We were traveling through on New Year’s Day and looking for coffee. Found this great place open. Warm inviting and what we all need in my opinion. It was a welcome treat to find books on the very topics that had been circling my mind for the last few months right there on the shelves. No judgment just information to help you stay on track and want more. Thank you for opening a place like this. And in such a beautiful spot for discovery. Happy 2024 and keep it up!

Asides from the delicious coffee, kombucha, and food, the owner is incredibly kind and has a plethora of information both in the many books he has there and in good conversation.

Blackbird Infoshop & Cafe is more than just a cafe, it's a hub of positivity, creativity, and inclusivity. It's a place where like-minded and not so like minded individuals gather to enjoy exceptional small vegan menu, aromatic coffee, and engaging conversations.What truly sets this cafe apart is its dedication to enriching and supporting the community through conversation, Books, and Community Activism .

Two words… LITTLE LOAF… wow these baked goods that they serve here on the weekends are absolutely incredible. This almond croissant especially blew my mind. The oat latte I got was also really good. Highly recommend this spot.

Community focused space. We sat here for several hours to use the internet (steady and consistent). The space was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's divided into two large rooms, one with the cafe & bookshop and the second with more seating & local art. We tasted several pastries including the mushroom tart, pumpkin danish, and jalapeño cream cheese croissant. All were fresh, delicious, and made with a sense of love you can only achieve from a handmade good. We had several varieties of coffee and tea and all were on point. The space hosts different events and apparently we missed a noise show the night prior. Sliding scale menu, so prices are reasonable at the suggested rates. They also have a community fridge & pantry and we watched as local donors came by to donate fresh goods. Overall, I can't praise this place enough for creating a communal safe space. If you're in the Kingston area, this is a must see stop.

I had a wonderful experience at this cafe! The ambiance is incredibly cozy, and the almond croissants were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying them. I also enjoyed their iced maple latte, which was a delightful treat. The added bonus of a board game rack made the visit even more entertaining. A must-visit spot!
This place is so cool! I got the maple latte which was delicious, I love the Upstate New York vibes. The shop is well decorated and there are lots of cool books to read. You guys rock and are so unique! thank you!Dietary restrictions: Oat milk available!

Super awesome place. Helping and supporting the community through a community fridge and pay what you can pricing. If I could give them 5,000,000 stars I would. Coffee is AMAZING and made with love!

This and places like this must multiply across the Hudson Valley to help form a stronger foundation and network of people aching for social justice to help find like-minded folks to meet, discuss ideas, or just chill and catch a bite to eat, make a new friend or find a cool book to borrow/buy. The menu is simple and looks perfect. The coffee was very good indeed. Great atmosphere. Hope there is enough "solidarity" in the community to help build this classy joint into a little social hub!Solidarność !!

Amazing espresso based drinks using the best tasting beans and creamers. I never add any sweeteners to the drinks. They don't need it at all.The food is amazing too. Andrew has a heart for his community and it shows in his offerings at the shop. Inclusion and safe space for all.Vegetarian options: Amazing vegan food and drinks.
