What customers say
If you take coffee seriously and appreciate the difference of a good quality blend and brew, then this is your spot. We could recognize it as soon as we walked in and smelled it, and our barista clearly put in the time and effort to make it right.
Love this little shop, coffee is excellent. The ambiance is wonderful, they keep a coffee roaster right out in front, really cool touch. The interior is very inviting, with ample seating. They focus just on Ethiopian coffee and all of their single origins are excellent.
Finally I can tell I found the best coffee in the US! Wait a second! One of the best coffees in the world! This location is absolutely beautiful! The staff are friendly and the sweets are delicious!
Great place great coffee. I go here whenever I'm in the area. I drive by at least 6 coffee shops to get to the Black Lion. The coffee is top notch. The owners are the best and at least one of them are almost always there. I keep a supply of their fresh roasted beans at home.
