Even for a mid day Monday visit Black Walnut Café is wonderfully busy! The place is clean with plenty of seating, and up at the cash there is a sign asking that patrons only stay for an hour as to allow everyone to enjoy such a pleasant space and experience. I can absolutely recommend their regular coffee, iced peppermint latte, and the sausage roll, as all were absolutely delicious. I know this café gets very busy during the school year, being so easily accessed from western, but even crowded it's a great place to get coffee and lunch.
3 friends and I up visiting another friend in London stopped in at the Black Walnut Café. Being here before we knew what to expect. Excellent Service the employees behind the counter are quick and courteous to make sure you are served., great coffee and the food is fresh and very very delicious. I always recommend to my friends and family.
Despite living in London for the past few years, I only recently tried out this place! This beautiful cafe is very conveniently located and is always busy. During peak times, it may be difficult to find a seat but they do open up fairly quickly. The service here is amazing, they’re super attentive and nice which is a big plus.nnIn terms of their food, their cruffins are TO DIE FOR - I absolutely love them to death. They rotate their flavours and every single one I’ve had has been phenomenal. Admittedly, difficult to eat which the sugar coating on the croissant mixed with the custard inside but still so so good that it’s worth the mess. I do wish it was served warmed which would take it to the next level! The sandwiches are surprisingly good as well. My favourite is the ham and Swiss. It is very filling and I love how much they pack into the sandwich especially how much Dijon they put in it hehe. In terms of the coffee, it was decent. I was expecting more bold flavours to come out and taste the richness but unfortunately I could not. Maybe I had too high of expectations for the coffee after tasting the pastries and food but regardless, it was still decent coffee.nnOverall though, this place is an amazing place to sit down, eat, read, study, and catch up with friends! I definitely will be coming back and trying more of their items :
Very nice coffee shop in my mother’s neighbourhood in London. Coffee on the patio Saturday morning with one of my kids during a visit to my mother. Such a friendly positive vibe.
I don’t normally leave reviews, but I really love this this place and I was so disappointed with my experience recently.nnI was enjoying a coffee on the patio with some family a few weeks ago around 5 pm. We figured we could stay and enjoy the beautiful weather since they didn’t close until 6 pm. Around 5:15 a woman whom I can only assume was the manager on staff that day came out and announced that they are closing at 6 pm. We figured she meant 6 o’clock was when we should begin leaving. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. At 5:40 the manager came out and began stacking chairs with another employee and announced that they were closing….20 minutes before they were closed. Not to mention stacking chairs in front of and next to customers in the middle of conversations and drinking their coffee’s still, myself and family included. She was essentially forcing us all out since she wanted to get ahead on closing duties I’m assuming. I’ve worked in customer service at almost every job I’ve had since my first. And in every job, it’s been standard to start closing duties slightly before closing time and to start fully closing down at closing time. Not 20 minutes before, especially when there are customers still in the building. I would have understood if it was 20 minutes after closing and we were overstaying out welcome. But that wasn’t the case at all. No one was impressed by her rude tone, and some people made some annoyed comments on their way out. But she didn’t seem to care that she was running paying customers out because she was ready to go home. I understand closing duty lists can be long and tiresome at the end of the workday, especially somewhere that’s regularly busy like the black walnut. But your customers don’t deserve to be treated poorly because you don’t want to do your job. I’m still a regular customer, because 90% of the staff is lovely. But I wanted to speak up about this since it left a bitter taste in my mouth. My family and I even have a joke now, that “oh shoot it’s 2 pm, we’d better head to black walnut now since the manager likes the patio closed in 10 minutes.” So beware if you’re looking to spend some time sitting outside with a coffee after work, because the manager wants to clock out 30 minutes early I suppose.nnI digress, good coffee, mostly friendly staff.
