Blackbird Bakery

I have to give it 4 out of 5 simply because I haven’t tried anything but one item, which was a raspberry macaron! It was a tasty little treat, and the shop was filled with cute, yummy looking desserts and the smell of a sweet southern kitchen. Can’t wait to stop back by.

So glad a friend recently recommended this superb bakery. Everything I’ve had has been amazing (good Lord, the brownies), the atmosphere is a delight, and the $ 1 day-​old bread for W&M students is an unbeatable deal. Wish I would’ve found it sooner!

This place is great! I love that it’s not just another cupcake gimmick, it’s a real bakery! I love to pick up a collection of tasty treats for visiting friends and family and they are always so impressed by the variety Blackbird has to offer. The fruit tarts are my personal favorite but I’ve never been disappointed by anything!

What a sweet little bakery!
We stopped in here and tried four various desserts, from pound cakes to chocolate tart. Each one was delicious and we felt the prices were very reasonable, especially compared to our bakeries at home.
Don’t miss a chance to grab a sweet treat and sit on one of the benches to soak up the ambiance of merchants square.

I was going to stop by and try this bakery on the way to Newport News, but they closed before their posted hours. Needless to say, I am disappointed. Hopefully they will be open the next time I am in town so that I can update this review.

Placed special order 2 days ago. Show up to pick it up and made to wait 25 minutes. «Sorry…» afterward.
Customer service needs work!

I’ve been here a couple of times to give it a shot — but every time I’ve come here the service has been awful and I’ve never had anything good. The pastries and bread are not good and they’re overpriced.

Got there late on a Monday and they still had a great selection. Very tasty brownies, and a big portion. Friendly staff.

My son has declared the Blackbirds Bakery Brownie ‘the BEST he has ever had!’
Very cute shop, lots of delicious goodies. We were happy to stumble upon this treasure.

I’ve been in Williamsburg for a month waiting for my daughters apartment to be finished and the black bird bakery has been my almost daily stop for coffee and baked goods for the family. The raspberry macaroons are scrumptious and the girls favorites, the muffins and croissants are my husband favorites. Everything is so delicious. The staff is friendly, they care to remember you and you meet amazing people staff and customers alike.
Will miss this part of my morning routine when I return home

Hands down the BEST brownies ever !!! One brownie was under $ 4 and must’ve weighed like 2 pounds ??
Aside from that it was juicy and so tasty ! It’s a must buy after walking down the street and is a nice reward !!!

My husband and I took our son to Colonial Williamsburg at the beginning of the summer. It’s just wrong to let a pregnant woman into a bakery. Just wrong. I first spied a single serving of tiramisu. I’m sure while I was scanning the display case frantically looking over all the desserts trying to decide what I wanted to get. Luckily, the prices were actually reasonable. I’m sure all the customers heard my gasps when I’d spot another sweet I just had to get. I ended up getting the tiramisu, a lemon loaf, and one of their chocolate cupcakes. They were yummy and at a reasonable cost, not that Williamsburg price you expect to pay.

This place gets 5 stars for service because the guy behind the counter KNOWS HIS *#($*!!! I’m not sure if he’s the kind of person you want when you’re in a rush, but I was just moseying around CW window shopping and was pleased to stop into this cozy little sweets shop.
He knew everything about the different kinds of breads and how they might be used, and could tell me the background of the bakery and how each of the items were made. (i.e. Everything but the french macarons are made in the nearby kitchens.) They had samples at the front for these sweets I’ve never tried before, and every day they have discounted day-​old bread bags.
I ended up getting the passion fruit tart with chocolate shavings on top and YUM. The crust, the balance of the passion fruit with the chocolate… a surprising winner in my mouth!
Prices are typical for in-​house baked goods, i.e. less than $ 5 for a little tart, a couple $ for a baguette, etc. Some of the prices are not displayed, so you have to ask. There were these giant sticky buns that were less than $ 5 that I was really curious about – might be worth another visit to try (seemed like a good value for the size).
Note: This is just a bakery stand and not a place where you can sit down and enjoy your treats with a coffee or something. Think more old-​world boulangerie bread stop before buying cheeses and charcuterie at another shop kind of thing.

Stopped in for a treat after a long day of walking & had I trouble deciding because everything looked and smelled wonderful! I settled on (two) chocolate chip cookies, which were sweet and buttery. I also enjoyed the shop’s individually packaged tea and rock candy, clever and winning combination.

Quality & cute bakery with a wide variety of sweets. The lady that helped us was very attentive and helpful. I visited with my family, and we ordered the blueberry muffin, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, macarons, and coffee cake. Definitely will come back to have the tiramisu again and try the other desserts, which looked equally as delectable.

This place only gets 3 stars because this lady behind the counter was coughing. Eww, and I ordered this delicious apple bread pudding. Roughy a little under $ 4 and worth the price.

After lunch I like to stop here to satisfy my sweet tooth. Really good bread sweets and jams. And the fruit tarts… WOW!

Fantastic, fresh, and tasty! The woman helping us was so friendly and the mixed berry fruit tart was to die for!

Love love love bakeries!
Bakeries are so hard to come by in this area and I am extremely thankful and excited one of such quality opened up in the CW.
This bakery is a mélange of 3 worthwhile restaurants in the area. It’s located near the Trellis (it features some of their desserts) and the Blue Talon Bistro (some of this desserts too).
Anyway, the inside is pretty small but definitely stocked with a bunch of sweets all around. The have puddings, tarts, breads, cookies, brownies and an assortments of other things. My favorite thing thus far has been their macarons. I’ve tried macarons a handful of times and I wasn’t a huge fan until I had a coffee macaron from this joint. Delicious! It’s sweet and airy. I also had a pistachio one as well and thought it was a bit too dense and sweet but still edible. The bread pudding here is firm but moist.
Asides from all the lovely baked goods this place has to offer and the clean environment plus the great location I think one of my favorite things is the service. My sister and I went here on a Sunday and the CW was on and popping but the only guy manning the front of the house was on his game, I wish I had caught his name because that guy was great. He was friendly, infinitely informative and super sweet.
I couldn’t complain… I see a 5 star in the distant future.

Cute little bakery hidden behind the many shops here in Williamsburg. It’s a gem. I haven’t been able to try the bread, but the pastries are delicious. I tried the brownies, Pecan pie, marble cheese cake, and I think it’s called the chocolate crunch or chocolate covered toast (it’s hard caramel like bread that’s very much like the Korean sweet bbokki). All of them were so delicious. The chocolate crunch, however, was a little difficult to eat and rather rich. It’s really hard, and difficult to chew. Those with braces or weak teeth should maybe stay away from them. The guy working there was really helpful, and understanding despite our indecisiveness. Nice place to check out if you’re in the area.
