Blackbird Infoshop

Excellent selection of books; I encourage anyone who seeks neat vintage novels, essays, etc… to shop here. Owner was lovely and open to any conversation. There are some who might disagree with his political ideologies, but truly he was a pleasure to talk to, and if you want to expand your perspective on any of broad issues of the 21st century, give this place a visit.

I had a wonderful experience at this cafe! The ambiance is incredibly cozy, and the almond croissants were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying them. I also enjoyed their iced maple latte, which was a delightful treat. The added bonus of a board game rack made the visit even more entertaining. A must-visit spot!

This and places like this must multiply across the Hudson Valley to help form a stronger foundation and network of people aching for social justice to help find like-minded folks to meet, discuss ideas, or just chill and catch a bite to eat, make a new friend or find a cool book to borrow/buy. The menu is simple and looks perfect. The coffee was very good indeed. Great atmosphere. Hope there is enough "solidarity" in the community to help build this classy joint into a little social hub! Solidarność !!

Loved being at this coffee shop. First of all, the cappuccino art was beautiful and it tasted smooth. The croissant was buttery and crispy. But what shocked me was this was the most political coffee shop that I’ve ever been in my life. Andrew who made me cappuccino said it was sliding scale bc food should be free. I was touched and grateful that this kind of place existed. And the book shelf had Black study, feminist study, sci-fi fictions. I’ve been wanting to read Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin for a while and he just lend me the book for free and told me to bring it back or give it to someone else when I’m done reading.

Fantastic place to grab a coffee and a treat. I was happy to hear the coffee is brewed locally in Rosendale. They have an all vegan menu with pastry’s and cookies from local bakers. There are Lots of gifts and trinkets for sale and there is even a community library! Wow! Next time I hope I have time to sit and read a book or open my laptop. Andrew, the owner of the shop has plans to have artists decorate parts of the exterior so I can’t wait to visit and see the progress.
