Blackbird Bakery

I love stopping by for a good coffee before coming to work at this fantastic café. They have a wide variety of sandwiches, croissants, bread, and delicious coffee. The staff are very friendly. There are places to sit and work if you want, as well as outdoor seating.

Seriously overpriced on most items. However it's the best bread in the area. Staff keeps changing, almost every weekend it's someone different working there, I can't keep track, I'm seriously curious about this. Great toasties. Staff is hit or miss with service/ friendliness.

I was so relieved to be able to pop in quite early this morning. The rush starts round about 0830 for the commuters and a little later for the home workers. All of us benefited from the cheerful and winsome Barista and server. My needs as a mobility challenged gentleman were anticipated and met by the attentive Megan and Ruby. I ate the spinach and cream cheese roll. The texture was meaty without an overpowering nutmeg flavour. Coffee is excellent with strong chocolate notes. Lovely loo but not particularly accessible. Fewer stars for atmosphere just because the wind tunnel effect can be bracing with two doors under a railway arch. But great to sit outside.

Best place for bread in South East London. Normally go for the brown sourdough, but on Fridays they do rosemary and potato sourdough and challah bread so I get that then. Staff are wonderfully eclectic and everyone is as annoyingly attractive as you'd expect from a small chain hipster bakery. I even have two of the tote bags. Love you, Blackbird Bakery. Never change.

I enjoyed a lovely coffee and slice of cake here and the person who served it was smiley and very personable. The background music was high vibrational and I appreciated it. I would certainly recommend this coffee shop.

The sandwiches weren’t toasted properly and I bought over 5 items and was not even offered a bag. When I asked for one, she was extremely rude insinuating I didn’t need one, and acted as if I’d caused offence. I’m pregnant and there were a lot of items - she handed me the bag and didn’t offer to pack them. It wasn’t busy, so there was no excuse for the lack of care or rudeness. This place has really gone downhill… I used to love this place but won’t be coming back.

This place is such a gem and the chicken pesto sandwhich was delicious. I had a pram and little ones with me, and felt very welcomed in the space. Shout out to the woman behind the till with the headscarf, who was so helpful and patient when I was ordering!

Visited the bakery in hopes of getting a lovely comfort meal during a difficult time The service was slow whilst 3 members of staff where behind the counter 1 was serving , 1 was tending to dishes and the other passively looking on until offering to support with a payment I requested a chest and tomato toastie which lists red onions and tomatoes as an ingredient only to discover that I was served just a cheese sandwich, given the price was £5.80 it’s disappointing to see that such little care was given into ensuring the toastie was balanced or sold as advertised. In addition I asked for a slice of lime and pistachio cake and requested one at the front after being served a slice which I perceived to be smaller than others . The staff insisted that they use a cutter which ensures all slices were the same but were graceful(as I assumed) to oblige my request to be served the one at the front. I didn’t pay close attention to the member who I trusted to fulfil the request before I left and after taking a peak I could instantly tell I was served the same slice I had pointed out I did not want nor prefer. Once getting home I discovered that they had simply repackaged the slice I didn’t want and put a sticker on the box to make it difficult for me to check in the bakery. whilst I understand they may have a practice in place where they assume they have parity over all cake slices - just from the perspective of providing customer satisfaction, I find it puzzling to understand why if I had requested a particular slice I was being treated as being difficult and their reluctance to fulfil my request with honesty and integrity. You’d think the request I made to simply be served a specific slice would have detrimental impact on their wages or the course of their day - it takes nothing from you (speaking directly to staff) to fulfil a request from customers and one would hope that being able to fulfil a request (as unimportant to you anyway if all the slices are the same) wouldn’t be the hill you choose to die on. You thought by putting the sticker into the box it’d make it not possible for me to tell - it’s patronising and again I’m forced to wonder if the slice you give to a customer would impact the wages you collect? It’s so unnecessary and insulting to think you could sneakily “trick” or get away with just lacking basic customer service. Especially since I watched you oblige a couple ahead of me make their requests (and surprise surprise you can probably guess their race vs mine) It’s just unkind, unnecessary, dishonest and disappointing. The staff were rude, service was slow and to top it all off it was dirty inside.

Walking home from Peckham, we stumbled across this cute little bakery. We'd eaten brunch but come on, I'm only human. Bakery = cake. Cake = BROWNIES! The bakery has plenty of seating both outside and in. The smell of fresh bread fills your nose as you enter and there's a warmness to the staff and the people within. We didn't eat in today but we will definitely be back. Instead we grabbed a chocolate cookie and a salted caramel brownie and we went on our way. 5pm came round and it was cookie time! The cookie was packed full of chocolate chips and tasted wonderful. It was very crumbly but I liked this about it. I can only imagine it warm and gooey - NOM. Next, the brownie. Moist and melt in the mouth, it was truly delightful BUT I couldn't really taste the salted caramel, it just wasn't strong enough over the chocolate. Still a great brownie. As, I said, I'll be back for lunch. Those pizzas are calling my name.

Cute little bakery next to the train I Went with the BLT. A man wearing a bra with no uniform delivered it to me (slightly odd but ok). to my surprise it came with guacamole (which I've never seen in my life before on a BLT), only few pieces of bacon and about 2 cherry tomatoes cut up and put on (which did not get close to covering all the space. It mostly bread , tasted ok but skimpy on the bacon and tomatoes . I realized the tesco next door had a BLT with the same amount of bacon. More tomatoes , and only 1/3 the price. Average , not an amazing place , your results may vary

Lovely friendly staff, great coffee and sandwiches. I stop here in the mornings before getting on the train and occasionally for Sunday breakfast or Friday evening for a pizza. My favourites are the spinach and cream cheese roll (an indulgent veggie alternative to the sausage rolls - sausage rolls are great too), the cheddar toasties, chicken pesto sandwich, Reuben (if eating in) and the calzone. They serve local bottled beers in the evening. Critiques: it gets rammed with baby buggies on the weekends due to space constraints, but in the upside parents are pretty good about keeping kids under control here. Also they seem to run out of pizza dough during lunch on the weekends (I never seem to be able to order a pizza here unless it's early Friday evenings). They don't answer the phone either, which is a little annoying if you want to order a cake in advance. All in all these are minor niggles though.

Decent South London coffee and bakery, part of a wider chain of branches across the south of the city. While the coffee is pretty average, their bread is reliably good and never disappoints. Usually full of macbooks.

Great bakery/cafe under the station. The staff was super nice and the food looks amazing!

Nice bakery at a convenient location right under the Queens Road Peckham station. The staff was very nice. When I visited London, I came to this bakery every morning for a quick hot breakfast before hopping on the tube
