Blackbird Bakery
You are invited to enjoy our made-from-scratch delicious offerings, from doughnuts to specialty coffee to cakes and more! Come to beautiful historic downtown Bristol, Virginia - or visit our new drive-thru location on Commonwealth Avenue - and step back in time when customers' names mattered and quality was an essential ingredient.

The specialty of the house is doughnuts of all varieties, but you will also find delicious pastries and desserts ranging from mouth-watering baklava and brownies, to cheesecakes, cupcakes, and pies, as well as fresh-baked bread and locally-made ice cream.
Services
Located just off State Street in historic downtown Bristol, Virginia, Blackbird Bakery opened its doors in the summer of 2008. Since then, it has become a favorite bakery shop for the locals in Bristol and the Tri-Cities area. When you visit the bakery, you will feel as though you stepped back to a time when neighbors and shop owners knew each other on a first name basis.
Blackbird Bakery is happy to support non-profit organizations and charitable causes in our community. Each year, we donate hundreds of cupcakes to Healing Hands' Valentine's Day fundraiser, and many other organizations, including United Way, Boys and Girls Club, Haven of Rest, and the Salvation Army.
We welcome customer feedback and of course we are here to answer any questions you may have. Please note: orders cannot be placed by contacting us here, so you'll need to call the bakery for order placement, as we can't monitor your emails all the time (we're busy baking all the delicious goodies).

A very good reason to travel to Bristol is the fresh donuts and cakes served at Blackbird Bakery. The atmosphere inside is very welcoming. The staff were extremely helpful and nice. One of the few places where you can get some food, sit next to the fire and relax. Highly recommend!

This is a really cool bakery! It's multi level, decorated, and has some couches to chill and enjoy your time. The display is awesome! Delicious looking deserts all over the place. And the sell Homestead Creamery ice cream! I ordered a blueberry cheesecake bar, which was very good. Not too sweet. The killer was the cookies and cream cheesecake! Delectable. Brownie crust and topped with whipped cream and ganache. Got the mini 4" (they don't serve slices of cheesecake, so this is in lieu of that) and it was great for 2 people to share. Very friendly staff as well. All in all, I would critique that

The atmosphere is nice. The prices are decent. The donuts are dense and delicious. We visited while visiting family in the area. The restroom was out of order which is not really okay with restaurant code, especially when they have a working "employee" restroom in the dining area that we could not use and was kept locked, even with the customer restroom out of order.

Went overboard on the pumpkin items. LOL The end of the season is near. Would have been 5 stars but the pumpkin cream filled doughnut was disappointing - hardly any filling.

Great bakery/coffee shop. Wide selection of pastries and small cakes, with a small ice cream section. All offerings I've tried this far have been delightful. Expect to spend between $4 and $6 per item. Interior was well-designed and spacious. Also features an outdoor section if you want to catch some sun.

An awesome find on our way to Bristol Caverns. Didn’t realize there were two locations until we had ordered at the Drive-Thru. We went early afternoon and what we purchased was fresh and delicious.

Nice bakery. Atmosphere is great. Usually playing jazz. Food is good. Had a cake batter frappe and a raspberry cheesecake this visit. A little expensive but worth the price in the long run.

Everything we got was delicious. My husband got a butter pecan waffle cone, one son got chocolate ice cream in a cup, the other got a chocolate chip cookie, and I got a blueberry lemon cheesecake bar. My bar was huge and I ate it in 3 separate sittings. Honestly one of the most delicious desserts I've ever had. The only complaint I might have is that the chocolate ice cream was a little grainy, but my son ate it and liked it anyway! Definitely will return.

Finally got a chance to visit Blackbird after so many months of missing opportunities 🙌 The interior of the bakery is classy, like a peaceful coffeehouse with amazing atmosphere. It can be busy at times so having patience is key! The employees are friendly and attentive amongst the noise. There is variety here so anyone should be able to walk away with something.
I got a few different treats to try: the strawberry dream, the chocolate dream, regular chocolate cake, apple fritters and Bavarian cream Bismarcks. The cakes were all so delicious, moist, and fresh. The frosting was rich. The portions
