Used to frequent the Groton location when I lived in Ayer... now that I live in Maynard, I eat at the Acton spot all of the time! "Breakfast all day" is basically music to my ears. Their omelettes are excellent! The salads and other items are good, too, but I almost always order the goat cheese scramble and sausage. Coffee and espresso are tasty. I like that they experiment with different specials, like lavender lattes and different teas. Employees are polite and efficient. Have had consistently good experiences and definitely recommend this cafe/restaurant. read more

Excellent breakfast sandwiches, breads, and beverages. Perfect contactless curbside takeout/pickup/order ahead.

Tucked away. I live 10 minutes away and I didn't know it existed. Best breakfast egg sandwich I've had in a long time. Nice and soft and flavorful everything bagel. read more

Just got lunch there, a garden salad with grilled chicken. Fresh, excellent vegetables, especially considering it's January in Massachusetts. Very fast, friendly service. A little pricey ($15), but absolutely worth it. I got take-out, but the interior looks like a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. I'll be back! read more

The best breakfast and lunch place in town period. Delicious cappuccino and breakfast sandwiches with excellent service. Very cool vibe will definitely be coming back this place! read more

Open early for breakfast. Guest WIFi. Clean, bright with a nice selection of folky music. Scone had the perfect mix of soft and crunchy, coffee is excellent. Menu had a solid variety. Ample seating, both booths and a big table. This is my new favorite breakfast spot. Order at the counter and they bring it out to you. read more

Miriam and staff in Acton were superbly pleasant and helpful. Breakfast sandwich was phenomenal and muffins as well! Plus The coffee from Cafe Jose! It simply doesn't get any better. Thank you Miriam! My wife and I will definitely be back! read more

I came in here two days in a row and their almond croissants were sold out both times. Thats a good sign for them, but if I can't make it in as an early bird and at 9am I have no options it's not a fun stop. The third time I decided to try an egg and cheese on a croissant. I was patient, but It feels like it took a decent amount of time to come out. It was takeout and I didn't go far, just a couple doors down and then I opened it up and the entirety of it was so soggy. I know croissants are filled with butter, but this was soggy all the way through, it wasn't crunchy at all. Try it out, I'll be back to try something else out one day. read more

My husband and I came to eat here once. He had some sort of a burrito and I got the Mediterranean bowl. I was fairly happy with my bowl but he said it was just ok. I think more than anything we were surprised by how small his burrito was considering it's $12. We ate at the restaurant outside. It's pretty depressing to eat outside. There are no decorations. No flowers. You're essentially eating next to a parking lot. They could try to add something - anything - to make it look nice. You order at the counter and they bring out the food to you. They have real silverware, which is nice. They have a self service water station, which is nice. I guess if the prices were lower we would have been fine. My husband ate more as soon as we got home read more

I have Celiac Disease and am always apprehensive about ordering out. The man who took my order this morning was extremely accommodating and genuinely cared about how my sandwich would be made and the safety behind it, I wish I got his name he was great. I got a chicken pesto panini on GF bread and it was amazing. Rarely does GF bread not crumble but this one was awesome! I also got an iced vanilla latte with almond milk and I also really enjoyed! Great job!! read more

I ordered eggs benedict which was super flavorful. They also made a really great caramel latte. We also ordered a side of home fries which were really good. I wish you could a smaller portion because it could feed 3 people. Pricing for food/drinks are what you would expect to pay in Acton area but at least you get great tasting fresh food. :) Wish they didn't serve my breakfast on a mini cast iron dish(hard to eat/cut on). Surprised they don't have more seating especially since there is ample walking space. read more

food was extremely bland and soggy with grease (northender sandwich, eggs and toast, loaded homefries). food was missing sauces/toppings listed as part of the meal as well as any form of seasoning, and any prices you may see in store do Not reflect the accurate price as every item we ordered was noticeably more expensive when it was rung up on the tablet. two entrees and a side was $56 with no itemized receipt. please save yourselves the money and time. read more

The food is usually great and the last time I had this same wrap it did not fall apart.... This is impossible to eat without making a need. Wrap might have needed to be heated in order for it to stay together read more

Blackbird - Chicken bacon gluten free wrap-- how am I supposed to eat this without making a need? - Cafes Near Me - Acton, Massachusetts

My daughter and I visited for the first time this morning. All I can say is WOW! Great selection of breakfast and lunch items. Wide variety of GF and dietary restricted items and everything was delicious. What a great addition to the Acton area. We will definitely be back! read more

The food was great, and the coffee was good. The price was a little expensive for the portion sizes, but not too outrageous. The more disappointing part is that there's not much seating. read more

We love this place! Huge fans of their breakfast sandwiches and coffee selection. A treat for a weekend morning but be prepared for long lines. Worth it! read more

Servers were friendly and helpful but the garden salad with a scoop of tuna salad was 18.00$!!!!!!!!!!!!!. And not that great.

Good chicken pesto panini (I'll give it that) and Caesar salad. Only MAJOR take back is a panini and a side Caesar is $21!?!? WHAT? I almost hung up the phone when I was given the total before I gave my card information. I've worked in fine dining kitchens for 6 years, and there's almost no reason/justification for it costing that much just for two items. Given the information stated above, if I'm paying with a card over the phone I almost near certainly expect a receipt attached to the kitchen slip that's stapled to the bag . That should be standard so the customer can see the charges for the mods (modifications for short). Second point if I'm paying $12 for a panini it better be a big panini, not some market basket size panini that costs half of the price they're charging. Third and final point is why was i charged $8-9 for a side Caesar in a small takeout box? That's almost just sheer highway robbery. Most restaurants only charge $2-3 dollars more to add on a side salad if you don't want chips or something along the lines. This math is just off of the top of my head but come on, the Number one rule of working in kitchen/establishment is if you take care of your customers they'll be coming back = more traffic, revenue, good reviews. I hope they take anything of this into consideration. read more

This place sucks. Asked for a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel, egg well done. Received Canadian bacon (either raw or spoiled) with two runny under cooked eggs. Two hours later I got unbelievably sick. I think that speaks for itself. read more

Sandwiches are average at best! I guess if you take 20 minutes to make a sandwich and you act like your business doesn't need you as a customer then they can charge you $12 for a turkey sandwich! read more

Came to this place for brunch with my friend on the weekend. The food was good but not special. The environment was good and people were friendly. But the service was a little slow, which, on the other hand, was a great place for hanging out. read more

Ok I call myself the muffin monster because I love muffins and I am reviewing the place primarily based on muffins. Tried the bluberry, ginger and orange muffins all unequivocally definitely made from scratch. read more

This was the second day in a row that my daughters and I enjoyed breakfast at Blackbird. With their endless selection of latte flavors, delicious Belgium waffles & breakfast skillets we'll have plenty of things to try in the future. We plan on visiting again soon! The kids also really enjoyed not having a waitress & needing to clear their own plates & cups. Wish they enjoyed that at home ‍ read more

Blackbird Cafe in Acton is great! Their new menu offers something for everyone. I have had breakfast and lunch here. I am never disappointed. The staff is always friendly and the cafe is always clean. read more

This is my new favorite brunch/ lunch spot! Have had eggs Benedict, cap reset sandwich, and French toast and all were delish! Try it!

I've only been here twice, and both times were very tasty. The first, I got a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich which was just perfect. Today, I got a Cubano sandwich for lunch. Delish. Crispy on the outside and tasty and moist inside. All the right flavors. Clean, light, friendly and with WiFi. What more could you want in a little cafe / breakfast / lunch spot? read more

Great breakfast and lunch. Sandwiches are built with care and the pancakes are terrific. The roasted tomato soup is spectacular too. Highly recommend for a much needed alternative to subs and burritos in town. read more

Absolutely love the Almond croissants! The food is great, interesting choices prepared very well. The bread is delicious. Great coffees. The ambiance is relaxed, clean and very comfortable. A real gem! read more

Food is pretty good. Coffee just decent. On our fourth time here, I tried the choc chip pancakes. Yum! Omelets are thin and definitely not NY style, though the bagels are NY style and really good! read more

Service markedly slower than peers, seating plan for dine-in is inefficient leaving seating options scarce during peak hours. That said quality of food and beverage product is good. Net/net: 3 stars overall. read more

I paid $29 for breakfast here today. It was definitely worth the buy. I would pay it again 200 more times. I had been to 5 star restaurant for breakfast and paid like $80 for a small plate of food. This place was worth it. I will never complain of prices for good tasting food. For people that do complain about prices for good tasting food I'm laughing right now. The only problem I did have with this place is that I did not get my receipt when i paid with a card over the phone. But even then so what, that is what a bank statement is for. Tbh I can care to less about that receipt. Food was to good to worry about the price. I'll definitely will visit again. read more

A bit pricey for this type of food but the food is good and the atmosphere is nice. Service is typically nice and medium paced.

Great coffee and food. Friendly service and the breakfast potatoes were amazing. Hard to find good coffee and good food and this place has both. Highly recommend! read more

There's something about this place that is just always lacking. Their sandwiches either aren't filling enough or are a really odd combination of ingredients. I've never been completely blown away by anything, but it's serviceable. read more

Excellent breakfast sandwiches and streamlined service. Very impressed with how they are handling things during the COVID-19. Nice spoy

Really bad experience here-for $36, my husband and I each got two eggs, homefries, and two pieces of toast. The food was cold when it was given to us and undercooked. They messed up my order, giving me a skillet with tons of meat when I had ordered the vegetarian one. My "overhard" eggs were runny, my husband's breakfast meats had a weird taste, and the toast was soggy. The coffee was sour and tasted bad. We watched as the employees messed up two other orders, and those people got their replacement food before I did, even though we had shared our concerns before them. After hearing good reviews, we were very disappointed and won't be back. read more

Shockingly bad experience. No clue who answered the phone as she gave no name (female with heavily accented English). First call, she asked me to hold and hung up. Second call, she was taking my order and told me they had a lot of customers and could I hurry up. As I was placing my order she kept talking, telling me how busy they were, and was repeating my order back incorrectly due to her not listening. When I asked her to please let me finish so we could get it right she told me she has other people to help and hung up. I am all for supporting local business but that may have ended my supporting this particular one. read more

Happy to have a great breakfast place open up in acton. Great menu, great home fries and hash browns.

Try the lavender iced coffee and avocado toast with the rosemary focaccia bread. YUM

I was so excited to find this little breakfast place in Acton! The service staff was really friendly and the food was amazing! I'm sure I'll become a regular there in no time. read more
