    The cafe is clean, tidy, warm and inviting. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was great The cookies are warm and off the chain. Go!

    What's left of the breakfast tacos! Salsa was great

    We were camping at the state park and liked the cafe so much we came twice for breakfast tacos and cake! They also had great decaf coffee which is hard to find. Friendly service and WONDERFUL atmosphere and decor. We loved the biscoff cake!

    Vanilla iced latte

    Awesome cafe in old downtown Denison. The decorations were beautiful and peaceful. Stopped in for breakfast after hiking around Waterloo lake and taking the cave trail. I had the avocado toast. The avocado was perfect. It was great but If I ordered it again I would try to get it with an egg to add protein. My son had a turkey sandwich that he wolfed down. As we we re leaving they were taking the chocolate chip walnut cookies off of the baking pan. I couldn't resist the ooey gooey cookie. They were pricey at $12 for 2 cookies but they are giant sized. Not sure I would have purchased if I knew the price first. Had an iced latte and it was super tasty. Service was great, friendly and unobtrusive.

    On the outside, this is the perfect addition to Denison's ever-growing Main Street. And on the inside, this beautiful, quaint cafe has a lot of potential. It reminds me of a spot on McKinney's eclectic town square. However, I just don't think Denison is ready for the inflated prices on Cafe Blackbird's menu. And maybe I'm wrong... as the line was almost out the door when we arrived. My half sandwich/cup of soup and small half slice of orange was not worth the $9.50. The bread was a nice artisan bread (which I'd return to buy a loaf of for morning toast), but the chicken salad and tomato basil soup were just okay. I didn't get to eat the orange as my plate was whisked away while I was pretty much finishing up. I felt rushed and not very welcome the entire time. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, though; this could be because they've been busy with their grand opening and staff training. Also, the cookie I ordered was forgotten when my food was delivered to the table, and when I went to inquire about it, I was told they were baking more and that it would be about 12 minutes until they were ready. At $3.75 a piece, you know I was waiting for this cookie. Fast forward about 30 minutes and (feeling like a complete B) I had to ask again. Not sure when/if I'll return. Employees (and most patrons) weren't wearing masks and six-feet distances were not being enforced. The visit as a whole just didn't feel comfortable. I wish them well, though. Denison needs growth, especially on Main, and businesses such as this will definitely help.

    Do they have gluten free bread or anything else gluten free?

    They try to keep gluten free bread on hand, and the tomato basil soup is gluten free. Only dessert that's normally available that's GF is creme brûlée. You can call and request GF cookies

    Love this place. Fresh delicious. Great for vegetarians. We always look forward to going back.read more

    A first rate coffee shop that puts the indie coffee shops of Austin to shame…read more And I should know - living in Austin and spending a lot of time in coffee shops. If Lettuce Indulge was in my hometown, it would be my number one hangout coffee shop. They specialize in very high quality straight up coffee, their own self-invented elaborate coffee drinks - and healthy main dishes. I did a straight up espresso and a chicken and good-for-you-stuff bowl. The straight up espresso was so good - I went for a second about twenty minutes later. I don't have a coffee taster's vocabulary - But this was a non-burnt, non-heavy, complicated, intriguing brew. It was not like any coffee I had had in a long time. * * * The chicken bowl beat the stupid stuff Starbucks sells you for lunch easily. My home coffee shops vary in the quality of their kitchens. There are some sandwiches and salads to die for. There is also a lot of mediocre stuff that makes Starbucks lunch look good. If my chicken bowl had been rated on an Austin scale from 1 to 10, It would have been a solid 8. I would be happy to eat that over and over and over again. * * * The room is fine. The folks who work there are super super friendly and super super nice. * * * The establishment closes on Sundays ... So I am going to guess that one of the owners or maybe a huge percentage of the staff are dedicated Christians. There is a lot of idealism in the craftsmanship that goes into the coffee. Same for the idealism that goes into the food. Plus the room has a very healthy vibe. There is a lot of virtue in this establishment. Virtue is a good thing.
