My girls and I had brunch there. We all enjoyed the food. The kimchi rice was absolutely delicious!The space is small but clean and comfortable. It is helpful to ask directions at the front desk since you take an elevator to get there. Totally worth your time.

Food was awesome and very inexpensive. It’s very hard to find as it is located in the basement!

Went there for breakfast and it was DELICIOUS! We had the dumpling bowl, the protein plate, and a grilled cheese and all were great, but the dumpling bowl was the best. Coffee was good too and service was very fast and friendly. We had the place to ourselves. This place is easy to get to (take elevator to B1 and go right and right) and has nice very clean bathrooms in the building too.Kid-friendliness: Simple place and lots of kid friendly food on the menu.

The owners of this shop are so friendly and welcoming! The food is well-priced, filling, and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. Don't be alarmed if Google Maps says you have to walk through an office building to get there -- you're in the right place!

I went into the office building but could not find the cafe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The food here is absolutely delicious and a wonderful surprise - affordable, good portions and very fresh, also! Highly recommend the bowl with the vegetable dumplings and noodles and salad - also, the kimchi was so good! My only regret is that I didn't get to eat here more than once. It's a bit hard to find (ask the building concierge) and the ambience is a bit lacking (feels like a cafeteria) but the food is so good - you will not be disappointed!

Awesome place, hidden away in an office building, run by a sweet Korean couple. They serve delicious food for fair prices. Always a smile on their face. We liked it so much, that after breakfast, we ordered lunch to go and came back the next day for breakfast again!

Hidden gem !! Located at the bottom of an office building and delicious Asian and American food

A new favorite grab-n-go breakfast spot of mine. Earlybird is an actual hidden gem located in the basement of an office building. The cafe is cute and clean. It's run by an older Korean couple who are super sweet. I'm a big fan of their protein plate. It's a lot of protein for only 8 bucks! Their bowls and salads are good too. I haven't tried their coffee, but my friend likes to grab their morning cup of Joe here.

this is a great family run lunch spot. you won't be disappointed with the pesto panini, breakfast sandwiches, or any of the korean bowls.

No sign showing where the entrance is. Gave up searching after circling the building.

A small family run business on the basement of an office building. Just husband and wife working. They are so sweet and diligent in their work. Food is really delicious, and coffee was surprisingly really good too (got the large cappuccino). I got the protein plate for late breakfast, and it filled me the entire day. So great. A lot of condiments and utensils are self-serve, which is convenient for a quick, quiet meal. Recommend & please support!!!!

A cute little cafe at the basement/ garage level of an office building. There are multiple businesses within this large building so I imagine various people pop down here for breakfast and/or lunch. They close during the afternoon (I think 2) so don't plan burning the late night oil and popping down here for a bite. There was just one woman working taking orders and making the food and she was kind. I got the chicken teriyaki bowl which has rice, lettuce, tomatoes and probably some other things I'm forgetting about. Overall it was sufficient and satisfying. The chicken could've used a little more seasoning and I added sirracha to give it a little more pop. Overall, I think this is a good place to pop into if you're already in the building. Enjoy!

Friendly couple run the small cafe located in the basement of commercial building. Good food, good prices, and good coffee.

Protein plate was fantastic. Loved the patty, tomatos and bacon. This for US$8. Perfect
