Black Iron Cafe - N. McAllen

Cafe food, super good. Don't fret if it's busy, it is worth the wait. I look forward to a return visit. Prices are fair. Feels like a place in Charlotte that I enjoyed visiting.

I just had the worst coffee experience of my life. This may sound like hyperbole, but sadly it isn 't. I ordered a cold brew coffee and a blueberry muffin. The blueberry muffin was small and tasteless. The bread was extremely dry. As if this wasn 't disappointing in itself, I then decided to wash the dryness away left by the muffin. I 've never had coffee that tastes like a bottom shelf scotch. But I suppose there 's a first time for everything. I tried it again and yeah, for a short while there I was wondering if someone had dropped in some Clan McGregor. It isn 't even funny. The gun powder instantaneous coffee they sell in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice prisons has a better taste than what I just had. This was true rotgut stuff I had just purchased. I was going to ask the barista what coffee they used, or if their cold brew was just the accumulation of days worth of leftover drip house coffee. I decided against this since it probably isn 't her fault. This was just awful.

Really good food! Tried the cerese wrap, and some tomato soup. Very excellent food! Prices compare to other coffee shop right up the block. What doesn't compare is the food. The oreo frapachino was very good too. I highly recommend this place for coffee or a meal!

Fine location for Cafe food. I love this place, great food service. Had a sister come into town and asked me to take her here again. The bill won't shock you. Feeling here is similar to a cafe in San Jose I liked.

Very friendly and informative service, which was good as I was a first time customer. I'd say the only downsides are that the servers/baristas take FOREVER to give you one simple drink (VERY slow service), and that the items are all overpriced.
