If you ever visit Martha’s Vineyard, I definitely suggest visiting the famous Black Dog Cafe. I wasn’t a fan of the wings but the lobster roll, crab cakes and calamari was good. The highlight was definitely the cocktails and the cute mason jars.
In terms of decor and ambiance , the space feels homely and cozy with a gorgeous patio. I would definitely recommend coming here for a chill date or afternoon outing with friends or family.
The staff was friendly and the wait time was short.

The French kiss latte was sweet but yummy. It’s nice to find a decent decaf espresso! Bagel sandwich with egg, bacon, spinach, fresh jalapeños and chipotle aioli was also very good. Staff was helpful and atmosphere was clean and inviting. Great place to catch an early morning breakfast and coffee. Wish I had brought enough of an appetite for some of the bakery offerings. I already regret not buying an apple fritter for later in the day. We will be back!

Stopped here on the way back to the ferry to grab a quick bite to eat. I just got a simple grilled cheese and fries. I also got this delicious s'more dessert to go. They have indoor and outdoor seating with an old train car on the property.
Went there on a date, we ordered a pilgrim sandwich, French fries, dirty chai with two shots of espresso, and a hot chocolate. We asked for no mayo on the sandwich. There was multiple hairs on the serving tray, the turkey in the sandwich was leathery and felt like it had been left out in a refrigerator for a couple days. They also put mayo on the sandwich, and did not put any espresso in the chai, the server was not a nicest to us, and in complete honesty the setup of the place is not well thought out. The food was laughable at how bad it was and the chai tasted like water. The only thing that was good was the hot chocolate. It was really disappointing how far this place was gone, I love the new look with the bar, but the food and experience was far from acceptable.

What a disappointment to visit the "new" Black Dog Cafe and find that the food was lousy, the service was poor and the price for 3 sandwiches and water was $70.00 Oh including the $3. uncharge for sweet potato fries. The fish was dry and the batter like an old pancake. The fish and chips came without the chips and I got push back about it when I went back to tell them. Last straw was a road coffee for the boat with lots of grounds in the bottom of the cup! We have been regulars for years and years. The great vibe, the great service, wonderful breads and bagels, cookies, and the lively clientele are all gone. This place has been wrecked by going for "urban" whatever. We won't be back. Too bad.
