Black Sheep coffee creates comfortable atmosphere
Black Sheep Coffee is a small cafe in downtown Harrisonburg. Not only does Black Sheep sell coffee but small pastries, baked goods and t-shirts. Katie Schmid is a barista at Black Sheep and spends most of her time taking orders and preparing drinks.
“…[Working at Black Sheep] is a lot of fun, I’m glad I did it,” Schmid said.
The shop has lounging areas, places to sit, and as a customer said, “A wonderful atmosphere.”
This shop may be small, but on the inside there are many things to buy and a nice space to focus or relax.
“Another cool part about this place is that it draws every age group,” Schmid said.
The simple black coffee at Black Sheep is only $2.50, allowing anyone to walk up to a small table and add anything you like, from creamer to sugars for a very low price. Schmid feels Black sheep coffee is differentiated from other coffee shops by the large amount of options provided for the customer.
“I think the variety of [items] we have[make us different from other coffee shops]. The bakers have a lot of [recipes] for what they can make and so we have [a constantly changing menu],” Schmid said.
