Coffee ☕
You can’t go wrong with their coffee drinks and they keep it interesting with a rotating seasonal menu. Currently Kayla is loving their Strawberry Shortcake Latte.
Blackbird is celebrating their 2nd Birthday on Saturday July 19th. Stop by to pick up a mystery grab bag or get your tarot cards read. Love may be in the cards for you!
Reading, writing, and WiFi
It happens to also be a pretty good writing spot. Their WiFi is great and they managed to have plenty of desks and chairs despite a relatively compact space overall.
Parking in Historic City Market of Raleigh
Parking isn’t bad. Although street parking can take a few minutes, there is a lot of good parking options a block or two away. Additionally there is paid parking just 2 minute walk from Blackbird.
