Black Cat

I had the pleasure of having their “Cocoa Plums”. They are actually a compressed spherical mixture of premium dried plums, figs, apricots, maple syrup, rum (lots of it :) and cocoa. Delicious !!!

We stopped by here for lunch. It was my spouse and I, and our son. Immediately the staff and owner made us feel welcome. We ordered quiche, thanksgiving everyday, and goat cheese Mac and cheese. Everything was fantastic, some of the best I've ever had. You should definitely check this place out. You will not regret it. Excellent.

Friendly owner and service. Cute place for a snack and a break while exploring the town.

The Black Cat was a pleasant surprise. We were in Sharon Springs to do some shopping and the Black Cat was next door to where we were, so we stopped in for lunch. The decor is tastefully funky. We talked to the owner, who is somewhat of the town historian, and got a pretty expensive history of the area. The menu is small, but there was plenty to choose from. I got the Thanksgiving sandwich, and it was loaded with turkey and stuffing. My wife got a BLT which was great as well. This place is good enough that it warrants going out of the way to sample their cuisine. We will be back!

If you find yourself at the Canajoharie Exit on the New York Thruway around lunch time, exit and drive south for 15 minutes to Sharon Springs where you will find the Black Cat Cafe and Bakery. Treat yourself to the daily homemade soup or fresh green salad with figgy balsamic vinegar and one of the eclectic sandwiches that have been perfected by the owner/host, Tony, over many years. The picture shows 1/2 of the Thanksgiving Everyday sandwich to the left and 1/2 of the Reuben sandwich to the right. The turkey is roasted on site and comes with delicious homemade cranberry sauce and stuffing, and the corned beef is the leanest and most delicious I've had in a long time. It is also possible to order boxed lunches delivered to the Glimmerglass Theater in Cooperstown. We've always enjoyed these meals when attending performances there. After lunch enjoy browsing nearby shops, including the Beekman 1802 Mercantile.

Delicious food, vegan options amazing coffee, cat themed decor is so cute, local artwork hanging inside. Love it

Really fun place for great food and conversation. If you are in the area, you should stop in. You won't regret it!

Having fun in Sharon Springs. This is one of very few places to eat and fortunately a very good place to eat! Good selection and great desserts.

This is a lovely cafe with fresh homemade and locally sourced food. I love sitting outside and enjoying lunch in this eclectic setting.

The food was very good and the gentleman working there went above and beyond to be kind to my daughter. Please give this place a try!

Sunday is the day my sister and I take my 88 yr old Dad out for breakfast. Haven’t been happy with our experience at a Cobleskill Diner in the past, so we decided to take a scenic drive. We googled restaurants and The Black Cat came up. We found a diamond in the rough. What a quaint little cafe that reminded us of the 50’s. Food was yummy and the owner was very accommodating. Will definitely be back.

I never would have stopped here if a friend hadn't taken me. If fact, I wouldn't have even turned down the street off the main highway.
The four of us had various sandwiches which were outstanding.
If you want a breakfast or lunch spot worth trying, instead of the ordinary chain place, cardboard food substance, this is your place.

The steak sandwich is the world's best, if available. The breakfast potatoes were great as well. Actually, all the food at our table was exceptional and unique.
I found this place on-line years ago and really wanted to try it. Today I had clients that wanted to view a few homes in Sharon Springs. It was the perfect restaurant with professional table service along with quality food options, served without a long wait.
If in the area, this is the premiere, go-to, breakfast and lunch. The ride to the area is beautiful. This might even make for a romantic destination spot.

This place is awesome! We visited Sharon Springs out of season, and I think we were the only non locals dining. The staff was great, the owner was friendly and made a point to come ask about our meal, which I love. I accidentally left my ID there- when I called and they couldn't initially find it they went out of their way to search for it, talking to me all the while and making it kind of fun, actually. We would never eat anywhere else when visiting Sharon Springs in the future

Good prices for great items. Everything from there was very good including the chocolate croissant, blueberry muffin and the donuts. The workers are very sweet and kind.

Love this place, and the owner is fantastic. Had the most amazing meals. It's worth the ride to take a scenic ride to this historic village and get a bite to eat.

Food was great when I went here. Had the Thanksgiving Day sandwich and the turkey and stuffing was delightful to say the least. The waitress was new so there were a few hiccups in getting our food but she was beyond kind so I totally understood. I'd gladly come back here and have the same thing again!

Great little restaurant!! Food was excellent.

What an amazing place to go. Food is outstanding and so much charm. A must go to place. You will do so happy you did. The Mac & blaak to die for.
My mom and sister raved about fresh roasted turkey sandwich. Very original but with a twist

Fantastic, rich, authentic experience! A muddy Sunday morning I accidentally walked in in search of coffee. I sat at an charming old table -- whispering of many owners through the century-- and had to have an old fashion doughnut: delightful! Quality and charm is in every inch of this wonderful treasure!
