I was looking for a breakfast place near Fauntleroy Park and was really sold on the great reviews of the breakfast sandwich. It turned out...excellent indeed. I had it in an everything bagel, and I loved how warm it was heated up, the creamy and rich flavor, and the decent portion. Its delicious and filling.On the other hand, my coffee is burnt, so in the end its a bit of a mixed experience.
Love this local coffee shop! So glad to have it in the neighborhood. Staff is super friendly, drinks and food are delicious. The bubble machine outside on weekends is a fun touch. Also my dogs really love getting a dog treat when we order at the outside window.
Everyone here was so nice! They had dog treats for my pup too! The coffee was great and the breakfast burrito delicious! Definitely going back to try their sandwiches! Highly recommend!
Hands down the BEST coffee shop on the south end of West Seattle. My coffee is always piping hot and ready to drink, and their breakfast sandwiches are delicious! My girlfriend loves her meatless Early Bird sandwich (no grease and chock full of flavor, get the fresh avocado spread!) and I treat myself to a pastry every time I drop by. Youll fall in love from your first order. Definitely visit!
Great coffee, great food, great vibes. Love the breakfast sandwich, it’s so so good. Wish they would add sea salt to the tomatoes on it tho. Fast service considering their longer lines. Bubble machine and intense music in the AM are a little much for me but it might be your cup of tea.. I mean coffee.
If I didnt already love this place for their coffee and AMAZING breakfast sandwiches (seriously - theyre huge, filling, and delicious), then the mural that they commissioned to provide art to the community would make me. Too bad a neighbor of theirs decided to deface it...
Great food and bakery treats. Easy walk up window and even though they were busy the wait was not long.
I am a cold brew fanatic! I love my cold brew dark with a hint of Carmel, I asked for that at The Birdhouse and it was delicious! I talked to the owner, Amber and she was so sweet and was easy to conversate with! They opened their coffee shop this past March when the pandemic hit us all really bad, but her and her husband persevered through and still has the shop rolling! Awesome local coffee shop!
Dropped by on a Saturday morning and found a long line down the street. It was worth the wait! Mocha was delicious, breakfast sandwich was tasty and the burrito was ENORMOUS. Staff was super friendly and fun to chat with. Gave treats to our doggo as well so Im sure he will be excited to go back.
Really fun spot to grab a quick breakfast, lunch, or drink. The sandwiches especially are amazing.
This is a great local spot for breakfast and lunch sandwiches and burritos. Im not a coffee drinker, so I cant speak to that, but Im so glad I have this place close to home!
Stellar service and excellent food. The menu was perfect die my vegan diet.
The ideal neighborhood coffee shop! The staff is *gasp* joyful, the coffee is great, and at 6am today they were jammin to Lionel Richie and Chic. Whats not to love? 😍
What a delightful little place. The barista was sweet and helpful. The coffee was yummy. We got a vanilla latte and it wasn’t too sweet! The sandwich was hot and yummy too. The bagel was soft and flavorful. The sausage needed a bit more salt or anise to bring out its flavor. The price was a bit steep in my mind as I’m not from here. However, for the experience of the neighborhood and the robust coffee was worth it! You won’t be disappointed!
Good coffee and breakfast items! Ill be back.
Great place, love their breakfast burritos!
The breakfast sandwiches are outrageously good. Wait time is relatively low given how much traffic they see. Love that this is within walking distance of my house.
Walked past this place a million times and finally tried it today. We were able to walk there with our dog, order at the window (the line was long, for good reason), and walk back home to enjoy our food. In the summer I can imagine it’s lovely to grab a table and hang out. I had the breakfast bowl and I was wary of the spinach and arugula mix (salad for breakfast??) but it was incredible. My husband ordered the burrito bowl and breakfast sandwich (had to order both for “research purposes”, ha) and they were also delightful. This will be our new breakfast spot in the neighborhood.
Hands down BEST coffee in West Seattle. They know how to make espresso.
Love this place! Great coffee and pastries. They have more breakfast options I have yet to try!!
Great coffee, great staff! Pandemic-era features a walk up window and a fun bubble machine for the kids while we wait. They sell Ravens Brew whole bean coffee as well, which we love for the home espresso machine.
Friendly staff with great smiles.
Very busy and fresh
Breakfast bowl was delicioussss with a large portion!!
First time going there and the batista was super nice the coffee tasted soooo good! Definitely im going back to get some more!
Great neighborhood coffee and breakfast. Staff are friendly, too!
Very tasty crafted coffee. I dont know if it is the beans or the barista but this is the best cup of coffee in W Seattle in my book.
Staff are unfriendly and unwelcoming. Ok coffee and pastries. Only come here as a last resort.
Staff is extremely nice and welcoming, the super burrito for breakfast was fabulous, but the coffee wasnt at the same level. Overall I rank it at 4 stars because of the food and the people, but dont go just for the coffee.
Carefully crafted espresso drinks made from a delicious dark roast. They also offer breakfast sandwiches (including a gluten-free version) that are hot and tasty. Splurge and add the Mama Lils pepper mayo for a little added kick.
This is such a neighborhood gem. Delicious coffee, pastries, and warm food options. They have done an excellent job pivoting to serve customers during COVID-19 and I appreciate their walk-up window and contactless payment options. The staff are friendly and the coffee is great.
The seasonal drinks here and chai tea are flavorful without being candy sweet, and I really really appreciate that! The food is great and everyone is friendly. So glad I found this place :)
Really tasty coffee and great service. I got a plain latte and I have to say the quality was great. Went around 8:30am and was able to find parking very easily. We got food and coffee to go but had a cute vibe and it would be a good place to hang out or read a book.
Coffee beans, quiche, cardamom latte, and a cinnamon pepper mocha. How can you miss?
Great breakfast sandwiches, but the breakfast salad is probably my favorite. Great coffee and fun and friendly staff! Love they have the walk up window.
Amazing coffee, great food, incredible business!
Miss the old name and branding. But still a good place to grab a coffee and a bite to eat in the morning.
Amazing and delicious breakfast burrito, and it was huge! The bagel sandwiches also looked amazing🤤
The Henderson bowl was delicious!!
The Birdhouse is our favorite local cafe, the vibe is cozy, rustic and cute. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming and the barista was so delightful as she made our coffee. We ordered lunch for two (BLTS on a toasty croissant 🤤 and homemade potato salad that was insanely good) we brought along our 20 month old daughter and she loved the little “kids corner” with books which I thought was a nice touch to keep the little ones entertained. 10/10 recommend this place for coffee, food and an overall positive place to chill ❤️
Husband and I are so happy we rediscovered this wonderful neighborhood coffee shop. We were delighted to find they have expanded and now serve breakfast unti 3. The food is amazing and the space has a lovely homey vibe.
So good. One of my favorite places to stop when Im in the area.
Great sandwiches, treats and coffee
Great coffee, take out window for CoVid19 and family meals
Super friendly, fun little spot, great coffee, great pastries and amazing food!
Amber is the BEST! Great cup of joe. And there was BUBBLES!
Fast service, delicious food, and rich espresso. The setting is rather adorable but also easy to miss the small hall leading to the entrance. They need a sign on the main drag to grab some attention. If youre near the area and need a quick stop for coffee or food, this is a great choice.
This spot is definitely amongst the best establishments in West Seattle 🤙
Cute, locally run, and delicious. The service was fast and polite and the atmosphere was exactly what I would want for a cup of morning coffee and a breakfast sandwich. A little on the pricer side but definitely worth it.
The hazelnut latte was flavorless. The Cuban espresso was not how it should have been. It was too acidic and not sweet at all. The staff treated us with disinterest, as if we were a burden. The WiFi for customers was not working. The only highlight of this place was their gluten free breakfast sandwich options.
Im hooked. My Americano is always smooth as can be... I make my own coffee at home and it just wont do anymore. Friendly, consistent staff. Great selection of gluten free items, harvest bread is so good slightly toasted. The remodel is fantastic! My fave neighborhood place for a morning pick me up.
One of the few places in West Seattle that genuinely cares about the quality of product they serve when it comes to espresso, coffee and food. The new location is super nice and inviting. A great place to bring family and friends for lunch or drinks, any day of the week.
Love their new super breakfast burrito .. so delicious.. :))
Amazing place! Super cute location. Amazing food ( had the breakfast chili) Great service. Very friendly and helpful staff. A must go! OH and the coffe is fantastic here!
This place makes me wish I still lived in West Seattle! And I definitely make it a regular visit when I have the time. Fantastic coffee, and the breakfast food is ridiculously good! You couldn’t ask for a better neighborhood coffee shop 😀
Great little place on South Seattle that is open earlier than most breakfast places. Service is always with a smile even in the wee hours of the morning. Recommend the jalapeño bagel with egg for breakfast. They dont have any unhealthy cold drinks or soda either. You will have to go to the gas station across the street for that.
Amazing pastry options even some gluten free! Plus a small menu or yummy things like a breakfast sandwich and I would definitely say its more than a coffee shop, its a sweet cafe.
Just what you want in a coffee shop—local, cozy, community, friendly & cool, with some blow-your-mind homemade baked goods, a kitchen for breakfast/lunch, and plenty of gluten-free options.
Great coffee man non-dairy options
Came here every day during a visit to Seattle. Espresso drinks better than drip coffee. All food was great.
Great Chai Latte and homemade soup. But they close at 4 pm so dont be late....
Lovely local coffee shop. Great tasting coffee and breakfast sandwiches.
Wonderful local coffee shop. They always have a good selection of pastries, and make really good breakfast sandwiches.
Heidi is an original and a great person who hires great people. Shes a smart business person who keeps the quality and variety of products at a top level. Its quintessential West Seattle, Warm, welcoming, a little funky but thats what makes it perfect.
The quintessence of Seattle and espresso can be found here in this little coffee shop. Absolutely delicious homemade breakfast sandwiches and baked goods along with lovingly crafted espresso drinks. A West Seattle gem.
Espresso blend was a bit too acidic for me. Nice comfortable place, friendly staff. I got straight espresso but if you get mixed drinks, like a latte, the acidity might not be as noticable.
Great find, puts starbucks to shame. if you are in w seattle you have to go here!! great coffee great service great ambiance!
Very low-key place - EXCELLENT Latte - didnt seem to mind if I sat there with my latte and did the Sunday crossword for almost two hours.
One of my favorite coffee shops. Delicious brewed coffee from Ravens Brew (although a bit pricey), but the food is what makes this place unique. Breakfast burritos so good youll buy two.
Cozy and comfy and with the most outstanding customer service. Excellent coffee, the best chai in the city, and great food, too! Love their breakfast sandwiches.
Nice place, limited menu choicesLots of coffee
Quiet, welcoming place to hang out while enjoying their homemade baked goods and bevs.
Nice coffee shop that also serves decent breakfast burritos and stuff. Really great place to grab a coffee and chill out and possibly interact with folks from the neighborhood. For some reason I find their to-go coffee lids annoyingly hard to drink out of.
A unique, local coffee shop that is kitchy-cute. The coffee and service is wonderful. Features grilled sandwiches and a wide variety of unique sweet-treats as well.
Small local coffee shop, nice place if your not looking for the big chain coffee shop. They didnt get my drink right but thats okay.
Overrated and overcrowded. They messed up the order of orders. People took what they didnt order and there is no control of it. I rather drive 5 mins more and go to the junction.Just your average neighborhood coffee shop. Nothing special.
Great coffee and food and super staff. Good karma, too - they found my day planner that I had left on the bus outside their shop and took the time to get it returned to me. Thank you, BOAWE!!
Great atmosphere. Amazing breakfast burrito. Delicious coffee and delectable pastries. Everyone needs to visit Bird on a Wire.
Good service, cozy atmosphere. The rotisserie chicken in my chicken sandwich was uncomfortably cold.
They have oat mill which is always a plus in my book! The super burrito was super yummy too.
Awesome Breakfast Burrito with fresh ingredients!! Hard to find decent breakfast burritos around so I will definitely be coming back.
Delicious chai latte! The Bird is celebrating its sweet 16 in the neighborhood. Love this place!
Great place to just sit, sip coffee, engage in good conversation and read the paper. Cat and dog friendly just an added bonus.
Fresh, delicious pastries and food. Friendly customer service combined with a quaint family friendly coffee shop
Funky neighborhood coffee shop an old building. I ordered a egg breakfast burrito that was tasty.
I love the feel in there dog friendly great coffee the Baristas are phenomenal and kind love that place would recommend it to anyone to the area
The revamped and expanded space is awesome! More seating, more tables in a bright, clean space.
I just had the best tasting super breakfast burrito for brunch, and the service was very friendly and quick. Highly recommended.
Barista was super nice!They use Ravens Brew coffee which is the best!:)
Best cappuccino Ive had in a while. And they serve breakfast until 2pm! I will be going back.
Best coffee in Seattle! Great customer service and yummy food, too. Highly recommended.
Delicious coffee. Friendly people. Local feels. The food on the menu looks great... Lots of GF options.
Great local coffee spot. Try the cheddar biscuit!
