What People Are Saying
from Google"For a coffee shop this far out from the metro, it's not bad. Flavor shots and oat milk substitutes are a $1 ea. The atmosphere is clean. The blueberry muffin was ok but not special."
"Awesome place to stop by for lunch and get some work done between meetings. The sandwich was tasty, a great combination of flavors! I loved the blue cheese and the quality of the meat. They also use Monin syrups, which are my favorite. My only complaint is that the oven/toaster smell is a bit overwhelming in the dining area. Not sure why, especially with a huge vent above the appliance. Still, a great spot to have lunch!"
"glad I finally stopped today! I drive by at least once a week and today was the day. I got an iced maple cinnamon cream chai latte (no whip) and the turkey vermonter to go both items were 10/10! lots of people milling about, chatting, doing homework, reading etc.. Plenty of seating: mostly table/chairs with a few soft seating options. today might have been the first but I will be back!"
"Food was very good, the workers were very nice, and the atmosphere is adorable with the yellow booths. There was a very awkward silence in there though so I feel like we had to be very quiet? I wish they would play music. I don't know, either way, we enjoyed our food, our coffee, and our experience here today. Will definitely be coming back again!"
"Blackwater makes decent coffee and i love the name of the place. Some of the beverages are way too sugary/milky for me and you get zero coffee flavor. I usually go with drip or black cold brew which are good just not strong enough for me. Blackwater is a good option if you dont want the giant chains."
