Black Seed was an amazing, one-of-a-kind experience. From the second I walked in, I felt welcomed. The woman working the front was incredibly kind and hustling to keep everything running smoothly. I highly recommend this place, and it honestly hurt to hear they might have to close. Please don’t forget to support local businesses! Also, I ordered 3 mochas and they were 🔥
2nd time there and the beef shawarma bowl is amazing!! The hot sauce is spicy but so delicious. For someone who is not big on hot sauce, I was looking forward to getting it again. The Dubai canoli was delicious as was the lemonade lemon basil drink. Highly recommend!! Food made to order so go in expecting a little wait, but so worth it!
If you haven't been, go! You won't be disappointed! Great atmosphere with delicious food/drink. Don't skip the strawberry dubai chocolate cup, yum!!
Fresh and flavorful: amazing strawberry matcha + falafel bowl!! 🍓 Black Seed Cafe is an absolute gem. The Strawberry Matcha was so delicious- the best I’ve ever had. Smooth, perfectly sweet, and super refreshing. I also tried the Falafel Bowl and it was bursting with flavor and color: crispy falafel, fresh ingredients, and just the right balance of textures. Everything tasted homemade and full of love. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for amazing food, great drinks, and warm vibes!
let me just start by saying the moment you walk in you’re greeted, just so friendly and warm. They’re super helpful as well as I’m a very indecisive person. Everything is sooooo delicious from the coffee , the bread , and the shawarma bowl. I definitely will be back. This place is a gem
