THREE GENERATIONS PROUDLY SERVING COFFEE AND CARBS SINCE 1974
It Runs In the Family

If you’ve lived in Valparaiso for a while, you may remember The Donut Hut. This business was the family’s first foray into serving delicious delicacies to the local community. Inspired by his grandfather and father’s legacy, owner Daniel now operates family owned Blackbird Café, which is currently Valparaiso’s longest standing café.

Savor Your Sips in a Century-Old Building

Blackbird Café sits just off the town square on Lincolnway. Exposed brick walls, lined with eclectic local art, create an inviting and cozy atmosphere. Blackbird’s relaxed ambience is ideal for a reflective solo lunch or to gather with friends after a yoga class. Some fun history? The building has had a café running in it since the early 1990s when “Internet Cafés” were a thing. Don’t know what an internet café is? We’ll let you Google that one.
