Over the past couple of years, I've had all manner of cakes, pastries and pies from Blackbird. In…read morefact, it's almost a given that when I encounter a tasty pie or pastry at a friend's house on Bainbridge, when I ask, it's almost a given that it came from Blackbird. They're expensive, but the old adage "you get what you pay for" definitely applies to Blackbird. You may pay more than you might somewhere else, but their quality is exceptional. Today I stopped by for one of their quiches--their spinach and goat cheese--and a lemon blueberry scone. Both were super yummy. I often get one of their chais too, which are also quite tasty (and not at all dry, a common problem with scones). Having Blackbird downtown makes it quite convenient to just stop by while on the way to elsewhere. But sometimes it can be a destination if...you can find seating, which is at a premium most of the day.

Blackbird Bakery is the only bakery that popped up in my search results when I was doing research…read moreon where to grab pastries for breakfast during my visit to Bainbridge Island. It's clear this was the case for others as well, as there was a large line extending outside the door onto the sidewalk when we arrived around 10:00 a.m. I ordered their multigrain toast with jam along with a savory croissant. The toast comes heavily buttered and the savory croissant for the day was topped with the fillings you'd fine in a spanakopita -- i.e. spinach and feta. I really loved the thickness of the toast slice and the degree that they toasted it: soft and fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. They did not hold back from including a bunch of seeds in the bread, and that added a nice texture in every bite. The jam is on the sweeter side, but I like that it's on the side so you can control exactly how much sweetness you want to add. The savory croissant had good flakiness to it, but it would have been nice if we had an option to have it toasted. Overall, very good bakery that I'd gladly visit again if I'm back on Bainbridge Island. Definitely get the toast.

I also ordered the Molten Lava Cake, and it did not disappoint! The contrast between the warm, rich chocolate cake and the ice cold vanilla ice cream was absolutely delicious, especially on such a hot day! Another fun surprise was discovering that you can write and send postcards from here. I thought that was such a unique touch and something you don't see very often.

My quiche had undersalted eggs, strange-tasting cheese, and a crust that ate as if it were microwaved. And my brother didn't finish his mocha - which is just so rare for him - and he described it as Swiss Miss. On top of that, we waited a good 20 minutes for our disappointing food and drinks. The struggling sole person working the bar, the oven, and the register really needed a coworker. It was a typical cafe vibe inside. One guy taking a FaceTime, a party of 10 rekindling old connections, and couples spending their morning together.

Plenty of warm (and cold) drinks, and a reasonable breakfast and lunch menu. You order at the counter, but they will bring it to your table. Cons: I ordered a sandwich--the turkey BLT--which was okay, but just okay. On non-descript wheat bread, bagged lettuce (which was a little wilty), and a round of processed turkey. Bacon seemed reasonably freshly cooked, however. Upshot: nice place to hang, especially with a warm beverage in hand. I would go again just for that, and likely will. As for lunch--which, granted, I only tried one of their sandwiches--there are much better sandwich options on the Island.

While the storefront is essentially a coffee stand, there is seating available right outside the store which is great when the weather is nice. In addition to being a convenient place to stop for coffee while shopping at Town & Country, drink prices are very reasonable and it is not too crowded. The waiting time for drinks could be faster though. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a drink while visiting the main stretch of Downtown Bainbridge, I would recommend this spot.

The owners and managers truly don't give a crap. This is literally the worst McDonald's location in Kitsap!!! Everyone here agrees. Nothing but attitude and trash everywhere. Bathrooms are not clean, homeless harass you as you walk in. Nothing but a health and safety hazard. Even the inner city Bremerton locations are better than this one. Every time I've been here, it's been a huge wait for no reason. Today's order was no exception. When I walked in, no one was in the drive thru, yet they prioritized every new order in the drive thru over my mobile order. Employees tried to hide behind the wall, when I asked for help. I saw every car pull up and drive thru. Completely crazy! I was there over 30 minutes waiting on a mobile order for a medium fries and small McFlurry. When the guy finally did do my McFlurry, it looked like less than half the cup and looked strange. Who knows what he did to it. I threw away everything...so disgusting! There were no managers anywhere! Very poorly managed store. This has been every experience for me...employees just talking to themselves and laughing at customers. The food is always cold and the quality is awful! Save your money. Drive a little further to the Poulsbo location which is way better. Don't come here!
