I visited this spot on a busy Wednesday morning. The nice perk of this spot is the amble parking which is a rarity in Lakewood. The shop was busy but the workers moved the line quickly. I tried the Red Eye cold brew with an added espresso shot and ate the chocolate croissant and ham & cheese croissant which was delectable and satisfying. If I lived closer I certainly would be a regular but if I am in the area I will have to visit again. read more

We were excited to try this coffee shop with bakery. We ordered our one drip coffee and one bittersweet mocha. The coffee tasted a bit bitter and possibly sat in the pot for a while. I exchanged it for lavender honey. That one tasted like plain hot milk.. There was no hint of coffee at all.. the bittersweet mocha tasted like bitter cocoa. No hint of Coffee and that one either.. needless to say this will not be a place we will revisit. Although the bakery looked good we did not try it. They do have a lot of different kinds of bread, French bread and baguettes so maybe that's where they get their high reviews but it's definitely not from their coffee.. the service was nice though because they did offer to exchange my coffee for something else and I appreciate that very much. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I do love how quaint and cozy this place is it's not really big. It's just really nice and there's also an outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have wanted to try this popular bakery and Cafe out for a while but never made it out before today. I wasn't able to try their famous chocolate chip cookie as they were all sold out when I stopped by at 2:30pm on a Sunday afternoon. I ended up buying a peanut butter cookie instead ($1.85). It was big and tasty and I could tell it was homemade. I hope to stop by again soon to try their famous cookie and perhaps bring home a loaf of bread but none of the loaves they had left today spoke to me. Overall, I had a good experience and was happy with the friendly service I received. read more

I'm new to the area and volunteered to bring cookies to a retirement party for one of my employees. I googled "best cookies west side of Cleveland" and Blackbird Baking popped right up. Wow - were they correct! The cookies were a hit and unbelievably delicious. I "may" have needed to try one on the way to work, you know for "quality control". Everyone at the party asked where they were from! Thank you for providing quality and delicious cookies for a special day! read more

I was on the hunt for a solid bakery option after an early morning car appointment when I stumbled on Blackbird Baking Company. Early enough, I chose to order online and wait for some of their options only available after 9am, and boy was it worth it. Blackbird has some of the most reasonable of pricing when it comes to freshly baked goods I have ever seen. Their assortment of croissant flavors, bread types and forms, cookies and more is unreal. Mixed with the low cost and deliciousness of their product, it is hard to beat. They also have smalls (!) of some of their loaves and focaccias-and this single person is beyond content at the option. I treated myself to a variety of goods including a ham and cheese croissant, olive and feta focaccia, coconut macaroons, french rustic dinner rolls, and a small brown levain loaf. Everything was great, my only caveat being I wish the focaccia wasn't so crunchy and had a bit more toppings. I suggest ordering ahead, besides the website making it super easy to use, the line outside and quickish sellouts will make you want to guarantee your goods. I also have a hard time working under pressure in front of a glass of pastries for choosing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a large parking lot, cute patio space at the entrance and sizable seating inside, though it can get loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't wait to go back and check more offerings out! read more

This was my first time stopping into Blackbird Baking Company, and I enjoyed my time in the cute cafe/bakery coffee shop. The menu for drinks was fairly limited but the classics were there for sure. I tried an iced americano (not pictured) and the flavor of the espresso was really nice, after trying the cappuccino as well I had wished I ordered a hot drink because those looked really delicious. the only thing I did not love was that they gave the iced coffee in a hot cup and i am not sure if they offer glasses for cold drinks, i forgot to ask but it is not the end of the world! :) we had gotten there about 1.5 hours before they closed so the bakery items were limited, and I was bummed because I have heard such great things about the bakery items so I will have to stop back in. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious, I could appreciate the crisp on the outside and the soft gooey inside with lots of chocolate. I also tried a bite of the peanut butter cookie, it was good but not as good as the chocolate chip. The staff was friendly and there was a pretty decent size seating area, but I can definitely see how it gets very packed on weekends. they also offer a station with half/half, milk, honey, simple syrup, cinnamon, coco powder, and some other options in order to add to your drink if needed which was really nice. overall, good experience and I look forward to coming back earlier in the day to be able to try their other options! read more

Everything is DELICIOUS! Even the dog biscuits (ate one on a dare). A real boulangerie!

Coffee is great, too! Tried a muffin for the first time -- cherry chocolate. Straight up deloyshus :-D

Yummmmm is all I can say about the peanut butter cookie! Also ordered and iced vanilla coffee - which was just ok. The place was packed on a Friday morning but the line went pretty quickly, and the employees were super friendly. Ample parking and ample seating! All of the goodies looked so delicious and lots of bread choices. I will definitely be back! read more

I visited Blackbird Baking Company at 11:00a on a Thursday and the dining area was full and there was a line out the door. My visit was part of a Yelp Elite event. Even the outdoor seating was busy. You could tell this is a place where the community members meet. It appeared several people new one another, but did not come together. A group a bikers arrived from the Metroparks and took advantage of the bike parking. Overall it was a cute neighborhood hangout. They had a large menu of baked good and even had dog biscuits. I took two dog biscuits home to our dogs and they loved them. The chocolate chip cookie lived up to it's reputation. I ordered a Oatmilk latte and appreciated it was in an eco-friendly cup. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would like to return and try additional baked goods. read more

Whenever we are in town we stop at this small place by where we are staying. I quickly decided that their croissants were my favorite. They often sell out before we get there. The next time we asked if they made them or if somewhere else did. That is how we learned of Blackbird. On this most recent trip we decided to stop in at Blackbird. Besides the plain Croissants which I love. Buttery and flakey inside with nice texture on the outside. They have a variety of other flavors. I'm a huge Almond Croissant fan. They have a lot of different Breads, Pastries and Sticky buns. As well as Muffins, Cookies, Scones. Thirsty after all that snacking you can get your coffee fix. They have Cappuccino, Espressos, specifically drinks and Tea. We tried a Chocolate Chip cookie as well. Which was honestly one of the best we both have had in a long time. Oddly enough the only negative was that it had too much chocolate. We both agree it would be better with less. I know ........ who ever thinks that let alone says it out loud. It also had a sprinkle of salt which helps to balance out the sweetness. My husband says it got better the more he ate. read more

Their scones are tasty and buttery and their coffee is surprisingly good. I would say if you're going on a Sunday morning, expect a long line out the door. read more

Never disappoints. Croissants, cookies, pastries of all sorts. Perfect hot cocoa made with real chocolate. Plus they have all sorts of bread! Today, I met up with a great friend and had a wonderful time. It was their second time and they were truly impressed. We'll both be back! read more

Their baked goods are absolutely amazing but every time I've gotten coffee I've been disappointed in it and haven't finished it.

Came to Blackbird for a Yelp event but was really pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it!! The baristas are so friendly and the general vibe is homey and cozy. There is plenty of seating with outlets, making it a great place to study. I got a chocolate chip cookie for free through Yelp and it was so delicious. I'll be buying another on my way out. read more

I've been intrigued and obsessed with this place ever since a coworker ordered breakfast for a company meeting earlier this year. I got to check it out in person today since I just happened to be in the area. There is a free and spacious parking lot! The eat in area is so pleasant and large! The pastries here are out of this world. I'm not a donut or bagel person and much prefer European pastries. Need this place out East! The sticky bun is rather just a flaky pastry of goodness. The croissants are gloriously puffy. read more

I recently came here for an event but I had to come back and get more delicious baked goods. I tried the ham and cheese croissant, the apricot scone, the pecan tart, the molasses cookie, and the coconut macaroon. The star of the show is the molasses cookie. Several years ago my grandmother passed away and every year for Thanksgiving she used to make molasses cookies. This is the closest thing I have ever tasted to her cookies and it brought back so many good memories. It was a delicious cookie and I can't wait to go back and buy more. The staff is so friendly, and definitely willing to help me find what I was looking for. They bake most items fresh every day and they definitely taste like it. I will be definitely making this a new staple and hopefully becoming a regular! They also make hot drinks, tea and coffee. They also sell local honey, jams, mustard's, and coffee. read more

The service here is great. If you're new, they take the time to explain items to you and staff also provided recommendations. Their chocolate chip cookies are something serious. Chocolate quality is a 8/10, good chocolate in the chips. I like that salt as well. Their pb cookies are *chefs kiss* read more

Nice big bakery and coffee shop with plenty of seating and outlets for your electronic devices. They have great prices for baked goods and it's professionally crafted as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We were sad to see the options for pastries were limited because we arrived late in the day so next time we will have to get there earlier. The coffee was great which is expected from the Rising Star coffee brand. We got the salted chocolate chip cookie and a coconut macaroon, both were baked perfectly. The music is super mellow and chill. Great place to have a conversation or get some work done. Definitely recommended if you want quality baked goods or craft coffee! read more

I went here once maybe seven years ago, and it was not good .... But I had a gift certificate, so I thought I'd give this place another try. It's amazing! I've been in twice in one week! I've had a maple latte and a London fog, both delicious. (They use rising star coffee if you're curious) I had a peanut butter cookie that was otherworldly! The almost cookie was just okay. The raspberry croissant was very flaky and tasty! I love that everything is made fresh every day. I love all the seating they have as well! The first time I went was on a Saturday afternoon and it was PACKED. I know it doesn't look like it from the pictures, but most people got their items to go. Service was SO FAST. My only complaint is, you can't really see that bakery items until it's time to place your order. So I was pretty stressed out with the pressure of the lines behind me while I was looking at all the choices! read more

We were headed to https://www.rivercolors.com/ and searched for "sourdough" nearby. We went in hoping for a loaf of rye but instead came away with possibly the best multi-grain sourdough we've ever enjoyed. #ibakesourdough The bakery was crowded by the crack staff kept the line moving and the customers happy. A wonderful happenstance to find this gem. read more

My go to pastry shop in Lakewood rocky river area. The croissant is SOOOOO flacky! It's probably one of their highlights. They are also known for chocolate chip cookies (that sprinkle of salt makes it so perfect). I believe Mondays are one of the days they offer cheddar chive biscuits which I absolutely love and wish they had it more often! read more

A good place for coffee and baked goods. Blackbird is the best bakery in Lakewood. It has freshly made coffee and whole baked loaves. Go early. They quickly run out of stuff. Coffee is always a must here. It has a pretty decent size menu. They have several non dairy milks like almond and macadamia among others. A latte is a safe choice. They also have many flavoring syrups. It's $3.95 for a medium. The baked items can vary. Sometimes they have sweets. Cookies are usually available. It's about $1.75 each. They always have bread and lots of it. It's about $5 for a loaf. These come in many varieties. Loaves include the typical ones like ciabatta and French. These can be ordered sliced or whole. In the morning they have more. There's usually scones of you're looking for a sweet treat. It smells like a classic bakery. Lots of freshly baked bread. They will slice any bread or you can order it whole. read more

This place is about 8 minutes from church. My husband and I decided to go check it out because it was in the Cleveland Bucket List book we have. Well now we have been here two weekends in a row because we didn't want to leave Lakewood without getting some baked goods for the week. It's really that good. We've gotten chocolate chip cookies and a peanut butter cookie. We decided that the chocolate chip cookie was elite. such a good chocolatey cookie with sea salt sprinkled on it. Soft and chewy. everything you want in a good chocolate chip cookie. We also got the ciabatta bread two weeks in a row. Slap some Kerigold butter on that when you get home and mmm you won't be able to stop eating it lol. I got a hazelnut latte here at the first week that I came and it was truly so delicious. Both times we've gone it's been a little bit busy but nothing too crazy. It's worth it! read more

My friend recommended this bakery to me if I was ever near Rocky River. It most definitely did not disappoint! I only got to try the ham and cheese croissant and raspberry jam croissant. I didn't even make it out of the parking lot before devouring them both in the car- if you can only get one thing, get that raspberry croissant!!! They also have a very extensive coffee/drink menu, and full bakery. next time I visit, i hope to pick up some loaves of bread for sure. read more

I ordered the raisin pecan levain loaf. I was excited to try it since it's hard to find raisin sourdough, especially ones that are whole wheat and free of added sugar. Unfortunately it did not have many raisins or pecans inside. Taste was like a regular sourdough bread. The staff was helpful answering questions about the ingredients in the breads. Cafe seating was nice as well. Overall would not be returning due to the product quality, I don't think it's worth paying extra for specialty bread as a treat if it's not much better than something I could buy from the store for cheaper. read more

If you're looking for the best bakery in the Lakewood area, Blackbird is your place. As soon as you walk in the building, anytime of day, you are greeted with the fantastic aroma of fresh baked bread and other pastries. Personally I am a sucker for the raspberry croissants and the pain au chocolat. It is the closest I can get to my French breakfast pastries without a flight over the Atlantic! As if the massive selection of delectable carbs weren't enough, the coffees and specialty drinks they offer are also quite tasty. A warm vanilla steamer on a brisk morning, paired with a raspberry croissant is the best way to start your day! read more

The line is out the door on a Sunday morning so that's your first sign that this bakery is worth the wait! Coffee, tea and pastries done right - I ordered a cortado and americano and both were excellent. The baked goods were a must, I had a cookie and a croissant. The parking lot in large for enough parking and there are benches outside for good weather. Inside the ambiance is low-key and advertises local businesses. I am looking forward to my next visit already! read more

I have to say their olive loaves are legendary. I've never had a bad coffee from here either. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I haven't taken the time to sit inside but the vibes inside are cute and they have tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cashiers have always been friendly. read more

The raspberry croissants are so amazing they sell out immediately, a crowd pleaser. They never sell out on the scones. Full trays leftover at close. I'm willing to change the rating if they are willing to recalibrate making more of what sells and less of what's wasted. I learned you can call ahead and they can set aside what you need if you can't get there until later in the afternoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's always a zoo there from open until 10.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Cute little bakery. They have a nice selection of bread, rolls and muffins and cookies. They also serve coffee and have some other non alcoholic beverages available.

Used to love Blackbird went at least once a week for several years sent all my friends ... then they discontinued 50% happy hour after Covid which i sometimes took advantage of and felt was a service to less well-off people.
