Black Walnut Bakery Cafe - Wortley Village

Black Walnut in Wortley Village exudes a warm, rustic charm with exposed brick and comfortable seating that makes it ideal for a productive work day. The best seating areas for work are near the large front windows for natural light or the quieter back section. Their coffee is consistently robust and high-quality, complemented by an array of freshly baked pastries, sandwiches, and light lunch options.
