Saturday May 23rd a friend & I visited the Drive-thru location. Since this location on Commonwealth has been open, I have failed to go into the estab- lishment. My visit yesterday was a very PLEASANT experience. If U too have never gone into this location, it would be well worth your visit. Seeing all the fresh pastries & ice cream displayed gives a much needed boost!! Stop by S O O N read more

The variety at this place was just beyond five stars. The fruit tart was amazing, the almond croissant was light and fluffy, butterscotch bar amazing. I plan to stop by here again when we go through Bristol again in a few days! read more

Went again! So good! Get here. Perfect bakery vibes, excellent service, and absolutely delicious concoctions. All so tasty.

If you come to this area you will hear about this establishment. It 1000% lives up to the hype. The chess bars were to die for! Followed closely by the crème brûlée. Everything I took a taste of was delicious. It is an amazing building and the staff all need raises for their friendly demeanor and quick steps. Great if you need to take something to clients or need a spot to park and work with a sweet snack. read more

Pastries were delicious, especially the cheesecake bars. My husband got cranberry orange, and I got caramel apple. This place was busy! Right before Christmas rush, we were picking up some cakes for holiday gatherings. Took awhile for staff to find our pre-orders in the cooler. Lemon cake was my favorite over the strawberry but both were delicious! We did stay, but there looked to be plenty of seating for a cozy cafe place to relax. read more

This prominent shop is on the Virginia side of Bristol, in an area with small side streets and not a lot else around. It has two floors and offers tons of options. The ice cream is from a Roanoke area place; I didn't feel compelled to get it but it is high quality cream. The baked goods spread was indulgent. What these creations lacked in subtlety, they possessed in sweetness. I sampled a couple and shared the rest. The cookie covering on my oreo donut was a bit excessive. If you can find some balance and eat something less sweet as well, these are some nice-looking pastries. read more

I stumbled across this very quaint and cute local bakery! The minute I walked in, the aroma of all the pastries immediately hit me! The ambiance is very nice and inviting. There's also plenty of seating and parking, too! It's perfect for a cute date night or even a late night dessert with friends. The employees were super friendly and very patient with me as I browsed the entire selection of baked goods! The choices were numerous which made my decision so much harder! The bakery is open until late (10pm on a Wednesday!) and I arrived around 8pm, still having a wide variety of options to choose from. I decided on the delicious cinnamon bun that you see in the attached video, however the video does not do it any justice! It is EASILY the best cinnamon bun I've ever had. I also got a chocolate chip cookie. It's my go to whenever I'm trying a new bakery, I must try a chocolate chip cookie. It did not disappoint! It was the perfect amount of chocolate, very soft and oh so delicious! If you're ever in Bristol, VA or in the surrounding area, be sure to stop by and check these folks out, you'll be glad you did! read more

I've been to Blackbird so many times but wanted to finally write a review. Most recently I went a couple days before Christmas. Even with a line out the door, I was served quickly by friendly staff and they had plenty of baked goods in stock. I have never had a bad experience at Blackbird and everything always tastes so fresh and homemade. Plus sitting with some friends in a clean, warm environment makes it even better. read more

I bought sourdough bread that wasn't fully baked, and it was replaced with another loaf that wasn't fully baked. The doughnuts were not really fresh, and I would recommend Krispy Kreme! read more

Amazing selection of bakery items. I had the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was like a pocket sandwich. It was tasty. Ordered a dozen donuts to go and the variety was exceptional. Everyone was very friendly. It's located in an old Masonic temple. Inside there was plenty of seating. read more

Located in a wonderful vintage building in historic downtown Bristol, Tennessee, this is a must stop. I chose the special of the day , chocolate glazed doughnut with cream cheese filling and it was marvelous, great texture and fluffy. If I lived any closer this would be the end of any hope of sticking to a diet- everything looked amazing. read more

This is expensive for the area. However, the coffee is pretty decent and the bakery items, while really over-sweet, are pretty good. I would recommend this place. read more

Downtown location is a very enjoyable and cozy place. My experiences there have been a mixed bag though. It's def the highest end bakery I have found in the area. They have actual donut variety. Not just one batter or dough with different toppings like another local place. I haven't had any issues with the intended outcome of their products. It's one hundred percent real high end bakery. Once I got a strawberry filled donut and it was fermenting. The donut part seemed fresh enough so I suppose they just didn't pay attention to how old their tub of filling was. They may have been horrified to learn they had done this to a customer but I didnt give em the chance to respond. I just threw it out and got on with my day. The second negative was when I called and asked to order some fritters without glaze. I knew I'd have to wait for the next batch that was being made and told em that was fine. They wouldn't do it though. I don't know if they couldn't figure out how not to put glaze on something or just didn't want to bother. Mostly Ive been treated well when I walked in but I've never had a real bakery flat out refuse something so simple though. I haven't been back since. read more

The ice cream and desserts and coffee were the best we had ever had!!! Someone recommended we go here. So glad we did. We went to the original historic building in Bristol. They also have more of a drive-through scenario farther away in the town, but we appreciated the original one. read more

They had lots of choices and many things looked good. But honestly I don't think I choose the best. The smores bar was just okay. The cookies and cream cheesecake was decent. Inside is large and has lots of space. read more

One of my favorite finds since moving to this area and a favorite of my family's as well! Parking can be a pain some days but it's worth the couple trips around the block to find a spot. It's always clean, has a plethora of options, and the employees have always been polite and helpful when venturing into new tries. I also love the variety of seating they have and how easy it is to find your own corner to sit down, enjoy your treat, and unwind for a bit Personal Favorites: Dream Cake (strawberry especially; similar to a tres leches) and Tennessee Sweet Sourdough (Hawaiian Rolls meet Sourdough; my family all love this, its a race to who gets the first slice whenever I bring it back) read more

I found this bakery on a quick little weekend trip a couple years ago and I'm still thinking about it! So I will bribe anyone I know who will be going to Bristol to bring me treats back from Blackbird. Pictured is my latest haul of "bring me whatever looks good". A cherry almond filled donut, two yeast style glazed donuts, a cherry almond bar and an almond croissant. Not pictured was a blueberry lemon scone, apple fritter and lemon bar. I LOVE all things cherry and almond so that's part of my love for Blackbird, they always have several options in that flavor combo, which I find rare. The cherry almond filled donut is seriously sweet with the icing and filling so if that's not your thing, pass on it or eat half. The croissants are light, airy and flaky like a croissant should be. The bars are dense, moist and full of flavor with a great crumb topping. You could easily share one but why would you? A great little southern American bakery .... Sugary sweet read more

The store felt like a proper coffee shop. When you enter, it almost has a bookshop feel. The place was clean and had plenty of seats. There was a wide selection of "goodies". The donut twist was good. It wasn't great but it was good. We also sampled the carrot cake and a savory pocket. The coffee was good. It was the cashiers second day. She did a good job. She was knowledgeable on the items and was able to give us solid recommendations. Overall it was a nice experience. read more

Blackbird Bakery is a Bristol institution. We stopped in while visiting for the annual music festival last weekend. There was a line out the door (good sign) and for the most part, it was worth the wait. The pastries were next level. My wife said the maple glazed donut was the best one she has ever had - that's saying a lot! On the room for improvement side, the ice coffee was mostly milk and the latte was meh. I'd recommend this place for all things baked, but maybe get your coffee elsewhere. read more

My family & I visited while in town for a short trip. We ordered a variety of items from the menu. First the breakfast "nesties" we got the bacon, egg & cheese. These are very large and definitely shareable. I found them to be good but a bit too much cheese for me and they need to be eaten right away bc once they sit for a while they can be a bit greasy. For sweets we tried a few of their donuts--pumpkin, blueberry, red velvet, apple fritter, Bavarian cream and caramel frosted! All were delicious, fresh and well worth it! We washed it all down with a simple drip coffee that was fresh & better than Starbucks by far. Only reason for 4 stars would be the service. Most employees were pleasant and helpful but one seemed annoyed we were even there. Definitely worth taking the trip to visit this place! It is in a very cute historic looking building with plenty of seating! read more

The interior is nice and it has a big spacious place to eat. I did not like any of the bakery items whether it is the cookie, muffin or the scone. People have different taste, so it can't be helped. There's an awesome restaurant across the street for dinner if you are in their area. Staff members are very polite and nice though. read more
