Extremely well done cafe and bookstore with a beautiful serene garden. Seems a few things may need to be sorted out with logistics as pastries were not available in the morning and reported to be available at noon. Other than that the coffee service is very solid with a nice Choice of African or Latin drip. The bookstore is beautiful with interesting choices for children and adults. The garden is immaculate and well planned. Very nice addition to the neighborhood.

Our favorite neighborhood bookstore. Great kids section, coffee cart and art displays. We love the sunny outdoor patio in back too!

Loved this beautiful bookstore. There is beautiful backyard garden where you can seat down and read book you bought. Kids section is great. They have a little tree house with big bear and cushions on it at the back side of the store next to the kids book section and kids absolutely loved them. Highly recommended to give a visit when you are in this neighborhood. There was a coffee shop inside too but we didnt try the coffee.

As a neighborhood resident, I really cant speak highly enough about this wonderful business. Excellent curated selection of books, beautiful indoor space and outdoor garden, and now they serve extremely good coffee and espresso! Also everyone who works here is incredibly friendly and helpful. And did I mention that Black Bird is also an invaluable community space for the neighborhood, hosting readings/events and featuring rotating local artists on the walls? Oh, *and* they’ll order books for you! Really just cant say enough. Thank you to everyone involved, and keep up the great work.

An adorable bookstore with a beautifully curated selection, including the children’s section. The garden is a lovely spot to pause and sip coffee while the kids roam. Note that the bookstore itself opens at 9, though the coffee shop opens earlier.

This place is adorable, it has the most welcoming vibe and the kids books and okay area are absolute perfection. Its a perfect place to stop and let the kids play and read. Also, they have story time on Saturday - how sweet is that?

Best curated bookstore in the city. Especially for environmental, local, and childrens books. Doesnt hurt that its next door to trouble coffee...

Great bookstore - one of my favorites in the city. Their selection is intentionally limited; it seems if a book makes it on the shelf here, its because someone at the store has actually read it and can recommend it. I like to think of the books as being pre-vetted for quality. They also have a cute garden center with succulents in the back. They let you bring in coffee, so I usually grab something from Trouble next door and browse.
