Amazing pastries! Top drawer quality... really. You could serve these pastries in a cafe in Paris, and no one would blink. Service is frustrating. Looks like the bakers are also working the counter, and seem pretty distracted, so one star deduction for that, but if you can adopt a zen attitude, the pastries are to die for. read more

My brother had a Red Velvet cake made by Blackbird for his wedding this past weekend and it was great!!! Don't forget them when it comes to your cakes for your next party! read more

My family loves this little slice of Heaven here in downtown Bristol TN/VA. They have a good selection of doughnuts, both yeast and cake, as well as a wonderful offering of other deserts and pastries. My favorites are the individual cheesecakes and the cherry almond bars. We have also made it a tradition to get their mini-pies on 3/14 to celebrate Pi Day! They also have great homemade breads. The cheddar jalapeno bread is terrific. It's a quaint little place right off State Street with plenty of seating to stop and enjoy something sweet. read more

One word WOW! Great bakery goods, coffee and open 24 hours, except Sunday. You will not be disappointed. Voted best bakery I'm Virginia!

Great bakery in Bristol. Everything is delicious! I've had the tiramisu, banana pudding, different cakes, and doughnuts.

Blackbird Bakery is a real treat. They offer a great venue to visit with friends - an excellent environment for those of us who are not that interested in night clubs. The pastries and ice cream are great and the employees are friendly. I would give Blackbird 5 stars if parking was a little better. read more

We drove to Bristol just to go to the Blackbird Bakery!! I am going to post a pic but the assortment was enormous and everything fresh and delicious! If you ever in the Johnson City/Bristol area, don't miss this one! Also- the hot chocolate was great! read more

Blackbird Bakery - Blackbird bakery!!! - Donuts Near Me - Bristol, Virginia

See all

I am guessing Bristol doesn't know how to Yelp.....yet. This is a fantastic bakery--I live in the DC area and there is nothing that compares! I have wished for a European style bakery somewhere but I did not expect to find it in the Tri-Cities of Tennessee. The doughnuts are way better than Krispy Kreme and the eclairs are divine--not too sweet and there is a good custard(!) filling rather than some sweet fake cream. There are so many things I want to try.... and so little time. Keep on keeping on Blackbird! read more

Blackbird Bakery is a great little place! The stunning space takes you back in time with gorgeous hardwood floors, a tall staircase, and beautiful furnishings. I came here with six family members, and it was a great place to spend time together. I ordered a very tasty mocha along with a decadent chocolate peanut butter layered bar. Mmmm mmm! I'll definitely be requesting to return to Blackbird the next time I'm in Bristol. read more

Yummy! This place is a winner for sure! I don't know where to begin but everything is so delicious! Such a wide selection to choose from! I can never decide on just one thing and usually end up with multiples The atmosphere is so quaint and perfect for this jewel in Bristol! read more

So so good! The macaroons were amazing. The cosmopolitan was delicious. I wouldn't order the mint brownie again.

We're not in Bristol often but when we are we make sure we stop by and get something from his place!! Cupcakes, doughnuts, cheesecake whatever you want is here! It's usually busy but open 24 hours, don't leave Bristol without going by here first read more

Like finding the Cake Boss right there in TN ... neat little spot that has a ton of variety of desserts, coffee, and snacks. Large space that is set up with tables, sofas and chairs so you can grab a bite and then take a load off for a while. Very quiet so you can get in a conversation with no problem. read more

Yummiest iced coffee and their donuts are so fresh and taste amazing (I had the strawberry glazed). If you happen to be in the Bristol area this place is a must try! read more

Such a great experience! I really want to go back to this place. My bunch went pretty late on a week night to avoid the winding line of people you will generally encounter there. I got a little chocolate tart. Delicious. My husband got some apple fritter ice cream dish, also good. I bought some French macarons too, which it is difficult to find good ones. They don't make them in-house but they were still so so good. I think the French macarons are the only thing they don't make in house. Highly recommend! read more

Geez. Where do I start. Fresh great ingredients and great bakers are a combo for success.

This place is absolutely AMAZING. everything they make will knock your socks off. It is a true treat for you taste buds

The store is very clean,the staff are professional yet friendly and helpful. The food is second to none.Try the chocolate truffles they are awesome. The Bavarian cream doughnuts are oh so good also. read more

Love coming to the blackbird. Always fresh and a good place to satisfy your sweet tooth.

I just spent over $45.00 for 10 Strawberry Delight desserts for a dinner party. Could not believe that the desserts had no Cream Cheese filling!!! All 10 consisted of a Graham Cracker Crust, Cool Whip, the 1/8 Strawberry Gel coating and a dollop of Whip Cream w/ a Strawberry! Terrible embarrassment for me after all the hype I gave my guests about the desserts. Absolutely no quality control is taking place at this Bakery for this happen! Needless to say, I will be calling the Bakery to express my amazement and dissapointment! read more

OMG!!!!! OMG!!!! OMG!!!!!! I'm visiting a friend in Bristol, and was dishearten to not even see a Starbucks in the area, so I was stuck with diner and Waffle House coffee. Walking in I fell In love with the atmosphere, and the case full of wonderful delights, but I was there for donuts and more importantly the espresso!!! We got in line which led to a bit of confusion about how to order, and got to see all the sweets down the case and the donuts as well, and finally my chance to order a latte was upon me. My big and really only problem with this place is that you order you wonderful beverage of caffeine at a place that's separate from the actual place it's made, and thus the ingredients of said coffee goodness which left me blank on my latte type and running around to figure it out. The donuts were beyond amazing, at first they seemed a bit odd, but so very very very worth it, and the latte (delivered by a fellow nerd) was amazing and exactly what I needed like I read my mind. read more

Blackbird Bakery - A view of some of the goodies in the case - Donuts Near Me - Bristol, Virginia

Not enough help line was to long, I walk around the block took about 15 min, when I got back the line was still not moving. Will not go back

I live in Abingdon, When I do go to bristol ,I make it a point to Go to Blackbird Bakery. Their cinnimon rolls are to die for, I always bring home a dozen doughnuts, glazed and chocolate covered glazed. This is the best bakery in my opinion, The staff is very very friendly, give you the Back in the day feeling. love it read more

This place is incredible....Any hour of the day I can come here and get a smile, a coffee and a baked good to ease the labors of the day. One day when I was there, Mamma Molasses was crooning her tunes and it made the place magical! I love to sit outside and eat a warm cinnamon roll in the middle of the night.....delightfully decadent! Try the tiramisu, cinnamon roll........and the cheesecakes! Bon Appetite! read more

Blackbird Bakery has an amazing selection with a relaxed atmosphere. I recommend the cookies and cream mini cheesecake. It's very worth the price. The only downside is parking, but it's not horrible. read more

Went here the other night and got a banana puddin cup. Amazing pudding is all i gotta say! The building aas really nice outside and on the inside it was really beautiful! It wasnt like the normal hipster stuff, it had a nice southern charm to it! Ill def be coming back in the future! read more

My first trip to the Blackbird. I had a selection of goods to eat there and took a few with me. All were excellent. I will be back.

By far, best bakery in the area. We love EVERYTHING there. Everything you get from here will be delicious. I love their key lime cheesecakes. Also the donuts are fantastic. read more

Their latte and espresso drinks were decent. We ordered a mini cheesecake, tiramisu, and lemon bar. The cheesecake was barely edible and not at all worth it. The tiramisu was ok but probably also not worth it. The lemon bar was probably the best out of the three, though it was too sweet. All in all, we should have just gone to Starbucks. read more

I'm from LA and was visiting for the holidays. We don't even have a bakery this good in all of LA. Missing it already. Any of the cake donuts would be my choice. read more

Yum and yes! If you're in town vacationing or a local - this is the best bakery in town. I was lucky enough to be out for the race earlier this year and got our group a ton of goodies - so yes, I pigged out! From their donuts (cookies and cream) to their cream-heavy cupcakes and their pastries, we loved everything. Good coffee too. Definitely a place I would check out for a morning pastry and some work. There is street parking and even though I had a navi system with me, I drove by it the first time. Good pastries , a little on the pricey side (but they also have a monopoly on fancy, baked goods) read more

There is no doubt that Blackbird Bakery has outstanding baked goods. To my dismay, I found that they are not dependable and very lacking in customer service skills. I ordered a birthday cake 1 1/2 weeks in advance. On the day the cake was to be ready, I made the drive from Johnson City to Bristol to take delivery only to find that they had not even made the cake. I was told that the cake order had gotten covered up on their order board. Naturally, I was upset, which was further compounded when there was no offer to correct the situation on their part. An "I'm sorry" is just not acceptable. Needless to same, I will not use Blackbird Bakery again. read more

Came into town on Saturday afternoon for a few treats. I previously lived in the area so I've had many visits to BB bakery. Today I picked up a banana pudding and a cheesecake. Both were almost room temperature, not cold at all. I think there may be an issue with the display case temperature or either the bakery is so busy, the case can't maintain proper food temps from being opened all day. I would highly encourage the owner to check the food temps of the cooler. I did not finish either item as warm cheesecake and banana pudding is pretty gross. read more

Great service. We've dealt with a peanut allergy for many years and with this being our first visit we weren't sure what to expect, but bakeries tend to be particularly risky. Sure enough there were several peanut butter items on display which ruled everything out for our son. He understands and is a good sport about it, but was still sad to not get to enjoy a donut this morning. The lady behind the counter, upon realizing the situation, offered to personally make a couple of donuts from scratch on the spot so that contamination wouldn't be an issue. In 8 years, I've never experienced this level of consideration and we were all beyond thrilled. Awesome service and everything we tried was excellent. read more

I loved everything we had! Do everyone a favor and get a dozen cake balls to share! I will definitely be back, wish they shipped out of state read more

Friends got us an anniversary cake a couple of years ago from here and it was a stand out creation. I have not tried the smaller delicacies but will soon. I will never waste money on the Kroger's bakery again. EVER. read more

Simply delicious, incredible selection of desserts, fabulous locally sourced coffee, nice atmosphere, free WiFi, open 24hrs. What's not to love? There's a long wait sometimes, but that's because it's amazing, and the line moves quickly. read more

Always on the to-do list to visit when traveling. Selections are great for any sweet tooth! This bakery isn't the cheapest, but you are paying for quality and the experience. To-go packaging is quality, and dine-in quality is simple and nice. Offers a student discount which me and my friends really appreciate! Will visit again! read more

I've tried just about every dessert they have to offer and I have never been disappointed. All of their desserts are always so fresh and delicious. My favorites are their crème brulee, cannoli's, and donuts. Also, I LOVE that they are open 24 hours. I'm a night owl, so it's nice to have a place to go pick up a cannoli or something sweet whenever i'm craving it. read more

Best blueberry donut in my life so far. Maybe 4 1/2 is more accurate. I've only been one time, but was not disappointed. Kim who was at the register (though she usually doesn't man that station) was jolly and helpful with a great laugh. She answered my questions about pricing and selection quickly and kindly. Great look inside. Neat display. Nice seating options: upstairs, downstairs, soft, hard, laid back, and study mode. Music was pleasant not to loud or soft. Ordered the blueberry, strawberry, and cream filled chocolate glazed donuts plus a parfait. Was almost knocked off my seat by the flavorful blueberry donut. The chocolate was rich and delicious. I didn't get to taste the strawberry because it was gobbled up by my son when I wasn't there, but my wife said it was as good as the blueberry... wait, why didn't she save me a bite? The yogurt parfait was really great too. The granola was sweet and maybe honey flavored. It mixed well with the yogurt. The fruit was surprisingly fresh, plump, and sweet. The raspberry was what a raspberry should be like...I wonder where they got them from that day??? Everything looked great. I like my café au laity with a little more punch, and regular coffee was bit light, but it balanced well with the sweets. This place is a gem. read more
