Blackbird Baking Company
1391 Sloane Ave, Lakewood, OH
Crema's Take
“Blackbird Baking Company is a hidden gem where the espresso drinks are executed with real precision and tradition, but honestly, the show-stoppers are the croissants—locals rave about their perfect flakiness and fillings like divine apricot that justify the hunt to find this Lakewood spot. Beyond coffee, their house-made bread and cookies have built a devoted following, and the casual dine-in space fills quickly with people who know that this combination of skillfully pulled shots and exceptional pastries is genuinely hard to find.”

Why it takes so long to find this place 😪 One of the best pastries and bread shops. Coffee is great as well. It also opened on weekends.
This was my first visit, and it was phenomenal. I love a croissant, so I got an assortment and ate a little of several. The almond was lovely but the apricot was DIVINE. All of them were beautifully flakey and buttery. Because my son insisted we also got a dog cookie. My lab isn't picky, but she was very happy and ran to hide with her treat which she only does if it is special to her.
Heard about this via one of the employees of Cleveland curiosities. She wasn’t lying— some of the best cookies I’ve had for a while. Bread is very nice and soft, London fog was nice and creamy. I appreciate the outdoor seating and the cream and sugar available. WiFi is available too, as well as charging ports. Staff were super friendly, very short wait time. Definitely recommend!
This may be the best coffee/bakery combination in Ohio. The croissants are absolutely perfect. The cappuccino and lattes are extremely traditional and well made. There was a crowd of people in line, and it was worth the wait. Good things in life are worth waiting for. Buy some bread for the weekend and enjoy a real latte. It doesn't get much better than this.
Found another great local option for my fav menu item - the ham and cheese croissant 🥐. Fresh, Flaky, Amazing 🥐croissant!!! Nice lil dine in spot . Tried out a pumpkin latte too. Friendly service. As solo guest, enjoyed the window seating to do some reading, found the surrounding buzz of activity comforting and relaxing. Felt at home with many other solo guests along with small groups all savoring a moment here. On a return visit today I discovered the deliciousness of their peanut butter cookies.
