    So good I went twice on my 2.5 day trip to New Buffalo. I got a donut, quiche, and cold brew the first day and just a donut the second day. Everything was delicious. Go early to get a better selection, as pickings were slim the first day (a Thursday) when I got there around 11:30am. Also expect to wait in a line - Friday morning around 9am I waited for 25ish minutes. Staff is friendly and efficient. There are a few tables inside but I ate my stuff outside. Will be returning the next time I'm in the area!

    Our cake was stunning! The cake and cupcakes were delivered flawlessly. Thank you for making our special day truly unforgettable!

    I stayed in New Buffalo for the weekend and ventured out to find breakfast in town each morning. I am so happy I found Black Currant Bakehouse! Their bakery offerings were delicious and I visited all three mornings that I was in the area. Their menu was large and had variety, so I believed I tried something new each morning. I loved their fall menu and their donuts! The flavors were very unique and delicious! I live in Chicago and brought an Apple Butter Danish back for a friend that was visiting. The service was great and I told the owner how much I enjoyed his bakery. It was also decorated for Halloween when I was visiting, so I loved how festive it was. Next time I am in the area, I hope to return!

    I love the donuts here so much, better than any other place in the area. The texture is so amazing, soft and pillowy. Like the chewy texture of mochi donuts, if you are into that. The little brownies are fudgy, very good. I liked the wedding cake latte. As someone who loves sugar, the apricot filling in the jelly donut was veryyy sweet. The cherry almond muffin was a bit bland. Blueberry thumbprint was just ok. Service is friendly.

    Today's special drinks

    My daughter and I came here because we wanted to go to the deli next-door. When we saw the line out the door for the bakery, we decided to check it out. I'm so glad we did! Oh my goodness! This place has the most delectable cakes, and their drinks are so whimsical and perfectly balanced. We both decided that this was a place that we had to come back to!

    The quality of the pastries and coffee are top notch. We wandered in, on our way to another business. The room was bright and refreshing. Big windows allowed a ton of natural sunlight in, warming the room perfectly. The choices of pastries were endless. Unique flavor combinations and classics were all very tasty. The young lady behind the counter assisting us was very sweet. She had a big smile and a positive attitude. I'm sure she is used to people oooh-ing and ahh-ing all over the pretty pastry case. The coffee creations took a while. I guess it takes time to prepare perfection. Our beverages were rich and smooth. Delicious! Overall, everything was wonderful, and I will definitely return on my next visit to New Buffalo.

    Hubby and I were passing through on a road trip. We stopped at Black Currant Bakehouse for donuts but they were out by the time we arrived. We decided to try the Lemon Cornmeal Cookie and the Sprinkle Sugar Cookie. They were both AMAZING!! Some of the BEST bakery cookies we've ever had. Good taste and texture! Black Currant Bakehouse is cute with friendly staff. The prices are affordable, and they have a pretty large bakery menu, as well as sandwiches. We highly recommend this bakehouse and if we're ever in the area again we will definitely be stopping in again.

    The best Jerry, the best! Cinnamon roll perfection. Libras like all things in balance, and Black Currant nails the proportions of dough, cinnamon sugar and icing. And to the genius that decided we needed a larger sized cinnamon roll-take a bow. Never knew I needed it, but I'll start with two of those. Throw in an apple fritter and a few donuts and we're on our way for a delightful walk through Union Pier to our rental with treats for the mornings. This outstanding Bakehouse is part of every visit here.

    Amazing little bakery off the beaten of new Buffalo. If they have apple fritters get them 10/10

    Second time here and it gets better and better! Black Currant Bake House is a quaint little coffe, tea and pasty shop, with some tasty goodies. My go to is the Chai Tea, which they seem to make perfectly! In addition the I love their cinnamon rolls and I decided to pick up 2 vanilla sprinkle donuts! On their menu you're able to get scones, muffins, bagels, sandwiches and much more! The best part of coming here imo is the staff are truly great. They're laughing, smiling and will start a conversation with you. They truly seem happy to be working here and it shows. You'll be lucky if you get half a smile at Starbucks. They're tons of items I'd like to try on my next go round the next time I'm in the area as I hope this place keeps doing what they're doing!

    Is this place study/work friendly?

    No. There is a small seating area; however, the coffee shop is very crowded and there are typically lots of excited little kids in line with their parents choosing donuts.

    Do you make wedding cakes?

    Yes we do, information can be found on our webpage.

    Are any of the donuts vegan?

    No, the donuts are not vegan. We do have many other options that are vegan however.

I really enjoyed my lox bagel and thought it was one of the best I've had!! The flavors were nicely balanced with the onion, capers, cream cheese and lox. I was able to eat it easily and get a little piece of everything in each bite. The bagels seem smaller than average, but who needs giant bagels anyway? I found these to be reasonably sized. Big overstuffed bagels that fall apart while you eat them - lox sliding all over the place - are really annoying. These were satisfying without making you feel gross after. The coffee selection exceeded our expectations. We shared a chemex for 2. They had a few single origin coffees to choose from and we had their pink bourbon Columbian. We enjoyed our coffee and bagels outside in their seating area and this was once of my favorite parts of our trip! We didn't have to wait too long, but as we were finishing, a long line was forming down the block. Consider getting there a little early!

When entering the restaurant we were immediately greeted by staff and were advised to grab a menu from the nearby wall. Orders are placed at the counter, food and coffee. They also provide an estimate on wait-time for coffee and food based on level of orders currently placed. We were given a buzzer and advised that our name would be called for both coffee and food. The bourbon vanilla Madagascar latte was delicious, I loved that the coffee flavor was not overpowered by homemade coffee syrup. The paninis were delicious and very filling!

We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! 10/10--worth the drive from Chicago!
