Blackbird Espresso

Blackbird Espresso is my ideal of a coffee shop! It has old fashioned wing backed chairs positioned in front of a fireplace and lots of electrical outlets. There is a nice bicycle shop next door. Blackbird Espresso has superb coffee, simple, tasty meals, and wonderful desserts. I ordered an extra hot latte and an apple galotte. Heavenly! The staff is friendly and professional and it is easy to start conversations with other customers. Highly recommended!

They coffee was expertly made by the baristas! Great atmosphere! If we lived in the area we would frequent this place often. Stopping here in the morning before we headed out to pick for our Etsy shop was just the jolt of energy we needed!

Amazing gluten free breakfast pastries like muffins which is good for me because of an intolerance. I wish they could make gluten free breakfast sandwiches though. I'd eat there everyday if they did! The coffee taste burn though.

Easily one of the best places for coffee in the Black Hills. This place is all about great espresso. Coffee drinks are the right temperature, i.e. you can enjoy your latte right away and it will be smooth and rich, not overly bitter. Prices on drinks are extremely fair. Limited food menu by design. Amazing staff and a great "coffee house" vibe without relying on too much kitsch. Not really a young kids place, but not unfriendly to youngster.

Do not recommend** Don’t go there if you don’t have more then 30 minutes to wait for your order. Upon every occasion I have been to blackbird, they have had only one staff member working and are extremely slow & being that this happens every time, I think it warrants a review. On today’s particular occasion, I placed an order as the only customer in the shop. Following my order(an açaí bowl, which was quite mediocre), 3 groups of people entered after me and the worker proceeded to take their orders as well, not a big deal. 15 minutes had gone by, the man working had served every person after me their drinks and began preparing their food. I reminded the worker I was still waiting for my order and had an appointment to be at in 10 minutes (25 minute had gone by at this point). He finally began preparing my order only to stop halfway through to take another order. Safe to say it took close to 40 minutes to get my order and after two times speaking with the worker, I was late for an appointment. There are many other local coffee shops with equally priced, better quality service, staff and food.

I have been traveling around Wyoming and South Dakota for 6 weeks and absolutely without a doubt Blackbird Esspresso is THE BEST!!! The girls that were working when I went in were kind and thoughtful. But ohhhh the coffee!!!❤️

If you really like coffee, like seriously, this is the place. Classic coffeehouse atmosphere that's sincere yet all inclusive. Food offerings are limited, clearly by design. Not a ton of novelty coffee confections with lots of syrup. But not devoyed of quirk. Very fair prices.

When my wife and I come to Spearfish we always stop here in the mornings. This place singlehandedly kicked off my Acai bowl obsession. A bowl, a poptart and an Iced latte is the perfect start to a fun day in the Black Hills. Highly recommend it!

Very nice coffee house with an interesting assortment of local pastries. Prices are reasonable, indoor seating a bit smallish. You should expect some competition for seating by locals...but as always that is a good sign of quality!

The food was amazing, we had various pastries and the ploughman sandwich reminded us of a European breakfast sandwich.
