I work around the corner from this coffee shop and love the vibe of this place and the friendliness of not only the shop owners, but the other customers. A non-chain coffee shop is a breath of fresh air and just what Allentown needed in the burgeoning business district.
I love their commitment to offering locally sourced products like Zeke's coffee and ThreeFifty baked goods (seriously good stuff) and their enthusiasm for the Allentown neighborhood.
While I typically get their house blend, I have splurged on some specialty drinks and everything is really delicious. It's typically busy, but not too crowded if you want a table to relax, chat with a friend, or even work and there is free wi-if. I look forward to Black Forge Coffeehouse being a staple in Allentown for a long time!
