This Bakery Has Been Named the Best in Virginia

There is nothing better than a baked from-scratch pastry, cookie, or slice of cake and that is where bakeries come in.

Virginia is brimming with bakeries, both old and new. Only one, however, made it onto Mashable's best in the country list. The wonderful Blackbird Bakery in Bristol is arguably one of the most delicious bakeries in the state so it comes as no surprise this cozy bakery and cafe found its way into this article.

Nestled within the historic downtown area of Bristol, Blackbird has been a community staple since it opened back in 2008. The eatery is housed inside a multi-level building and specializes in coffee, bread, cupcakes, pastries, and ice cream.

The real star of the show here, however, is the bakery's doughnuts—baked fresh daily and made from scratch, it is these delectable treats that helped put Blackbird on the map and they are not to be passed up if you do plan to visit.
