Black Water Bakery
Here at Black Water Bakery you'll find a full breakfast and lunch menu, pastries and plenty of sweets, all made in house. We have scones, muffins, cupcakes and much, much more. All items perfectly paired with a great cup of Chesapeake Bay Roasting Company coffee, a hand-pulled latte, or an espresso.

Looking for a little something more? We're now serving a full breakfast and a lunch menu with daily specials! We offer a variety of breakfast options: omelets, sandwiches, quiche, pancakes, waffles, and much more. Oh, and did we mention the cocktails? Because we have those, too. Bloody Mary's, mimosas, wines by the glass.

We are regulars at Black Water for breakfast and bakery. Everything is really excellent. The owner and staff are friendly and welcoming. So glad to have Black Water in Cambridge.

We went to the Black Water bakery on a Sunday. The restaurant was well staffed, and the service was good, especially for being so busy. The food was great, and came out nice and hot. My husband had a scrapple omelet and was in heaven. I had Avocado toast and it was delicious, and I loved it's presentation.
Plus I love the atmosphere, in a restored downtown building.
We will be back!

Great selection of pastries or full breakfast. Full range of coffee beverages and great attention to detail: iced coffee even has coffee ice cubes! Outdoor tables. Friendly and accommodating service. Charming atmosphere. We went for breakfast both days we were in town!

So yummy!!!
Everything was delicious, the service was great, the restroom was great, love the decor. Purchased some bakery items for later and can't wait. Kid friendly environment.
Lunch and Breakfast is all day.
They do take reservations for seating. We didn't know this but they were able to fit us in, I believe several people were leaving when we got there so it worked out.

I loved visiting this cute local bakery on my visit to Cambridge. I came twice during my stay here, one to do a curbside pickup and the other to go inside for a pickup order. The first visit I got the breakfast quinoa bowl, a piece of pumpkin bread, and a honey lavender chai--all on the Toast app which was really easy to order. It even gave me a $5 birthday reward plus a $7 reward with the two orders I placed, which really helped! So I recommend signing up for their Toast account.

The quinoa bowl was so good and light, nice and healthy--it gave me a good idea to recreate this to eat for breakfast

Went for an early breakfast before hitting the road after spending the weekend in Cambridge for the Sea Gull Century. Service was friendly, upbeat, and fast. I was able to score a table outdoors and still receive full service. I went with the green giant omelet and was not disappointed...cheesy, fluffy, crispy bacon... would have loved even more asparagus. Their sides included a SINGLE PANCAKE and I appreciate this option on menus so very much. I washed it down with an oat milk dirty chai latte. Will definitely return.

When I arrived they let me know they wouldn't be able to seat me because I was one person. This didn't seem right, but I didn't argue. So, I asked if I could order something to go they said only pastries because kitchen was closing. It was 2:10pm and they close at 3:00pm. None of this made any sense to me.

Got a carrot cake slice and it was so delicious! Moist, dense, and you can clearly see the tiny carrot shavings. And that cream cheese... We had it with tea and it was soo sooo good. I wish I had more time and days there to try more cakes from them.

After enjoying a great vacation in Ocean City, we were driving home along the 50W. It was 10:30 am and we wanted to have a relaxed brunch.

My wife found this place on Google and decided to give it a try.

Super nice staff, good food, nice relaxed small town bakery and a coffee shop ambience! We ordered French toast and breakfast trio with house fries and biscuit as sides, and pancakes for kids. Food was great. I thought biscuit was a bit dry for sides but well, it's generally eaten with gravy, so should taste great with some gravy. Even the butter they gave was so delicious.

They gave us

I really love to support local businesses, but I don't think I would ever return here. The atmosphere is cute, the coffee was good, the food is just okay, and the service (from whom I presume to be the owner) is terrible. The attitude of the snooty woman at the register and her subtle passive-aggressiveness is enough to drive away our business.

This place is a gem! Definitely worth swinging by when you are on the Eastern shore. It's a convenient and short drive from the Blackwater national refuge and the Harriet Tubman museum and visitor center. The waitress was very nice and we appreciated the delicious coffee drinks.

We love coming to Black Water Bakery! Staff are always warm and welcoming. Food and pastries are so delicious! Homemade pop tarts are delicious. If your in town, you must stop in Black Water Bakery for some baked goods and coffee!

A cute little bakery in historic Cambridge.

I enjoyed my Mother's Day brunch at this bakery.

We got dirty chai, campfire hot chocolate and lemonade on the top of our meals which consisted of breakfast burrito, garden omelette, and kids breakfast.

Everything were really delicious!

Top notch service.

And today wasn't the first time I've been here. The last time I got their frozen hot chocolate and breakfast sandwich. They have not disappoint!

Well come back again!

Had one of the most amazing breakfast I've ever had here. Discovered this place on Yelp and having checked out their website, I made a reservation for the next morning. Thank goodness I did. This place gets busy and they have limited indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is super cute and inviting. So many delicious pastries and desserts to stare at. While service was a little slow, the food definitely makes up for it. We started off with brunch favorites, build your own mimosa and my partner had spiked coffee. I went with the grapefruit mimosa with blueberries. It was super tasty. Now on

Stumbled upon this place thanks to Yelp while staying nearby at the Hyatt. Phenomenal. Worth the trip off-property to explore the interesting downtown and to pop in for breakfast. Great service during covid with a reservation system. Came here both on Sat and Sun AM -- once for takeaway and once to sit down. Totally recommend it.

I stumbled (literally) upon this bakery and I am so glad I did!

When I walked in the smell of muffins, chocolate chip cookies, and baked goodness wafted up my nose and into my heart! To say I was overwhelmed with the smells would be an understatement - it was such a treat to walk into this spot!!!

I am not a coffee drinker so their signs explaining the differences was super helpful and I ended up ordering a specialty drink sans coffee and it was divine!

Next time I am in Cambridge, I will be stopping by for that carrot cake that looked delicious!!!

Stayed at the Hyatt by the Chesapeake and stopped by here for breakfast. Amazing coffee and food. Their chorizo tacos were great and was a great start to the day! Staff is young but friendly and professional. Definitely worth coming for breakfast and pastries if you're in the are!
