What People Are Saying
from Google"This is the greatest cafe!!! We had a wonderful experience!! The food/presentation were great as well as the waitress! The decoration is different and original. I love the tea experience too!! If you’re looking for something different, fun and out of the ordinary, go there!!"
"Such a unique, uplifting experience. I asked the Alchemist to surprise me, and since it’s Friday(venus) she chose Butterfly pea tea with a rose tincture. It changed colors when I added lemon because of the pH, which was so cool to watch. They also had me set an intention, and she used a little energy “zapper” to boost it. Everything felt thoughtful and positive — cozy vibe, healthy food, and little tinctures you can add to drinks or food. My daughter loved it and we’re definitely going back. ✨"
"Coming here was an incredible experience! The decor makes you feel transported back to ancient Egypt and the Turkish delight latte I had was so good that I immediately ordered a second one. The coffee is really first rate. They also serve food with a full kitchen and menu, but I didn’t eat this time. There are a wide variety of tinctures for wellness, and I got the turmeric tincture to help reduce inflammation. The cafe owners are really cool people and they’re happy to talk about esoteric topics while you enjoy your drink. Can’t wait to come back!"
"10/10! We had an excellent experience checking out Black Earth today! We each had drinks and food and they both were delicious, fresh, and very well prepared! The staff (shout out to Amber!) were fun, friendly, and made our experience awesome! We will be frequent returning guests when we’re in the Scranton area!"
"Everything from the vibe, to the food and drinks, to the friendly staff is amazing! Everything is made to order and doesn't disappoint. Came right after opening on a Saturday and it was already packed. They were already selling out of stuff in the first hour of being open. The staff is awesome and I wish I lived closer because I'd be there everyday. Can't wait for our next trip back."
