Food is good but pricey for counter service. Picking up can be a pain since there’s no pickup line and you’re waiting for everyone else doing counter service

Good breakfast and convenient location

It's hard to get away from the breakfast burrito, but do love the toasts too. They always have good seasonal food features seasonal coffee drinks. Can't skip their little pastry counter too. So good.

I live 45 minutes away. I stopped in to get a lunch and got the coconut green curry bowl. I also got the turmeric ginger latte. It was so good I'm already planning on going back tomorrow. That is how good it is. They also had some toys for kids to play with

I had a great experience here ordering food first time with a community Sunday group. I loved their vegan coconut green curry.

The mocha was quite good! My breakfast mate said her scone was very dry. My breakfast wasn't particularly hot and was also rather dry.

The atmosphere of this cafe is overall good because I saw a small kids playing are, great for families dining in with kids. The only downside would be the price of food, it’s more of a higher end for small cafe sandwiches, I paid almost $10 for just one sandwich, plus additional for the latte. Also since it’s our first time, we didn’t know that we actually need to take care of our own dishes when we first ordered up front. They asked for tips so both my friend and I tipped 20% but later realized that they only brought out the food to us but we had to do all the clean ups. The sandwich was alright, nothing very special or unique in flavor. We will probably be back for the coffee next time but not the food.

I’ve been to That Early Bird a handful of times over the years and it’s always been delightful. I’ve tried a range of beverages and food items with no complaints. Staff are always friendly giving this place a neighborhood feel.

This place is wonderful. They have a wide variety of vegan options and the food is delicious. The food has lots of flavor and the service was quick and the staff very friendly. Check this place out.

We are visiting from LA and saw this cute place while driving by. We got the Autumn Cold Brew, the hot lemon ginger, the mensch, and the Astro 2.0 with bacon and potatoes. Everything was delicious, they were so kind and helpful, I would recommend if you’re looking for a coffee and a quick bite. There were also a lot of people working because it’s such a nice atmosphere.

I adore the coffee at Early Bird. They always have the perfect seasonal drink. It's a great place to get some writing done on your own or to chat over coffee with friends. I wish they would bring back my favorite French toast that they used to serve a few years ago, I haven't found a meal option I really like since they got rid of it. Their scones and other pastries are still a great treat. Such a bright atmosphere
