This week friends took me to the Black Butterfly for brunch. I was blown out of the water. Service was top notch. The decor was amazing! Highly recommend the deviled eggs. Flavor outstanding and the presentation was first class all the way. Also had their fruit bubble waffle. I had never seen this presentation and I fell in love with it. read more

We recently visited for a ladies' luncheon to celebrate a friend's 89th birthday. In the past, the food has always been excellent--service could be a bit slow, but the quality made it worthwhile. This time, however, the experience was very disappointing. After our group of ten finished lunch, we brought out a birthday cake to celebrate. The owner came out abruptly and told us we were not allowed to have the cake. Unfortunately, the way this was handled felt rude and unprofessional, especially given the occasion and the fact that we had just spent a significant amount on our meal. It was an upsetting end to what should have been a special celebration, and as a result, they've likely lost ten longtime customers. read more

Service was LOUSY. Only one server on duty that doubled as the barista. Took our drink order. Did not offer water. Friend tried to order a pot of tea. They did not have the type of tea she ordered. She ordered any flavor tea, they only had one tea bag - not enough to make a pot of tea and it was a cheap brand. Brought her tea in a cup, which was too hot to drink from and the tea was lukewarm. Didn't bring a spoon. Didn't offer milk, lemon or sweetener. No set up for the table, knife, fork spoon napkin. I ordered a latte. And it was as if she forgot it and when I asked, she said the milk had to cool down.?!?!!! Never offered or brought water. When asked about the menu certain items were not available. Other ones we were told were premade even though it says it's a scratch kitchen. After we seated, a lady brought her very boisterous and loud kids in without shoes. Lady, sitting behind us, had her cell phone on loud and proceeded to have a very loud conversation with her husband which completely ruined the atmosphere of the place Ended up canceling our food order and leaving Would not recommend. Was all around bad experience. read more

I made a reservation on a Saturday to celebrate my birthday on Sunday and received an email confirmation. When I got there, they told me they couldn't see my reservation and that the kitchen was backed up. They didn't even give me the option to wait - no attempt to accommodate us at all. I always try to support local businesses - v disappointing read more

A delicious and visually beautiful small cafe - almost like an English tea shoppe. Interesting menu, and we tried the quiche (sorry, no pix - we ate it too quickly!) and a flatbread with prosciutto and a grilled chicken sandwich with avocado and chutney - all delicious! The staff were welcoming and the owner/chef delivered the meal herself. There are a small number of tables and a counter with stools, so I can imagine it's crowded at times - or it will be as word gets out. A lovely respite after Christmas shopping in NSB. read more

Seen some buzz about this local restaurant and wanted to give it a try. We stepped in and were greeted pretty quickly, asked to sit up at the bar seating. We took a seat and were given drink menus right away. I ordered a warm latte with Cinnamon Toast Crunch topping which came out looking drool worthy. We put in our food order as the drinks were served. We both decided to try the Puffy Pockets, as we were hungry and wanted to try the mix and match. So I ordered the Chicken/Spinach/Garlic, along with the Guava/Brie. Friend ordered the Asparagus/Prosciutto and the Chicken/Lemon caper. Given that everything is made to order here, I thought that the food came out quicker than I expected. From the first bite, the puff pastry was delectable. Service was attentive, ambiance was enjoyable. I will be back for more delicious food and coffee. Hoping this place sticks around, support local! read more

Sad and extremely disappointed. If you want to support this business you won't be disappointed with the food. Honestly it was one of the best places to eat. Quality food. Decent price . My husband and I spend over $100 with the tip each time we ate here. The person I am assuming is the owner of the place is why we will no longer be coming as the attitude. I was eating with my family who has an autistic grandson with his service dog. We have been seated before in the carpeted area before so it was disappointing to see how another person with a disability and service dog was treated today. We were seated up front on tiled floor. I never thought about until another patron with service dog came to eat also. The patron was young and NEVER rude nor raised her voice. Not once. She was offered to sit (no table) in the seats in front. The young lady spoke of the law in a calm voice. The owner stated she was being rude and refused service because of this. Just WOW. The disabled young lady even stated what her dog was trained for but because owner was ignorant of laws the customer left. Very sad. She severed argued at all. I have video of the situation. Not posting but do have evidence if needed. Yes reporting to ADA department. Hopefully they will educate the owner. Sad but they lost my business and I will spend my money elsewhere. They don't deserve anyone to eat there because of attitude. read more

Very rude owner. I will never go back nor will the other nine ladies that were with me. Her wait staff knew we brought in a birthday cake, as we were cutting it, she came out of the kitchen, scolded us like we were five year olds, and then charged us $15 for the cake. read more

Such a cute spot, delicious food and drinks and a really expansive menu! We stopped in for a coffee and will definitely be back for lunch. All their food looked fantastic. I was only going to get a regular coffee but it was 41° out and the campfire latte was calling my name. Daughter got the white chocolate cherry frappe and we split a stuffed croissant. The croissant was absolutely delicious but massive. Even with 2 people we could only eat half. Can't wait to come back ! read more

This place is great! We were in town for a few days and went twice for breakfast to get the bacon quiche with leeks. She bakes it fresh every day is what the waitress told us. Also the garlic potatoes with truffle sauce was delicious. The coffee was fresh, everything was great and fresh and we highly recommend it. Friendly staff and really cute atmosphere. read more

Took an hour and a half for a table of 3 in an empty restaurant. We ordered an omelet, a kids egg plate, and toast. No seasoning on the potatoes, or anything else for that matter. No beef in the $18 beef omelette. The walls are peeling. Absolutely unacceptable service. For them to call themselves a scratch kitchen is unbelievable. When we shared that the omelette had no seasoning or meat on it, they did not offer a replacement and refused to comp it. If you dine here, know you're committing to bad food. Not recommended. If I could give negative stars I would. Save your time and your money anywhere else. read more

food was inferior and service was worse. we were the only people in the restaurant and it still took forever, and the little waitress was clueless read more

Very cute spot; we wanted a light lunch after a long bike ride. Found the restaurant on Yelp. We were very casually dressed but greeted and seated immediately. Our server was extremely attentive and helpful. Husband had sunshine sandwich and I ordered spicy chicken flatbread. Both were very tasty with wonderful blend of flavors and textures with a nice presentation. Delicious! Décor a bit overdone but everything else top notch and well priced. We'll be back! read more

What a lovely hidden gem! Delighted to find a place that sources local fresh ingredients- and house made everything! Delicious! The service and atmosphere was also a positive experience. We are going to become regulars for sure! read more

Black Butterfly - Chicken and bubble waffle with the most amazing slightly spicy syrup. Delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Smyrna Beach, Florida

Loved this place! When we're traveling we make a point to try out local coffee shops and restaurants. We were exploring New Smyrna for the first time and decided to stop at Black Butterfly for a quick coffee. We were pleasantly surprised to find an adorable sit-down cafe with a creative and unique menu. We were immediately drawn to the stuff croissants and decided we needed to sit and order one to go with our coffee rather than grabbing something to go. We got the guava cream stuffed croissant, and it was phenomenal! In addition to great food options, the owner and her niece (our server) were incredibly helpful and friendly, spending time to talk with us, answering our questions about local sights to explore and offering many helpful suggestions. It was like we were talking with friends. I'm so glad we decided to stop at the Black Butterfly and definitely recommend. read more

Be sure to notice the front page where it says "prices subject to change." The owner could care less if you return. She's overworked and tired. Very disappointing experience. read more

Treat yourself to some coffee and tapas at this adorable café and you won't be sorry! We heard the owner has traveled around the world with her husband in the military and she is a chef who puts so much love into her food. We live in Saint Augustine, but we'll be back anytime we're headed south don't let the strip mall fool you bon appétit! read more

This is one of the best restaurants I have eaten in ...ever! You must try a little of everything and share. The tacos were outstanding, full of ground beef and so flavorful. Try the Lucy flatbread with pear and prosciutto. It is so unique. Best of all is the hot chocolate lava cake. Omg! I'm hooked!!! read more

Stopped in after seeing good reviews. What a nice, cozy atmosphere. Whether it's coffee or drinks it's a nice vibe. Great menu with different offerings for breakfast or lunch/dinner. Loved the smashburger and the puffy lunch pastries were excellent. Will be going back for drinks. read more

Had a wonderful evening in this sweet little back room. They have tapas and wine. Wonderful service. And good wines. I do have several suggestions number 1). more descriptive menu so I don't have to keep asking the lovely waitress to describe the dish, 2) more comfortable chairs where we sat the cushion was a little too thin, and I could feel the bars on the chair. 3) pipe in some nice music in the back, to combat the kitchen noise. I highly recommend the bruschetta dip, the baby shark Coudry, and the English pub pie. Also, we took a couple of stuffed croissants to take home for later!! Five star review read more

The food was great! Their waffles and sandwiches are great. The Ambiance is pretty sweet too!

First time visiting Black Butterfly today. Loved the experience. The menu was unique and thorough with lots of choices for even the pickiest eater. To start, I chose the iced campfire cozy coffee and my husband picked the dark chocolate chip frappe. OMG - make me another! The hubs had two of the puffy pickets - one with chicken and one with 3 meats. I had the 5am avo toast which was great. I would recommend trying this place. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was friendly. Looking forward to going back to try lunch or maybe an afternoon cocktail. read more

Very creative decor in this quaint little restaurant that kept me looking around. Sooooo many delicious sounding food options that you can't find at other restaurants. I wanted to try a little of everything! I ordered a chicken sandwich with lots of toppings. It was good but not as flavorful as I was expecting based on the description. Next time I will try something else. Overall, great service and we will be back! read more

If you, like me, found this place by searching for "coffee shops", I think that's a little misleading as this is definitely more of a sit-down cafe, but that's on me for not looking into it more. I was just looking for a place to knock out some school work on a Saturday and this was definitely not it, but I'm here and I'm hungry so I stay. The employees seemed as confused as I was by my presence when I said I was going to stay, but sat me anyway, right by the kitchen, where I could hear them talking about me. Anyway, I got the rustic sandwich (no prosciutto) and a dirty chai latte. Neither of which were amazing or terrible, but definitely pretty pricey for what I got. All around, a thoroughly mediocre experience read more
