I agree. They look a lot like blueberries, and they have similar
sweetness, and both are mild-flavored fruits. But other than that they
taste different.

I find serviceberries softer and drier and a little less acid than
blueberries. They're nice, but I prefer blueberries. I've only eaten wild
service berries, never cultivated ones.
