The aroma of roasted coffee beans when ya walk in is amazing, it hits ya as soon as you open the door. Absolutely the best freaking cup of coffee that Ive ever drank. The atmosphere is really nice as well
Visually, its a very appealing coffee shop. Very rustic, brick walls, old wood floors and a great concrete countertop. Im not a fan of the big coffee chain so try to support local coffee shops. But, I hold them to a higher standard. The coffee has to be better than the chain. Unfortunately Blackbird didnt cut it. Im giving 3 stars for average. The world famous ice cream thing was a big disappointment.
What a lovely little coffee shop! I went in this evening for a coffee and found it to be the nicest little place. The coffee was delicious and the service was great and I am certainly looking forward to going back the next time I come through Milledgeville. What a nice place to relax and have a coffee!
On Friday, June 25th my family and i had dinner in the area, walked down the street to the coffee shop about 8:55 pm. My son, daughter and son-in-law wanted to order something really fast. The young lady who was working, immediately had a horrible attitude saying”what do you want”? They placed their order and she began slamming things down and continued with a bad attitude. My daughter walked out. As soon as they received their coffee and walked out, she followed them very fast and aggressively slung the door open propping it up with a block. As we stood there, she threw the chairs on the table by slinging them around. My mother approached the young lady and asked if she owned the shop. The young lady said No, and I know I have a really bad attitude! My mother answered, yes you do. The young lady said, “ I know, and y’all have a great night”! Her tone was so sarcastic and hateful.The shop was very nice and the coffee was good, but I would not go in there again if I knew she was working there. Having a bad day is one thing but admitting you have a bad attitude in inexcusable!
We took my son to look at Georgia College today and found the coolest place for him to get a coffee and study. Blackbird Coffee is a hidden gem walking distance from the college. The coffee is great and the staff is friendly. My son is looking forward to going there often. My wife says to try a Blender!
Nice coffee shop downtown near Georgia College. Nice people and decent prices. My only compliant was my and my sisters coffees were not close to hot when we got them. They were warm, but not as hot as one would expect coffee to be.
I have been going here for the past 6 years and always receive wonderful service and tasty coffee. The staff is fun and personable. They make your experience as memorable as possible, even if you are just grabbing a quick snack.
Great service and my iced chai was great!
Great local coffee shop with nice inside seating and side walk too.
I have always loved Blackbird! Their drinks are always delicious, the staff is super friendly, its overall a wonderful experience. Try the seasonal Breakfast in Bed latte while they have it! I think it should be a permanent menu item - its delicious :)
I had an excellent vanilla cold brew here while prepping for a job interview. The baristas made me feel right at home during my brief visit to Milledgeville.
Great coffee and awesome service!
Great cinnamon roll and coffee !!
Good coffee, desserts and icecream. The service is always prompt and friendly!
Coffee is wonderful! The casting couch is comfy
I frequented this middle Georgia coffeehouse on pretty much a daily basis from October of 2016 to June 2018 during my two years away from New Orleans...it was one of the few places that made exile in Georgia more bearable. Excellent selection of coffee beans for sale, unusual varietals rarely seen available in the coffeehouse setting. Extremely friendly staff, they always treated customers like old friends. The coffee drinks were a bit overpriced, I would recommend sticking with their brewed drip coffee. Prices are somewhat upscale, but the excellent source beans made it worthwhile.
Excellent coffee, fresh baked good are very good. Under current conditions Blackbird still offers great customer service. Cheers
Nice coffee house nestled in the popular downtown dining section. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy your favorite beverage while working on that next business plan or good old fashion homework. The decor is nice and I particularly liked the poured counter tops and the rustic feel of the old brick and mortar.They offer most of your favorite coffee themed beverages and a few other options for those who have never acquired the taste. I was disappointed they do not serve Turkish coffee or Cafezinho.I was pleased a latte was quite less expensive than that of the big chain places making Blackbird a place I will visit again.
Coffee always great. Great to see college kids out and about walking and shopping and sitting outside enjoying the fresh air.
Awesome place, delicious coffee. I prefer private coffee shops over Starbucks and thus one definitely leaps and bounds betters than the Bucks!!!
Friendly staff and yummy drinks. We told the barista it was our first time and he was more than happy to recommend some great options.
By far one of my favorite, if not my number one coffee shop in GA. Their coffee is always yummy, service is fast, and atmosphere is perfect for a chat or for studying! Also, their scones and cinnamon rolls can not be beat!
The best coffee in Milledgeville!
Great local coffee shop. Friendly service. The afagados are fantastic.
I was looking for a quaint place to have an online meeting and enjoy a cup of coffee. I left my order and card with the barista to process when he got to it. There were no other customers in the shop at the time. As I was setting up my computer several others came in along with the manager Bailly. She was extremely rude and told me I had to stand in line to pay and that the tables were for paying customers. Ill never be back.
Blackbird is absolutely fantastic. The place smells amazing and really feels like an authentic, not-chain coffee shop. Would much prefer to go here vs Starbucks or Dunkin if given the choice. I highly recommend any of the frappuchinos or my current favorite, the Nut and Berry Soy Latte. Worth every penny.
Great coffee spot with great atmosphere. This is what every coffee shop should aspire to. Excellent service. Real espresso based drinks, hot and cold. Plenty of seating in a cozy spot. Perfect for hanging out, working or studying. More individual or “2 person” seating options would be nice.
The staff are always awesome. Unfortunately, Im now stuck going exclusively here as the coffee in most places is not nearly as good.
Blenders are life. I have been getting them since 2007. I moved a state away for college and used to crave them. Get it with better pecan ice cream. If you like coffee & ice cream youll be amazed at how they taste together.They also have some bomb cookies and great fresh ground coffee
Blackbird Coffee is a wonderful local coffee shop. The coffee is of the highest quality and the staff is so nice, warm, and welcoming. My favorite faces to see when I walk in are Tiffany, Nicki, and Daniel. They always go out of their way to make me feel at home.
Great place to do work and enjoy a beverage. Staff if generally nice. I wish they would use less single use plastics/ more biodegradables and offer coconut milk, but overall its a hip place! The new theater is cool for events and good atmosphere.
Love love this place.
Great coffee great atmosphere
Our first visit. I got a decaf Cappuccino and it was very good! My husband had the hot Apple cider which he enjoyed, he said it wasnt spectacular but was good enough. Quiet but doing steady business for 2pm on a Monday. Pleasant experience.
This is a great place to great coffee and study but they have always been kinda pricey. The staff is always nice and it is a great atmosphere but recently they decided to up the price on a variety of items on their menu, one item being their milkshakes. The milkshake that I get is a large which is the same size as a large Chick-fil-a milkshake is 7, 50ish before putting in a tip. It is a shame because I enjoyed going there but with the increase in prices I do not see myself going there anymore.
Love the fresh ground Costa Rica La Rosa!
Guy bellow me is butt hurt about his life and has no idea what hes talking about. Best coffee in town. Yep, they have weaker coffees just like they have bolder brews. They always have two brewed at any time. Ask and theyll give you the bolder and darker one. Me and any of the regulars can tell you the exact opposite of him.Love this place and will continue to give them my business. He got part of his review right. The 0, but he was missing a 1.10 stars. Excellent place. Excellent employees. Excellent owners.
The best coffee and has great service
Best shop in Milly.
Great atmosphere! Service was fantastic and the coffee was good. The I had a Guatamalan pour over. The beans were just a little over roasted but everything else was very.
Love the atmosphere. Staff very nice. Enjoyed the coffee and artichoke sandwich and cranberry muffin with my wife. They were delicious. I recommend them
Great place to go. They have coffee, sandwiches, desserts, etc. Their coffee is fantastic and so are their sandwiches. I definitely will be back
I love Blackbird and still do even though Im not a college student anymore. This is a great place to study and socialize. Good coffee, good people.
Blackbird is the best! 10/10 cold brew all day, everyday.
The perfect place for a cup of any beverage. Coffee is quite dark and strong. Such a friendly atmosphere!
Nice place to hang out for a study session, a nice coffee, or a quick break. Good aesthetic, and a few sandwiches if youre hungry. Late hours are also a plus for evening get-togethers.
Nice atmosphere. Great wait staff. The coffee was above average. We only had snacks, but would love to try the sandwiches; next time. The cookie was exceptional! The ratio of chocolate to cookie was huge! There were multiple types of chocolate chips and chunks. The cookie itself had to be 6 inches in diameter.
Came here twice in 2 days! Coffee and cookies are delicious! Staff is sweet, and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing!
Amazing local coffee shop. By being a smaller shop you get a very personal feeling with each cup. Their coffee beans are the best in town and are roasted every week to ensure every cup is fresh!
This place is great! The team is friendly, the place has a vibrant ambience, love the peppermint tea and cappuccino.
Great place to relax and catch up with a friend over the best coffee in town. The space has lots of comfortable seating, roasts their beans on site and the employees are all great! And they play good music and host events too!
I loved this coffee shop! Fresh coffee, enormous cookies, indie music, and delightful aromas make this a must-see site if youre visiting Milledgeville. The shop is also along a street that perfect for strolling. Cant wait to see it again.
I come here during the school year probably five times a week. The coffee and food is fantastic, the baristas are very friendly and conversational, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Its safe to say that this is my favorite place for coffee of all time.
Always an enjoyable experience. Coffee is good and staff are friendly and personable. Great place to meet colleagues for a conversation
This place basically got me through grad school! Love the coffee, the food, and the atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and pricing is very reasonable!
Fantastic coffee shop for people who like coffee coffee, not fru-fru coffee, although they have some options for that as well. Happy to find a place that does pour-overs too!
The coffee is good. But when u get a latte, or steamed milk beverage. Just know your getting 3 to 4 inches of foam. So larges, and mediums are smalls.
All of the staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is great. The coffee is, hands down, the best you can get in Milledgeville. They roast and grind their own coffee, and it really shows in the quality of every cup, from cold brew to lattes to a cup of black coffee.
One of the best perks of having mandatory meetings in Milledgeville is knowing Blackbird Coffee will get me through any rough session. Great coffee and very friendly employees. I wouldnt miss it while in town.
Blackbird has anything someone could want or need in a local coffee shop. Good coffee. Friendly employees. Reliable wifi. Amazing atmosphere accompanied by cool events, art, your friends, etc... Theres no better place to meet up in all of Milly. One of the best things about Blackbird is its comfortable seating/environment. Its a cozy place to hang out or work. If you are a frequent customer and occasionally come without making a purchase, you never feel as though the employees are upset with you. Some constructive criticism: Dont add any more hard metal seating without backrests. (Its a nonsense modern coffee shop trend which tells me a customer you do not want me to stay very long). At least occasionally offer some top notch single origin ethiopian pour over, or something incredibly nice to get us true coffee snobs to BRAG about you guys. Your coffee is really good. Its just not the best. Thank you guys for rocking overall.
Great local coffee place. Awesome atmosphere for students to study and hang out. Excellent service and quality coffee.
A cool spot to chill or meetup with your friends. Free wifi is nice too.
My favorite coffee shop in middle Georgia. Great staff, amazing single varietal coffee. Staff is knowledgeable and always excellent. Drinks are always perfect.
Blackbird Coffee is one of the best coffee shops in the area. The staff is always friendly and the coffee is superb. Prices are mostly fair, though they do not accept credit cards for purchases below $5. They recently started serving craft beer and wine, too! I dont live in Milledgeville anymore, but I stop by Blackbird every time Im in the area. Cant be beat!
Really good coffee. Friendly people as well.
Cutest coffee shop. Love the atmosphere. Baristas are always so friendly.
Great coffee! Came all the way from Macon for a blender! The air conditioner was broken when we went, but the barista still served us with a great attitude of kindness and hospitality!
Great coffee, good service, and a really nice place to relax
Excellent, new addition is really nice, too shelf coffee shop
Definitely the best spot to chill and enjoy your cup a joe. (Try the almonmochanut)
Cool eclectic atmosphere, friendly service and great coffee!
Get yourself a liberal arts education. Hang out in the hip hallways of Milledgeville. Its your duty as a cultural iconoclast. Bless the one who takes it upon himself to revolutionize his community.
The best coffee in Milledgeville! Theyve got a great selection and are always down to customize your drink any way you want it, and every single one of the baristas knows what theyre doing, is super friendly, and very welcoming!
Soooo...this is my hometown fave! I dont live in Millytown anymore but I never miss a chance to stop by for some fabulous flavor at this coffeehouse! The baristas are fantastic and make quick work of any order. They have many coffeehouse faves to choose from as well as some originals that are defo worth trying! If you are ever in Milledgeville take it from a local that this is one stop you should make!
The coffee is great and the staff are kind and helpful. Every time you order food, they give the option of heating it up, which is great.
Need to go back asap and get more coffee beans. I love going when I can grew up in Milledgeville and when the place opened for business I knew it be the place to go.
Great coffee and hot tea. Everyone is very friendly and the pastries are amazing.
I travel a lot for work and was very excited to visit this local coffee shop in this cute college town. The reasons Im only giving 3 stars is mainly because of the customer service. The girl I had at the counter this morning was not at all very friendly or informative. I asked what she recommended as Id never been there before and the only response I got was what do I normally get at a coffee shop. She didnt recommend anything. Just said this has milk in it and this doesnt. The coffee I ordered itself was okay, it was like anything I could have ordered at any other coffee shop. Not at all what I was looking for...needless to say this place was a one hit wonder for me.
Friendly staff, smooth atmosphere, eclectic decor and good coffee. We came on vacation and this mom needed a coffee before sight seeing.
Relaxing place. Retro music.
Such a cute shop. College vibe. Nice drinks
Always a great place to connect with colleagues and for GC students to study. Great coffee and the raspberry and white chocolate scones are heavenly!
Cute little local coffee shop. Reasonably priced, comfy, quaint & excellent menu selections. Very friendly staff as well.
Great coffee & great atmosphere. Ignore the 3 star and below reviews, this place is a must-stop if you have some actual taste.
Good service with a friendly demeanor combined with a tasty local roasted coffee makes this coffee shop top notch. The honest truth is while the food is not bad and not the worst price the focus is on the coffee as it should be. The coffee from what I can tell is not a steal or flash level price but a price that reflects a fair value if you consider how over priced lesser coffee is by comparison. The coffee is roasted local so provided you like the types they have in which varies you get a solid experience fairly priced but with a lovely coffee that is as fresh as most people can get short of growing it themselves.
Great Coffee
These folks are awesome. They really helped out with a large order. Not to mention the coffee was outstanding
Pretty good milkshakes dont know abot the coffee
A bit pricey, but worth it for great quality coffee.
This place is extraordinary and peaceful.
