I have been going to Birdhouse semi regularly for a year now and it has been a staple for my coffee needs. It is a walk up window, with 4-5 benches by the wall. It is a very popular place in the neighborhood. They have a large selection for seasonal drinks and also sell baked goods too. They have a big food menu as well. The coffee is fantastic, they prepare it with great care. The waiting times are not. I have waited around 25 minutes multiple times over the past year for a single order of coffee, which has diminished my experience here. They almost always have a huge queue of online orders, at peak morning hours. You’d like to factor that in if you’re walking up and ordering. We have tried the veggie burrito and salmon bagel but were left unimpressed for the taste and price. Although, the oatmeal was delicious. I hope they’d prioritize walk up orders in future.

Visiting from the East Coast and found this place when looking for good coffee other than Starbucks. The owner was kind and the food was great!! It’s a small business but they have something that truly stands out. There is outside seating. Not sure if there’s anything indoors. Grabbed an iced coffee and some breakfast sandwiches. The food and coffee was not weighted in artificial ingredients and you can taste the difference. Coffee…amazing! Food was great. Visit, visit, visit!!

Fabulous coffee shop! The food is great and they make an excellent cardamom latte. I’ve been going for a long time and big shift I’ve noticed this winter is prioritizing online orders over patrons who come to the window. There’s been a significant reduction of efficiency for people who order at the window and waiting 15 to 20 minutes for a coffee in the morning is totally absurd. And that’s a wait for coffee only. I have stopped ordering food in the morning altogether. I wouldn’t mention it if it only happened once, but it’s so consistent now, the loooong wait, that it’s changing my morning coffee stop. I hope it gets worked out and back to a balance for all as I absolutely love the spot!!
