Blackbird Cafe - Mountain Brunch & Lunch

Service was top-notch with an attentive server, and the interior definitely adds to the experience! Very elegant interior with plenty of seating (booths and tables), a 10-seat bar, and views of the Fallon creek right behind the building. Breakfast food was superb for our party of 3, and left everyone full! Highly recommend the salmon avocado toast and the homemade biscuits. Definitely come here for breakfast, brunch or lunch if you ever find yourself nearby!

I’ve driven through Kittredge countless times, passing by Blackbird Café without ever stopping—until now. When we were looking for a convenient brunch spot between Denver, Lakewood, and Evergreen, we finally decided to give it a try. Any excuse to head up to the mountains is one we’ll gladly take! Visiting on a weekday meant a more relaxed atmosphere, though I can easily imagine this cozy spot buzzing with activity on weekends. The café exudes a charming, rustic cabin feel, and its prime location along Bear Creek offers picturesque views for those lucky enough to snag a table by the window. Despite arriving as a large group without reservations, the staff quickly arranged tables for us, and we were seated in no time. Their warm hospitality set the tone, with coffee and drinks arriving swiftly as we took our time exploring the menu. There was even a cute little play area for restless kids. It was fun to see such a variety of dishes land on our table—everyone ordered something different, and each plate was as tempting as the next. The French Toast with fresh strawberries (and real maple syrup), the Chorizo Nido, and the Green Chili Smothered Burrito were particular standouts, though every bite was delicious. Now that I’ve discovered this hidden gem, I have no doubt we’ll be back soon for another leisurely brunch in the mountains.

Great food after a hike in Corwina-O'Fallon Park. The Poblano Turkey melt and Reuben were delicious! Excellent service while sitting outside near the river.

Terry was our server and I must say she was so pleasant and when she walked us into her "office" patio the view was amazing and weather refreshing. She explained the menu to us and made us feel welcomed and never forgot about us while we were the only ones outside. The food not only had amazing presentation but those cooks working in that small kitchen put out some delicious flavors. The scenery on the patio was breath taking and hearing the creek in the back against the rapids was so serene. This was a special moment as we were celebrating our 20year anniversary and it was priceless. Thabk you Terry for your big heart and hospitality. We hope to be back again in November with our kiddos.

Such a gem of a lunch spot—I’d bring anyone here in a heartbeat. The outdoor seating is dreamy, right on the river with a whimsical, peaceful vibe that feels straight out of a storybook. Like most mountain towns, the food isn’t the main event, but the atmosphere makes it more than worth the visit.
