Black Cat Coffee opened very recently on Main Street in Chatham, adding to the local coffeehouse…read morescene in this small village. The place has a relaxed atmosphere with the order counter towards the back, potted plants, framed pictures on the walls, mounted buffalo head, and a few toys (Kidrobot, rubiks cube, stuffed plush toys) high up on a wall shelf. There's long "conference" table with chairs in the center of the room, soft sofa with coffee tables, and stool seating along the front window. They also offer free wifi access too. The drink menu is straightforward offering hot & iced drinks including coffee, espresso, cappuccino, machiatos, lattes, tea (cup or pot to stay), iced tea and cold brew (coming soon at the time of posting). They also have a few baked goods for sale to go with your drink. I stopped by Black Cat Coffee recently for coffee. I got a Medium 12 oz Hot Coffee ($3 plus tax) which was very very hot and definitely needed a cardboard hot drink sleeve from the creamer & sweetener station. The service here was prompt. The coffee was brewed just right and no bitter taste, even drinking it black. I took advantage of the free wifi to catch up on news while enjoying my hot breakfast food I picked up from another cafe with my hot coffee.

The rum cake is a 20 minute walk from the port. Try to walk there in a group I definitely wouldn't…read morewalk there alone because it is a dangerous area. Once we arrive there was a very long line. Be patient when getting there they are getting orders in and out so know what you want before you get to the front. The staff is very rude and direct. The samples they had were the piña colada and the pecan. You are not able to request for a sample of a different kind of cake. They do have a plethora of flavors. I like Irish cream so I decided to get the Irish cream cake. The cake was delicious and moist. It was perfect you will be a little tipsy after eating it. They were reasonably priced they are about seven dollars each and they do have different sizes but for the travel size it is seven dollars. I couldn't finish the cake in one sitting because it is extremely strong. But it was delicious!! Definitely come here if you have the time. Bring CASH!

We decided to walk (about fifteen minutes) to get here and we are so glad we did. Outside the door was a woman giving samples of a local alcohol, and while it was delicious we didn't want to buy any because we would have had to check in and pick it up later after our cruise ended. The inside of the place was very small and bustling with other people and workers. You can see directly into the room where they were making the cakes fresh. It smelled so good in there. A worker told us to try all the different samples and we did! Our favorite was the original rum cake and the coffee one. We decided to buy six and they told us we would get a FREE shot at their outdoor bar if we show them the receipt. The rum cakes are delicious and dangerous because you can finish one on your own within moments because they are so sweet, rum forward and small (in a good way). We even had the worker helping us box our cakes pick her favorite couple to put in our box. Prices are reasonable and if you can't make it here, they also over shipping on their website! Everyone needs to try their amazing rum cakes at least once in their life! I demand it!

There's fancy candles and aromatherapy on the right, but on the left you can find a small grocery store of sorts with tinned fish and chili crunch, and theres a slew of stationery scattered around as well. I believe they also sell loose leaf teas, and from what I can remember Rocky's Matcha is a pretty popular brand of ceremonial matcha. I got the chai latte, and it is the STRONGEST CHAI LATTE I'VE EVER HAD. I would say its caffeinicity (is that a word?) is comparable to a regular coffee latte. It's fragrant, a little more forward in the spices, an all around I can see why it's a customer favorite. Their matcha latte also sounds super tasty, and their Blue Boy which I think is butterfly pea-based. I guess this means I just need to circle back and try some of their other drinks!

We had such a fabulous time at Morningbird last weekend. Everything about the experience was on…read morepoint: the vibes, the service, the food, the drinks. It certainly didn't hurt that the weather was beautiful and there was one outdoor table open when we arrived so we could sit with our dog by our side. Morningbird is a great fit for the area and absolutely worth visiting even if you're a town or two away. We came here around 1pm on a Saturday, on our way from Hudson to the Adirondacks. Thankfully it was on the way, allowing us to both shave off a bit of our drive and try a new spot we'd been eying for a while. Thanks to some pictures on Google, I saw that there were at least a few outdoor tables, which was important because we had our dog with us. You need to order inside but they'll bring it out to your when it's ready. Though we only spent all of five minutes indoors, I immediately loved the vibe and could picture myself hanging, reading, working here for a while. All the tables were full at this hour, but it did not seem overly packed. The coffee here is delicious, though I can only speak to the cold brew. That said, a friend of ours speaks highly of the lattes/other espresso drinks, for what it's worth. While waiting for my coffee, I perused the selection of prepared foods -- curated with a precision I've come to expect of most businesses in this area. As some have mentioned, the food at Morningbird (and the neighboring Aviary) is Asian-inspired, as are the items for sale. Expect gourmet condiments and seasoning, alongside plenty of coffee/tea and coffee/tea-related products. It's a marvel that I didn't walk out of there with five jars of chili crisp (potentially my all-time favorite condiment). Food-wise, I got the Iceberg Wedge w/ fried shiitakes, blistered sungolds, salted cashews, vegan thai green goddess dressing and my partner got the Fried Omelette and Kale over rice w/ garlic fried rice, roasted kale, crispy shallot. Every ingredient of both dishes was fresh and delicious and flavorful, and the preparations were familiar with a bit of whimsy. The prices are extremely reasonable for both items, but it's possible that it's because they're both on the smaller side as far as entrees go. Not a complaint, just worth mentioning in case you are very hungry. Service was super fast, almost impossibly so. An enjoyable experience start to finish, making Morningbird a spot we'll certainly be returning to.

It takes a bit to make drinks / food, so be sure to allocate some time--this isn't one of the factory-like cafes that churn out drinks / whip out ready-made food.
