Not so hidden gem! We finished a hike in Evergreen and headed for brunch at Blackbird cafe. It was about 10am and we waited for an outside seat for about 20 minutes. They were busy but churning tables in and out. Limited parking is available in front but we did what most were doing, parked on the side of the road across from the restaurant. It was great to see how young people (teenagers and early 20 years olds) were working at this local spot. They were also doing an amazing job being attentive. We got the tea of the Tillman drink to soothe our thirst after a hike and the summer heat. It was tart but refreshing. I have never had a drink like it before. I highly recommend trying it. We ordered chilaquiles, breakfast burrito, and the mushroom omelette. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and came away full! If you're in the area around breakfast or lunch time, stop in. They have deserts and hand pies to-go. We didn't try them but they looked delicious. read more

Recently discovered this gem after moving back to CO and had to visit for a second time shortly after my first visit. SO GOOD. Food was amazing! Service was super friendly and fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant sits along a creek which provides a beautiful view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is very cozy and was perfect for my first rainy day visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside seating is nice and was great for enjoying the gorgeous weather on my second visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Doesn't matter if it's rain or shine, this place seems to stay busy so expect a short wait. Under 30 min, very reasonable. This will be a place I return to again and again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy little cafe in the mountain.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really enjoyed the patio which was located by a creek with a little area to walk down to it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We waited about 10 minutes on a Saturday morning at 10am. They have coffee and water available at the front (I thought the coffee was free, but they charged us for it once we sat down). [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got a nice shaded table on the patio![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the green chili breakfast burrito which was just okay, it would've been nice for it to come with a bowl of fresh fruit? Otherwise it was just $18 for a burrito. My friend ordered their basic breakfast with eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. She said she was a little weary of the eggs because they had green streaks in them so she didn't finish them. The hashbrowns were both in my burrito and the breakfast plate and we agreed they were really good. I took a pic of the dessert display as they looked delicious and I wish I would've had something! read more

Just OK overall. The setting is beautiful, the outdoor seating is great , but the food was hit and miss. Loved the onion rings, but the burger was bland, basic and undercooked. And when I asked to get a new soda because it was totally flat, I was told, "That's the way they always are'" read more

I had a great experience at Blackbird, I was seated within 10 minutes on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came solo with my dog and was given a great spot on the patio with a nice view of the creek.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My order consisted of the French toast with extra crispy bacon (they did it right!) and strawberries and whipped cream. The dish was delicious and I ate every last morsel. The staff was quite friendly and the kitchen was quick even on a holiday weekend. read more

This is a 4.5 star review. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance outside is relaxing - the patio overlooks Clear Creek.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is dog friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We enjoyed their classic eggs benedict and chilaquiles. The pastries are alright, nothing revelatory. Service is prompt and pleasant. Definitely the best breakfast place in the area. Get there early on the weekends. Highly recommended. read more

Our waitress really made our lunch here spectacular. We originally tried to eat somewhere else but when they were sold out they sent us here and it was a fantastic alternative. Our waitress was radiating warmth and incredibly sweet. The food was great - I particularly liked the ahi tuna nachos.

After an event at the Evergreen Library - mom and I found ourselves hungry and stumbled upon a cute little roadside café. Blackbird is cutesy and inviting with brightly painted exterior (featuring butterflies and sunflowers), cozy and wooded interior, with one hell of a Creekside view. The layout inside is a little awkward - and entrance is right near the kitchen. However, we maneuvered to a table in the corner near the window - with a nice, sunny view and was greeted by a friendly face who gave us a rundown of the specials and allowed us ample time to peruse the menu. We decided to sip on Arnold palmers and split The Rachel - essentially a Turkey Ruben with a side of fries and sweet potato fries - because two types of fries is always the right choice! Within about 10 minutes, our food arrived, which was just what the doctor ordered. Splitting the meal was perfect, as the sandwich was huge. Mom's fries were delicious while my sweet potato fries were a little burnt, but still yummy. Service was friendly, welcoming and accommodating to our lunch date. Pricing is on point and reasonable for a cute mountain town. I'd easily return! read more

Great place with indoor and outdoor seating. We had a wasp around us a lot of the time which isn't their fault! But just something to keep in mind. Ordered: Seared salmon salad - loved all the little things in the salad Pimento BLT - so good!!! My favorite Sweet potato fries - had a good seasoning, but to me, not worth the upcharge. Their normal fries are waffle fries, and I would have liked those just as much I think read more

My wife and I stopped in here for a second time after taking our old doggie for a nice, easy walk / hike along Bear Creek in O'Fallon Park just east of here. The patio is wonderful, looking across a meadow at Bear Creek, which you can hear from your table. An expansive menu provides something for every taste. We started with fried pickle chips. My wife had a Reuben that looked fantastic with freshly made chips, I had a really great (and very big) falafel with onion rings, and they were kind enough to cook a large, unseasoned burger patty for our four legged friend. I had a beer, and my wife had their monthly drink special - a huckleberry lemonade vodka concoction that she said was so good she ordered a second. The staff was universally friendly, happy and welcoming. They asked us what had brought us there, how old our dog was, and made other pleasantries without being intrusive. We will definitely return to this place on a future visit to the Evergreen area. read more

My friends and I stumbled upon this place for brunch when visiting Evergreen. SO GOOD. It was packed but we only had to wait 10-15 minutes. The service was great and the waiter gave us recommendations. The menu was full of so many great things - biscuits and gravy, huevos rancheros, sandwiches, salads, burgers. We had the pimento cheese fritters. Oh my - TO DIE FOR. The best crunch with the cheesy inside and paired with the raspberry jam. It was the best. We also had the green chili cheese fries and they were great. I had the salmon salad and the salmon was awesome. Great flavor and texture. I'll definitely be back next time I'm time in the area. read more

I've driven through Kittredge countless times, passing by Blackbird Café without ever stopping--until now. When we were looking for a convenient brunch spot between Denver, Lakewood, and Evergreen, we finally decided to give it a try. Any excuse to head up to the mountains is one we'll gladly take! Visiting on a weekday meant a more relaxed atmosphere, though I can easily imagine this cozy spot buzzing with activity on weekends. The café exudes a charming, rustic cabin feel, and its prime location along Bear Creek offers picturesque views for those lucky enough to snag a table by the window. Despite arriving as a large group without reservations, the staff quickly arranged tables for us, and we were seated in no time. Their warm hospitality set the tone, with coffee and drinks arriving swiftly as we took our time exploring the menu. There was even a cute little play area for restless kids. It was fun to see such a variety of dishes land on our table--everyone ordered something different, and each plate was as tempting as the next. The French Toast with fresh strawberries (and real maple syrup), the Chorizo Nido, and the Green Chili Smothered Burrito were particular standouts, though every bite was delicious. Now that I've discovered this hidden gem, I have no doubt we'll be back soon for another leisurely brunch in the mountains. read more

HIGHLY recommend. I was so happy with the service, the food, and the ambience! Such a cute mountain town restaurant. The menu has vast options. So many that it was hard to choose what I wanted to eat. I had their seasonal prickly pear margarita to start. 10/10 would recommend. For food, I tried their poblano turkey melt. FIRE. They also have delicious dessert to choose from that is homemade. I loved this place. I cannot wait to come back! read more

I came here with a large group for Sunday brunch. Note that parking was mostly on the street and minimal, there was an hour wait for groups large and small, and they don't take reservations except for holidays. We were fortunate enough to be seated outside, and it was a lovely view with the creek running nearby. I ended up ordering the omelette with mushrooms and sausage. I also tried the green chili bison burger. I thought both were good but would get the bison burger again. The omelette came with potato cakes, which were like flattened, herby tater tots. I also had delicious buttery sourdough toast, but it was light on the sourdough flavor. The omelette could have use a little more seasoning, but under-seasoned eggs are so common. The burger was really flavorful and it came with greasy onion rings that were tasty. Overall, I would say this place is probably drawing in crowds more for the ambiance than food, but the food is still good. read more

Brunch by a creek, what more can you ask for!? Came here after a Saturday morning hike and it was crowded! We had a group of 8 so had to wait for an hour or so but it was worth it! I had the weekly benedict which was a bacon, zucchini, tomato one. Delicious! It came with a side salad and some small potato cakes which were so crispy. Unfortunately they don't take reservations so be ready for a wait, especially if you wanna sit outside on a nice day! read more

We drove by and spotted Blackbird Cafe the day before we were going back home and decided to try it as we headed to the airport at the end of our trip. So glad we stopped! Had we known about this place sooner we would have come here every morning during our trip! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was an overcast morning but warm enough to sit outside on their cute patio where everyone was so chill, having a relaxing brunch next to Bear Creek, some with their dogs which I love.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our servers were delights...so friendly, and service was on the spot with everything. Coffee was great, Bloody Mary had a nice kick and great flavor, and the food was delicious. Our party each had something different and we were trying off of each others plates since we were all raving about our orders - Classic eggs Ben, Revolving Eggs Ben (verde sauce, cheddar, and chorizo), Huevos Rancheros, Chilaquiles, and a side of pancakes. All yum! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We saw that they have Thirsty Thursday with live music every week. We all wished we could have gone to that during our visit, so if you're free on Thursday night check it out![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We hope we will be back one day! Thanks for a great send off as we left CO! read more

I have no idea how the chocolate chip pancakes are so addictive. They are perfectly crisp and have a tangy aftertaste (buttermilk??). I think about them everyday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Snag a table with a view of the creek and enjoy the slow pace of small mountain town life.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We found this restaurant on our way to Evergreen lake. The high rating of the restaurant caught our attention. Upon arrival, it was pretty empty, we got a table right away. It's a nice wooden shack style restaurant, right by a small creek. Such amazing spot to enjoy breakfast/brunch close to nature. They have a bar as well. All staff are very friendly and helpful. We all ordered different items from the breakfast. Everyone loved their dishes. I was impressed with my corned beef egg Benedict. It was a unique dish, as they serve it with piece of hashbrowns underneath. Eggs were cooked so nicely, yolks drip over once you poke them. I got a non-alcoholic drink as well, that was very well made. Overall we had a wonderful dining experience before heading up to the mountains. Special mention of the pancakes they make. They are so fluffy and soft, one of the best ones I have ever had. Must try. read more

Looking for a brunch spot in the mountains outside Denver and this place did not disappoint. Was able to get a window seat overlooking the river but there is also an outside patio area.

Had the salmon and avocado toast and it was amazing. Busy place but the wait wasn't long on a late Sunday morning. Will definitely go back!

Excellent place to stop by after a hike in Evergreen! Parking is pretty limited but we were able to snag a spot out front on a weekday. I imagine this place gets super packed on the weekends and on certain holidays like father's day they require reservations. The restaurant itself is big, but the main draw here is the patio by the creek. They have colorful umbrellas and a nice vibe, and they're dog friendly. The menu is decent. They have everything from curry and rice, to salads and sandwiches. My seared ahi salad was good but not anything special. I would love to come back again for brunch. read more

We received great service at Blackbird Cafe from our waiter Austyn! I definitely enjoyed the food here as well as the french toast was a perfect level of sweetness If you love cheeses scrambled eggs, you HAVE to order those! I usually like my bacon slightly crispy which is what I expressed to the waiter and the cook was spot on when they made it! They had a variety of options when it came to toast/english muffins (no white bread though). My biggest feedback is I wish they had sugar free syrup! My boyfriend can't have regular syrup so he was unable to use. We went on a weekday early morning and it was not crowded at all; so no wait time! The parking is very unique, there is not an actually parking lot or many spaces at that so I do recommend going during low hours. My favorite part was definitely the view from inside the restaurant. It is a beautiful scenery of the wilderness right outside! I'm sure during the fall and spring it's even more beautiful than when we went (end of December) read more
