We tried this place a few weeks ago and was so pleased with the service! The coffee was delicious and there are so many choices!

While making our way through the state of Ga, we woke up mid-morning in Macon! Nothing close to our hotel was calling our name.... So we hit the road searching for a local establishment! The internet led us to Black Rose Cafe & Bakehouse. It sounded like the perfect place for us based on the menu & time of day. There was a variety of options to choose from, lunch, breakfast, bakery, soups.... Even tacos if we wanted. There were far too few parking places to be seen ANYWHERE around the strip mall! This made it hard for a quick walk in the rain. Nothing the restaurant could do about that... but was the start to our less than perfect experience. Once inside, there were several open tables and a sign reading 'please wait to be seated.' Some we waited -- only to be told 'you can sit anywhere you'd like.' So which is it, wait or seat yourself ‍? Our drink order was taken quickly and then the waitress practically hounded us (came back to the table 3 times in about 3 minutes) to take our order. I eventually said 'FINE, I'll just have scrambled egg-whites only, toast (with butter,) & bacon! I literally had the conversation with the waitress about whether the kitchen should put my butter on the toast or have her bring it to me at the table. I also asked for 'super EXTRA-CRISPY' bacon.... Like charcoal burnt, lol! When the plates were delivered the bacon was NOT cooked correctly, the eggs STILL had the yolks in them & weren't scrambled, and the toast had NO butter nor was it brought to the table. When Kaylee, the waitress, returned to the table we were NOT offered refills on our drinks or the option to purchase another (they came in cans) and when questioned about the butter her response was 'oh yeah, we ran outta butter.' How does a restaurant (a bakery, mind you) run out of butter? Absolutely IMPOSSIBLE! Was NOT a good first impression! It is HIGHLY unlikely that we will ever return! read more

Nice little lunch spot with good lunch deals and nice service. Stopped in for lunch on a Friday and other than a pretty comprehensive menu they also have a nice lunch menu with items under $10. We enjoyed our chimichanga and Juanita's vegetarian tacos stuffed with lots of good veggies. Chips and salsa served before the meal and tasty salsa. $ read more

If you like spicy food then you will enjoy black rose. Every time we go, we get excellent service. They have a full bar and a full coffee set up. You can get any kind of coffee you may need and I think it's all fairly priced. My wife is a picky eater and she enjoys her food. If you go around 10am it's usually pretty empty and you can have a nice quiet breakfast with work laptop. You can park in the back and walk through the back door or park across the street by the train tracks. Parking is free but it can the hard to find a spot in the front during busy times and most people don't know that locust grove has free parking around the square. read more

I'm giving a 4 star because my plate was disappointing but my son said his was amazing. He ordered The Supreme burrito, while I ordered the Bom which is one of their traditional breakfast options with a combination of ham, bacon, potatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno, pico de garlic and pepper jack cheese. Mine was bland and was missing 3 of the ingredients. It was not spicy at all. My salad was drenched in balsamic which messed up the taste. I recommend you ask for dressings on the side. On a positive my cafe latte was perfect, so was Alexander's Earl grey tea. The interior was clean, spacious, well decorated for Halloween Service was excellent I recommend read more

Excellent! Chicken seasoned very well. Loaded with veggies, rice, cheese in a taco bowl. They need better forks tho. They are very flimsy. Other than that whewwww! read more

Wonderful Mexican food great employees!!! this is the second time we've been here and we intend to make a regular!

2/10 I love that it's in the neighborhood but it's super expensive for just about anything here.

This a great place to have brunch when shopping at Tanger Outlets! I'm not sure how we came across it, but it's become a place we frequent now. The cafe is nice and never too busy. The best part is the drinks. There is something nostalgic about drinking coffee from a mug that makes it taste so much better! We have not tried their lunch, alcoholic drinks, or dinner yet but we will soon. The staff is kind, the food is great, and the prices are amazing!! read more

2nd review Our first visits were for breakfast. We started coming for lunch and dinner. #delish I crave their black beans. And the margaritas are so good - fresh lime, agave and good tequila. They prove simple, quality ingredients and excellent technique are all you need. Yum. read more

The food was good but it didn't want me to come here repeatedly. Server was overwhelmed because of the growing crowd in the morning. She handle it well. I'm going to give them another try. read more

Chef's kiss on every thing I ate. The food was delicious and so flavorful. I ordered a steak burrito---soooo good. My daughter had chicken and waffles which was just scrumptious. All the good food, extensive menu, and delightful service, I'll definitely be going back. read more

We stopped by here on a Saturday morning. Perusing the menu gave us sticker shock. By far one of the most expensive places for breakfast in the area. I ordered the avo toast ($10) with a side of their potatoes. It was supposed to be on artisanal bread with special diced red potatoes. Instead I got plain Texas toast and potatoes you can get in the frozen section of your local supermarket. What's artisanal about Texas toast?! The other breakfast platters ranged from 15 to 20 dollars. Also a slice of cheesecake was $12. Overall underwhelming. read more

Didn't order any food, will on my next trip back here! The ambiance was beautiful, not too crowded! Met a friend here to celebrate our Birthdays! We both ordered a cocktail, I ordered the cosmo cancan, so good and my friend ordered a margarita, the were lit! Ariana was our server/bartender so friendly and attentive! Free parking in the back and across the street, we definitely be back to indulge in some of their cuisine! read more

The food is usually really good, and I always enjoy their coffee. We've been here three times, it's not too far from the outlets so it's an easy breakfast or brunch spot to visit on each trip. I always get the huevos rancheros and a chai latte. The last time we visited the food was a bit salty, but still a nice restaurant I would recommend to everyone read more

The food is why my family came here. We saw reviews so had to check it out. OUTSTANDING. Server was attentive, quick, and helpful. Music was louder than I needed with my food but that didn't hurt the experience. They obviously have regulars from what I've noticed and that says alot. I am going to be a regular, too. read more

The food was amazing. I ordered a chicken burrito to go. The burrito was delicious and huge. I couldn't eat it all! I will definitely eat here again and try a few of the other items on the menu. Apparently everything on the menu is served all day! I hope to sit inside. This place is small and quaint. Typical size for a restaurant located in downtown suburban area. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this place in Locust Grove Georgia. It's a very small town but we found this very cute place. The atmosphere was coffee shop but it had much more going on.

Those small things make a difference in the experience of eating. I would recommend this cute place! read more

Great food . Good service . I love the little coffee house vibe it gives off . It makes you want to make it your go to hangout spot . You would think from first look that it was just a cafe but it's not they have breakfast / brunch and dinner options to choose from . I've so far only had the breakfast it was so good for me to come back again for it next time I have to try the lunch / dinner options. read more

The good looks amazing here! We came in for coffee and lattes after a breakfast somewhere else and were sorry we did not eat here! The lattes were delicious and their baked good options were fresh. I loved the little bar for cocktail hour if you wanted a drink later or for brunch. It was filled with people and the ambiance was great. Definitely a spot to check out in this evolving little town! read more

All of it! I'm from California, so I've had some of the best Mexican food there is. This place has the BEST Mexican food I've had in the 6 years I've lived here! Can't wait to try her tamales when the holidays come around. Everyone I've taken here becomes a repeat customer. Great food, excellent service, delicious strong coffee. Highly recommend! read more

Cute little coffee shop located in downtown Locust Grove. Parking is plentiful out front and behind the building. Variety of desserts, coffee, coffee flavors, pastries, and even ice cream. The pumpkin bread was very fresh and moist. Wifi is great, it's a large place that would be great for groups. The train passing by adds a touch of small town feel to this place. Coffee is delicious. A tad pricey, but not any more than you would expect for a small business. Additionally, the desserts are kind of picked over as the day goes on, but still a variety to pick from. Customer service was also great and I love the variety of sizes for the drinks....sometimes you want a taste of coffee and sometimes you just need a big gulp size cup of coffee. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food is always amazing. Coffee's are delicious and service is great. Entrees are made to order and fresh with flavor every time.

Great service!! Being Latino in Locust Grove you don't see good Latin spots to eat at so this definitely hits home. Food is great, staff is great and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I had omelet and it was ok. Strawberry mimosa was good. Side potatoes were awesome. Amazing ambiance. Friend had cold pancakes that looked to be the frozen-stick-in-the-microwave quality. Server was subpar but coworker took up the slack. Bill was over $50. Too pricey for the quality. Will come back but only for the baked goods and coffee. ‍ They looked good in the case. read more

The food was really good. But service was very slow and space is limited. The waitress was overwhelmed and didn't have the most welcoming attitude but it was very busy. I would go back but hopefully faster service next time. read more
