Birdy’s Coffee House & Little Kitchen

This place makes the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. The coffee is fantastic, the service is great and I wish they served dinner!!!

TLDR: The younger employees need better training and I was very disappointed after waiting over 20min for one drink. I love supporting local businesses, but I had a hard time with this one. I've had a little over a week to think about it, because I was contemplating writing a review in the first place.

Don't shy away from the onions - they're unreal even if it's not traditional on a breakfast sandwich. If you like spicy, the habanero salsa will blow your socks off and clear up your sinuses for a week. I haven't even ventured into the rest of the me
