Cafe Blackbird

I absolutely love Café Blackbird. Their garden salad with Greek dressing, the Hippie veggie sandwich, and the Greek sandwich are among my favorite things to order. The portions are large, prices are very reasonable, and everything is fresh and delicious. The desserts are another major highlight - BEST cookies ever!! I always just get my orders to-go, but need to hang out in there and dine in one day. Employees are always friendly, and I can’t recommend this place enough.

Great local place for soups, salads, sandwiches and pastries. They also have a great coffee bar. All food items are made from scratch daily. Locally owned and operated. This is a must stop for breakfast or lunch if your in downtown historic Denison Texas!

One of my favorite cafes! Prices are pretty good considering portion size and quality of food. There’s always a good variety of sandwiches and desserts on the menu. The new coffee bar is a big hit.

Cafe Blackbird was great! The ambience was warm and the food was delicious. When it’s warmer outside and the road construction has been finished, sitting outside is a must!

On the outside, this is the perfect addition to Denison's ever-growing Main Street. And on the inside, this beautiful, quaint cafe has a lot of potential. It reminds me of a spot on McKinney's eclectic town square. However, I just don't think Denison is ready for the inflated prices on Cafe Blackbird's menu. And maybe I'm wrong... as the line was almost out the door when we arrived.

My half sandwich/cup of soup and small half slice of orange was not worth the $9.50. The bread was a nice artisan bread (which I'd return to buy a loaf of for morning toast), but the chicken salad and tomato basil soup were just okay. I didn't get to eat the orange as my plate was whisked away while I was pretty much finishing up. I felt rushed and not very welcome the entire time. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, though; this could be because they've been busy with their grand opening and staff training.

Also, the cookie I ordered was forgotten when my food was delivered to the table, and when I went to inquire about it, I was told they were baking more and that it would be about 12 minutes until they were ready. At $3.75 a piece, you know I was waiting for this cookie. Fast forward about 30 minutes and (feeling like a complete B) I had to ask again.

Not sure when/if I'll return. Employees (and most patrons) weren't wearing masks and six-feet distances were not being enforced. The visit as a whole just didn't feel comfortable. I wish them well, though. Denison needs growth, especially on Main, and businesses such as this will definitely help.

Met someone here for an interview. Great atmosphere and good service. Coffee and food were decent. One complaint, it’s a breakfast place….and they don’t open till 9am?

THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD! We got there right as the looked like they were closing (even though their Google posting says they close at 6PM & it was 145PM). We both got the Toasted turkey sandwiches & they were huge! So yummy - you can tell they have artisanal touches behind their items. We followed it with some sticky toffee pudding from the dessert case - which was AMAZING! We will be back & hopefully won’t feel like we gotta leave so soon after eating. 👍🏼

I was very disappointed when I came to Blackbird Cafe on small business Saturday. I wanted to support them, and their website showed they were open, but when I came to the restaurant it was closed. I was really looking forward to a toasted turkey sandwich, but I will have to find somewhere else for lunch. I wonder how much business they are losing today when the rest of Downton Denison is busy…?

Excellent location for lunch. Soup, salads, sandwiches, coffee, tea and dessert. Quiet place to meet up with friends and family. Service is excellent. Food is good. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you for another amazing lunch. So far we have not been disappointed. Amazing salads. Unfortunately, we ordered the wrong sandwiches. Even so, they were very good. Thank you.
