Had the Dos Tacos, one filled with egg and and potatoes and the other egg and chorizo with a side of salsa verde and a Cortado. The tacos were delivered to my table nice and piping hot. They had good flavor and I enjoyed every bite( I think a bit too much). The Cortado had a mellow flavor profile with not acidic aftertaste and no sugars added. Almost missed the location so for you Yelpers and adventures, It is across from the Montrose Food truck yard and parking is in the rear.

While seating can be limited due to its popularity, the friendly staff and complimentary water station enhance the experience. Additionally, their selection of healthy food options adds to the appeal. Side note: restroom access requires a code from the staff. Over all the aesthetics of the restaurant is nice and I love their cups for the hot coffees and teas; friendly staff. Definitely coming back!

Coffee was really good, you can tell they use quality beans and it's not weak. The breakfast tacos were also just what I needed. The tortillas were very soft and the salsa was spicy! Will definitely come back to try the homemade biscuits!

Blacksmith is in Montrose with so much to do around. The cafe has a very quaint space with many windows. A great place to get a bite or drink with a friend or just study to get some homework done. The baristas were super friendly and helpful. All of their pastries are made fresh by a baker made just for Blacksmith, which is a cool concept! I got the chilaquiles with scrambled eggs and they were so good! I can tell it was made with quality ingredients and the portion was good. I will say that the salsa verde that comes with it is spicyyyy. The tacos were fantastic too, it's served with one chorizo and one with beans and eggs. The coffee was also super tasty and the latte art made it all the better. I also took the caramel bourbon latte to go and that one was great as well. Enjoyed my time at Blacksmith and will be back!

The front of the building looked like it was under construction, and parking was available around the back. Inside, the atmosphere felt like a quiet study hall with hipster vibes—calm, with not much conversation happening. The wait in line was a bit long, but after ordering, I found a seat. The seating arrangement felt a bit awkward, with tables placed close together, though it wasn’t a major issue. I tried the Vietnamese Steak and Eggs, Smoked Salmon Dill Scramble, Biscuit with crème fraîche and jam, and the Silver Platter Chilaquiles. Out of the four, the Smoked Salmon Dill Scramble was my favorite—the salmon had a wonderful smoky flavor and the eggs were perfectly fluffy. The biscuit was delicious as well! The Vietnamese Steak and Eggs were decent, but if you’ve had bò né at a Vietnamese restaurant in Houston, you’ll notice this isn’t quite the same. Still, it was a solid dish. The chilaquiles were good but didn’t quite meet my expectations for authentic Mexican chilaquiles, making it my least favorite of the dishes I tried. Overall, everything tasted good for a neighborhood café. The coffee stood out with a nice, strong flavor, which I really enjoyed. If you’re looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee, Blacksmith is definitely worth a visit.
