Black Sheep Coffee

When I went to JMU years ago black sheep was just coming up to rival Greenberrys. Now that Ive come back as an alumnae Im happy to say theyve got a great space with ample space to study, cubbies for “solitude”, and outdoor seating if thats more your speed. Theyve got pastries as well as a small breakfast/lunch menu, and alcohol for later in the day if thats what youre craving. Perfect for a quick bite, though parking was very small and youve got to be crafty to find a place. Definitely more of somewhere you walk to.

Friendly staff, great breakfast sandwiches and desserts. I'm no coffee connoisseur, but I really liked the latte I got. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Nice and cozy inside, good amount of space to sit.

Wasted an entire hour at this coffee shop- they have the worst system for orders. They need to fire the tall girl with curly hair/ she worked the register- got my order wrong until i pointed it out- told her THREE times that i don’t want bacon, ok she fixed it- 45 minutes later, what do I receive..a bacon cheddar biscuit. I had to ask for a refund for half my order bc they never made my panini either (waited 50 minutes until i asked for a refund), and when i received my biscuits- found out that it had BACON- I didn’t want to waste another hour for a refund. I had to leave, it was so incredibly frustrating. The only person working there was a young barista with dark hair. I mean seriously- how did i wait 50 minutes for an order and walk away with a cold latte? This was so frustrating, i left the biscuits and croissant at the counter, never received my refund bc the tall register lady was so incredibly slow. SO FRUSTRATING, I don’t think i can ever justify coming back here again, not only did i loose out on 50 minutes, i never received my breakfast/lunch bc they never made it AND got the wrong order. For anyone wondering if they should come here- Don’t, it’s not worth the wait.

Very upset at this coffee shop, was excited bc of the reviews posted. I understand that every restaurant is understaffed, but this issue is a direct reflection of bad management- Bad hire aside, they have the worst process for orders too- two customers ended up taking other customers’ order bc they don’t take names or provide receipts with an order. It’s really not worth it, We were better off going to Magpie diner for a sit down breakfast, would’ve been quicker and less frustrating, and wouldn’t have lost out on money either.

Coffee is always good. Oddly, they were out of eggs when we arrived at about 10am for breakfast on a Sunday.

Good food and open early! The only early game in town really which was useful to fuel up before early morning treks into the national park.

The coffee was good, London fog was a little bitter. The bacon egg and cheese is dry, but if you ask for extra cheese you’re golden. The chorizo breakfast burrito is also good!

Nice waitstaff/baristas too. Lots of space to sit and spread out inside.

Oat milk cappuccino was the perfect foaminess and tasted as a cappuccino should. Atmosphere is wonderful with all of the art pieces hanging around and there is plenty of lounge options in the chill sit-down area. Def a nice place to wind down and refill your caffeine levels.

I adore this coffee shop. Amazing coffee and great atmosphere. Healthy snacks and drinks too.

Very disappointed-I came in this establishment with the hopes of purchasing a black sheep for my farm, only to find that this place does not sell sheep. Instead of the livestock I expected, I found myself with a vanilla latte made by hipsters with beanies. 10/10 will come again, but still mad about the confusion this place's name gives it.

1st time visiting with my fiancé Rebecca on our way to Thanksgiving travels. We both ordered chai lattes with oat milk. The staff was friendly, the environment was great. Tons of places to sit and enjoy the space.

HOWEVER … this was the worst chai latte I’ve ever drank. It was SO bitter and made the back of my throat feel like I just ate ginger. It LOOKED amazing … but they need to buy David Rio Spice Chai instead and put half the amount of cinnamon on top. Then they’d have a winner!

Will be back in the future, loved the space and environment!

Real homemade pastries. Very very good coffee. I go here several times a week. Very rarely impressed with the service. Slow, require reminders to give you everything you ordered, staff find chatting with coworkers more important than making to go coffee for customers who are obviously dressed to go to work and don't have time to wait 20 minutes.
