I stopped for coffee and enjoyed the blend they had. I also got a pastry, which was very good. The staff was very friendly, and it is definitely a place I would return. I did not dine in, but loved that there were crayons to color on the paper cover of the table. The decor was fun as well.

The ice coffee nitro brew can be made with coffee ice cubes! Wow! They had the best vegan chocolate cake I have ever tasted! The apple dumplings were delicious! Crab omelette was so tasty as well! Avocado toast was delicious! What a great find in this cute little town.

Everything was amazing and so was the service. We tried the chorizo tacos, breakfast burrito, and the plain sammie. The kids breakfast trio was huge. Bonus were the Tesla chargers on the side of the restaurant.

Amazing food and great atmosphere! Very nice aesthetic. I also work at Women Supporting Women and we had a fundraiser to have holiday treats donated for an auction. Black Water Bakery donated this Death by Chocolate cake and it was absolutely delicious and super chocolaty.

Had a great breakfast this morning! I had the country style biscuits and gravy and my wife had the quiche Lorraine. We also got some peanut butter cookies and an almond and cheese danish to take on our walk through Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge which is nearby. Both of those were amazing in fact the cookie was probably the best I’ve ever had!

This is the third place in Cambridge that completely makes staying in the area worth it! (Of course, it doesn't hurt that there are Tesla chargers in the public parking right outside...) The food is fantastic. They do a little of everything, but it's primarily at lunch and breakfast location, as they close at 3PM. However, we found that if you get the at 7-7:30AM, there is no wait and you'll not be disappointed. We understand that after 9AM it starts to get busy and you may have to do take out. I will say that this is the ONLY place I've ever been to that makes a Quiche as good as my mother's. Honestly, I've been disappointed in that regard for the 30 years of my adult life, even from places that are supposedly French. They make all the normal food you'd expect... Black's makes excellent food and they do so wonderfully.
