Black Cat Coffee — Restaurant in Titusville

I wandered into this shop when I was still a new mom exploring her coffee tolerance again 🤣 and have been hooked ever since! I literally go there daily. Mindy (?sp I hope I’m getting this right) and her staff are absolutely incredible! They make my day every day - I leave the house 35 min early even though my office is only 10 min from my house because their coffee is so good and the service is so excellent. Quite simply, going there puts a smile on my face, even if I’m having a rough morning 😊 I remember day 1 Damon (sp?) helped me with selecting the right amount of shots for someone who hadn’t had coffee in a while, and got me hooked on the signature Crazy Monkey latte and Blueberry French Toast. Hannah (sp?) got me absolutely obsessed with the holiday Candied Orange latte. Colleen helped me step by step through my order when their espresso machine was down today and let me tell you - I didn’t miss my latte one bit! Everything there is absolutely exceptional. I even reached out to their bakery (Frostbite) for my daughter’s first bday and a holiday cookie platter for my office (absolute hit both times). I had serious withdrawals when I went out of town and had to settle for their big brand competitors’ coffee. Ok I could go on all day but you get the point - this place is SO GREAT and their rewards program is great and I cannot say enough incredible things about them! The only thing that’s disappointing is how long it took me to think to write this review! My favorite spot in town! Please (if you are nice) go meet them and make Black Cat a part of your daily routine - even on weekends hubs knows it’s the first thing I do...

Black Cat Coffee appeals to the pop-culture-loving, tea-sipping, sweet-tooth-catering being that I am. The moment I walk in, I'm greeted by wall art of Kirby, a t-shirt of Sonic the Hedgehog, a reference to Stranger Things, and more adorable cat-and-doggo art than I can shake a stick at. I immediately feel right at home.

Whoa... Is that bubble tea I see on the menu!? Consider me more at home!

Black Cat Coffee feels like an extended family. I watched several patrons be greeted by name, given their "usual" orders, and then take a seat to enjoy a warm beverage and comforting dessert while getting some work done on their laptops. People of all ages gathered here--from tiny tots to business professionals.

I ordered a London Fog and a Snickerdoodle Muffin (courtesy of Frostbite Bakery). The London Fog was well-balanced and not astringent, steeped from two Bigalow teabags. The Snickerdoodle muffin was an ample-sized delectable dessert--crumbly on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. I saw dozens of other menu items I'll definitely be coming back for, including those tea-infused chocolate hearts on the counter!

If you live in Titusville, you're overdue for a visit to Black Cat Coffee. They are well-worth your patronage and support. To give an old-fashioned pop culture reference:...

I will say this place is extremely cute, but in my mind that's where the positives for this café begin and end.

The start of my issues began when I walked in and overheard three unmasked customers discussing their recent (within the last few weeks) Covid diagnosis. I kept as much distance as I could, but I would have preferred if they had been asked to mask up or step outside, given that they were likely still in the transmissible period of their infections.

The biggest issue with my visit was the 35 minute wait while they made the drinks for the three people ahead of me. While they may have only the one barista, I feel like 35 minutes to prepare two iced coffees and a hot chocolate is excessive nonetheless.

The coffee itself was extremely disappointing, I ordered an iced pumpkin spice latte and an Iced vanilla latte, the "pumpkin spice" was 98% cinnamon, and blended poorly with the sour and stale espresso. While the vanilla in the other latte was clearly high quality, it's flavor is diminished by the once again sour and stale espresso.

It's a shame, because the owners and barista were both incredibly kind, friendly, and pleasant to talk to. I'd heard good things about this café, but I was disappointed with my...
