Blackbird Cafe

Soups, sandwiches, and avariety of teas, coffee and excellent hot cocoa. We had perfectly toasted bagels and cream cheese with butternut squash bisque and hot cocoa. A comforting and tasty treat in a tranquil environment. I will be coming back soon for a pot of tea and some pie.

My favorite coffee shop in Valparaiso. Has a true coffee shop vibe, not a cold sterile corporate shtick. The service is always friendly and the baked goods divine. If I'm working in North Central Indiana I try to stop by. This is one coffee shop worth going out of your way for, even in heavy snowfall.

My absolute favorite cafe in town. I love Uptown and Fluid too, but this place absolutely SERVES in the food department. Every food item I have had from this place has been absolutely wonderful. Their roasted veggie/portabella and goat cheese sandwich has to be one of my favorite sandwiches in town. You just HAVE to try it! Their broccoli and cheddar quiche (not pictured) was the first one I ever had and it was spectacular as well. Additionally, I have had their nutella streudel (which was basically a nutella pop-tart but with puff pastry) and it was absolutely divine. The coffee is pretty good as well and they a good variety of syrup flavors to choose from (my favorite is the Torani sugar free caramel :) ). This is absolutely one of my go-to places in Valpo and heavily recommended for anyone who visits (not to mention it's right downtown too!).

Been going to Blackbird edging on a decade now. Coffee is consistent and good, even back when I could only afford to get a drip coffee. The food offered is pretty good, too. I like their breakfast sandwiches best. These days, I get a Thai coffee and it can’t be beat. Dunkin, Starbucks, uptown, any other cafe or coffee shop can’t compare to Blackbird.

Worked there for about a summer some years back; the employees work hard to provide the service that they do, and deserve appreciation. The variety of offerings ensure that anyone can find something to enjoy.

It’s a nice place to sit and enjoy a drink and a snack with company, or to bring a book and read. I don’t think I could get any work done there myself, but I see plenty of others on their laptops studying or working or whatever else one does on a computer in a cafe.

Ready-To-Drink TEMPERATURE!!

First local business visit in Valpo.
This coffee shop was mentioned by a local. So we decided to make a visit!
Parking was a concern until we notice the Lincoln Way public parking that is across the intersection.
The initial impression of Blackbird Cafe was welcoming, clean and open.
Their service was top-notch. We ordered a Carmel Macchiato. They prepared the beverage to in two fashions and allowed us to choose our preference.
The desserts looked amazing. Initially we had some concerns of the shelf-age, with their high frequency of customer flow. The said concern was quickly dismissed.
The Carmel Macchiato was made perfectly and was delicious.

Coffee is good. Other items are a little pricey. When you checkout and pay with a card, there is a dodgy screen that pops up for a tip. Is fairly deceptive as it looks as if you HAVE to leave a tip. Which normally I wouldn't have an issue doing as I am a heavy tipper. I only ordered a coffee and muffin to go. This is a very common practice these days with asking for a tip for everything. A bit frustrating to say the least. I just also noticed on my bank account there was more debited that I expected. I'm not saying they stole, but rather I'm certain I didn't select no tip correctly in this case. So watch out for this!!!

so i went to order a matcha. the woman behind the counter and asked if i wanted it sweeter or more matcha-y. i asked what she recommended. she replied: "a lot of younger people order it and like it sweeter"
the drinks are very good, they were very friendly otherwise, however i recommend if youre going to interact with the baristas make sure you have full make-up on and dont look like youre having a bad day. and dont write reviews that reflect that.
matcha latte 10/10.

When it comes to coffee I’m very fussy. So I was very happy to find Blackbird Cafe. Travelling for work from Australia for an extended stay, this is my go to place for a great coffee.

Nice lil spot to sit and enjoy a drink. The Nutty Monkey is the bomb! Will be a regular stop for me

blackbird has got to be the best place to get coffee in town. the workers are kind and hard workers and the coffee is amazing. i am so glad i stopped going to starbucks and started supporting a small, local business. go check them out!
