Four & Twenty Blackbirds is a Gowanus, Brooklyn bakery best known for its pies, and it's the kind of place that turns into a genuine draw around the holidays — reviewers and local coverage describe lines forming specifically for Thanksgiving pie pickup, not for everyday counter service.
Reported wait culture centers on the Thanksgiving stretch: accounts describe a line down the block starting as early as 7am and roughly an hour-long wait, repeating over several days as customers pick up pre-ordered holiday pies. Outside that seasonal crunch, the shop reads more like a standard neighborhood bakery, so the best-time guidance is straightforward — avoid the days immediately before Thanksgiving if you want to skip a line, or go early on a normal weekday for the quietest visit.
