Black Diamond Cafe

I love this cafe and have watched it grow over the years to include a wine bar now!Pros: have yummy house made fruit scones that I highly recommend. The staff is friendly and will make lovely little shapes onto cappuccinos. They have: a small wine bar, pastries, food, drinks, TV, a quiet space, lots of seating indoor and outdoor and a clean atmosphere. Con: they need to descale their espresso machines more often so the cappuccinos can taste as good as they look Overall, great date, meetup or work cafe for a couple of hours!

Service without a smile.I was greeted without a smile and she almost seemed like she didn't want to be there. I asked her if they did artistic lattes still and she said yes and offered a bear or cat and I said bear. It came out pretty cute (see pic). I ordered the taro latte and it was pretty good. I'd probably ask for it to be a tad sweeter next time and maybe double shot.I also got a chocolate fudge brownie. It ended up having a weird after taste. When I told the older lady about it, she asked what it tasted like (I said a bit metallic) and she said "well, we're using the same recipe". I said "Ok ... " well maybe it's gone bad somehow? It wasn't until after I turned around and threw it away that she offered to trade in another pastry. I came to do some work which required internet. I asked the younger lady for the password and she gave it to me. After 30 min, the internet stopped working. When I dropped off my mug, I told her the internet isn't working and she replied with "oh", then proceeded to check the register to make sure it's working but did nothing about fixing the internet. Service can be better.

I decided to stop by while I was in Emeryville and ordered a passionfruit black tea for pickup. Service was quick and friendly. It was fruity, not too sweet, so I liked it since it does taste like a good balance between the bitter taste of tea and tropical fruit flavor.I saw the cafe also has outdoor seating.

Perfect little neighborhood cafe. Great place to do some work with strong WiFi, snacks/meals/hot/cold drinks, and even beer and wine with a screen to watch the game for breaks! Family run and very convenient with its own clean bathroom and outdoor seating. Been our go-to spot for study groups while in college and now for quick meet-ups.

Stopped in once on a drive on a weekend. Nice selection of pastries that are not all the "usual" which I appreciated. The chocolate macaroon cookie was a nice size and so welcome. Yummy!

I loved the vibes, it was a great spot to study at with great natural lighting. there's a great variety of drink and food options to choose from to keep you full and satisfied to work hard! friendly staff also contributed to the good experience. would recommend!!

Great study spot (not too crowded and lots of outlets). Drinks a solid 9/10, chicken pesto panini 7/10

okay chai just a bit lacking in flavor and pretty milky, inside is cozy and there is a clean bathroom

Very cozy and chill! I think this is the right place to study, work, and chat. Great Coffee shop.
