Blackbird Bakery's shop is on Winslow Way East, on Bainbridge Island. The bakery has window seating [2] and serves cakes, cookies, [3] muffins, [4] scones, pies, [5] tarts, [6] and other pastries and desserts, as well as quiches and soups. Blackbird also offers coffee [7] and espresso drinks, as well as tea. [8]
According to Seattle Metropolitan, "Downtowners, rolls of croissant dough dipped in vanilla sugar, have become a signature." [9] The Helen's French Roll has been described as a "minimalist-chic cousin" to coffee cake. [10] The shop serves toast with jam, [11] and bakes various kinds of bread, including oatmeal and multigrain varieties. [6]
Blackbird opened in 1999. [12] [13] It is owned by Jeff Shepard and Heidi Umphenour, and has a "sister" establishment, Fork & Spoon. [14] Umphenour's foot broke in multiple places when an oven exploded at Blackbird. [15]
Lonely Planet Seattle recommends Blackbird for food when visiting Bainbridge Island. [16] Allison Williams and Allecia Vermillion included the business in Seattle Metropolitan's 2021 list of ten "sweet bakery day trips" from the city. [9] In 2023, Vermillion said Blackbird "is basically the old guard in Bainbridge". [11] The Seattle Times called the bakery "a big hit with islanders and tourists" in 2022. [17]
Frommer's has called Blackbird's cookies and pastries "good". [18] Northwest Travel & Life has recommended the Brioche Cinnamon Roll, [19] and Seattle Magazine has recommended the quiches. [20] In 2024, Aimee Rizzo and Kayla Sager-Riley of The Infatuation called the Helen's French Roll among the best pastries in the Puget Sound region, and said the blueberry scone with a lemon glaze "is also a non-negotiable".
