Super cute underrated spot. They have great dessert options and also a market feel with pasta from the Pasta Peddler amongst other things. Definitely check it out. read more

This cute shop is big and spacious relative to a lot of other bakeries. In addition to cupcakes, brownies, and other treats, they also sell specialty ravioli, spaghetti sauce, and flavored vinegars, I'm assuming from local companies. I picked up a brookie cake - brownie in the bottom, cookie on the top for Father's Day. It looks great, and if the cupcake I had is any indication, it will taste great, too. A couple of cupcakes caught my eye. The blackbird is a chocolate caramel cupcake I have to try next time. Today I tried the dove, a vanilla caramel cupcake I have to have again some time. It was the perfect flavor and texture. Not too sweet, fluffy yet moist with a hint of buttery goodness. If they have a plain butter cake, I'd love to try that, too, because I think they may nail a flavor I haven't been satisfied with since I was a kid. Excellent service. read more

Blackbird Sweets and The Pasta Peddler are together. During COVID-19, they are offering free delivery of their products. In early April, I took part in this. The ordering process online was easy. The confirmation told me my order would be delivered on a Saturday between 11am and 8pm. I ordered the cookies sampler, and the sugar cookie bar. The cookie sampler contained three cookies; chocolate chip, peanut butter, and funfetti. They were all delicious. The sugar cookie bar was out of this world. I highly recommend this bakery. Check out their Instagram too. read more

Wonderful place on Hertel. It shares a space with some other kinds of products, but Blackbird is the star. I appreciate the quality of the products. The cupcakes are quite good and have a great ratio of cake to icing (some places overdo the icing). The buckeye cupcakes are great and I crave them once in awhile. Also, random - they have a great sprinkles collection. I don't use sprinkles very often, but it is nice to have them once in awhile, so having a bag of special ones makes things even nicer. read more

I need you to stop what you're doing and go to blackbird. Everything I've had from there is delicious!! The funfetti cookies, soft, chewy and flavorful. The chocolate cookies in the "build your own cookie sandwich", delicious and such a cute idea. All of their cupcake the vanilla, the blackbird, the peanut butter, the red velvet are some of the best cupcakes I've ever had in my life and I eat A LOT of cupcakes. Easily top 5 best bakeries in WNY. read more

Great bakery, plus so convenient to just swing in and get some assorted cupcakes! (Ex. I needed 6 for that same day, so I just could go in and choose whatever flavors I wanted. They had 8 flavors.) Really delicious! read more

Cupcakes singing in the dead of night. What to get: Mini Cupcakes Why: Because they're cupcakes I came here to buy some baked goodies for a few special women in my life, such as a female Yelper that keeps asking me to take her to a piano bar, and her awesome cute roomie, and also my BFF. And of course anyone else that likes cupcakes too. I did manage to snag one of the chocolate cupcakes for myself, and I was really amazed at how delicious and fluffy and gooey and tasty it is. These people know what they're doing! But then, they'd better, considering the prices of these things. They're not cheap, and they're not very big, but they're so good that I have no qualms about giving them 5 stars. And how did I find out about this place? A little Blackbirdie told me. read more

My sister is greedy and said the cupcakes here are good. So we stop in. BAYBEE when I tell you them cupcakes were GOOD, I mean words cannot express the joy that occurred in my mouth after tasting them. I had the Dove cupcake, Red Velvet cupcake, and a cinnamon coffee cake (don't judge me). Listen to me, think about the happiest time you've been in your life and imagine that feeling in your mouth. I live in Maryland but when I go home to visit I WILL BE GOING BACK. The owner, I think she was the owner, I was too focused on the sweets. She was WONDERFUL, very personable, and cheerful. Please go support her I know I will be back. And.... you can get a dozen of different flavors in the mini cupcakes. Listen if you want happiness and joy in your mouth....BLACKBIRD SWEETS gone give it to YOU! I don't have pics cause Im greedy, I ate the sweets LOL. read more

This morning for breakfast I had a Buffalo Bills bagel stuffed with cream cheese and chives from Blackbird Sweets. My daughter brought it to me the night before and I placed it in the fridge for morning. I sliced it open and was surprised at the generous amount of filling. Then put it in the air fryer for about 5 minutes. When done it reminded me of NYC bagels. Just perfectly crisp yet so soft inside, not tough. I am anxious to go to this bakery to see what else I will find. read more

Love this place! The birthday coffee cake is sinfully delicious and every employee I've interacted with has been gracious and friendly. The cupcakes are a good size, fairly priced and come in appetizing flavors but...that coffee cake though you won't want to share it and that's okay. I wish they would properly update their store hours on their website and Yelp. They are open 11 AM Wednesday through Saturday. read more

This bakery is outstanding! I bake so I'm pretty fussy... I tried a frosted brownie- so moist and is real chocolate in the brownie and the frosting. The. crumb cake has the deep and generous crumb topping. Both items I tried we're absolutely perfect! oh how I wish I lived closer so I could make trips there until I sampled everything! read more

I went several weeks ago to get a cupcake (the Blackbird), which was delicious. The staff was friendly and the store inviting. I went back recently to pick up a cake I ordered over the phone. It absolutely exceeded my expectations and my girlfriend (whose birthday it was) adored it! The red velvet cake was delicious, moist, with good balance of cake to icing, and importantly, The decorations were unusual and crazy fun! That said, prices also seemed quite reasonable. Whether ordering a cake for an occasion or grabbing a snack, this is now my go to. Highly recommended read more

We are so lucky to have this little cake shop in North Buffalo, right in the midst of busy Hertel, a click away from home. I love the mini cupcake boxes for sale because it gives you the opportunity to taste four different kinds of cupcakes. I have tried pretty much all the cupcakes here and none have disappointed. Today we decided to go a different route and try a chocolate cake parfait and a birthday cake parfait (it was a buy one get one free deal with a total cost of $5). So so yummy. Less sweeter than a cupcake since the icing is replaced with a creamy custard and that created a perfect balance with the sweet, moist cake. Definitely satisfied our sweet tooth and cake cravings. read more

My goodness. I called blackbird sweets a week ago to order cupcakes for a gender reveal party on December 30. Never returned my call. So I stopped there today. The owner was extremely rude and short with me. She was obviously it very busy making cookies which were far more important to her than a live customer in front of her. She informed me there were closed all week and would not be open December 30-January 6. She said she. Oils t possibly take an order from me to make cupcakes for me to pick up this weekend. Now I have no time to order from anyone else. I don't understand how for the two weeks surrounding g. Heist as and New Years, a local business is only open two days and won't take any orders and does not have the courtesy to return phone calls. She yelled at me and acted like I was crazy for wanting to order from her. She's right. Anyone would have to be crazy to order from this local business. I stopped at dashes and for 1/10th the price, bought supplies to make my own. I don't recommend this business to anyone. read more

Take ALL of my money! I am back again to say this place is amazing! I always get stuff from this stand every year at Christmas in the Country and I am never disappointed. They didn't have the s'mores rice cereal treats this year ( super sad faced) but I decided to try the fruity pebbles bar and the chocolate peanut butter bar and OMG the chocolate peanut butter was really really great! The fruity pebbles bar was good too!...I also Purchased a few of the mini coffee cake ( not sure of the exact name) and while I figured they would be dry ( as coffee cake tends to be, they were so moist and delicious even daaaays after I bought them. The woman that works the stand during the day is really great and friendly too! I absolutely cannot wait until next year because I will certainly be trying the cupcakes as well as all of the other stuff. Ridiculously delicious! Tried a S'mores Rice Krispie treat made here but purchased at Christmas in the country and it is an impossibility that something like that can taste THAT freaking delicious . I don't even like s'mores flavored anything but I figured it really makes sense for a flavored RKT and buying it was best decision I've made in years. It's thick, and soft and chewy , it manages to capture the graham flavor perfectly while not being overly sweet or fake tasting. I ate this almost 24 hrs ago and I still cannot stop thinking about it. My only regret was not buying more, or trying the cupcakes! Don't miss out on this bakery! read more

I decided to try cupcakes here for a little birthday celebration. I was pleasantly surprised! Great, innovative flavors that are well executed. We tried lemon mixed berry, pumpkin pie, blackbird (chocolate cake, cream cheese frosting, caramel drizzle), caramel apple pie, caramel macchiato and buckeye (see photo). Buckeye was my favorite with caramel apple pie as a close second. The frostings are a bit sweet but still delicious. read more

Best cupcakes ever! Whenever my grandson. Is in town it's always a visit to Blackbird to get some cupcakes and goodies!

Came for cookies, which they didn't have any, but the cinnamon crumb cake was the perfect size and phenomenal in taste! We got 6 cupcakes as well. My son just ate the orange cupcake and said he loved it. In fact, he's the one that told me to make sure to write a review cause he loved it so much. Highly recommend!!! Oh and the service was great too! read more

I got a cheesecake parfait, a peanut butter brownie, and the blackbird cupcake. All of them were delicious but the cupcake was definitely the star of the show. I typically am not a huge fan of cake but I will definitely be back for some more cupcakes! read more

This store moved from CT street (Horsefeathers Market) to Hertle a few weeks ago. Bigger space. Some cute tables to sit at. Nice selection of cupcakes and other treats, some gluten free. You can get regular size cupcakes as well as her "mini" ones. There are also various brownies and other bars available here. She's made the space welcoming and pleasant. They plan to have some birthday parties and other small gatherings in the space. This is a nice addition to Hertle. Same side as Kostas 2 doors down. Street meter parking. read more

I absolutely love this bakery! The cupcakes are off the hook! It is safe to say my fiancé and I have an addiction. If you're in the area stop by and see for yourself. Can't say enough great things about the owner and her creative cupcake combinations. read more

Absolutely wonderful chocolate chip crumb cake! Just passing through and looking for something sweet. What a great find! You can't go wrong with these treats. read more

Blackbird Sweets & Pasta Peddler share the same storefront on Hertel Avenue. Blackbird Sweets has a variety of fresh pastries made on the premises. My father loves their coffee crumbcakes. They don't last long in the fridge because he can't resist them. As a gluten sensitive person, I love Blackbird's outstanding chocolate-chip cookies and date bars. I recommend that you call ahead to check if their gluten-free options are available that day. Though I can't eat their other pastries, the cakes and cupcakes look beautiful and delightful. Judging on what my father and I enjoy, I assume those are just as good. And yes, you can buy coffee on the premises. I enjoy talking to the owner, Andrea. Usually I learn something about food. Check out the reviews for Pasta Peddler. read more

Blackbird Sweets made my amazing wedding cake. I received more compliments about my cake than I did my appearance! Seriously though, the cake was to DIE FOR! Best I've ever had. Yummmm! The owner is also super sweet and KIND... she did everything in her power to make this cake all about ME. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Friendly atmosphere and it smells great as soon as you walk in! Cookies are to die for and the vanilla caramel cupcake was AMAZING!

I planned my wedding blind. Destination wedding and I had no idea where to go. I called up Blackbird and they were able to fit my date in. Andrea is amazing to work with and made me feel at ease. We ordered a 2 tier cake, cupcakes and crumb cake favors. Everything looked and tasted amazing!!. read more

Now this is how cupcakes should taste. Very moist, rich and delightful. The butter cream frosting is to die for. Giving four stars because it is pricey read more

I've been here on numerous occasions. I've had cookies and cupcakes and crumb cakes and rice krispy treats. All have been delicious. You can just taste that everything is made with quality ingredients and lots of love. The setting is absolutely wonderful and the service is friendly and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can certainly get dessert to go, but it's even lovelier to linger over a sweet treat at one of the cute little tables. read more

Love this bakery! My favorite cupcake there is carrot cake- the frosting is sooo rich. The garlic wheat pasta was also super good. Everyone was super nice and friendly. Will be stopping by very often! read more

I know a lot of people who are a big fan of this bakery. Great cupcakes and the owner was very sweet, therefore, I will definitely be back!

The desserts here are wonderful. I've tried the cupcakes, the crumbcake and even cookies. They have all kinds of favorite flavors, plus they even Corn and Jalapeno cookies? Yup! Everything is moist and full of flavor AND there is no skimping on the frosting here! A quaint little shop on Hertel near Kostas. Parking out front. There is limited seating and some local coffee. There is even a winter market here with vendors; like goat milk products, root veggies, and homemade doggie treats. read more

This is my favorite place for cupcakes and cakes. I order every year for my sons' birthdays. Cakes are always moist and perfectly decorated. I love stopping in on Saturdays for stuffed bagels, pasta and sauce (from the Pasta Peddler located in the same space), cookies, cupcakes and local/Buffalo themed items. read more

The BEST cupcakes I ever had, I always end up with a 6 pack because it's impossible to choose with all the different kinds!

Love love love their cupcakes. A decent price for a fancy cupcake ($2.75) which I appreciate. Can't get enough of their cream cheese frosting and their buckeye cupcakes. But all the others I've tried have also been scrumptious. Would highly recommend if you sweets! read more

So delicious! I'm pretty picky about my cupcakes, and these are no joke insanely good. The other baked goods are pretty amazing as well! It's a great local family business who really cares a lot about the neighborhood too. Awesome people! read more
