"Trendy breakfast and lunch spot in the downtown area. Coffee and avocado egg sandwich were delicious. Steady busy, but easy to find a seat at 9am on a weekday. Menu is eclectic, but familiar. Plenty of options for various dietary preferences. Interesting and fun local and specialized foods, seasonings, etc. On display and available to purchase. Think of a large popular worldwide coffe chain, but with character, and fresh and local foods."

"A nice enough spot to relax. Not quite comparable to other coffee shops in the East Bay though for ambience. It was a bit dark inside. The pesto fried chicken sandwich was amazing 10/10 and the mango lemonade was superb. Probably some of the best lemonade I’ve ever had. They mentioned they use Natalie’s so it’s not made in house though. I don’t mind. It’s definitely the best coffee shop in Barrington right now. A lot of the food items had Avocado which I am allergic to, which isn’t a knock against them. If you don’t like avocado they do have other options. They had high chairs and a tiny bathroom so no room for a diaper change. Staff weren’t very friendly but I didn’t mind. Will return for the delicious food!"

"Fantastic brunch cafe with good drink offerings, a consistently fantastic menu and an always rotating bakery selection. The front of house staff is always nice and make great drinks, and the cooks in the back are so consistent in how they put together their plates. Always delicious and leaving me waiting for the next time! Seating can get busy on weekend mornings between 9 and 11, but otherwise it's easy in and out with plenty of parking. They have a selection of local products for sale against the back wall and in the drink case as well which is a nice touch!"

"Black Pear is always my go-to for amazing local breakfast. The food is incredibly fresh and prepared perfectly. The coffee and espresso drinks are unmatched in my opinion, and the staff are friendly and helpful! There is also an assortment of prepared salads and sides that are fresh and delicious. Sometimes they carry Knead Doughnuts so that's another bonus! They even have rewards you can accrue to save money on future trips! Definitely stop in sometime! #supportsmallbusiness #shoplocal #barringtonri"

"Tried this place once before and enjoyed my coffee and breakfast sandwich. Not so this time. My French toast was nearly all black on the bottom. The mocha was good but my quick breakfast that I couldn't finish was $19… Pricey. Atmosphere is cute, small bakery, and items sold from local vendors. I was looking over some of the food items as I was waiting for my breakfast and all of the jars of pickles from a local seller were past the expiration date. If you visit this restaurant check the dates on any food you may purchase."
