Goat Cheese & Scallion Scramble
Madison K.

Hmmm... the Blackbird Cafe. It has potential! I think this place is good if you want a grab and go breakfast option. Their menu is like a traditional breakfast place, but the ordering method is modern cafe. When you come in, you order at a kiosk!! It takes forever to scroll around and select things. It would've been faster/ easier to just give my order go the kid at the pickup counter. Once you put your order in, you grab a number and pick a table and they'll bring your food out to you. The cafe/ restaurant hybrid perhaps just isn't my vibe. It's confusing, they're bringing my food to me, but I think I'm supposed to bus my own table, they're not coming to check on me... but I need salt/pepper/refill and there's no counter to grab these things visible. Maybe I'm just inexperienced, I don't know. The "waitstaff" also seemed confused, like they did not know how to bring the food to and had to keep asking people if they ordered a dish or not until they hit the target. The food itself was good! My eggs were well-cooked and I liked the dill/ goat cheese option. The home fries were good but very salty. I loved the bread they served it with, and it would've been better with some jam but again... not sure where to get that. The bacon was good, and three pieces did cost $5. I loved my maple latte, it was very tasty!! Now I'm eating in, but it cost more to order it in a mug, so I settled for the small in a to go cup, which I thought was weird. A mug would've been nice with my breakfast plate, but alas. There's a parking lot in front, it's shared with a lot of other places in the strip mall. But it shouldn't be intimidating! It was clean inside, and there was artwork in the wall that I believe was for sale. The menu also had some trendy options, like bowls and avocado toast.

They overcharge for bagels and give you 1 tiny cream cheese on the side for $1.50 extra charge. Ridiculous.

This breakfast location is very clean, opened and comfortable. The food was good. There were no refills for coffee. You have several options for ordering. You can go to a kiosk, order at the counter, order on the app or the old-fashioned way...in person. The only really downside of this is, their price point. They seem to be pretty popular and being in Groton, which is more affluent than many areas. This may drive the cost up. They do have a large space and maybe the rent is excessive. I thought it was very unusual that a few use credit they charge you an extra 5%. This on top of their additional cost is certainly over the top. I guess the emphasis is for the guest to reduce the tip. Credit card fees should be incorporated into the price, not an additional amount.

Turkey and cheddar wrap with barely any turkey and just loaded with mayo. Had to scrap out so much of the mayo. You think for $13 you'd get a little more meat

Chicken Pesto Chicken Panini
Nicole F.

Picked up our order to go, I ordered the chicken pesto panini sandwich and I wish I ordered a second one. The pesto sauce was very tasty and it was mixed in with the chicken instead of being spread on two slabs of bread. The chicken was shredded which I enjoyed. I removed the roasted red peppers as I'm not a fan but I savored every bite. The bread was fresh and toasted perfectly.

Iced Coffee 24 oz.

We were leaving Concord and heading into Boston and needed a place to grab a bite, and based on the good Yelp reviews we stopped here, and had some very yummy food! I tried the chicken salad on a bagel and it was a huge portion of chicken salad. Very well made and was happy I had some leftover for later. My husband had the egg Philly steak breakfast wrap and it was delicious. The iced coffee was also very good! Great spot to grab quality breakfast/lunch!

Hot chocolate done with care.

Stopped here this morning for breakfast. First, the person on staff was awesome. She was friendly and made a point to take care of customers. Second, the food was amazing. We had a breakfast wrap and the waffle, egg and sausage breakfast sandwich. The food was hot and flavors were amazing. I was very pleased by the food and staff here. I'm definitely gonna come back and try some more from the menu. I highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a bite.

Ice tea and ordering QR code
Jacquelyn O.

Blackbird Cafe is located in a plaza off Rt 119 in Groton and is a hidden gem. You can order take out online or on a computer in the lobby. There is a small dining area if you wish to dine in. You order and pay through a QR code on your phone. There were clear instructions on the door and wall how to order as there are not staff stationed out front. My husband had the Ranchero Breakfast Sandwich and a drip coffee. My daughter had a chocolate chip pancake and a hibiscus ice tea. I had a spinach and feta omelet and a hibiscus ice tea. It was a little pricy, but worth it. The food was flavorful and fresh. The staff were prompt and friendly. The cafe had a cute atmosphere. We are excited to now have a place to stop for breakfast on the way through Groton.

Food is really good, but it's all online orders and the fees that are included are really expensive. Bring your wallet!

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in New Boston, The Cure Cafe is a small cozy cafe, which opened…read morerecently and took over the former Northeast Cafe. The place was redone which is an order at the counter place with a few tables with chairs, comfortable soft seating and a faux fireplace inside the cozy space. The Cure Cafe is dedicated to supporting childhood cancer research. They serve up coffee/espresso & tea drinks, hot cocoa, pastries, croissants, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, lunch sandwiches, salads, soup, and cooler drinks. I stopped by The Cure Cafe for a quick breakfast pickup. I ordered The Charlotte ($6.99 plus tax) and a Spinach & Cheese Puff Pastry ($4.99 plus tax) to go along with my hot coffee. I enjoyed my food once I arrived at work. The Charlotte breakfast sammie was made to order which had one farm raised egg, cheddar cheese, and a round sausage patty on a thick soft toasted English muffin. I warmed up the Spinach & Cheese pastry, which was flaky and buttery. I will definitely have to return for lunch so I can try their Cubano and Chicken Salad sammies!

No. Just NO. My matcha latte and my husband's chai tea were both cold. Not hot. Not warm. Not even…read morelukewarm. COLD. It took forever to get our food and I was very disappointed in my sandwich. It had one thin piece of ham and the tiniest smear of mustard on one side of the bread. The prices they charge do not justify the product they serve. We will take our business elsewhere.

For early afternoon coffee, I stopped by Coffee & Kindness. It seemed like a small establishment…read morewith five 2-tops and one 6-top. The interior felt bright and airy, with light woods and cream/off-white tones. The space carried a slightly upscale coffee shop feel, but without the snooty third-wave energy of plastering tasting notes and bean origins everywhere. I got a large cold brew ($5.50) and a pour over ($6). At the pour over's price point, I would have expected more than one coffee bean option. Service came across as cordial, with my pour over brought out to the table. The establishment offered free Wi-Fi; even on a Labor Day afternoon, multiple people set up to work.

Was traveling for the weekend and decided to stop here for some breakfast. I was told the owner…read morealso has a gluten allergy so there are always gluten free items on the menu. The service was very good. I wound up getting the gluten free waffle which was delicious. Wouldn't even know it's gluten free. It had a great flavor and texture. I asked if there was fruit to add on it but there was not at the time but the employee was nice enough to offer a raspberry jam as an alternative. They also make and have real maple syrup. I got an iced coffee to drink with oat milk. I enjoyed the coffee. There's street parking. I came on a Sunday so the parking was free. Quaint place. Your order then get a number and sit at a table and they bring your items to you. Just a couple seats outside. They also carried a few gluten free desserts like cookies and brownies and have season banana bread. I'll have to go back and try them another time.
