Black cat people know about food. That's what makes them different to all the other places in Mill Rd. You don't have to know about food to fill a few baguettes or sandwiches with prepared stuff. I guess this is why Black Cat is always full when all the other places are empty. Keep up the good work.

I've just been bullied by Mo to do this but she's right, we should all be supporting a small independent cafe like Black Cat. It is just so right - small, comfortable, intimate, the staff are friendly and chatty especially when you become a regular and sometimes Nancy even lets you lick the bowl when she's baking - her lemon curd is fabulous. Even on the rare ocassion when they get something wrong it is easy to forgive because so much is right. Keep up the good work!

Why has everyone stopped voting! We need to make sure that Black Cat wins or at least comes within the top 3! There has never been another place like this. Everything is made by Nancy and Gina: all the cakes, biscuits and that fab chocolate brownie; all the fillings for the panini none of this buying buckets of fillings in bulk full of additives and preservatives; the salads so inventive; great smoothies and the coffee - I know that Nancy spent a year working out her blend and that she buys the beans green and roasts them. Organic milk in the coffee, organic soya milk at NO extra charge! We need more places like this so come on all Black Cat customers and regulars VOTE!!

This cafe just has it all. The cakes are to die for - imaginative, fresh and melt in the mouth. It also has excellent salads, paninis and a menu to suit everybody. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed. Whether you're by yourself, with a group, with children - everyone is made to feel welcome. A real jewel.

Nancy brought her baking and restaurant knowledge from New Zealand and it shows! A wonderful place and the best French toast I've ever had outside Ann Arbor Michigan, which wins regular James Beard awards!!

Inventive lunch options and killer cakes. Good hot coffee, beans roasted on the premises.

So many have said it about the food and the ambience (I'm not a cake person but I love almost everything they bake here). But Black Cat also breathes life into an area of Mill Road that is otherwise utterly dire, so thank you!
