We camp near Tamaqua and came across this gem this year. We've traveled to the cat cafe in…read moreWilkes-Barre so we had an idea of what this is like. The owner was very welcoming. The coffee selection was decent for a cat cafe with a big selection of flavor syrups to add to your drink. The little gift shop was fairly priced and had a lot of unique things. I loved the little black cat mascot, as we have a few furry voids at home. There was about 16 cats in the room when we went on a Saturday afternoon. You can tell they are well taken care of and that the staff cleans very frequently in there. With the 3 of us and the other family we had enough room that we didn't feel jammed in. There was one orange cutie that kept trying to knock my Niece's drink off the windowsill, and a precious long haired grey cat that claimed my husband's lap for the last half of the hour. We were given wet treat tubes to feed them which all the cats went nuts for and there were plenty of feather wands and toys for us to interact with the ones who wanted to play. The coal theme plays in perfectly to the area and the wagon appears to be the hang out area for the cats. It was a fun experience we plan to do again soon. It's a great cause (socializing and getting cats adopted) and the owner is obviously passionate about the mission.

1/29/23 I had no idea this business was even here! I found a promotional write up when I was…read moreenjoying brunch at The Station. Kim and Ron are the owners of this very friendly business. Their goal is to find homes for these adorable felines and so far have placed 24 cats into forever homes in just three months. As Ron mentioned, you don't do this kind of business to get rich. I think it's more of a vocation. There is coffee and packaged treats available for sale. Not only that but a selection of T shirts, and fun toys for your favorite feline. The real stars here are the wonderful cats. I personally love how the owners tied in the Coal Region history into this modern forward thinking (in all the right ways) business. You will sign a waiver to enter (customary) the cat area. It is themed with all things Coal, like a mine decoration, pick axe and even a "coal wagon" delivery wagon (the cats seem to love it). We stopped by in passing but you may reserve time online. The number of people permitted is six maximum. The only other such cafe I knew of was in Philadelphia. I believe thanks to Covid and lockdowns that went under. The owners are enthusiastic about helping animals and customers visiting. Please support this incredible business and bring your little ones and friends to enjoy these sweet creatures. I did not get pictures of the entrance room but it is organized and colorful.

This is one of the most laid back and peaceful spaces I've been to. You pay a nominal fee to visit a room full of free roaming cats, all of which are adoptable. The money paid helps to support the care and upkeep of the animals, preventing euthanasia in local shelters. I highly recommend the tiramisu latte which is rich and delicious! There are some snacks light fare such as quiche slices, pastries, etc. to enjoy. Some think the price is too high but I believe it's certainly worth it to support such a great cause. The facility is extremely clean and well kept and service is always prompt and efficient. There are additional items for sale such as pet-friendly house plants, prepackaged coffee from local coffee farmers, pet toys, hoodies, T-shirts, tote bags, note cards, etc. All these items help to sustain the mission of the business. You can reserve your time in the cat room either prior to your visit or during. Check out their website and facebook page for more information and details. Please consider to take a break, slow down, have a cup of comfort and maybe you'll just find a new fur-ever friend.

The young lady making crepes was non stop but the food getting to tables was definitely an issue. We watched tables of 2-4 getting one meal and other meals 10 minutes later.

The service was great but the food wasn't. My daughter ordered a salad with chicken on it and the chicken wasn't cooked all the way thru. They did take it back and cooked it more.

Rarely in my travels do I encounter such a cute coffee spot that deserves a special shout out, but Blackwatch Cafe is worth a caffeine fix detour when traveling through the Scranton area. The unique vibe hits you as soon as you walk in, as there's decor worth a look in almost every direction. It's a tasteful collection of fixtures, pictures, and figures of all kinds. There is parking nearby the cafe, and the place offers a walk up window should you wish to sit on the patio outside or grab a drink to take for a stroll in the park. I ordered an iced mocha latte (half sweet), and it was prepared to perfection with a smooth taste and just the right amount of sweetness, and no hints of bitterness. It was probably the best iced mocha drink I've had in over a year. Service from the several ladies working there was really friendly. All in all, Blackwatch Cafe was a top notch cafe experience for me, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend others give them a visit when visiting Scranton. It's definitely the kind of coffee shop the world could use more of, offering a quality product, as well as a unique cafe experience. The park offers a wonderful place to stroll as well.
