Highly Problematic!

Where do I start. I cannot believe that in 2017, racist and outdated expressions like "black sheep" are still in use, especially for a business name! Shame! It's not "edgy", it's not "cool", and it's definitely not okay to make light of POC's everyday plight of living in a white supremacist society. They don't need to be told, or reminded, that they're "black sheep".


Why even have vegan options when the coffee is probably sourced from literal slave labour from a child somewhere in the third world? Like don't even pretend to be a nice caring person at that point.


The staff as well as the people that frequent the B.S.L. are not very diverse, either. Maybe the owner could hire a Syrian refugee or two to make up for it?

Pros: Serves as an example of how NOT to run a business

Cons: Outdated/Racist, Child/slave labour coffee, Not diverse

I honestly don't know where to begin with this review, I've never seen such a prime example of blatent ignorance in my life. First of all I assure you their name has nothing to do with race or white supremacy, I'm not sure where you're drawing that inference from either? As well, their coffee is fair trade if you would could get your facts straight. & Lastly it's a family run restaurant.. I'm sorry their family and customers aren't as "cultured" or "Diverse" as you had hoped they would be. I like to think everyone is entitled to their opinion except for you and your uneducated biased view of the world, This is a great family run business with great coffee and healthy vegan/vegetarian options. Check your facts before you write something next time please.

Dear (obviously) sheltered white girl. Really you don't sound like you are too informed about the subjects at hand. Besides that, I know that people now like to act like they are so concerned about non-white culture, but lacking the personal experience yourself, I am assuming, makes you just as ignorant. Plus, unless you frequent this café 24/7, I highly doubt you know the ethnic makeup of the clientele. It is judgement that makes us all blind, check yourself.
