Black Bear Cafe

Black Bear Cafe Named after a local legend, we are an independently owned cafe located on the main street of Belmont, MA.

We serve coffee from Recreo Coffee Roasters out of West Roxbury, MA which is a small, family owned company whose coffee is single origin, and 100% fair trade from Nicaragua. Our tea comes from MEM Tea, a local tea company out of Watertown, MA. We also sell various bakery items from Danish Pastry House (Watertown, MA), Nashoba Brook Bakery (Concord, MA) and Pain D'Avignon (Hyannis, MA). We also sell juices and milks from other local farms, as well.
