The vibes are perfect old school with colorful art and delicious food and coffee. I got the bear latte, and it was perfect chocolate with just a hint of orange. The quiche was delicious, and I love a vegetarian breakfast option. I definitely recommend this spot for a delicious breakfast in a relaxed environment.

Each time I visit Old Town, I have to get coffee here! It’s always made to order, never burnt and they have the most delicious blends. My children love their cakes, they are delicious! I’ve tried the more savory offerings, they could use a little salt, but overall delicious and baked daily I assume!

Good coffee and vibe. Definitely worth visiting. They have different kind of coffee, I especially wanted to have this blackbird. Since I didn’t see it anywhere before.

Absolutely lovely. Small courtyard filled with light, sounds of birds singing and the fountain, and plenty of plants. Indoor and outdoor patio seating available. Roadrunner latte was delicious.

What a place! Wild art ambiance, excellent drinks, and friendly people. Try the prickly pear lemonade or the espresso with seltzer. The courtyard is a journey to another place. Amazing. Already planning our next visit.

This place recommended by a local. We enjoyed the coffee and pastries. The black bird coffee has chilli spice in it - added a kick to the coffee and it’s like tasting Albequieque in your month. If you’re into black magic and taro card reading, etc., there is a corner designated for that. Great location in the town Center and historic neighbourhood.

Blackbird Coffee House was such a fun place to stumble upon today. I enjoyed the Blackbird drink and liked the balance of flavors. I wish I had the time to try their other drinks as they all sounded like they would be lovely. The atmosphere is a fun mix of art, quirkiness, and community. We visited in the late afternoon and the sun rays were very pretty coming through the windows.
