I really wanted to give this place a chance. I ordered a iced mocha that tasted like a chocolate mudslide shake and iced latte that was just milk in a cup. Both drinks didn’t have any trace of coffee/espresso (that I could taste). It’s a nice little coffee shop with a upbeat vibe but the drinks are lacking. The pastry’s are good though and the employees are nice. I hope this helps the business, they have potential.

Great place but was receiving deliveries and was pressed for space inside. Seemed like delivery was having trouble just getting in the door. Service was good but server seemed bit stressed over delivery and from the sound of her responses was trying her hardest not to get upset. We sat outside and received our food which was great! I ordered the croissant with ham and cheese and was delicious! Aside from delivery and all it was worth it!

Had a great time at Black & Bitter because my Vanilla Chai was delicious! Plus, their is a curated selection of books that I enjoyed sifting through as my latte was being made.Service was quick and the guy that made my coffee to me about an poetry night that is once per month and other local events they host.The location is very nice because there are options for indoor and outdoor seating. Ill definitely be back.

I go to a lot of coffee shops and I have to say that Black & Bitter is my favorite one. The taste of the coffee is absolutely fantastic and is never overly sweet, and it’s never as crowded as other shops. The pastries are to die for. The patio is relaxing to be in when the weather allows.The owner is nice and attentive.5 stars.

Best coffee shop!! Def recommend to all my coffee lovers! & pastries are just as delicious!

Well the coffee is good but one thing they are more expensive then Starbucks!!

Brian is wonderful being sure each guest is taken care of. From the awesome flavored coffee to the delectable sweet treats Black and Bitter is the place to go

Barista was very good at explaining the menu. Tiny little coffee shop. There was art for sale on the wall. Not much seating inside, but there is a large shared outdoor space with seating.

Black and Bitter sells Vegan Beef Jerky! It is really good! My favorite is the Smoked Black Pepper.

What a cute and REFRESHING addition to this side of town! The menu has some really great options - hot and cold drinks (dulce de leche is my current favorite) and pastries (so good) and it seems like theyre always adding new varieties. Its pretty tiny inside BUT the outside patio area is expansive, and can accommodate quite a few people, even in covid19 social distancing times. highly recommend. I really wish they were open later!

Loved this place since it first was opened here. Great spot very cozy, welcoming staff. The drinks are great, the cinnamon rolls and croissants are good but Ive been a little disappointed as of recently. The few times Ive been able to go recently my coffee has been room temperature when I receive it and when I asked for peppermint mocha it just tasted like milk and not any peppermint, chocolate or coffee taste. :(

Cute place with great service… quality product!

Alexa, I think I spelled her name right, has great customer service. It was very clean and the salted caramel latte and cinnamon roll I had were both tasty.

Black and Bitter has become my familys go-to spot. From monthly sister-brunch to mom and daughter coffee to First Fridays supporting local musicians and artisans, I cant imagine Duncanville without this community hub. HUGE PROPS to the business owner for pivoting to meet the needs of the community during COVID (everything from sourcing toilet paper to groceries and a delivery service) and for redesigning their set up to make transactions safe for the community.I also have to mention that they have been uber transparent on social media about how they are navigating the crisis, and this has made me trust the establishment even more.Protips:1) Plan to sit outside! Really lovely shaded outside area, which is dog friendly.2) DO splurge on the croissants, danishes, or any other pastries they have on hand. You wont regret it. :)3) Buy books here! If youre like me, youre looking for ways to purchase from small businesses in your community rather than Amazon/other big corp... check out their shelves! Other items (candles, coffee, merch, etc., all local) are also available - great for gifts.

I love their old fashion caramel latte! 😍

This is a great Coffee Shop with great customer service!!!😁

Quaint setting with good coffee (Counter Culture) and interesting book selection. Ample parking. Drinks only appear to be available in 16 oz. size 🤔

I adore this place! Coffee is delicious and the Churro Cruffin is my #1 cheat food.

I went in for the first time for a strong morning expresso. The peppermint mocha was full of flavor and smooth, delicious. Such a cute & welcoming vibe. Loved the variety of diverse books and the small sale options from other local businesses (candles etc.) This is my new local go to for coffee.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at open mic poetry night. 😃The atmosphere was positive and coffee was fresh, hot, and amazing.I will definitely be back, and I just might have a poem.😉

This little coffee shop is great. The service is great and the coffee and specialty drinks are top notch. I love the outdoor seating option.

Delicious coffee, amazing pastries from La Casita Bakery, and some of the nicest people and best service Ive ever met! 11/10, will be back ASAP 🤍

Its open from 8:00 to 5:00 on Saturday and Sunday the rest of the week its open till 2:00 but its personalized service and they never really get crowded. Prices are modest.

Quality drinks. Always a friendly encounter and an welcoming environment. Usually a film is showing on the wall/ literature on the book shelves for purchase to browse while you wait.

Came to meet a friend and gained anew place for amazing coffee/tea and the liveliest books! Its definitely a hidden gem! Go and sit outside on the patio! They even have mist fans to help keep cooling his Texas heat!

I try to support local coffee shops instead of Starbucks, but prices here have gotten absolutely insane. Two small coffees and two pastries cost me $25. Let’s be real, this is not Highland Park

Love their coffee, they use counter-culture which is a really good roastery on the east coast. Wish they had more indoor seating, but still the best coffee shop in Duncanville

Everything was just perfect! The chocolate croissants were sooo delicious 😋 and the lavender&honey drink hot was soo good too! Customer service was beyond the best would 10/10 recommend coming here !!!

Excellent coffee shop, love the vibe! Perfectly placed in down town Duncanville right next to some great restaurants :)

Top notch coffee, espresso and pastries. Super hip spot with music videos playing on a projector inside and outside is a huge outdoor shaded seating area with a nice water fountain

Black & Bitter has become like a second home for me and my friends to get together and has played a huge part in kickstarting my music career by allowing me to play gigs at their First Friday events. Thanks for all the wonderful coffee drinks and good vibes! 💛💛💛

Love love love this place. It’s uniquely Duncanville. The owner and the baristas are all wonderful, and the coffee is good. I wish there was more space inside, but i still enjoy it. The outdoor seating is also very nice.

Phenomenal coffee, interesting flavors, CBD infusions, delicious pastries and fantastic employees. Plus they are involved in the local community and feature local authors, poets and musicians. Duncanville lucked out with this gem

Great atmosphere, staff, and coffee!

Very nice spot. Super relaxed and comfortable. Their coffee was great as well. Just an all around great place to visit and mellow out. Im totally gonna visit again and take my laptop and get some work done while sipping on their coffee.

This is a great local place with really tasty coffee. The staff is always friendly and makes my coffee perfect everytime.

Good coffee, but $5.95 for a vanilla latte is way too much. Plus it automatically adds a tip. So I ended up paying $6.78 for a latte. It’s not THAT good, that’s crazy. Take off the automatic tip, if I want to tip, I will. Now I’ll never return.

The drinks were great!!! Prices fair, and tastes better than Starbucks.

A little small but definitely rocking the space. Very relaxed, super friendly, and obviously community oriented. Plenty of options, great coffee, pastries, and local books. Definitely worth the stop.

The owner is amazing and so down to earth. He is right there along side his staff showing pride in his operation. Great job.

Coffee, community, books...... whats not to love? Amazing people doing great work for the community in these strange days.

Great coffee shop! Very friendly staff and the nitro cold brew is incredible. Their house cocktail specialty coffee drink are wonderful as well.

Ive Only BEEN once Had Too or 3 This is an AWESOME Local coffee shop!

Love this place. Great coffee and pastries plus an excellent selection of books. The people and the laid back atmosphere are the cherry on top.

Chill coffee shop with a cool and relaxing vibe. Coffee was great, i had the campfire smores latte i wanna come back and try their other specialty drinks. The barista Tristan is freaking awesome and nice. Wish it was closer to where i live.

I love this place. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy, the barista was friendly and welcoming. Coffee great! I will return.

Good coffee and quick service. The best is the outside seating and the convenience of having multiple outlets for charging. Tree shade is beautiful too. Wifi ✅

Small local shop in the heart of Duncanville. Its easy to miss though. You have to get out of your vehicle to find it.

The best coffee! Unique coffee menu, excellent variety, and a perfect cup every time!

You can not go wrong getting coffee here. They have so many different kinds and the menu does change with the seasons. Also do not pass up on the pastries as they are phenomenal.

Coffee was ok. The pastry I received was bland.

Great coffee and a very relaxing atmosphere. The caramel old fashioned coffee is incredible.

Lovely spot!! Coffee is delicious! Its quiet and gives you that big hometown feel.

This place is great. Their drinks are delicious and original. Im thinking of ordering something right now.

Yes!!!! Best Coffee shop in the area. Lovely sitting area outside!

Quality place. Coffees and teas are excellent! The croissants are soo good!! Churro croissant is the best!

Great environment. Alison and Abriana are fantastic baristas!!

Friendly and prompt service, enjoyed the carrot cake and rumpkin spice, wife enjoyed the Churro Cruffin.

Love the coffee here. Wish they were open at 6

I have been here a bunch since it opened and I love this place. The rumpkin is so gooooood!

Amazingly unique small town coffee shop. This is the type of place where community happens.

The pastries are nasty. The coffee is over priced. Coffee is cheaper at Starbucks.
