Crafting Fresh, Flavorful Delights Just for You

At The Black Forest, we believe great food starts with quality ingredients, a passion for the craft, and a commitment to doing things the right way—fresh, from scratch, and with care.

Whether you’re grabbing your morning coffee, picking up your favorite pastry, or sitting down for a cozy breakfast or lunch, we’re here to make you feel at home.

Meet the Owners

Rachel and Mikey are a husband-and-wife team, proud to carry on the tradition of this beloved bakery, café, and market across our two locations—including our original Riverwalk spot in Nashua and our second home in Amherst, NH.

Rachel has been baking for as long as she can remember. After earning a double major in Baking & Pastry and Entrepreneurship at Johnson & Wales, she followed her love of food all the way to Florence, Italy, where she immersed herself in the art of pastry and culinary tradition. Mikey’s background in business and hands-on work as a mechanic brought a practical, grounded approach to running a small business. Together, we bring heart, skill, and soul to everything we make.

We took over The Black Forest with a shared vision: to create a welcoming space filled with the kind of food that brings people together—freshly roasted coffee, pastries, and meals made from real ingredients, prepared with intention.

Our Coffee

We take pride in roasting our coffee weekly in small batches at our sister location, Riverwalk Bakery & Cafe, in Nashua, NH. Using a traditional Turkish drum roaster, Riverwalk ensures that every batch is crafted with care, highlighting the distinctive flavors of each coffee bean variety. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our partnerships with specialty coffee importers who share our passion for transparency and excellence. Sourced from the finest growers around the world, our coffee offers a fresh and exceptional experience with every cup.
