Crema's Take
“Blackbird Doughnuts has genuinely kind staff and about a third of their menu is vegan, which is a real draw for dietary restrictions—but multiple recent reviews complain that the donuts taste stale and bready at premium prices, and this matches a pattern some customers noticed after the shop expanded. The coffee gets passing marks and the atmosphere works for a casual sit, but you're paying specialty doughnut prices for what reviewers consistently describe as hard pastries, so come for the values-driven service and vegan options if that matters to you, not for the product.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Amazingly fluffy donuts , so far best one I had was the eggnog donut was spectacular and their vegan variety is great when getting donuts with family that has dietary restrictions
Wow- so bad! So bad that my kids didn't want them. The donuts taste bready and stale while costing triple of the cost of Dunks. The flavors were either too sweet (toffee) or not sweet enough(weirdly, Boston cream- one of the sweetest donuts out there). The service wasn't good…
I just went here for the first time. I’m vegan and there were so many options for donuts! Approximately 1/3 of the donuts are vegan. I also got a matcha. The special flavor available right now is blueberry lavender matcha. I like sweet drinks and this one tastes like cereal…
