Easilyyyyy my fav local business. The good feeling and welcoming vibes that Bre and Hannah create, you feel it the second you walk through the door! They have passion for what they do and what they've created. They have an amazing, thoughtfully curated collection of books with great variety to choose from so there's something for everyone. Their coffee is top notch. It's my favorite coffee in Raleigh! Also delicious baked goods. Fun trinkets, tarot cards, art, book accessories & more. Think cute and cozy vibes. They have fun, inclusive events every month and the love they have for their store and customers radiates, they want people to have a positive experience. They do punch cards so you can earn a free coffee and a free little library outside the front door ensuring everyone has access to books! I love Blackbird Books & Coffee!! Whether you live in Raleigh or you're just visiting, make sure you don't miss out on it :)

I keep trying to write a review that encapsulates how wonderful Blackbird is but nothing is good enough! Their curated selection is top-tier, the drinks are delicious, and the owners are so unbelievably kind. Everyone is eager to help you find that just-right read and strike up a conversation about their favorite books. Blackbird is a safe, special place for all, and Raleigh is lucky to have them!!! For mobility aid users - There is a small step in the very front of the store, but Blackbird has provided a small ramp that sits outside to assist with entry. It does occasionally need to be shuffled closer to the door if debris is behind it like leaves, etc. but once you're in, the space is fully accessible!

There’s something so beautiful about being able to go to a coffee shop and work and then treat myself to a book at the end. The coffee was amazing as well as their vegan biscuit. And then it was such a pleasure to shop for a book because it’s such a clean and easy shop.

Stopped in from out of town. Blackbird is a really lovely little shop with a selection of wonderful books as well as a bunch of coffee, and tea options. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and was glad to see their playlist wasn’t just generic “coffee shop music.” It looks like they have some cool events as well.
