I have come here a few times and usually the coffee and breakfast sandwiches are great.. not this time. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a biscuit and was told after it came out that they were out of biscuits, so it came on a croissant instead. Totally fine, I can understand miscommunication with the kitchen. I took the sandwich to go, and later opened it to find 3 tiny squares of egg and a piece of bacon on a burnt croissant. Only reason this isn’t a 1 star review is because the few times i’ve been here previously, the food/coffee was fantastic. Off day I guess.
Very cute shop. Our barista was friendly and helpful. They have lots of flavors to add to your drink. I had the maple spice and it was delicious.
My husband and I were staying in Harrisonburg for a wedding and decided to swing by Black Sheep on our way home. We’re both coffee aficionados and love to stop in local coffee shops whenever we’re out of town. The coffee shop was busy, which is always a good sign, and also had an awesome vibe! Cool decor, good places to sit, a good variety of drink options. Despite being in a morning rush, the baristas were friendly and moving quickly to keep up with orders. I’d love to give 5 stars based on all this, and I was hopeful when our mochas came out looking super tasty and beautiful on top, but the coffee was super weak unfortunately. It had the chocolate flavor you expect with a mocha, but the coffee flavor was barely there, and it wasn’t super hot either. It was also a little on the pricey side. So I’d give it two stars based solely on the coffee—but cute place!
The food was great ,had breakfast croissant. My only complaint is at the minimum a drip coffee should have one refill without a dollar charge. It would encourage people to sit longer, and congregate. Which in turn allows people to get hungry again, which then has them purchase more items. Also there's something fundamentally wrong about a cup of coffee for " here" without a free refill
Very disappointed-I came in this establishment with the hopes of purchasing a black sheep for my farm, only to find that this place does not sell sheep. Instead of the livestock I expected, I found myself with a vanilla latte made by hipsters with beanies. 10/10 will come again, but still mad about the confusion this place's name gives it.
Great local coffee shop! My son enjoyed the arcade machine while I enjoyed a dirty chai! I'm definitely recommending if passing through!
Wasted an entire hour at this coffee shop- they have the worst system for orders. They need to fire the tall girl with curly hair/ she worked the register- got my order wrong until i pointed it out- told her THREE times that i don’t want bacon, ok she fixed it- 45 minutes later, what do I receive..a bacon cheddar biscuit. I had to ask for a refund for half my order bc they never made my panini either (waited 50 minutes until i asked for a refund), and when i received my biscuits- found out that it had BACON- I didn’t want to waste another hour for a refund. I had to leave, it was so incredibly frustrating. The only person working there was a young barista with dark hair. I mean seriously- how did i wait 50 minutes for an order and walk away with a cold latte? This was so frustrating, i left the biscuits and croissant at the counter, never received my refund bc the tall register lady was so incredibly slow. SO FRUSTRATING, I don’t think i can ever justify coming back here again, not only did i loose out on 50 minutes, i never received my breakfast/lunch bc they never made it AND got the wrong order. For anyone wondering if they should come here- Don’t, it’s not worth the wait.Very upset at this coffee shop, was excited bc of the reviews posted. I understand that every restaurant is understaffed, but this issue is a direct reflection of bad management- Bad hire aside, they have the worst process for orders too- two customers ended up taking other customers’ order bc they don’t take names or provide receipts with an order. It’s really not worth it, We were better off going to Magpie diner for a sit down breakfast, would’ve been quicker and less frustrating, and wouldn’t have lost out on money either.
Years ago this my favorite coffee shop in Harrisonburg but today I thought I would revisit while in town and had to wait over an hour for three very simple drinks. Many there were asking for refunds that they did not receive before having to leave due to the time spent waiting. I wish I could say I had a great reunion with this coffee shop but unfortunately it was a bad enough experience to make me not want to go back again.
Friendly staff and good coffee. 5 out of seven stars for a perfect score. We will return. Especially nice at this time of the year.
Love this place! Plenty of comfortable open seating, great coffee and excellent service, interesting things to eat, groovy decor, and an old video arcade game. High marks.
