Blackbird Coffee House

Great coffee! Great pastries! Great service! I tasted the Road Runner, the Hot Chocolate, and the White Mocha. All were good. Best was probably the Road Runner.
Merchandise is well priced and cool. Fun place. Easy atmosphere. If it’s not raining, outside is a good place to get school and work done. Inside is a little tight, but cozy. A place where you just instantly like the people.

THIS place! I love coffee drinks and normally I will go to different places and get one or two. I did that here but I came back and ended up with another of of the black birds it was so good perfect if you like a Latta that is slightly sweet but has more flavor then anything. So good!

Beautiful little cafe in the old town shopping area. Located inside the courtyard there is plenty of seating outside and inside. The latte I ordered was tasty.

The artwork on the walls, flowers in the garden and unique appeal of this place all add to the charm.

A cute and quaint coffee shop in the heart of the Old Town shopping district.

I was recommended to try the cactus pear nectar iced tea. However, when I visited it wasn't available. I had my heart set on the prickly pear nectar and wasn't in the mood to have coffee so I left.

But the pastries and coffee drink menu sound good.

I gave 3 stats to be neutral as I didn't taste or buy anything.

When in Abq and if you’re looking for a local cafe definitely try blackbird coffee house. It is so convenient if you’re trying to start your day at the old plaza because it is right at the entrance of the plaza. If you’re dining in the cafe itself is quite small but the outdoor seating has a garden area so grab a table and enjoy the views. The cafe has a vibrant graffiti wall for your Instagram pictures. The numerous reviews this place has is absolutely true. Their coffee is really good. Try the black bird coffee which has a mild Red Chile flavor a must try if you like something different than your usual coffee. My friend tried Bison which was light and good start for the day. We also tried the cherry pastry which was so fresh.

Very cute place and a simple menu! The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. They even have a book exchange (how cute!) The coffee is GREAT tasting and so are the pastries. My husband got the (hot) Bison and I got the (hot) Roadrunner. We shared a cherry turnover. The coffees are the right amount of coffee, flavor, and a perfect amount of sweetness. My husband had the turnover warmed. O. M. G. 🤤 Every bite was DELICIOUS. We were fighting over the last bite. Highly recommend starting your morning here!

First off, the staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Bison hot; I couldn’t really taste the red chile, but it was delicious and velvety! The taste and texture was chef’s kiss 🤌🏽 Not as good as the Cottonwood or the Roadrunner though. The Cottonwood cold had subtle smooth lavender and honey flavor. Oh and the cinnamon on the cold roadrunner was perfect. Drinks 10/10. Environment 10/10. The lighting was relaxing in combination with the smooth jazz. There are options for beautiful patio/outdoor seating with water always available inside. Would recommend for both locals and out of town visitors. My kid recommended this place after studying here.

ordered a traditional latte, and it was probably one of the best coffees I've ever had! it was lovely, just the right amount of sweetness and milk, plus the coffee taste was still intact and bright! the size was okay, I would have preferred if the large was a bit bigger. the servers were also very nice. my only issue is that flavoured syrup cost a whole extra dollar, as did dairy alternative. I understand an extra 50c, but a buck? as someone who is lactose intolerant, that really makes going out so much more expensive! but otherwise, I'd stop in again. it was great coffee, and the cafe itself was very colourful.

Tumbleweed was amazing! Price is normal over priced coffee. Nice seating area cute coffee shop overall inside and out but inside gets crowded waiting for drinks.

Will definitely come back on the next visit to try other options. Heard the other teas are great and baked goods are delicious

Tucked into a back corner in the middle of Old Town is a true gem. After the barista's recommendation, I ordered the Roadrunner Latte. With flavors of hazelnut, vanilla, and cinnamon, this oatmilk latte hit just right.

I didn't order a pastry, but the ones in the case were certainly tempting. I enjoyed my drink just outside at the table in the cool of the shade.
