The Black Mountain Cafe is found in the Spanish Village plaza. This is another popular hangout for local and others. No one was using the plaza area. Everyone seemed to want the air conditioning seating. Two rooms of seating for customers. I was yearning a treat and saw the raspberry muffin calling my name. That was the choice for today. The muffin was fresh, soft and chock full of berries. There was a berry taste in each bite. Excellent muffin! Free street parking and WiFi. read more

I genuinely hate to write bad reviews. But as I am sitting here paying a $400 hospital bill, I feel the review is necessary. My family and I were visiting from out of town. My son has a severe gluten allergy and we came here as I saw they had gluten free pancakes. I informed the waitress of my son's allergy when we placed our order, and confirmed that his pancakes were gluten free when they were brought to our table. Being a normal 5 year old who loves pancakes, my baby enjoyed his breakfast... only to begin coughing intensely and then breaking out into severe hives (and panicking) shortly thereafter. By God's grace, we had his epi Pen nearby. We still ended up in the ER as his breathing was impacted in addition to the hives (thankfully the epi pen helped but he still had to receive treatment and be monitored). All of this was due to pancakes that we were told were gluten free. While my husband and I rushed our son to the hospital, my father who is a local resident, spoke with management. They comped our meal, which was kind. But this truly could have been a life or death situation. read more

Review for the bar, yup folks, BAR! Happened to be walking around the Sundail area at night and saw heard live music and surprised to see the coffee shop, expanded out to a full bar with food. Prices were, not cave creek. Happy Groovy Hour, 3-6pm... includes $4 drafts, $5 wines. The bar is huge, theres a lot of choice for drink, draft, beers, wine and food too. The buffalo wings smelt amazing when i walked in. Although both businesses are together, the bar area is decorated completely different and very comfortable to sit in, in a cold raining night. That night, 2 guitarists were giving a great performance, not too loud for a small venue, they took requests and played really well. I was served as soon as I sat at the bar, I could only stop for 15 mins that night and the bar tender understood and quickly severed me a couple of drinks with rhe check as requested Definitely worth heading out and checking out the café, now at night read more

Decided to treat myself to a solo breakfast out since I was in the area. Super cute diner with a great patio with lots of seating. Friendly hostess and staff, quick to take my order and food came out fast. It was busy for a Monday morning! I ordered the Migas and it was tasty! The salsa was delicious and fresh. I loved the corn tortilla strips in every bite. Wish the black beans were seasoned but they were served hot. I'd definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

Stopped in for the live band. It was hard to figure out if it was open seating or not, but after awhile we were able to get someone to verify. We took a cozy table outside near the back by an outside heater which was nice because I forgot my jacket and it was a bit chilly outside. Our waiter was quick to deliver our order which was just drinks and fries. He checked on us an appropriate amount of times making sure we were alright. We had a great time. read more

Thanks BMC for always taking care of dad. This is by far his fave cave creek breakfast spot. Fruit cup, and two eggs over easy, bacon, hash browns and toast. Coffee with one Splenda, theee sugars and a boat load of creamer. Always get it right here. Special thanks to Laura and Raina and the other amazing staff members whose names escape me. Friendly and always right on time with dad's fruit cup. Grateful. We will be back. read more

INCREDIBLE! In my 62 years I have eaten out often in 22 states and 17 countries. Never had what happened today at Black Mountain happened. And what happened was really bad! My party of four and a lsweet and quiet less than 2 week old baby were THROWN OUT! Why? After waiting literally for OVER HOUR at our table to have our order taken we were told that the place was closing so we had to LEAVE! This was at 12:05 p.m. on a Monday. Again, INCREDIBLE! read more

My husband and I heard the most incredible music from across the parking lot. We were heading to Keelers Steakhouse but decided to go to Black Mountain Cafe instead. There was a group of musicians just having such a good time, just playing acoustic guitars. The music was spectacular and the musicians so friendly. We ordered dinner, sliders and two salads, so good. The waiter, Connor (also a bartender), was so funny, courteous, and attentive. We had several cocktails and the price was incredibly reasonable! We will definitely come back. What a fun place! read more

Went REALLY early for Happy Hour (4PM). We were the only ones there..... Got personalized attention of course. The Drinks were OK, but we had send the Margarita back and it was MUCH better the second try. I ordered a Burger with Onion rings, which were not an upgrade which is unusual, but it came out a 'few' onion rings and the rest waffle fries as they ran out(?). I do NOT eat potato fries. So after I mentioned that, they brought me Sweet Potato fries, which I do like...... They are trying hard and made it right. They are kinda new for dinner and trying hard, and they have live music some nights, so we will give them a try again!! read more

We decided to try Black Mountain cafe for breakfast. The patio is nice. We had the breakfast tacos. They had very little flavor. The pancakes were tough. We probably won't be back read more

Once again it doesn't disappoint! Service was great and they got the kids food out super quick. Adults went with the eggs Benedict and avocado toast. Both were good. If you're looking for a low key breakfast spot on a weekend, it's worth the drive from Scottsdale! read more

Black mountain cafe is always a good choice for a brunch. My husband, MIL, and I came for brunch after Pat's run for some grub. It was a bit confusing with the outdoor seating because it's first come first serve but no one is really directing and we seemed to go during a rush. I'd recommend still having the hostesses direct people where to sit especially on the weekends during busy times. I ordered the breakfast burrito, my brunch go to. It was delicious and filling. The salsa also added some needed freshness. Next time I'll probably order hashbrowns instead of the home fries but the peppers and onions were good. My husband had pancakes and it was the perfect carbo loading for him. My MIL ordered the avocado toast and hashbrowns with her egg scrambled - it also looked delicious! We'll definitely be back! read more

We really wanted to live this place. Scenery is great. Cute little town. Service was fine. But both my and my wife's breakfasts were the worst we have ever had. Pancakes tasted terrible.

I have dined here twice and it was as good as I remember it to be. The protein bowl with sausage was delish. They don't skimp on refills of their ice teas and coffee. Love the outdoor seating and ambiance. I have heard the cinnamon roll is a must for those who love sweets. It is definitely busy here so be patient with the servers! read more

We stopped here for a quick afternoon refresher, which turned into a not so quick one, but I'm not complaining. What a beautiful day and a quaint adorable setting. We just had a couple cold drinks and an order of sweet potato fries but it was awesome. Super nice people and delicious fries. read more

Food was excellent, they were out of certain items but they still did a great job with our order. Also those biscuits are top tier.

I went for a breakfast date with a good friend. I didn't pay much attention to the menu prices because we were chatting. I ordered a bowl of oatmeal with a side of bacon and my friend ordered a sandwich. We each also got a soda (they come in cans which I'll never understand in a restaurant setting). The service was decent, the food was ok - not bad but definitely nothing to write home about. The bill came and they use those mobile kiosks to allow you to pay. I didn't bother to look at the bill because [again] we were chatting. I clicked the 20% tip button and went on my way. My mistake not asking for a receipt. Somehow the food I mentioned above, was nearly $70 with tip. Ugh. Won't go back for that price. read more

Every place we wanted to go for brunch in cave creek was packed, but luckily we found this spot! We'd been in this area before but never dined here. We were seated right away and they made sure we had room for my son's stroller. The service was excellent. Everyone is super friendly here and attentive! 5 stars for service for sure. I got a cold brew with pumpkin spice, it was a giant glass of cold brew, I def had to bring some home haha. My husband got eggs, bacon, and hash browns, and I got huevos rancheros with potatoes instead of eggs. Our food was ready fast! My husband's portion was on the smaller side but good! Mine was not bad the potatoes were delicious and I liked the salsa but thought it was odd the black beans were served on the side with unmelted shredded cheese. I think it would be better if they got rid of the side of tortillas and instead had more of the crunchy tostada layered with the black beans and cheese melted. But not bad at all! The patio is cute too, perfect for a fall day, but we did sit inside because only seats in the sun were available! Also there's 15% off for the yelp check in but we forgot to use it! We will next time when we come to try the cinnamon roll! read more

I'll round up for two reasons - apple butter(!) and good biscuit. I got the homestyle breakfast with two poached eggs, home fries, biscuit and bacon, with a cup of gravy on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the home fries were good. The bacon was not crispy even though I had requested it as such. The biscuit was good - especially with the apple butter - but honestly the gravy was a letdown (and I found on the receipt it was $3!). Service was really slow (I sat outside). read more

We made the BIG mistake of coming here for a birthday party. First they gave our reserved table away even though we showed up 15 minutes early. It looked like they got a larger group than ours, so they just gave the table away. Then they stuck us by the front cash register, the front door and the coffee bar that had a loud coffee grinder. But the worst part was being told the food would take a half hour - - -when they knew it would really be AN HOUR AND 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE FOOD WAS READY. We were starving. When we asked how much longer it would be, instead of offering us some pasteries they had, they kept saying 10 to 15 more minutes. So we sat for almost 2 hours with people coming and out the bumped into our chairs, and with cold air coming in when the door was opened. Their coffee grinder was next to our table I looked around and saw a lot of other people who didn't have their food but had also been there a long time. I finally left but my friends stayed. When we talked to the manager or owner she was rude to us, and acted like we should be more patient! Also I looked up the reviews around the time we went and there were also bad reveiws. I will NEVER go back. read more

We planned to visit another coffee shop but it was closed so thankfully this was nearby. I'm glad we came here; it's cute and we had a nice breakfast. Plenty of spots inside and on the patio but since it was a hot day, we chose to sit indoors. For drinks, I got an iced tea (their seasonal, a prickly pear green tea) and my friend got an iced latte. Love that they are served in large mason jars! For food, I ordered their French toast and my friend got their cinnamon roll. We received our plates fairly quickly and enjoyed our choices. The French Toast was three pieces, so cut in half it was six and I did not finish them but they were good! Our waitress was kind enough to give us to go cups, and filled mine with fresh iced tea which was very thoughtful. Prices were fair and this was a great spot for breakfast! They've also got lunch options and 15% off your meal if you check in on Yelp. I forgot about this cuz I checked out but be sure to use it if you come here! I'll have to come back. read more

Man.... I struggle leaving bad reviews. I love supporting local small business and I know how hard it is to do it. But this was probably the worst, most expensive breakfast we have had in the year we have lived in Arizona. I really would not recommend this place unless massive changes are made. The coffee was good, but that's about it. My one child ordered pancakes and they were so dry if you tried to fold it in half it cracked like cardboard. My other child asked if she could have the steak and eggs which she never orders but we said what the heck and let her get it. The steak was probably about 4 or 6 oz. We asked for medium, it was super well done. Zero red on the inside and tough. Her scrambled eggs were soft and runny. The hash browns were good but probably only about two table spoons worth. I ordered their "grubstake". The chicken fried steak actually tasted pretty good. Again the hash brown portion was paltry - almost like it was deliberately measured out to be about two table spoons serving. I asked for my eggs poached - they came out soft boiled. My wife ordered their cinnamon roll. It was probably the best thing we ordered - the icing was super sweet to the point that my teeth ached while eating it but if you are into that sort of thing I would say go for it. The service was honestly not good at all. We sat outside and it felt like our waitress was hiding inside the whole time. I need to go inside three times to find her - first to ask if I could have the eggs remade, second to ask for to go cups for the coffee, and third to get the check. In the end, with tip, it was a $125 breakfast. Too much money and the quality just really isn't there. Maybe it's a new cook, new staff, or an off day. Regardless, not coming back. read more

Stopped in for breakfast while staying in the area. The food was tasty. I got the 1,2,3 and my husband got the homestyle breakfast. Love that they have gluten free options for pancakes, waffles, and French toast. I got a GF pancake with my breakfast and it didn't disappoint. read more
