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.

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

I was super happy with what I ordered. I’m sure the coffee is great here but I ordered matcha and it wasn’t my fav. Could be stronger but overall happy with everything.

The bacon had a weird taste like it had lighter fluid on it and I asked for a strawberry cold brew latte that had no strawberries and the potatoes tasted like they were left in water that was old. Plus the eggs tasted cheap. There is a difference between a farm fresh egg where the chicken eat well and they eat cheap feed or kitchen scraps. The eggs could have been cheap grocery store eggs and there would have been little difference in quality. The sour dough toast was edible. Oh our table split a muffin that was supposed to be banana. I didn’t taste banana. The locals seem to enjoy this place with its overpriced “art” on the walls. If you are from out of town, don’t spend 70$ on brunch there, it’s a rip off.

Delicious made to order food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great Americano and lattes. Indoor and patio seating. Nice place for couples, families, to work, or meet up with friends. Food and drink selection is top notch.
I understand coffee and matcha prices are through the roof but nothing compared to a $10 matcha today. I’ve never felt so judged then when I asked for the prices of a matcha. The prices were not listed so I wanted to know what I was getting into. He told me it be $4 for the large matcha and then proceeded to charge me $10.60. He was already upset at me for asking for the prices and a visual of sizes so I just payed for it and moved on with my day. Definitely wouldn’t come back. There is nothing wrong with asking for prices especially in this economy. At the end of the day, my matcha was grainy and wasn’t good at all. But with the way I was treated, I did not want to speak to that guy at the front anymore.

My favorite place to work out of the office - amazing drink specials and food! It is quiet but not silent. Lots of plugs too!

The food came out extremely fast. The chorizo breakfast burrito was absolutely incredible. I also really enjoyed the cold brew, latkes, and matcha. The atmosphere is killer with lots of natural light and the bar offers great views of the historic neighborhood.
