I cannot say enough about Black Oak and how much I love it! The food and bakery items are exceptional, and the lattes are some of the best I’ve ever had. The lovers lane latte with vanilla cold foam (pictured) is to die for! I live 20-30 minutes from here, but I wanted to try it out, and they didn’t disappoint! I returned that same weekend with my family and went twice that day because their coffee was THAT GOOD. I was very pleased and couldn’t stop raving to my friends about Black Oak. I would drive out here any day, and I so badly wish we had one in Santa Rosa. Not to mention, the pricing is reasonable compared to most shops. After trying Black Oak, nothing compares, and all I want now is to invest in an espresso machine to use their beans at home whenever I’d like- it’s seriously that good! The atmosphere and location are also amazing. The vibes inside the shop are cozy, warm, and inviting, but if you want to enjoy the great weather, they have outdoor seating, and the shop is a few steps from their downtown square.

I paid almost $20.00 for the bagel and chocolate milk. I was not going to waste it. I continued eating it and it just tasted weird. I pulled it open and found several slices of cucumber. I pulled them off since they repeat on me. It's been 6 hours since, and I'm still burping cucumber. I don't appreciate having added ingredients without...
Read moreI want to give this place 5 stars because everything is delicious!! Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with one of my drinks. I cannot drink caffeine because I feel sick from it. I asked if the chai tea latte was decaffeinated, they said yes because it was a powder. I ordered it (it was delicious) but ended up feel sick the entire day. When I checked my receipt on my email it says “Spiced black tea with textured milk” but the menu doesn’t mention black tea- nor was the server informed of it. Very misleading. This could have been avoided with clear signage and the barista being informed.
It’s hard to find great decaffeinated options at coffee shops but I trusted that the barista would know when...
