Reviews of Blackbird Cafe (Restaurant)

Gregory Berry

Quaint little spot, with some awesome coffee. The food took a little longer than your average coffee house, but that just meant they took their time. My egg sandwich was delicious.

William Cox

Good breakfast. Great lattes. Freshly prepared good food at a reasonable price for quality. The veg mix is what hash browns should be when they grow up. Highly recommended

3x I have visited. 3x the order has been wrong. Ordering simple things like a sandwhich with no mayo or no cheese only to find them slathered in both. 2 stars bc the girls at the front at 2 of my visits were nice and apologetic. The first time the girl asked if i was taking my order to go.. I said no I will be eating in.. and her reply was "we close in 15 minutes." Well, ok. I want to like this place but today at my 3rd visit.. a wrap order off the board "no mayo." Get in the car and just do a double check and wouldn't you know..mayo.

The Blackbird Cafe is perfect in a number of ways. The food options are wide open, from tasty pastries to full breakfasts & sandwiches (everything I've tried has been very, very good!) They know their coffee as well - a *must* for a cafe. The space is very wide open so it's easy to have a comfortable conversation. The Blackbird is very popular, so getting a table seat can be tricky during busy times. But they also have bar stools along a bar by the window. I highly recommend the Blackbird Cafe in Acton!

Great coffee and breakfast sandwiches.

Chris Langlois

Very good food but not enough seating

Maris Kramer Brosnan

Tasty (odd thing to highlight, but the toast is the best). Expensive, but pretty much every restaurant in Massachusetts is too expensive. Meals are around $9-15.

It was an exciting day when I saw the signage for a Blackbird Cafe Acton location! Huge fan of their original spot in Groton, & now that there's a second location here, I get to resume regular visits! Food & coffee & service is on point -- just had breakfast here & it was delicious. I'm so glad that such a lovely cafe has come to town -- Acton will seriously benefit from a place with good food like this.

I love the personality of this place. The coffee is great and my son loves the english muffins. It is helpful to know how "self serve" the place is before you go (you bus your own tables, etc.). If you are in a hurry, you can order ahead online or by phone. I really hope they succeed because the place is so charming and the quality seems really good. I look forward to trying everything they have to offer. Will update after more experiences there...

Wow bad! Informed the gal who took my order that I have Celiac and can't have any gluten. The Mediterranean salds I ordered is advertised as greens, artichoke, peppers, olives, tomato, and cheese. No croutons mentioned. Boy was I surprised when it came with croutons all over. Even after I expressly 'informed my server of my food allergies.' I should have just gone to Rapscallion. Also, the salad was terrible, tasteless tomato (in the height of the local season !!,) canned olives, and canned salad dressing. Blech. For $9.70. Food allergen included gratis.

If I could give them a negative 5 star I would! Terrible attitude by staff members. No greeting when entering, no menus up front, etc.(was told to look at the sign behind the counter or take menus off a table). We managed to find a menu and ordered. The cinnamon bun was hard a rock and arrived with no utensils. When I went up to ask for them, I received a rude response "turn around, they were behind you". I could not see them as customers were standing/waiting in front of it blocking the area. When our food arrived, mine meal was cold. We also paid $2 extra for "real maple syrup". It arrived cold and amounted to about 2 teaspoons! Hardly worth the $2! I brought my food back up, explained it arrived cold, they offered to warm it up in the microwave! I explained why that wouldn't work for me, the English muffin gets rubbery, the eggs overcooked, etc. and asked for a new meal. I overheard a staff member saying "it was hot when she delivered it, I waited too long to eat it", accompanied by eye rolling and again a major attitude. To sum it up, food was mediocre at best. Considering it is "self serve" it is way overpriced ($40 for 2 people). And very snide attitudes, felt like we were the nerds walking into the "cool kid" party. It was our first visit, and our last!

Coffee, tasty breakfast, and tables with electrical outlets if you need them.

Delicious food, great atmosphere. Coffee and cafe drinks so good. Wait staff are amazing.

Kenneth Mortensen

Love this place for a good breakfast or lunch. Only complaint is that people come and take up an entire booth by themselves just to read a book.

Lynn Bryant

Delicious grilled cheese with spinach and goat cheese. Ate outside; it was lovely.

Came here because everything else was closed, and the hipster-ish joints usually have nice food. Ordered, waffle maker broken, played a board game, didn't realize water was free, etc. The food arrives, I ordered "Blueberry Lemon Burst" waffles (subbed pancakes), the blueberry lemon compote was actually a couple of plastic cups of thawed blueberries. Paired with ice cold butter. Flavorless. You'd expect that the meal that comes with a blueberry lemon compote would ACTUALLY HAVE IT! Very dissapointing. My friend ordered a quinwa bowl with bulgolgi. Full of greens and hardly as advertised. Tasted more like a salad with ham. (It was also full of home fries for some reason) Both of our meals were completely falsely advertised, and neither would ever be considered tasty. She took it home because she felt bad wasting so much money. We also shared a plate of the chipotle home fries. The sauce was good, but the potatoes tasted old, like they were cooked a few days ago. Overall, this meal definitely wasn't worth the *$35+* it cost. We would have gotten way better quality at a local greasy spoon. (If there were any, that is) On top of all of that, when we were ordering, we asked for water and the woman at the counter (while sharing memes with the cook) pointed us to bottled water. Little did we know, there was a large jug of iced water right next to us, but by the time we noticed we'd already purchased. Don't judge this book by its cover, because the restaurant looked very nice, but the food was meh. No lemon or compote in the 'waffles', no Korean in the Korean bowl.

A fine cafe for delicious meals throughout the day. Also, a great staff who are very are very caring and efficient. I recommend the Blackbird Cafe for a fine meal and a pleasant environment!

Love this place!

I love Blackbird Cafe's original location in Groton, MA so I was ecstatic when they opened this new location in Acton. The food is delicious. Service can be a bit slow at this location, especially on the weekends during peak hours, but there is ample seating inside and even a couple of outdoor tables.

Fresh flavorful food, large varied menu and attentive service, tried many different items over the last few months always happy with my decision, highly recommended.

My wife and I have been going here consistently for the last couple of months and every time our experience has been worst. Our first coffee from here was very impressive but since then it’s a hit or miss when we order coffee. We ordered breakfast sandwiches from here once and they were VERY delicious but on the expensive side. The muffins as well are good even the day old ones.

I like their coffee and paninis. I used to work from there occasionally while having my breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately, their wifi stopped working and nobody seems to care! I had to move to a different cafe and they lost my regular business. Also, most of their power outlets are of very low quality and some of them are not even accessible. I wish they paid more attention to these issues because they matter to people like me who what to work from a cafe while having their meals.

Best breakfast and lunch place for quick bite or sit in and relax.

Visited on a Friday morning. Place is an order at the counter type arrangement. Tables were full when we arrived but one opened up while we were ordering. Coffee was excellent. My wife had an omelet and I had the breakfast burrito both were very good and served hot. Have to self bus your table when finished by tossing trash and leaving plates in the bus bucket. Lost one star because this arrangement mean the tables don't get wiped down after each occupant, our still had crumbs and a water bottle from the previous guests. Someone jumped in after us so it was at least 3 parties at that table without a wipe down.

Rick Rogers

The coffee is awesome. The food is good too. Everything is made from scratch. The searing is somewhat limited.

Joe Brogan

It's good.

Bryan Doyon

A great place for breakfast with a good sized menu and some delicious selections. The service was fast and friendly and the place is very accommodating for families. An easy stop for coffee only or for a more leisurely breakfast. They also have sandwich offerings for lunch.

Monte J.

Good food

Michael Zeldin

Excellent for breakfast or lunch. Coffee and tea outstanding. Great staff. Not fancy but far superior to the usual suspects.
