Black Earth Magical Cafe — Restaurant in Old Forge

Black Earth is not your usual cafe and coffee house. It is rather a house of the unexpected. The walls are decorated in an Egyptian Renaissance style along with hints of hermetic alchemy. A scent of the exotic floats in the air in stillness. That's just the beginning.

The menu is packed with experimental takes on your favorite offerings and other items that are truly original.

Very tasty! I had a simple Strawberry and Banana smoothie. Rich, creamy, flavorful and generous.

They're doing delightful gastronomic experiments on everyone. I was happy to be a subject.

Highest Recommendation!

Also, the clerk/server/barista is an absolute gem.

I have an update. I returned to Black Earth Magical Cafe hungry for more.... Did I get it. Wow.

The specialty lemonade which I can not explain was at the same time sophisticated and reminded me of my childhood. The Butterfly Pea yogurt and fruit bowl my wife enjoyed was fresh, tasty, generous and attractive. On the other hand Black Earth has elevated something as classic and ubiquitous as Mac & Cheese to a gastromomical victory. I mentioned garlic bread in Old Forge must be top shelf. Black Earths is among the best in the area and therefore the world.

Blown away by the experience and my wife...

Black earth magical cafe is truly a one of a kind place.

The atmosphere is amazing holding an Egyptian theme and a calm and relaxing vibe.

For the menu they have everything from mocktails to custom energy drinks and smoothies. With everything being made right in front of you with precision and care.

The staff was amazing! The owner was in that day and he was taking our orders and he was also talking to me and my friend while making drinks, handling the register, checking inventory, and cleaning! He talk to us for quite a while too, telling us everything from how he came up with the drinks, why the drinks are good for you, and how he got into alchemy which I haven’t mentioned that all but the drinks are made with the thought of alchemy in mind! Honestly talked to me and my friend like we were regulars that were in there all the time even tho it was our first time!

In conclusion black earth is an amazing place to hangout with a couple of buddies and just vibe and talk about your day or grab one of the awesome...

Absolutely phenomenal! This coffee shop exceeded every expectation from the moment I walked in. The service was truly exceptional — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every staff member I interacted with made me feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer.

The presentation of everything, from the drinks to the food to the space itself, was flawless. You can tell they take pride in every detail. My drink arrived like a work of art, perfectly crafted and almost too beautiful to drink (but I’m glad I did, it was delicious!).

Everything was top notch: the ambiance, the cleanliness, the seating, the menu, all thoughtfully curated for an outstanding experience. This place isn’t just a coffee shop; it’s a whole vibe. Can’t wait to come back and bring everyone I know. Highly,...
