$3 for a single roll of toilet paper? $5 for a paper mask? $7 for a dozen eggs? Way to price gouge during the COVID-19 crisis. Check it out on Door Dash, this is insane!

The coffee is awesome. The food is good too. Everything is made from scratch. The searing is somewhat limited.

There should be more places like this! Delicious warm food with tons of flavor(Try the breakfast burritos) The coffee is tasteful and hot! A place you can truly come to and grab a coffee and bite and do some work. Staff were very kind and made sure every customer was satisfied! Try it out! Forget starbucks or Dunkin!

Tasty (odd thing to highlight, but the toast is the best). Expensive, but pretty much every restaurant in Massachusetts is too expensive. Meals are around $9-15.

A great place for breakfast with a good sized menu and some delicious selections. The service was fast and friendly and the place is very accommodating for families. An easy stop for coffee only or for a more leisurely breakfast. They also have sandwich offerings for lunch.

Excellent for breakfast or lunch. Coffee and tea outstanding. Great staff. Not fancy but far superior to the usual suspects.

My wife and I have been going here consistently for the last couple of months and every time our experience has been worst. Our first coffee from here was very impressive but since then it’s a hit or miss when we order coffee. We ordered breakfast sandwiches from here once and they were VERY delicious but on the expensive side. The muffins as well are good even the day old ones.

I like their coffee and paninis. I used to work from there occasionally while having my breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately, their wifi stopped working and nobody seems to care! I had to move to a different cafe and they lost my regular business. Also, most of their power outlets are of very low quality and some of them are not even accessible. I wish they paid more attention to these issues because they matter to people like me who what to work from a cafe while having their meals.

I ordered a sandwich from here and because I wasn't able to go out I had it delivered from doordash. I don't mind paying the doordash fees and delivery fee they charge but I came to realize that this restaurant charges different prices for their food when you order through doordash. The sandwich for pick up from their site is 9.25 but I paid 14.00 for the sandwich alone plus the doordash fee and delivery fee and tip. This is crazy to me! I am not sure why their food would be priced differently. Beware of this when ordering.

I love Blackbird Cafe's original location in Groton, MA so I was ecstatic when they opened this new location in Acton. The food is delicious. Service can be a bit slow at this location, especially on the weekends during peak hours, but there is ample seating inside and even a couple of outdoor tables.

I love Blackbird. I am a night nurse and I go here after most shifts for a breakfast sandwich to take home. The food is good and the prices are reasonable but the service is the best part! Everyone is kind and good at their jobs. Great place to pick up sandwiches/coffee to go or sit and have breakfast. Couldn't recommend more!

The food is good but I am annoyed that when you order a sandwich takeout you don’t get chips. When you buy the same exact sandwich for the same price and eat it there, you get chips. I just had to spend an extra $2+ to get a bag of chips takeout. This makes no sense whatsoever. When I complained about it the woman at the register was no help whatsoever.

I love the personality of this place. The coffee is great and my son loves the english muffins. It is helpful to know how "self serve" the place is before you go (you bus your own tables, etc.). If you are in a hurry, you can order ahead online or by phone. I really hope they succeed because the place is so charming and the quality seems really good. I look forward to trying everything they have to offer. Will update after more experiences there...

Food was pretty good, but I'm probably not going back because it was so expensive. I ordered a sandwich on an english muffin, and though it was generously sized, it costed 9 dollars, which was way to much for something like that.

Best spot in the area for a sandwich, bowl, or latte. They have great vegetarian and gluten free options, and reasonable prices. Seating is a bit limited, and my only recommendation to the management would be to replace the large table in the center of the room with a row of small tables (think New York City space management). Nonetheless, can't beat the extensive menu and great food!

The Blackbird Cafe is perfect in a number of ways. The food options are wide open, from tasty pastries to full breakfasts & sandwiches (everything I've tried has been very, very good!) They know their coffee as well - a *must* for a cafe. The space is very wide open so it's easy to have a comfortable conversation.The Blackbird is very popular, so getting a table seat can be tricky during busy times. But they also have bar stools along a bar by the window.I highly recommend the Blackbird Cafe in Acton!

Wow bad! Informed the gal who took my order that I have Celiac and can't have any gluten. The Mediterranean salds I ordered is advertised as greens, artichoke, peppers, olives, tomato, and cheese. No croutons mentioned. Boy was I surprised when it came with croutons all over. Even after I expressly 'informed my server of my food allergies.' I should have just gone to Rapscallion. Also, the salad was terrible, tasteless tomato (in the height of the local season !!,) canned olives, and canned salad dressing. Blech. For $9.70. Food allergen included gratis.

I love the blackbird GROTON, but acton is has by far the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. I have worked in restaurants and customer service for years so I know it can a hard job, but it’s also important to treat your guests with curtesy. EVERY time we order it’s wrong. This most recent time they put our food outside and left our drinks inside for 15 minutes until we realized and asked them for our drinks. Our food was cold and our iced drinks were no longer cold. I will never order from this location again. Manager was awful when I brought it to her attention and basically hung up on me. GO TO GROTON! They are great!

Amazing breakfast in a little strip mall in Acton. I love the scallion and goat cheese scramble and the quinoa breakfast bowls. Hard to find seats weekend mornings.My only suggestion would be to make it easier for new guests to find the menus. Especially if there is a bit of a line it can be hard to realize where to look for food and drink options.

Visited on a Friday morning. Place is an order at the counter type arrangement. Tables were full when we arrived but one opened up while we were ordering. Coffee was excellent. My wife had an omelet and I had the breakfast burrito both were very good and served hot. Have to self bus your table when finished by tossing trash and leaving plates in the bus bucket. Lost one star because this arrangement mean the tables don't get wiped down after each occupant, our still had crumbs and a water bottle from the previous guests. Someone jumped in after us so it was at least 3 parties at that table without a wipe down.

I like this spot! They prepare excellent food, their menu is nice, The chief cook in that place is a real pro, I enjoy a lot trying all their dishes. The dishes are consistently of high class, the service towards the customers is friendly. I frequently visit this restaurant and I not even once was disappointed. I recommend it to all.

It was an exciting day when I saw the signage for a Blackbird Cafe Acton location! Huge fan of their original spot in Groton, & now that there's a second location here, I get to resume regular visits!Food & coffee & service is on point -- just had breakfast here & it was delicious. I'm so glad that such a lovely cafe has come to town -- Acton will seriously benefit from a place with good food like this.
