This has quickly become my new favorite spot for coffee! As soon as you step through the big wooden door, it feels like you are transported into the pages of a book! The staff is incredibly friendly and the coffee is phenomenal. Blackwatch is a great addition to our community, especially Nay Aug. Thank you!Parking: There are about four spots near the greenhouse. However, there is additional parking throughout Nay Aug Park. Just pay attention to signs as some areas are designated for hospital staff and the Everhart Museum.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of outdoor seating and space for children to hangout.Wheelchair accessibility: The lower parking area near the greenhouse has a paved walk way to the cafe. There is a slight incline.

Great place to relax, talk and have a snack during a walk in the park. They even have shelves of books to keep you entertained.

Coffee was decent. Barista was not well versed in specialty coffee offerings. Asked if they served a single origin coffee or espresso. Server shrugged, said she did it know and then pressured me to just decide upon which drink to purchase. The challenge here, is that the "boss or owner" was working in the back. She could have asked. So...customer service was not great. Latte was ok. Probably won't return.

Looking for a place to meet a friend for coffee, always looking for something different with good coffee. Jackpot! My third visit in 9 days. So cool, it's on the corner of beautiful Nay Aug park. Across from the Geisinger hospital and Everhart Museum. Maybe next time ill wear walking shoes and go for a walk....

This place is so quaint and unique. I hope it stays here for a very long time! Stopped in on Wednesday for a late lunch and coffee with my son. Just a beautiful setup!

Disappointing. The location is fantastic, and the ambiance is top notch. They did a great job designing the place.Unfortunately the service was bad and the coffee was even worse.The baristas appeared to have an elitist attitude, dismissing simple questions about the menu and acting like I should've already known the quality of their brand name options before walking up to the counter. Then, sadly, the mocha I drank was one of the worst I've ever had. It was chalky and watery for some reason.I really wanted to like this place, but probably won't be back.

Stopped here while passing through the area. Absolutely loved the vibe for the cafe and the surrounding park. We were able to take a stroll with our drinks afterward, which was very nice. The coffee was amazing, and I loved all the seasonal options. The smoothie was good as well. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I'm glad we made the detour.

Unique " Tavern On The Green ( ish) atmosphere right across from the greenhouse at Nay Aug Park. Great to sit out under umbrellas on a nice day. Limited menu, but very tasty.

The cafe is set in the middle of a huge park which makes for a beautiful place to grab some good coffee and okay food. Went with a pretty large group of friends so unfortunately we had a very long wait for our food and they also ran out of food (hot dogs… I mean come on, how do you run out of that).The coffee drinks were very tasty, the ambiance and character of the cafe itself was well thought out but the food was okay. Could possibly be better if they weren’t slammed by our large group!
