Blackbird Coffee
remains the area’s
favorite coffee roaster
B
lackbird Coffee opened in December 2004 with the simple mission
of offering the freshest premium coffees in Milledgeville. Fifteen
years later, their in-house small batch coffee roaster is still delivering great
coffees from the world’s best coffee estates while skilled baristas offer in-
sight and knowledge without pretention. All it takes is one visit to Black-
bird Coffee to understand how it was named “One of the Greatest Things
About Milledgeville” by Visit Milledgeville or one of Explore Georgia’s “Fa-
vorite Coffee Roasters.”
The dedication they bring to their coffee spills over into everything they
do. Their real fruit smoothies are a delicious refreshing alternative and just
as carefully made as a latte or traditional macchiato. Their sandwiches are
made to order and can be enjoyed with many drink selections, including
wine, American craft beer or a milkshake.
Blackbird Coffee offers eight flavors of hand-dipped ice cream, great for
milkshakes, cones, cups and, the house favorite, an
affagato (vanilla ice cream with espresso).
A trip to Blackbird Coffee isn’t complete unless
you’ve had one of their quarter pound cookies. These
sought-after treats are baked fresh and available in
chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and peanut butter
cup. In February 2018, Blackbird Coffee opened its
expansion and official home to Birdhouse Theatre.
The intimate 75-seat venue hosts open-mic nights,
poetry readings, literary panels, stand-up comedy,
staged plays and live music. Additionally, the venue
is home to Milledgeville’s award-winning improvi-
sational comedy troupe, The Armed Farces, host to
Milledgeville Film Festival and Milledgeville’s Inter-
national Ten-Minute Playwriting contest, Edge Fest.
Birdhouse Theatre is the perfect setting for meet-
ings, parties and celebrations. A list of events and
availabilities can be found at blackbirdcoffee.com
Blackbird Coffee is open seven days a week and of-
fers free Wi-Fi. Be sure to take home a pound of their
fresh roasted coffee.
