What People Are Saying About Bluebird Cafe

The Scene – The weekend produces lines of college students and tattooed patrons snaking down the sidewalk in front of the neon orange, green and blue building. Inside, the plain wooden tables that barely support the upcoming feast. The friendly staff is prompt, sailing through the large room exchanging knowing glances and jokes, lost on all except those who pocket the tips. – – The Food – The sticky menu dishes up many choices. Huevos rancheros are stacked with soft tortillas, creamy beans, veggies and fluffy eggs. The massive burger is just like the ones Dad made on…

Waste of time!

by CSMobileUser2

If you are looking for an enjoyable breakfast, fly away fast from the bluebird cafe. The food sounds exciting on the menu, but once it hits your tastebuds the excitements fades away.The bluebird's wings shall be clipped due to such horrible food.

Solid, original Breakfast Food

by jgelby

Well worth the 10 minute taxi ride from the quarter. Great potatoes, Huevos Rancheros, and migas(scrambled eggs with chilies, tortilllas, and cilantro), to die for. Quick, friendly service, and allthough we had to wait in line to get in, it moved very fast. Enjoy.

  • Pros: Great food
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

delicious food, quirky service, cozy atmosphere

by justgorgeous

There is a reason this place is so popular - it's great. My grilled cheese was to die for. Coffee is so-so, but what do you expect from a diner? Takes a while to get in on the weekends but service is pretty fast. Very no-fuss. Server gives you the ticket when the food comes, and you pay at the register when you are done. If you're by yourself or with one other person, you can usually get a spot at the bar quickly. They have a bunch of books and magazines if you're by yourself.

  • Pros: quick service, good prices
  • Cons: street parking (metered on weekdays), bad coffee
