Worst service and worst tasting latte ever ! I come in and. try to place an order and the person at the cash register doesn’t even greet me let alone acknowledge me. Just a blank stare. No ,” good morning, how can I help you, or, welcome to Black Kite how can we help you go ahead and order when you’re ready". Nothing, just a stare . Apprx 20-30 seconds go by with person staring at me then, I finally figure she’s unable to communicate but more than likely can hear me, so, I place my order, and to my surprise she can actually speak and tells me my total. This is just the beginning . While I’m waiting for my order 4 more people come in behind me and place orders, all the while I’m staring at the coffee grinder/espresso machine while one person sees me but continues with making meat pies. The other, I’m assuming a manager possibly, all the while I’m waiting along with all the people that come in behind me she ignores everyone and does nothing to assist with doing something as low effort as making coffee drinks, can’t even pour one customer a cup of hot water for his tea he ordered . She stares at me but continues speaking with the other 2 employees(one man'ng the cash register, the other, making meat pies, or, whatever it is he’s doing are busy , all she continues doing is speaking to the other two and is so sensationally lazy she refuses to help push any orders out . I end up waiting 15mins for a latte . POOR SERVICE! I’d give a negative 5 stars if it were possible The latte, I couldn’t take more than a couple sips of because it was so horrible . Save your $5.50 and go elsewhere . I always want to support our local businesses but some make it impossible to want to give them business even. This would be one of them.
Good place to chill and vibe with friends 💚🌼🌻🌷🌹🌹
stopped here while on a business trip. the barista’s were so friendly. those bagel balls are amazing, I still dream about them. I had a strawberry coffee (I think it’s a spring 2023 special) it was so unique and tasty. will definitely visit whenever I am in town!
Nice chill spot, good coffee, reasonably priced, I will definitely come again
I loved the pickle ball and green tea. Will be back to try the others.
First time here. Our party ordered cappuccinos, mocha latte, and regular coffee. All of their coffee drinks were excellent. We also all ordered cinnamon rolls and they were very good and fresh. They have a nice selection of coffee drinks and pastries. We didn't try their wines but they have a nice selection. Nice atmosphere, clean, fair prices. Friendly staff.
Do BLACK Kite, hire "black" people? Just wondering....I know they apply too!!!
I don't even really like coffee but I like this place. Got a caramel latte (I think). Pretty mild medium roast. Not too bitter for a non coffee enthusiast. Wish I tried the bagel balls everyone raves about. I tried a turkey pesto sandwich and was a little disappointed. We went pretty early in the morning but it seemed like a yesterday's sandwich that was microwaved. Light on the turkey, light on the cheese, light on the pesto.
Their bagel bombs are delicious! I tried a honey and cardamom iced latte which was surprisingly so good! Will definitely stop again if I am passing through
An OWE staple and favourite spot. The baked goods on offer are delectable as are the drinks with wonderful variety!
Went to Black Kite Coffee for breakfast today. Got the Breakfast Sammie and the Chai Tea Latte! Located in Toledo, Ohio!
Best place in Toledo for your coffee fix
This eclectic, independently owned coffeehouse in Toledo, Ohio’s historic Old West End neighborhood serves up delicious fresh Cafe Americano beverages and attracts a loyal, vibrant, and enthusiastic clientele. It is definitely a place to see and be seen in Toledo. It is not as elitist or snobbish, however, as the Toledo institutions that cater only to doctors, lawyers, and educators. When you want to shop local in Toledo, the place to do it is Black Kite Coffee.
Best hot chai tea I've ever had! Omg. Neighborhood isn't great but hey it's worth the visit. Me and my companion had a good time, really comfy atmosphere, nice decor, and nice staff with fast service.
The prices are reasonably low given a high inflationary time. That alone merits 5 stars. Chill environment, spacious, lots of windows, big drink selection, good bakery items. Can’t ask for much more
Absolutely positively best local coffee and brunch. My food was delicious and original. Highly recommend. The parking is a little tricky but all worth it!
Wow. Their weekend brunch is to DIE FOR. I brought in family from out of town just to try their weekend brunch. The flavor pallette of their fried pork over french toast with tart apples is something very unique to this place. The tomatoes with their breakfast hash is such an amazing compliment. Oh and they serve amazing cocktails for their special :))) WOW! I'll be here every weekend now. Breakfast brunch is served Saturday and Sundays from 9am-1pm Also their latte's taste different then most coffee shops in a good unique way. I love when coffee shops have varying tastes and their iced raspberry latte is very well put together. They have great bagel balls and turkey pesto sandwiches that can be bought on anyday of the week. Lastly coffee is locally roasted here in Toledo by flying rhino.
Have been here mang many times! Atmosphere is comfortable and products are yummy (love that they offer vegetarian/vegan options) BUT ... the parking sucks and the baristas are either new and sweet, but clearly untrained or OG and not kind.
Always clean, a little busy (in a good study background noise way), and the bagel balls are delish and satisfying!
Brunch was delicious. Sampled the ham, cheese, and asparagus omelet, biscuits and gravy, and French toast. A bit less salt in the gravy and biscuits would be preferred.. love their homemade cinnamon rolls. Will be back!
