    Donuts!
    Gina A.

    Yep... the real deal! A quaint and well thought out bakery that is absolutely adorable and serves the most delicious treats and coffee. There are multiple locations, but we went to the one that is on Piedmont. Plenty of parking and tons of indoor seating, as well as a great area outside with umbrellas for your comfort. Walking in you are whisked back to an old time bakery and your eyes are just darting all over the bakery cases! The amount of options is very intense. You really want to order half of the case. There are cookies, cakes, bars, croissants, mini pies, donuts, etc. It's impossible to mention every single one. They even have bird bites and nesties which they have created to keep with their name. They even have quiche and some other breakfast options. For low carb, they had crust less quiche. All look absolutely amazing. We ordered the orange icing donut and a danish cookie, as well as two coffees. The danish cookie was delightful. The donut - no words. Order a dozen or two. Clouds of happiness and the orange icing was wonderful. The coffee was great. Went with a regular and the dark roast. Ended up taking a pound home. This is a happy place. Every worker greets you with a smile and is very helpful. You can tell they are very community oriented. Just a lovely vibe. A terrific and fabulous place!!!

    I stumbled across this very quaint and cute local bakery! The minute I walked in, the aroma of all the pastries immediately hit me! The ambiance is very nice and inviting. There's also plenty of seating and parking, too! It's perfect for a cute date night or even a late night dessert with friends. The employees were super friendly and very patient with me as I browsed the entire selection of baked goods! The choices were numerous which made my decision so much harder! The bakery is open until late (10pm on a Wednesday!) and I arrived around 8pm, still having a wide variety of options to choose from. I decided on the delicious cinnamon bun that you see in the attached video, however the video does not do it any justice! It is EASILY the best cinnamon bun I've ever had. I also got a chocolate chip cookie. It's my go to whenever I'm trying a new bakery, I must try a chocolate chip cookie. It did not disappoint! It was the perfect amount of chocolate, very soft and oh so delicious! If you're ever in Bristol, VA or in the surrounding area, be sure to stop by and check these folks out, you'll be glad you did!

    This prominent shop is on the Virginia side of Bristol, in an area with small side streets and not a lot else around. It has two floors and offers tons of options. The ice cream is from a Roanoke area place; I didn't feel compelled to get it but it is high quality cream. The baked goods spread was indulgent. What these creations lacked in subtlety, they possessed in sweetness. I sampled a couple and shared the rest. The cookie covering on my oreo donut was a bit excessive. If you can find some balance and eat something less sweet as well, these are some nice-looking pastries.

    One of the best donuts I've ever had! They specialize in the almond pink cream, which is delicious. I also ordered a raspberry filled. The atmosphere is wonderful too. There are even outdoor seats with umbrellas. He's super special place.

    Bread pudding. Bird bites. Apple fritter.  Cheese danish. Ham and cheddar puff pastry.

    So delicious. The service was amazing. Greeted when I came in the door. The old time feel of the bakery was so welcoming and clean. I loved it.

    I've been to Blackbird so many times but wanted to finally write a review. Most recently I went a couple days before Christmas. Even with a line out the door, I was served quickly by friendly staff and they had plenty of baked goods in stock. I have never had a bad experience at Blackbird and everything always tastes so fresh and homemade. Plus sitting with some friends in a clean, warm environment makes it even better.

    This bakery is drive through only and has a limited menu but the donuts are delicious. They tasted freshly made and the coffee is strong and rich. They offer cake donuts, which are my favorite, but none were available. On Thursday, the offer the birthday cake donut and on Saturdays the strawberry cake donut is available. Very kind employee too.

    Amazing selection of bakery items. I had the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was like a pocket sandwich. It was tasty. Ordered a dozen donuts to go and the variety was exceptional. Everyone was very friendly. It's located in an old Masonic temple. Inside there was plenty of seating.

    This is our "can't miss" visit whenever we are in Bristol TN/VA. The finest apple fritters, cakes and pies. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Can't wait to return!

    Quaint place very historical very friendly staff Great fireplace area to sit around Great selection of Baked items which are over the top We had quiche and a cranberry muffin Chi Latte was very good

    Our two ice creams that we bought, along with our receipt.

    Food was great. Service was abysmal. Crew in particular. I ordered two cups of ice cream - one for my husband and I to split, and one for my two sons. One scoop is big here - more like 2, and it was close to bedtime. We wanted to split the boys' ice cream into two cups, so we asked the young lady serving us for a second cup to split the boys, and she handed it to us. Crew then appeared and said, "You can't do that," and held out his hand to my husband for the cup, explaining that "you could buy another cup of ice cream, and we would charge you for that." Taken aback, my husband and I just gave him shocked smiles and declined that. He then THREW THE CUP AWAY. The cup we could've used. I can think of about 4 better ways this could've been handled. This was awful. Like laughably bad. It was around 8:13PM on March 21, 2026 in case you have camera footage of it you want to watch. It was hilariously bad service.

    Ambience.

    Love the carrot cake cup cake. Normally not into nuts but this was not overwhelming. I picked up another one on my way out the next day.

    Do they have boba/bubble tea here?

    Having heard pluses and minuses about this business, I finally decided to check it out for myself…read more Visiting the one on Piedmont in Bristol, I was greeted with a simple yet pleasant environment. The cashier was friendly and waited while I perused the options before ordering. I chose a protein blend drink and placed my order. Here is where my choice of a three star review comes in. I would strongly suggest you order online and avoid a possible long wait in person. You see, my wait was quite lengthy due to an online order of multiple bowls. These occupied the one employee making orders. If I could suggest that they designate a person for online orders and one for in person orders, the annoyance of a long wait would be avoided. Anyway, once I received my order, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some have complained about high prices. If you are knowledgeable about the ingredients and their costs, the prices are in line and acceptable. I will return to try one of their bowls, after I've ordered it online

We had ordered this to go and added a fried egg and home and its PERFECTION. The açaí bowls are top notch. The Bermuda bowl and the sunshine bowl are wonderful. The Bermuda bowl is sweet and a little bit tart and the Nutella is a great add. The almond butter in the sunshine bowl makes a savory bowl.
