Huge shoutout to The Blackberry Inn Kitchen (I know I’m late to the game). We’ve been trying to get here for FOREVER, and I’m so glad we were able to today. My parents and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch. I had the Crisco, which is their take on a Monte Cristo. Ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, and blackberry jam on a French toast bagel. As I told a customer after us, it was the BEST sandwich I’ve ever had. Hands down. I’ll be talking about this sandwich for weeks 🤣
The lunch wasn’t all that had me inclined to post this review. The man taking orders (I believe it is the owner) was so delightful and friendly. There was a long line when we came in, but he still stopped to ask every single customer how they were and about their days. He took the care to explain every item in the case, and made thoughtful recommendations to each customer. He remembered regulars names and stopped to talk to kids about their hobbies. Despite all this, the service was incredibly fast and accurate.
We left very full and happy. But we just had to grab some baked goods before we left. My mom had some macaroons, while I opted for a chocolate croissant. My dad got a brand new hand pie, and we got a peanut butter bomb to go as well (we haven’t tried this yet but very excited to). That chocolate croissant was just delightful. Very flavorful, light and airy, and so fresh! A definitive must try.
I truly cannot recommend and commend this business enough. I will absolutely be recommending to every local AND tourist that I can! Thank you Blackberry...
Read moreWe went to the cafe after hiking The Gorge Trail around 10:30AM. We were so hungry and our group all ended up choosing the Lox and Cream cheese bagel sandwich. Although they were out of a lot of their bagel choices, I would attribute that to a busy Labor Day weekend. The sandwiches were phenomenal and hit the spot. My 15 year old son said “if I could eat this sandwich every day, I’d eat two every time”, he said it was the best sandwich he has ever eaten. We all agreed. The toppings were fresh, the bagels were perfect and cream cheese was the perfect consistency. I could tell the lox was high quality. The cafe is small with abt three tables inside and there are two tables outside. No bathroom on site. Plenty of drinks both regular retail drinks and several locally made fresh juices and dairy options to choose from. We did not order any coffee or baked goods but the baked goods looked wonderful as well. Despite the cafe having a line out the door, the staff seemed calm and I appreciated the communication on how long it would take to prepare...
Read moreWe went in for breakfast today because my boyfriend had spotted it and wanted to try the Blackberry Inn Kitchen for a while now. Immediately when we walked in it smelled wonderful. The place was clean and tidy, and the menu wasn’t too lengthy, which is personal preference but was still a note i’d like to add for people who like not too lengthy menus! I ordered a cold brew coffee with caramel and hazelnut flavoring with whole milk. Usually i’d get 1/2 + 1/2 but their milk was nice and creamy, so it was a lovely and satisfying alternative. My boyfriend ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich. The croissant was airy, fluffy and golden brown, and the eggs just tasted freshly made (coming from someone who doesn’t like eggs that much). My love had that thing gone within seconds! I was upset to see the place not so busy, as it’s so welcoming. Although we didn’t stay too long, we enjoyed the friendly folks who worked there and the cozy atmosphere. Will be visiting...
