    Great breakfast
    Randy P.

    Service is warm and friendly. The owner Glen was working the till and taking orders. I got the bacon, egg and cheese croissant. So yummy. They roast their own coffee beans and the coffee was delicious. Cool little neighborhood shop with several locals stopping by. This place is family friendly and has a couple outside tables. Such a cool place. Definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

    Chicken & Waffle

    Stumbled upon this gem randomly. Bc the original breakfast spot I was planing on going for my weekend trip wasn't open yet. And glad it wasn't ,bc BVC was amazing. Food was great, Coffee was great and the Service was great. The food was just perfect sized for the price and delicious.

    BV latte
    Danilda S.

    Quiet, we had a great time celebrating a birthdayna Friday Morning. Their specialty drinks were full of flavor and the food was just as good, everyone in the group was raving about their drinks. I tried the BV latte and the Chai , both were great. The avocado toast was amazing a must try. The b'day girl received a free drink, that was super nice of the staff.I'm waiting for the next visit to try something else.

    Boba gives this place 5 PAWS!!

    I wish this place had longer hours! Gem of a cafe in Newburgh.. the food is absolutely delicious, with vegetarian options that don't feel like an afterthought, breakfast here is scrumptious! Sitting at one of their rustic picnic tables with my dog, stuffing my face with a portobello BLT -- they even roasted up some chicken breast for Boba, who enthusiastically rates this place 5 PAWS!

    Shrimp and grits

    Food was good. Service was amazing. Great atmosphere great vibes. I highly recommend.

    Perfectly balanced pomegranate lemonade.
    Gloria A.

    Only fantastic biscuit in town. Everything was great as was the staff. We had the egg and sausage biscuit sandwich and house breakfast sandwich. There is a genius behind their mix of drinks-- for example the lemonade pomegranate drink and the house latte. espresso/ chocolate mocha/ white mocha. Sweet but balanced. Nicely decorated--- trendy couch small lounge area with surrounding tables. And modern art by black artists. Go here!

    Matcha latte
    Veronica M.

    Such a local love you can see that the community really supports this location. But that being said they are very welcoming to visitors and first timers. I've been twice and have enjoyed the regular latter and the matcha latte. The girls I was with both got bagel sandwiches and said they were very good

    Shrimp and grits - with a few bites already gone ;) very good!!
    Tasha B.

    Super impressed with Blacc Vanilla Cafe! Stopped in yesterday for a coffee, chia and a corn muffin, and saw the rest of their menu so decided we had to come back today for breakfast and I'm glad we did! The service was great and everything was delicious! I got the shrimp and grits and was not disappointed!! Next I want to try their Buffalo Mac and cheese! All the food I saw at other tables looked amazing too! This is a great local find!

You walk in the atmosphere is so cool. I have never been to Nashville, but from what I've seen on TV, this kind of reminded me of being in Nashville for a moment there is a stage set as there is live music at times not sure what days they are while you eat and then there's a comedy club upstairs. We went to see one funny Lisa Marie she was great. The drinks were good as well. The service was good when we sat down downstairs but when we got to the comedy club, it's gets a little hectic because I feel like there's too many people and I feel like you would need to hire maybe two or three waitresses as there was an issue at my table they put in an order for their food and before the show was ending, the food finally came out and it was burnt, but they did make it up with them by basically not charging them for the food. The people were very dissatisfied as they walked out after they paid the bill. Didn't even get a chance to finish the show so that's where I would say improvements need to be done as far as service four big events on the second floor, just a suggestion

My Dad was chomping at the fucking.bit to hear some jazz tonight and as a result, we found out about this place. One of my favorite things about visiting nOLA is the jazz and I almost feel like it's the twilight zone that i can have the live Jazz experience in my home town. Not only that, but everything about our experience, start to finish, was amazing. They enticed us with the live jazz outside..As all of their tables were taken up, our initial strategy was to sit at the bar and hopefully be able to hear the music from inside. Not only did they have a whole band INSIDE the bar playing for those patrons, but we were given the choice of them literally building us a table outside. You can't really go wrong with either choice but due to the absolutely perfect weather outside and my mother's panic phobia about covid, we elected to sit outside. They straight up brought a table and four chairs outside for us to enjoy the band playing outside. The temperate fall air and lively Jazz is an ambiance that is few and far between. We had initially planned on just ordering drinks but were selling what we were buying and dropped a few food menus and had us eating out of their hand. They legit had MOZARELLA FRIED ZUCCHINI B LOSSOMS, some delicious vegetarian ravioli, arancini, and honestly whether you're into steak or farro and kale salad, they can push your.buttons, Both of my parents ordered a spring-roll-like appetizer, one with salmon and one with veggies (extra brownie points for the vegetarian option). My parents some how missed the fact that they were ordering from the appetizer menu and were disappointed in the portion size but absolutely adored the dish. . Even though I talk up and down for about 99% of the time about the fact that I'm "on a diet now" I'm actually full of shit when it comes down to the wire and I absolutely could not resist ordering their fried mozzarella zucchini blossoms which were enveloped in a delicate but delicious outer crust with creamy cheese and zucchini blososms. They were served with an orgasmic tomato sauce with a little touch of pesto. The food was the perfect complement to the musi. They have an interesting cocktail menu as well. I couldn't resist ordering their Frenesi with tequila, lemon juice, cinnamon syrup, apple bitters, hard cider. This was served in a cocktail glass with little floating (what I'm assuming is cinnamon fits that almost looked to be sparkles. It was such a beautiful drink and had such a unique flavor. GF initially ordered the All That Jazz with rye, calvados, Demerara syrup, peychaud's bitters,, ango bitters, and up in smoke however we were informed that they did not have all ingredients to make this drink. She went with her second choice, the Jam Session with bourbon, lemon, stone fruit syrup, peychaud's orange peel, Brandie's cherry. I tried this and as a strong bourbon drink, wasn't my immature palate's favorite but I appreciated the combo of bourbon and fruit flavor. Our server was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was as excellent as it could possibly be. My Mom was literally obsessed with him and couldn't stop commenting on how well he was taking care of us. Huge shout out to that man right there. I'm so excited that this place exists and GF and I have already decided to keep the local taxi on speed dial for further visits to this place. PS-sorry if this is filled with typos but I was literally too lazy to wear glasses while writing this so I am just typing and hoping for the best.

Great concert but I had to leave for a few in middle to get a fan because I thought l was going to pass out. Bathroom design from the 80s I guess, huge bathroom with many stalls for men and 1 man in there and women's bathroom smaller only a few stalls and a line of 30 women like why can't they redesign this? One small heat pump a/c hanging on the wall in back of the theater with hundreds of people crammed in soaking wet with sweat. It's great beyond that but it's like they're practicing to be a theater.

There's a Mexican restaurant and Tavern right next door, which are nice amenities. There was also plenty of parking and the outside was well lit. The Theater itself felt brand new. It was super modern and clean. There was a small bar with various drinks. As far as food, I only saw candy and chips listed. Water was also $4 and came in an environmentally friendly bottle. Bathrooms were downstairs, which wasn't an issue for me but could be for someone with limited mobility. If you have limited mobility and plan on visiting, I would call to ensure the restrooms can be accessed. The room where the musicians perform is large and there is a small seating area upstairs, which is a different, more expensive ticket. I did see about 5 or 6 stools downstairs for those who need to sit. Unfortunately, the main act was unable to perform but the theater did send out an email several hours before the show started to let guests know their options so that was appreciated. Overall, it's a really nice venue for a show!
