Blackbird has been around for a while, and now I have to update to say that I am so happy that they are in the neighborhood.
They have the best bread around, hands down. It's not an everyday thing for us, but I love to stop in to grab a Country Blonde loaf for sandwiches, or a batard or baguette to accompany a special dinner. And the Friday only Challah loaves are perfect for Sunday morning french toast.
The limited selection of pastries and cookies are excellent. I especially like the strawberry jammers and apple galettes. The wife will frequently make demands for the coconut macaroons as well.
Keep it coming Blackbird!
