Blackbird Skien is a café and gathering spot located right by the Skien River at Tømmerkaia. You can sit outside in the sun or enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere indoors. We aim to be a place where everyone feels welcome, which is why we have a sandbox and playhouse for children. We're also dog-friendly, with designated areas in the café where dogs are welcome.
Our menu mainly features homemade food, including sourdough focaccia, sourdough pizza, baked goods, cakes, and delicious coffee. You're warmly welcome to visit us!
This summer, we’re open as usual, except for weeks 29 and 30 when we’ll be closed. On Sunday in week 28, we close at 4:30 PM.
Opening hours:
Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Saturday: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Sunday: 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM
