Blackwatch Cafe
239 Arthur Ave, Scranton, PA
Crema's Take
“Blackwatch's real superpower is its expansive outdoor seating overlooking the adjacent park—the kind of setup that turns a coffee run into a full afternoon hang. The seasonal espresso drinks are genuinely delicious and beautifully executed, though the food selection skews minimal if you're looking for anything beyond a pastry pairing. If you're visiting Scranton and want a genuinely charming spot that nails the coffee while offering rare outdoor breathing room, this is worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.

Such a cute place. Seasonal coffee was so delicious and cute. I was visiting family and can not wait to go back. It was pretty busy when we went but totally worth it!!
had time to kill and was delighted to find this coffee shop attached to the park! i got a tasty lavender iced coffee and took a short hike to the waterfall. i even sat back inside the shop to cool off in the a/c. i loved the vibe/atmosphere! felt like i was in a fantasy book!…
This is the cutest coffee shop I have ever seen and I live in NYC where there are hundreds of shops! The outside space is beautiful, facing the park, seating area was well spread out and it was such a cute place to sit and chat. The indoors was very nice and they have a bathroom…
Can’t say enough about this place. Every coffee we had was excellent, hot and cold. We tried three of the Easter blends and they did not disappoint. Will definitely be back every time I go to visit my daughter at college. Props to the owner on the decor. Would love to replicate…
Loved it, but I wish they had more sandwiches, esp warm ones, and such. There were refrigerated sandwiches available (2 options) but nothing else. I'd also enjoy more plain old teas. My spiced chai was quite spicy. Very cozy atmosphere and cute seasonal decorations. Will…
