It's really nice inside, clean and bright, lots of seating and a large assortment of coffee, cocoa and other items to purchase to take home. The line wasn't long but it was still nice to get our order taken care of by one of the employees while we waited. When we got to the counter we added a cookie to our order and the drinks came right out! The counter person was very friendly! Here's the thing....unless I missed it there was no restroom? Maybe it was outside? And although I saw mostly all excellent reviews on Yelp, I thought my coffee (the cold Milky Way) was just ok. I'm not sure what would have made it better, but it just wasn't that great. I did like the fact that it had no ice (which means more coffee in your cup) but was still cold and refreshing.

Friendly staff & a good menu on a surfboard. Seemed like everyone was ordering the breakfast burritos with their coffee, we had the normal cappuccino and sat outside on high tables they had. The coffee was very good that we bought some to take back to our BnB. Had a little bit of swag to buy. Worth the wait in line.

They've got some great combos of teas, coffee, desserts, breakfast sandwiches and more. We enjoyed our cute matcha lattes with the foam leaves. That breakfast burrito with the bacon, egg, and potato was inhaled- so delicious with that side of green sauce. Such a pleasant coffee breakfast spot to dine in. I definitely want to return when spending another morning in Healdsburg.

We've asked front staff about this and they are generally clueless and unable to forward questions to management. Or maybe management hears but doesn't care? Sent an email to Black Oak's customer support last week and 7 days later, still no reply. Cellular is sketchy throughout Healdsburg.so WiFi is helpful to use Black Oak's online site to order. Often see locals and visitors confused about their site not loading with WiFi supposedly connected. Poor customer experience. Either shutoff the WiFi or simply fix by buying a better WiFi router

There's also some nice outdoor seating off to the side with more greenery and shade. Ordered one of their spring drinks: Violet Shade, a matcha latte with lavender and mint. I got mine with almond milk and to be half sweetened. It's a bit pricey coming out to $8ish for a hot 12oz drink but I do Ike treating myself once a week for a good cafe stop. I could have settled for a regular matcha too! Love that they give mugs for any "for here" drinks too. Drink was cozy and very good! Lavender was there but didn't overpower the matcha. Good microfoam in the drink and no clumps at the bottom of my mug when the drink was gone! All good signs of a well made matcha drink. Hope to be back soon to try their espresso drinks with their own roasts!
