Nice decor and the staff is attentive and friendly. The coffee is good and strong which is a huge plus. My friend had a burger which was huge and he enjoyed it. I had the "famous" pancakes made with sweet cream. While 2 pancake was enough to fill my plate I could only eat a small portion. They had a great taste it's just they were too big and thick. Even with a lot of butter and syrup I did not really enjoy them as they were dry and heavy. The verdict is still out on Black Bear and I may return, but not a place I would go for pancakes. We will see....
