Another fun surprise was discovering that you can write and send postcards from here. I thought that was such a unique touch and something you don't see very often.

The espresso tasted bitter and burnt in both of our drinks. The vanilla syrup was not great either. The white mocha was better but it is difficult to mess that up. Hate to give a low review since the staff was so nice! They did seem busy, so sadly sometimes that leads to rushed drinks that are not great in quality. I wouldn't recommend trying this place. Definitely seems like a trending fad that is not giving the best quality products.

My quiche had undersalted eggs, strange-tasting cheese, and a crust that ate as if it were microwaved. And my brother didn't finish his mocha - which is just so rare for him - and he described it as Swiss Miss. On top of that, we waited a good 20 minutes for our disappointing food and drinks. The struggling sole person working the bar, the oven, and the register really needed a coworker. It was a typical cafe vibe inside. One guy taking a FaceTime, a party of 10 rekindling old connections, and couples spending their morning together.

A cozy feel, with ample seating.

There's a small amount of seating, but it's not really intended to be a sit down place to have a meal, but rather a place to grab something before or after a ferry ride.

We grabbed a couple of stools and happily ate our fare in the 20 minutes before the ferry was scheduled. Tasty and filling. The wait staff behind the counter was pleasant, speedy and helpful. Now, could they please add something equivalent at the Seattle Ferry Terminal!!

(There's another Bainbridge place where the temperature is notably too hot and it detracts from the enjoyment of the drink.) I like the curated drinks on offer here including craft kombucha, cocktails, and wine at the bar... For a place attached to state highway infrastructure, they could have done a mediocre job, but I note that this is a classy establishment that takes pride in offering good coffee. Now I wonder why Seattle Ferry Terminal cannot have a comparable coffee shop and we have to put up with those drat machines?

Blackbird Bakery is the only bakery that popped up in my search results when I was doing research…read moreon where to grab pastries for breakfast during my visit to Bainbridge Island. It's clear this was the case for others as well, as there was a large line extending outside the door onto the sidewalk when we arrived around 10:00 a.m. I ordered their multigrain toast with jam along with a savory croissant. The toast comes heavily buttered and the savory croissant for the day was topped with the fillings you'd fine in a spanakopita -- i.e. spinach and feta. I really loved the thickness of the toast slice and the degree that they toasted it: soft and fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. They did not hold back from including a bunch of seeds in the bread, and that added a nice texture in every bite. The jam is on the sweeter side, but I like that it's on the side so you can control exactly how much sweetness you want to add. The savory croissant had good flakiness to it, but it would have been nice if we had an option to have it toasted. Overall, very good bakery that I'd gladly visit again if I'm back on Bainbridge Island. Definitely get the toast.
