I wanted to like Black Cat. I went in on two occasions. Coffee was good, service was not. Staff were disorganized and wanted to double-charge me when I came in on the weekend. I had to point out what I bought and who I was with for them to remember that I had already paid. The next time I came in on a weeknight evening, and I was hoping to do some research while having a coffee.. I had my laptop out, and over the course of the 45 minutes I was there, the music went from pleasant to hardcore punk. I am not sure why it changed so drastically - perhaps in an effort to drive people like me out. There was another group there meeting over school work. The music was so loud, you couldn't hear yourself think or talk to another person. The place was otherwise empty. I don't know what happened with the other group, but I left shortly after. Why drive out paying customers? Music like that is not necessarily enticing. If you don't want laptops, take a cue from Holy Oak. They get it.
