Blackbird Bakery in Bristol, Virginia, offers made-from-scratch doughnuts, cakes, specialty coffees and more.



I went through the drive-through for a pick-me-up while passing through the area.



I ordered a chess bar, a pot de creme and strawberry cake donut. Chess is like a custard-like pie that is popular in the south. It's sweet and has that velvety texture that is addictive.



The pot de creme was lovely but better suited for someone who enjoys more bitter notes. The strawbery donut was a crowd-pleaser - cakey, fruity, saccharine.
