First time order this afternoon- ordered a Johnny Cash wrap, w\ extra red onion... quite disappointing overall... grilled chicken chunks all in one half of the wrap, no cilantro that I could find, not many onions, rare corn, too much dressing ( which seemed like Thousand Island, not chipotle), did not find any avocado... taste was good, sweat fell apart because of too much lettuce and too much dressing... read more

I just went to blackbird cafe for the first time and the service was incredible. The moment I walked in I was greeted by Nya and Melisa they were very nice and helped me out by giving me some recommendations on the menu. I ended up going with the chicken bacon wrap and a chai latte. Which was amazing you could tell vegetables were fresh and the chicken was tender. I decided to dine in and they checked up on me multiple times. It was also very clean in and vibes were great I will definitely be coming back to try more items on their menu. I recommend any one in the area to also give them a try. read more

Went in after being told they could make a bunch of things vegan but when I arrived that was not the case. Did get the burrito which was really good and a great portion too. Staff very nice. Looking forward to return once they have some more vegan options if you don't care about vegan things you def will find lots of good stuff here! read more

Blackbird Cafe - Vegan Burrito - Cafes Near Me - Burlington, Massachusetts

Food is AMAZING and the Customer service is awesome. Coffee is also very good. Employees are very nice and thoughtful.

excellent service and even better coffee! Melissa is the best! Try the blackbird bomb bowl/burrito or sausage waffle sandwich. probably best latte in Burlington read more

Food: My table got the banana Nutella waffles and the lemon blueberry waffles. The Nutella waffle was a bit dry. The dish would be much improved if the Nutella was made into a sauce rather than piped on top in its current thick peanut butter like form. The lemon waffle was light and lovely. The coffee was a bit sweat especially since mine shouldn't have had sugar in it. Ambience: This place was fairly awkward. There is one small table up front and two or three small tables shoved into the back hallway that leads to the bathroom. While I might have wanted to comeback for the food I definitely wouldn't come here again due to the lack of comfortable seating. Staff: The staff were slightly off putting. The cashier and barista never said anything rude but their expression clearly stated that they did not want to be there and that they did not like you. read more

Not worth the pubes. So we got our meal and needless to say it was missing ordered content from the meal. Needless to say the flavor was good, except soggy potatoes and then upon a few bites in I saw a hair of sorts hanging in the cheese... who knows how many I ate. Food for thought, bad first impression and I will not be going back. read more

Delicious cute little cafe in a convenient strip mall. All the tea and coffee we got was top notch, French toast and egg sandwich were also well done and well priced. Great find for a quick take out breakfast while staying nearby! read more

Extensive menu and drink options with a variety of syrups, milks, and bases. Breakfast and lunch menus with options for everyone

Terrific breakfast sandwich but really bad latte...weak and tasted like fish water. Don't reco

Please update your menu on uber eats, its only like half of the actual menu, and no drinks. Otherwise I love this place order breakfast here atleast 3 times a week, the BOMB is indeed that and most other breakfast sandwiches are A+. Just wish the uber eats menu was bigger. I only encountered an issue once w their delivery, which with the amount of food I get is expected. My other issue is inconsistency, sometimes there is no sauce, sometimes there is way too much. read more

There is no seating besides two small tables. Food and drink are good. Would not recommend as a true cafe but a grab and go

I have now been to The Blackbird Cafe 4x. I waited to post this because I really wanted to love it. My first experience at Blackbird was During the first or second week of them being open. I met the owner who was very kind and eager to help. All I purchased was a frappe. I thought and hoped I would love it but unfortunately, nope. I was getting ice chips thru the straw, tasted more like coffee, chocolate and ice chips. Figured I would give it another chance since they were such a new establishment (in the area) and were probably working out the kinks. Visit 2 and 3 I purchased a breakfast sandwich and coffee. Both times the coffee and food was excellent. Today's visit: The employees were incredibly nice, they had more tables than before and the bakery items looked delicious. As always, I was in a rush. I ordered a grilled ham and Swiss sandwich along with a double chocolate muffin to go. As soon as I got in my car, I Immediately bit into the sandwich. First bite was delicious. Ham was not a deli meat, it was a thick smoked ham. Like the kind you would have for dinner. I went to put my car in reverse and noticed how greasy my hand was, looked at the sandwich and it was dripping butter. Way way too much butter used! I was so hungry I continued to eat. When I got to the second half, I was spitting out a lot of fatty pieces. I opened the sandwich up and saw it was loaded with fat....see picture attached. On a better note, the muffin was amazing! read more

See all

3.5 stars rounding up to 4. i really like how they have lavender for the coffee. delicious flavor to coffee and the muffin was very yummy too. staff was friendly & kind! a bit overpriced is all. read more

Blackbird Cafe - chocolate muffin - Cafes Near Me - Burlington, Massachusetts

Way over priced for average food! $15 for a sandwich that had just a few piece of spinach when the picture shows lots of it and it came out on the wrong bread. $77 for 2 sandwiches, 2 regular drip coffees, pancakes, and a chocolate milk. speaking of the chocolate milk, first they brought hot chocolate, then we explained cold chocolate milk they just poured some out and added ice. Never coming back. read more

The early bird egg sandwich and coffee were good. No refills on the coffee. Bummer. Limited seating. Mostly for ordering to go. I like watching the cooks; however, the restaurant is not interior could use remodel to be more welcoming. I would certainly get to go but probably not eat in. Restroom was clean read more

Love this place coffee is amazing and the veggie omelette is super yummy! Friendly staff and fast service! read more

Excellent! Priced well , and my food is delicious, I'm well satisfied, I will definitely order again, thank you read more

Blackbird Cafe - 2 Egg Your Way with wheat toast and potatoes - Cafes Near Me - Burlington, Massachusetts

This place is special. The owners are truly nice people. The food is made-to-order and fresh, of course. But it's the experience that matters. They are kind and a breath of fresh air. Please stop by. These small shops are a treasure that need patronage in this day and age of faceless chains and people who come and go without sharing light with one another. You won't just have a delicious breakfast, you'll be part of a caring community that day and whenever else you return: a smile, a how is your day, a real person really asking how your life is and sharing a cuppa over it. That can't be bought. It can only be shared and celebrated when you find it. Hope you stop by soon, like I did and find out how this little corner of town is worth the effort to find and enjoy in life. read more

Great breakfast Great Service I love the menu both breakfast and lunch I recommend this place read more

This is the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. It is delicious every. single. time. Would 10/10 recommend. I just paid over $60 on Uber eats to have 2 priority delivered (tip included). read more

Excellent breakfast options and friendly service. Pancakes were perfect, servings generous. The goat cheese scallion omelette was delicious. They also have wonderful coffee. During the pandemic they kept everything clean and followed restaurant protocol. They have take out and a few tables outside. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by for breakfast on a random weekday around 10am post COVID 19 openings. No tables inside but plenty of seats outside under the over hang of the strip mall. Ordered a waffle and my companion had eggs,bacon, home fries and toast. All were excellent! Served in to go containers and plastic silverware. Drinks were fantastic too - Iced green tea and a frozen coffee drink. All made quickly but good ingredients! read more

The ranchero is amazing! Place is clean and phone service is friendly and articulate!!

Great little cafe for take out. Love their breakfast sandwich & Burrito, great coffee, lunch also great!

I was really excited to try this place since the menu looked so good, but it ended up being a super disappointing experience. I specifically ordered the Build Your Own Burrito so that I could avoid potatoes, which are bland and mushy. I got home and bit into the burrito to find it was half filled with potatoes that I didn't order. The Breakfast Sandwich also wasn't toasted as mentioned in the description, the result being soggy bread that just fell apart in my partner's hands. Both meals desperately needed seasoning too. I emailed the restaurant about the incorrect order but haven't heard back, so the customer service is about as good as the food. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the online ordering and pick-up shelf were really convenient. read more

Excellent breakfast (egg sandwich, burrito, bagel, smoothie) and quick! Staff were very friendly, patient, and helpful. A small issue was quickly rectified and they apologized. We would definitely return if in the area again. read more

Great breakfast! But make sure you specify in the comments that you'd like extra condiments... I've had Blackbird Cafe three times and paid extra for condiments twice when selecting before check out. I never received the extra items I had paid for 2/3 times. read more

Went here after seeing it had a good score on Yelp and Google but didn't do my due diligence reading the ACTUAL reviews. I got a vegetarian breakfast bowl and added bacon....basically no bacon and mostly all spinach which wasn't even sautéed like the menu stated. My fiancé got the southwestern burrito and even after letting it cool down, it was so hot it burned the roof of his mouth. He also wasn't very impressed. Additionally, we got one pancake, a latte and a cold brew and it came out to $60!!!! $60 for a meal we didn't even finish, is a scam. We went to McDonald's after and spend $12 for something we actually asked for. As for the house fee, it was also added in very sneaky. I didn't see any signs and I looked at the website after our terrible experience and seeing other reviews complaining about the house fee and it's not even on the main home page. Recommendation for black bird: post it on the main page and have staff be upfront about it, so people aren't constant complaining. People are hungry and sometimes might not look for a small sign when they're looking at the food to order. read more

Tried this place for breakfast this morning. It's part of an outdoor strip mall close to the Burlington mall. It's a bit hidden from the main road so make sure you use a GPS. There's plenty of parking. There are a few tables set up right outside the cafe and we didnt have a problem getting a spot. It seems to be quite popular, lots of customers were picking up items while we were there (ordering ahead it seemed like). I got the avocado toast and an ice chai. Both were delicious and the prices are very reasonable. There were only two employees and it was quite busy, so it took a while to get our orders but we weren't in a rush. Plus the employees remained friendly and attentive despite being super busy so kudos to the staff. Loved everything and will definitely return to try the rest of their extensive menu. read more

Blackbird Cafe - Avocado toast. Everything is served in to-go boxes post covid. - Cafes Near Me - Burlington, Massachusetts

The food was absolutely delicious and great service, I wasn't expecting that good of food from a small cafe. Definitely will go again.

I've been getting a breakfast sandwich here on average twice a month for a little over a year now. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly. I have one unusual complaint though. If you ask for ketchup on your sandwich, they will confirm, and it will be listed on your receipt, but you won't get it. My order is always right except for ketchup. Not sure why they don't want to put condiments on their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches but if I've had 25 sandwiches here in the last year, 0 of them had the bit of ketchup I asked for with it. It would be better if they just responded "no" when you order with a condiment that they don't want to give you for whatever reason, rather than taking your order and then choosing not to add the requested ketchup. Once again, I realize this is an unusual complaint; but other than that, Blackbird is overall great. read more

Food was fresh and in good quality. The problem was how would you toss your good amount salad in such a overflowing plate? I ended up eating my salad by dipping the food kind by kind in the tiny dressing cup like fondue. Also the ventilation is not good in the restaurant and you smell the kitchen in the dining area. read more

Went here for breakfast this morning and have to say can only give good reviews. They had a extensive menu and the wait was not long for our food. We had French toast and it was delicious! We will definitely be back. read more

Used to order all the time, excellent food. But then they removed French toast from the menu... why?? Were you tired of someone ordering it all the time?? read more

Horrible service. Food was served cold. Charged extra for bacon that was supposed to be included with eggs according to menu Hash straight from the can cost $5 and was tiny portion. Worst breakfast place I've been to in a long time. Don't waste your money. read more

Great service! Staff was helpful and answered all the questions I had. I love that they have lots of vegetarian options, and that the same meals can be in bowls or wraps! I ordered the Strega Nona. I really enjoyed the flavors of the pesto & the balsamic glaze. Coffee was kind of meh, I wish it was bolder & stronger. Also, there isn't a ton of sitting inside. Overall, I enjoyed my breakfast and would go back! read more

Stopped here for breakfast during our vacation with my husband and son. Clean place and friendly service. All two person tables, with one three person table near the ordering counter. I ordered the Colonial Breakfast, two eggs scrambled with bacon, sausage, ,home fries, pancakes and your choice of toast. I skipped the toast. Pancakes were a little undercooked, but everything else was good. I had an ice vanilla latte with my meal. My husband had a New Yorker, pastrami, onion, brown mustard and fried egg sandwich. He enjoyed it. My son had two eggs scrambled, with bacon and home fries. He liked it. read more

Awesome little cafe with great food and service! Importantly, they are super meticulous given the Coronavirus outbreak - constantly cleaning the tables and counters with Clorox wipes, serving hot sauce and ketchups individually so there's no bottle sharing. We went around 9am on Sat and it was empty with some folks doing takeouts. We got the omelettes and they were delish and just the right size. We will definitely be back! read more
