Black Fodder Coffee

We live four blocks away. So far my wife has been a few times and has liked the coffee so far. Yesterday we bought a slice of the "high protein choco cake" and today brought it to a family gathering for a member of our fam who has celiac and can't eat normal birthday cake. One of the absolutely worst things I have ever tasted in my life. Poor guy had 3 polite bites and pushed it away from him. I then tried it and couldn't believe it. For $10. Dreadful stuff. Then there is the name. "Fodder" comes from Old English meaning "food" but in modern use it means grain you feed to farm animals like horses and cows. On military requisition forms they would have bullet points for "x lbs of butter, x lbs of bread, x lbs of fodder, etc". In this context, fodder worked its way in to the term "cannon fodder" which described the front line or expendable troops you sent running in to the opposition to take the brunt of cannon fine. Basically, the term is used for a person or thing that is easily expendable or exploitable. To call a restaurant "black fodder" is insane to me. It's clear the intended reference is to a coffee being a staple thats also black but the cultural context is hard to ignore. I'm sure you guys are nice hardworking people but the cake and the name need second drafts.

Very tasty coffee and an incredible dessert without sugar and gluten, I recommend it!!! 🙏🙏🙏
