I live in Dallas and frequently visit friends in the Sherman area. I saw Cafe Blackbird when I was driving through Denison several months ago and finally got to try it this weekend! It is a very cute café on the inside and out, a very nice cozy atmosphere. My friend and I had the same thing, the Hippie veggie sandwich with turkey added, some chips and a glass of iced tea. The sandwich was very good and on toasted sourdough bread. It was a very large sandwich and we both ate only half and took the other half home for later! A person could definitely split the sandwich and be just fine. We also purchased a slice of chocolate cake, a slice of toffee cake, three pieces of buttermilk pie and a loaf of the pumpkin bread, to go. ( don't judge) My mother makes buttermilk pie so I wanted to try this out on other family members and I hate to say this, but their buttermilk pie was better than my moms! The hint of lemon really set it apart, a bit like a lemon chess pie. Chocolate cake , And the toffee cake we're also very delicious! Light and fluffy and not overloaded on icing. And this morning we all had a piece of the pumpkin bread with our morning coffee, it was also very good and moist. Everyone approved! Next time I am in the Denison area, I will definitely stop in and try out the other menu items. And some coffee, too! read more

Cafe Blackbird - Garden salad with turkey added and an apple cider vinegar dressing. Gluten free toast in the side. - Sandwiches Near Me - Denison, Texas

Fantastic food! Now I'm never going to be able to go to any of the other sandwich shops around Denison/Sherman again...THE tomato basil soup was phenomenal and tasted so fresh and the 3 different sandwiches we tried were all on point! The Greek, the grown up grilled cheese, and the pimento BLT, thank you for creating such a good option in Denison! Please open one in Sherman too! read more

Great place for soup and sandwich. Loved their Tomato Basil soup. Atmosphere was great. Love the way they have decorated

Lunch and desserts are great but breakfast is notttt good. Cute place but not a breakfast place!

Amazing place! Delicious food and desserts. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Very nicely decorated inside and out. Definitely recommend stopping by and trying them out. They even have kid friendly options, my kiddos really enjoyed their grilled cheese. read more

Just the right amount of great sandwiches, soup, and dessert. I love this place. Local eateries need more love. So many complaints about price. Non from me. The food is amazing. Service is amazing and local eateries work really hard to put out an amazing menu. This place isn't over priced. The food and atmosphere are perfect. The inside of the building is so nice. You will feel very comfortable and satisfied while eating and leaving. Really nice place to eat. Give the locals a chance. read more

Cafe Blackbird has great food, and it's such a cute restaurant. It also has patio seating and bakery items.

This is such a quaint and cozy little sandwich shop! Everything is freshly baked, in house and the bread is to die for- pillowy and crusty and lightly toasted on the hot sandwiches, it makes for a rather enjoyable mid-day escape. I indulged in a chocolate chip walnut cookie and am so thankful that I'm far away from this shop because those could get really dangerous, they're so good- salty and sweet and chewy with a lightly crispy edge! There is covered patio seating as well as indoor seating and the staff feels like old friends. Will definitely venture back! 4 stars because the tomato basil soup left some things to be desired, but still good for sandwich dunking. read more

Amazing sandwiches and soups. Make sure to save room for dessert -- cakes, pies, cookies!

Great sandwiches! And the sweets looked amazing, unfortunately we didn't have time. Will definitely go back!

Great Food, needs to have a location in sherman! The deserts are wonderful, the pimento cheese in the Cranturkey sandwiches are awesome!

I've eaten here once and gotten take out twice. The first time (dine in) was AMAZING, I got a sandwich I didn't order but ate anyway and it was really good. However, the last 2 times we've gotten take out it was a waste of money. We ordered cake with our food that was so dry it was inedible...I gave them another chance and ordered broccoli cheese soup and it was the worst soup I've ever had in my life. Panera has better soup and cheaper. I'll wait a while before I attempt to eat here again. read more

The people here are amazing. Made from scratch deserts, everything is so yummy I can't stand it! The place is beautiful and so convenient!

I'm building a house in Denison and came out to check the progress today. I decided to travel the little downtown area and try a local eatery. Cafe Blackbird was the PERFECT choice for my first Denison meal. High quality, fresh ingredients from top to bottom. The best Tomato Basil soup (yes even better than La Madeleine) I've ever had. The toasted turkey sandwich was incredible. Delicious turkey, avocado, bacon and the best slices of sourdough I've eaten since I traveled to San Francisco. I cannot wait for this to be a regular hangout for me as the desserts and coffee are just as amazing. I'm partaking in vanilla poundcake with a lemon glaze and drinking a vanilla latte. Just incredible. read more

Not the friendliest staff on Main Street, but if you're looking for fresh food with lots of variety you can find it here. I personally like the chicken salad with shredded chicken, and the grown-up grilled cheese is also a Favorites. read more

Cute sandwich shop with salads and desserts! Toasted turkey sandwich was very good. No fountain drinks but can drinks with ice chest ice! Very neat interior walls and decor read more

I had heard how delicious Cafe Blackbird was friend that had tried it! So I went with friends & it did not disappoint! I had the pimento cheese BLT. It was absolutely delicious. I also tried the Blueberry Bread pudding! Oh my it was wonderful. The staff was friendly & efficient. The atmosphere was relaxing & beautiful! I will be telling friends & family they must try it out! read more

This cafe is a hidden gem! Both the outside and inside are the cutest. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food was yummy, and everything seemed so fresh. They even have gluten free options which is a rare find out here. I will definitely stop here again on my next road trip. read more

Cafe Blackbird - Sandwiches Near Me - Denison, Texas

We stopped in for lunch on our way back from Choctaw. What a cute little place! The food was amazing and service was an A+++! When we were asking questions about the menu the employees were all so passionate about telling us about the place. To me that speaks volumes when people like where they work and take pride in talking about it! We will definitely be back and may even take the hour drive just to grab lunch one day. I definitely recommend you try it out! read more

Not only is the cutest little cafe around the food is awesome too. I really enjoyed sitting outside on a quiet Saturday morning eating the ham and spinach quiche. The toast was good and the jelly was a nice touch. Love this place will be back soon. read more

Amazing fresh food in a beautiful place! Bread is baked fresh daily and the desserts are delicious!

If you're looking for a big Texas breakfast, this isn't the place. I think I could have eaten the entire menu and left hungry. No way to have a decent meal from the menu. You have to go up to the counter to order and pay, you are asked to leave a tip before you get your food, or before you experience any service. As a traveler, this was a waste of time and money, by the time we got to Dallas ( about an hour), we stopped for lunch. In fairness, my wife thought the place was cute and the perfect place to meet a girl friend to sit and talk. She loved the ambiance. read more

Driving to Colorado for a two day turn around and found this little gem in a tiny Town. I was sick of eating fast food on road trips so my husband and I stopped here for some lighter fare and homemade dessert. I had the Greek sandwich with fresh cantaloupe and chips with peach tea and I was very happy! Sooo good! Husband bhad the Reuben and it was also fantastic! We shared the homemade strawberry shortcake with fresh whipped cream and left very happy and not full of greasy 'eat on the road' fare! Hope to pass through again someday! Fantastic and friendly service too! read more

These ladies were hustling today! The busiest I have ever seen, I normally come in on the end of the service. But what I wanted to write about was that the owner, Carli, had refreshed her menu with great tastes! Today I had their Tuna Melt. I would so recommend this to every one!!! My daughter was being picky and not feeling the sandwich but was head over heels for the chips and the selection of seasonal fruit! I love the choices offered here! A little something for every one from different strokes. Stop by! read more

This place is so adorable! Food is amazing... especially the deserts!!! I love seeing locals as well as new visitors to our town.

We stopped in for lunch after hiking at Eisenhower Park. The food is fabulous. Homemade bread made the best sandwiches. Highly recommend.

This was my find of the week. While fatigued and hungry I spied with my little eye what I initially thought to be a quaint little antique shop. To my pleasant surprise it was a cafe and was I ever starving. I entered the shop to find old fashion, down-home, southern hospitality combined with home cooking. Call me crazy, just don't call me late for supper. I had the "veggie sandwich" and slap my buttered biscuits!! It was good! I scarfed it down in now time. Don't fly through these quite little southern towns because you might just be missing out. They offered fresh homemade pies, cakes, and southern charm. It's nice to meet folks who don't have to be color blind to like. It is the kind of place where no one is a stranger. We are just friends who haven't met yet. Hats off to good food, even better conversation, and artistic, charming atmosphere. read more

Cute little cafe'- we were traveling through on a 17 hour road trip. We stoped here for an earlyish dinner. We gladly pulled in to this place.

Good luck to this olsce read more

Cafe Blackbird - What's left of my sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Denison, Texas

Found this gem on a road trip through Texas! So glad we stopped! A sign outside they stated they had the world's best cookies, and they were definitely top notch! Can't leave without trying one! In fact the only thing I regret about stopping here was not buying a few extra for the road. The decor inside is adorable and cozy. The service was beyond expectations and they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Next time in the area, I'll definitely be stopping by here again! read more

Great spot! So glad I found it. Drive through regularly on my way to the Panhandle and didn't realize this place existed until today's trip. Will be back often when driving through. Nice atmosphere, exceptional food! read more

The first clue of this restaurant being awesome was the long line waiting to place an order. The next "attention getters" were the very clean building, the wide variety of home baked displayed desserts, and the many staff members quickly moving around helping guests. The food was excellent! I ordered a Reuben sandwich which was filled with tasty corn beef and the Zuppa Toscana soup which was very flavorful. We were a group of four so we ordered four desserts. All four were fresh and excellent! Our favorite was the warm blueberry, vanilla bread pudding. I highly recommend this wonderful new business on Main Street, Denison!! read more

What an awesome little gem to stop for home made sandwiches as you make your way through town. The ladies passed along the typical sweet southern hospitality. They only serve sandwiches, soups and salads but everything we had was very good. Will definitely keep this bookmarked in case we pass this way again. read more

This IS the place to stop for lunch. So cute. Great food, and 3 generations behind the counter. Thank you BB Cafe for a great lunch stop!

Too expensive for a sandwich. $9.50!! And nothing special! Felt very uncomfortable as no associates were wearing masks. Iced tea was in a container where all customers were touching the spicket. Silverware not wrapped and everyone touching it. Lemons for tea were in the open and tongs were laying in the lemons that everyone touched!!Bathrooms had a roll of paper towels on a household holder. Not sanitary to Covid standards! When you pay, the cashier takes your payment and gives you a cup of ice from an ice chest. She wears no gloves, handles the money and gives you your cup of ice from a scoop that is left in the ice chest with her germs on the handle. Such a nice place but needs to become more Covid conscience! Won't be back! Felt too uncomfortable!! read more

Good lunch spot in beautiful downtown Denison. Good food, quick service. I may be wrong but I don't think they have a soda fountain but they have refills on tea and have fresh lemon for the tea. read more
