Hear from our valued guests
I had the best coffee at blackbird cafe.. the manager Melissa made all the difference. She was so accommodating and kind and went above and beyond to make our experience a good one! Thank you Melissa, will be back for sure!
Not sure what people are talking about on here or maybe they’ve made significant improvements since these reviews because I’ve been there twice in the past week and a half and the food was great especially the breakfast burrito. Only issue they may have is the location as the plaza is not a very busy plaza and set way back. I don’t even think a lot of people in town know the place is there I just found it the other day. As for the prices yes, definitely on the pricey side, but food in general everywhere is so it doesn’t seem much different than anywhere else. We live in Massachusetts EVERYTHING is overpriced.
I got the bomb and it was the bomb! Great ingredients and perfectly put together. Toasted up nice and crispy it was absolutely delicious
The staff are super friendly! My group was staying in accommodation near this cafe and when Mellisa served us she took extra care to tell us about the transportation around the area which was greatly appreciated. We left the place with smiles on our faces and would recommend to anyone! People like that really make your morning a whole lot better!
Great antidote to chain coffee and food. Nice atmosphere and service. Food was nicely prepared and presented. Support small good businesses!
I recently had the blueberry pancakes which were excellent. Lots of blueberries, very large, crispy edges. I ate one, took two home and ate an egg on the side, cooked exactly as I requested. Today I got the breakfast sandwich on the Tuscan bread which is my go to. Very good! I was told the coffee is excellent. I prefer tea which is excellent. Highly recommend Blackbird Cafe in Bedford.
This is my first time visiting the blackbird cafe and I work down the street. The food, coffee, atmosphere, staff, large menu, it knocks any starbucks, Dunkins, or local shop out of the ballpark. I think the prices are fair, but keep in mind everything in the world is almost jacked up in prices. I’m definitely coming back here for another coffee or maybe a lunch wrap or a panini!
When I first walked in, I had expected just another normal cafe. But then… Ethel Cain’s angelic voice carried down to me from above as I sat in a booth. Not only is Ethel Cain— my niche!—playing over the speakers in this establishment. But the ice in my friends water was so stupendous and impeccably crunchy. I think the one thing you can integrate into your service is booths closer together. I felt like i was an ocean apart from my companion. Thank you.
I came in here with my boyfriend after walking in and out of two other coffee shops in the surrounding area. They were just too complicated. However, we saw this place and decided it was where we’d settle for. Soooo happy we ended up here. It is pricey but definitely worth it. Food cooked to order, tastes fresh & coffee made exactly as asked. There were no mistakes made and overall very pleased with everything. Very nice workers here and not to mention our entire order came out in less than 10 minutes. Great place! I ordered the northender w/ bacon, and the Valentine’s Day special which was a strawberry mocha, I got it as a large w/ almond milk 1/2 sweetened. My boyfriend ordered a classic BEC on sesame bagel & a red eye.
Cam and Amanda are proof that great customer service still exists! They were so friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food and coffee were also delicious so shout out to the chef as well! I got the chocolate chip pancakes and oat milk cappuccino. I’ll definitely be back and tipping 20% every time!
