I had breakfast here and can’t say enough about the crepe with egg, cheese and ham. The home fries were really home fries and I can’t wait to go back the next time I visit Oberlin and do lunch or dinner!
My family and I visited Black River Cafe for the first time on Labor Day. We arrived around 12pm…. we were seated at 12:30…. This may seem like a bit of a wait but we gave it some patience due to the fact that is WAS Labor Day and it WAS a college town. Fast forward. We ordered coffee…. O DEAR…. the coffee alone was worth the wait. Delicious, rich, little to no citrus undertones, and very deep flavor. Just what the doctor ordered! I ordered the Bagel and Lox with a side of hash (just to sample the hash and have some left for my brothers), brothers ordered three egg omelettes and a three pancake stack (big boys and proud of it!)…. The bagel and lox came with (please prepare yourself for drooling) a delicious everything bagel, cream cheese, the best smoked salmon I’ve had in much too long, capers, tomatoes, red onions and lettuce….. I am salivating as I type…. The hash was outstanding and had delicious sweet peppers and onions tossed in which I picked out to eat first…. Now the pancakes…. I would not be exaggerating by saying that each pancake was at least 1/2 an inch thick, moist, fluffy and to die for… I think my brothers started to hate the fact that they weren’t allowed to hit a girl from how many times my fork stealthily made its way to their stack o’ pancakes… Was the service a little slow? Yes… Were the people nice, the food delicious, coffee piping hot and fresh? YES… I have been singing their praises and allotting time to make another 20 min drive out for that same experience very soon.
Terrific wine list. Tried Black River once, food was quite nice. Service can be spotty (tried to arrive at 5, posted opening time, got ignored long enough that we went down the street) and understaffed sometimes. But in contrast with their neighbors (or anybody else within many miles) they have a dynamite wine list, with some quite reasonable prices.
Food is awesome. But the svc can b very very bad. Joe really need to chg this. Alot of the same talk on the street
