way of snacks and pastries, but that's not a particularly big deal. The woman who frequently is at the counter (with the blue hair) is extremely friendly as well. Would recommend!

This place is a complete letdown, and their coffee/menu is my favorite in the area but service is terrible. There’s only ever 1 person working despite peak times, drinks are made out of order. BE PREPARED TO WAIT TO DEATH.

Black Forge is one of my favorite coffee shops. The specialty drinks are incredible--I'm a huge fan of the Thunder Horse myself. Plenty of seating and outlet space, and the atmosphere is incredible. All of the staff is very kind and friendly. If you like metal, punk, or any adjacent music genres, this is the place for you. The tea is also quite excellent--the London fog latte is really good. Bathrooms are single-use and in good conditon--the chalk walls are a nice touch! I frequent a lot of coffee establishments and as friendly as they tend to be, I can face routine harassment from patrons because I'm transgender. The staff and patrons here are both wonderful, and I have had no negative experiences. 10/10!

I come here just about every Sunday, I've always had an amazing experience, the staff is always friendly, and both of the owners are always awesome and helpful. The music is and atmosphere are great, metal and coffee go so well together. The coffee is always delicious, and the pastries and such are great too. Basically, I love this joint, and you should too.

Coffee was good. Workers were efficient but disinterested at best. Parking is a serious issue. Location, location, location. Score would be higher if parking was available. Going to try the other location soon.

My only complaint is that the oat milk they used wasn't cold so my iced latte has no ice after about 7 minutes. But it was made right and tasted fine. I'd go back if I was ever in the area. Just consider asking for extra ice if you use a milk alternative.

Amazing black metal coffee shop! Best time ever!

Stopped in for a quick coffee one day. This place is great! Very unique and dark but comforting feel to it. Lots of really unique music and art in this place. I got whatever the barista recommended and I was very pleased. If you're in the neighborhood check it out. Definitely a memorable place!
