WOW. I had lunch at a pizza shop next door and a friend suggested we pop over for a pastry. I was…read morenot prepared for what awaited me. Tours was bright, cheery, and had soooo many pastries. It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!

Stopped in near closing time on a cold December night and were pleasantly surprised by the numerous…read morechoices of beautiful pastries and breads that were still available. Couldn't believe it when I a friend told me this place has been in operation for years. Guess I need to venture over to Lawrence from Topeka more often! While not the case across the board, we found a number of the items we selected to be on par with the quality of treats we enjoy while visiting France. Needless to say I will be wearing out the Turnpike making return visits to this real gem.

Five hours here this morning, Blackbird was my office. It was noisy enough that I could sit at a…read moretable in the back, enjoy my cortado and then a second swimming pool sized drip coffee, and have no issue with emails, Zoom calls and just generally working undisturbed. It's not quiet, but it's comfortable and at least in the back, easy enough to sit and pound away at the keyboard. Oh, and the coffee was excellent. I love it when a coffee shop serves their cortado in the proper short glass. It was perfection. [Review 794 of 2026 - 134 in Kansas - 25975 overall]

The food was top-notch, bursting with fresh flavors that never let me down. The carrot cake was a slice of heaven--moist, perfectly spiced, and topped with a smooth, rich cream cheese frosting that complemented the cake's warmth beautifully. Each bite was just the right balance of sweetness and depth. The hot chocolate was decadent and comforting, with a velvety texture and just the right amount of chocolatey richness. It was served piping hot, topped with a fluffy cloud of whipped cream, making it the perfect pairing to finish off a cozy night. The service was impeccable - our server was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambience was perfect for a night out, with a cozy yet lively vibe. And the live music was the highlight of the evening, creating such a great atmosphere. Five stars all the way - I highly recommend it!

They're always busy but it's the kind of shop where all are welcome. They'll make room for you!
