History

Established in 2011.

"I wanted to create that place that I was always looking to go to and eat." Debbie - Owner of Blackbird Cafe. The place Debbie had in mind had a unique menu, fresh quality food, a dog-friendly outdoor dining area, and an artistic atmosphere, all at a fair price. That is exactly what you will find at the Blackbird Cafe on the corner of Wardlow and Orange in Long Beach, CA. In addition to a simple but adventurous menu, (soy chorizo wrap anyone?), the Blackbird offers fresh and delicious mimosas and bloodymarys; a great selection of beers; and a modest but sophisticated wine selection. The Blackbird is about connecting, and staying connected. Debbie chose to set up shop in Cal Heights because it is an up and coming, if not already here, neighborhood. It is a beautiful place that celebrates it's history.
