I had an early meeting and wanted a quick breakfast. It was around 8 am. I saw the Blackberry bistro was open so I popped in. The server who greeted me was nice and got me set and served quickly. I got a smoked salmon and scrambled egg breakfast. The eggs were fluffy, just perfect. There was a generous amount of salmon with an dollop of cream and capers. Nice fresh greens and a delicious buttermilk biscuit rounded out the meal. So good!

Bacon cooked perfectly.
The blackberry jam is wonderful.
Try the east African breakfast. Never had anything like it and it's very good.

What an experience! From the first moment I walked in, I was greeted by the most beautiful and charming waitress. The inside was very colorful as was the new and unique menu. Every single item on the menu sparked my interest. I wish I had a bigger stomach. As a chef I get very bored of menus these days with the same options wherever you go. Almost as if people have lost their love of food or ability to create. This place is everything but that! Healthy, beautiful, mouth watering menu items with fresh and unique ingredients. To start I ordered a pot of chai tea. It was brought to me in a small iron kettle. The aroma was memorizing and once it hit my pallet I was transported to another time and place. All the stress of my morning commute just washed away and I was suddenly able to truly take in the morning morning all around me. For my entree I ordered the South East African special. The fava beans with garlic bread. It was a cultural culinary masterpiece. An explosion of flavors from the first taste. I ate it as slowly as I could to really soak in and cherish each carefully crafted bite. My waitress was very attentive and kind and I was even given the option for more garlic bread for my dish when I started to run low. Even the bathroom was an unexpected little gem beautifully decorated. This dining experience was one for the books and although I live hours away, I will be back here as often as I can and share this BEAUTIFUL BISTRO with as many people as possible. Support this business. Spend your money here. Let's keep this place going as long as they desire. We need more food and more people just like this.

A perfect place for a cozy Sunday cafe breakfast! We were seated immediately on a busy Sunday morning. The food is excellent and the coffee is strong. We’ll definitely be back.

I really enjoyed my food here, and the atmosphere was good. I had the corned beef hash. Staff were very friendly. I would go again.

I have no idea if this place is still operational. I tried calling for a pick up order and it went to a random voicemail.

Went for breakfast, food was fine but service, while friendly, was very slow and disorganized. Not a great experience.

they’ve updated their menu and the east african special, an eritrean dish of spiced fava beans, might not sound that exciting but it is absolutely delicious! technically it’s not chili, but for my money, it’s the best chili i’ve ever had (and though it’s meatless, i think the most ardent meat eaters would love it!), and bonus it’s served with tasty garlic bread.
if you haven’t been here for a while, or ever, i highly recommend!
(as for atmosphere, we’ll, it’s a basic cafe, kind of noisy, but you can sit outside and give your tastebuds a treat!)
