I did NOT like Cobbs when they were there. Too commercial. Blackbird Bakery however? OMG. OMG. OMG.
I took the foccacias -- breakfast, regular and the one with cheese (can't remember their names), and I am IN LOVE.
The breakfast one has an egg cracked on top with some chili flakes, and sells for $3.75
The other two that are larger, don't have eggs (one has pecorino cheese) and they sell for about $4.75 - $5 each.
I have yet to try the Moroccan one with za'atar spice.
If I could eat this bread every day for breakfast and lunch, I would. I would do it, and happily have a side of tomato salad and be a vegetarian for life.
The focaccias are soft and doughy, not too greasy (I've had greasy ones before and they're gross), with herbs sprinkled on top, and it is just heavenly to bite into something so delicious.
I still have one piece left and I am already contemplating how soon I can make it back to Kensington Market to buy another 2.. or 4.
I haven't tried their sourdoughs or anything but I don't want to. I just want to sink into a pillow of focaccia oblivion and never wake up again from my dream.
This makes me want to become a baker.
I also have not experienced any bad customer service. The girl who served me was super sweet.
