What adam t likes about The Black Dog:
Great spot, nice atmosphere and staff very friendly and helpful. Lots of choices, the menu had a bit more to offer than other cafes we'd visited. Fantastic breakfast and coffee, kids loved it too. View all feedback. What Martin Russell doesn't like about The Black Dog:
I have visited a couple of times but I am afraid not again. This is a nice little cafe that does coffee and the food is ok however the service is not good. The service is unfriendly bordering on rude. I gave it another chance but when you are made to feel uncomfortable then I won’t be back. View all feedback.

absolutely love this place!. amazing coffee and the best chocolate guinness cake I have ever tasted!

Great tasting breakfast using locally sourced ingredients, all served by attentive staff.

The Black Dog is a nice little cafe with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and a clever, tasty menu. However, some reviewers mentioned long wait times, small portions for the price, and inconsistent food quality. Despite mixed reviews, some visitors praised the fantastic breakfast, delicious coffee, accommodating service, and satisfying dining experience. Overall, The Black Dog is recommended for those looking for a cozy spot with beautiful presentation and bursting flavors, but be aware of inconsistencies in food quality and portion sizes.
