Blackbird Bakery
Everything at Blackbird is hand crafted by us at our bakery in West Norwood. We make everything with attention, skill and care using natural ingredients by a team of dedicated bakers. Our breads and baked goods are made fresh everyday in our bakery in West Norwood, baked in the small hours of the morning and then delivered to all our shops.

See our freshly baked pastries and organic breads selection and schedule for your favourites. We have several cafes all based in South London, serving all our products, simple food, and a Ethiopian & Brazilian House Blend coffee for you to enjoy in relaxed surroundings. We provide hand crafted cakes that we serve by the slice in our cafes but also as whole cakes for birthdays or celebrations in a variety of sizes.
Services
Blackbird Bakery started over 20 years ago on a market stall in East Dulwich. Along our journey we have met an amazing community of customers who share our passion for traditional and hand crafted products and with them we have slowly grown our family, our products and our business.

We now have 8 shops across South London and 2 market stalls, including our original East Dulwich pitch, where our ethos of only using natural ingredients, traditional methods and baking especially good bread have allowed us to flourish.Bread is at the heart of our bakery, but we also make cakes, pastries, preserves, dry goods/cereals and even dog biscuits.
Our signature bread and best seller. Leavened with a natural sourdough starter and fermented for 48 hours, this leads to an open crumb, chewy texture and sour notes. It is then baked on the stone of the oven to achieve a deep and crispy crust. Not only delicious but believed to be good for gut health, this is an all round winner.
We are always looking for talented individuals to join our teams. If you are interested in working with us, we have positions in baking, retail and delivery. If you are interested in any of our current vacancies or would like to get in contact for a chat please send us an email with a CV attached, along with your location and which role you are interested in.

Great selection of fresh cakes and breads. Coffee is great and bacon sandwich is best around.

Great coffee and food, really excellent value and delicious bread. Love to sit outside if not too cold, a local gem.

Just poped in there briefly to have a bite while waiting for my train.I think I had a hot chocolate with a slice of lemon cake. Some of the snacks are slighlty pricey even for that area. Everything tasted nice though the lemon cake seemed a little dry. It's a nice little cosy place to have a little bite whilst catching up with a friend. The staff wore masks and I m sure there was antibacterial gel to use too.

I was served by Ruby and Theo. They were so friendly and I felt really valued as a customer. The prices seem a bit steep sometimes but the food and drinks are all really high quality

The tall girl with dark hair is SO dismissive and rude, actually lost themselves a customer with how miserable she constantly is. Not dealing with rude staff for a cr*p cup of coffee... there are much MUCH better coffee shops within feet of Blackbird Bakery!

What did I do to deserve such a stingy pain au chocolat?! The place is pricey but the coffee is ok.

I chose Blackbird Bakery as the try of a new and different cafe. Blackbird has become another impressive smaller cafe business. It was a lovely latte hazelnut and lovely staff. I would definitely go back again next time I'm in the area.

Very tasty savouries and an overwhelming choice of home style cakes and pastries. It was busy and convivial with a pleasant group of young serving staff.
It could have done with being a wee bit bigger and the physical atmosphere got a bit muggy but overall it was a lovely friendly experience.

One of my favourite places to go for coffee and cake. The coffee is good and strong (they will make it with fewer espresso shots on request if you're of a sensitive disposition). The cakes and pastries are always fabulous and indulgent. The prices run a little bit on the higher side, but personally I believe it's worth it for the quality of the food. Their selection of freshly baked beads to take away is usually pretty cracking too, I love the olive loaf when they have it! Highly recommended.
N.B. whilst the entrance is wheelchair accessible, the bathroom unfortunately is not (being small and

Lovely staff, very tasty baked goods. It's a small cafe with a mixture of seating types, highchairs and tap water in jugs are available to the side. There is a very small toilet for customer use in the back, do note if planning to visit with children, it's too small to change a baby in and there is no change table.
