The Heart Behind The Black Cat

At The Black Cat, breakfast isn’t just a meal—it’s a passion, a craft, and a way to bring people together. Owners Lauren Belo and Quentin Hill started in the restaurant industry as dishwashers, working their way up to line cooks before deciding to create something of their own. Tired of late-night kitchen shifts and ready to focus on fresh, from-scratch cooking, they made a vow: mornings only. That promise led them to open The Black Cat, a cozy breakfast restaurant and bakery where creative sandwiches, house-made breads, and freshly baked treats bring people together every day.

With a menu built around bold flavors and thoughtful pairings, The Black Cat serves breakfast classics with a twist. From hand-shaped English muffins to unexpected ingredients like apple slices and maple chili mayo, each sandwich is carefully crafted to balance comfort with creativity. And of course, no morning is complete without something sweet, so they bake fresh muffins and cookies daily—perfect alongside a cup of coffee. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or lingering over a leisurely breakfast, The Black Cat is a place where good food and great company always come together.
