This will be my new breakfast spot when I visit the island. They are true farm to table, grow their own veggies, offer a local egg on breakfast sandwiches, have vegan and gluten free bread and pastry options.
Hands down the best takeout on the island! Everything is so good! There are no other fully vegan or gluten free options on the island. As someone with Celiac disease, I am so grateful to have found a place where I can order anything on the menu.
Being closed on a sunday is the stupidest business idea ever. People need food 24/7 so to close your store for a whole day, and on a WEEKEND no less, is just pure idiocy. Thanks rocco’s. You were a staple of my childhood growing up on the island, being one of the only gluten free places I could get pizza. And you’re closed on the one day of the last time I can come back to the island after my grandmother has died. So once again thanks for being closed on Sunday, I’m sure you’re saving lots of money or something from doing so.
Just not great food. Being gluten-free myself, I was excited for the many gf offerings. Unfortunately it let us all down.
The calamari was over cooked and too thin, tasting like burnt bread with a pretty similar consistency. My tuna poke bowl’s rice was cold and hard like leftover rice that’s been sitting in the fridge. Was told this was normal sushi rice by the staff… eventually they gave me fresh rice - the tuna was decent. I’m told the Baja chicken bowl was “fine.” The guacamole lacked any seasoning whatsoever and is not worth it. Lobster sliders I’m told were good. Best thing I tasted was my virgin piña colado, which tasted like the real thing and not from a pre-made mix - much better than the iced tea.
The manager came to check on us towards the end. She was nice and comped a couple items. Unfortunately, the issues seem to lie with the kitchen team, like other reviewers have noted. Not worth your time or money until they fix that.
I truly enjoyed my first time experience at the Black Dog Bakery Cafe for lunch! The warmth and inviting atmosphere, coupled with friendly customer service, truly set the stage for an enjoyable visit. The unique and flavorful coffee surpassed my expectations leaving a lasting impression. The thoughtful display of merchandise and the dog-friendly ambiance add a charming touch for canine enthusiasts. The classic train car and outdoor seating provide a lovely setting for patrons to savor their meals. The Black Dog Bakery and Cafe is a gem with their deliciously rich peanut butter cups for gluten-free lovers, and irresistible cupcakes and other delicious homemade Bakery items. It's clear that The Black Dog Cafe has earned a special place in my list of favorite eateries.
I am in my 3rd decade of eating gluten free (NOT by choice) and I have to say your gluten free pies and cookies are by far the most DEE-LISH-US I have ever encountered. For me the treat is definitely worth the price! Keep up the good work!
Food was awesome, seriously delious! Had lots of gluten-free options. But the service missed the mark. For the first time in my life, my food arrived before my ice tea did. We had to ask our waiter for a refill on our water kraft and all our drinks. Mint ice tea was delicious, wish I could have gotten more than one glass.
