First, I'd like to say that any spot that's also owned by the same people as District Elleven is going to be good. You just know it! The taco place next door and of course the speakeasy? Drinks are going to be drinking, Not that I've gotten that out of the way... I've always heard such great things about Bird Tree Cafe. And I hadn't gone until yesterday! Figured I'd go before the farmers market across the street in Acacia Park. I got the bookworm latte and it was so good. I was worried it would be too sweet (it was a little sweet), but the brown sugar cinnamon syrup they make really balanced it out. It was so good. It was creamy, dreamy, and the caramel was decadent. I didn't get any food--just the coffee unfortunately, but I do plan on coming back! $7.25 (I think) for a latte is a bit pricey, but the drink is really good. So if you're gonna spend a bit extra, go there for a coffee instead of Starbucks. Service was quick for a long line and the hanging plants and lights made for such a great vibe. I cannot wait to come back and try their breakfast and more lattes! read more

Stopped in after hiking the Manitou Incline and needed a quick bite to refuel. So glad I found this place! The staff was super busy when I walked in, but they still took the time to greet me and were incredibly friendly. I ordered, found a seat, and my drink and pastry came out really quickly. Everything tasted fresh and hit the spot after a long hike. Great food, great service, and a really welcoming atmosphere. If you're in the area and looking for a place with good vibes and friendly people, I'd definitely recommend stopping by read more

Well, how good can it be? As visitors we came for breakfast and despite other options in the area we came back for happy hour the same day! Let me tell you we were happily impressed the first time and the second visit certainly did not disappoint! The atmosphere is eclectic and vibrant. The staff is knowledgeable, welcoming and attentive. Chalkboard menus tempt the tastebuds with an impressive variety of offerings. The ingredients were undeniably fresh and the recipe combinations made the flavors absolutely delightful. Excellent presentation. Well done Chef! For breakfast we had the Rick & Morty Scrambled Egg and the Haas Queen Toast with Egg sunny side up - thanks for the expertly crisped edges chef! At Happy Hour we had the Hummus Dish which had noticeably crisp fresh vegetables and a surprise shaved radish to accompany the standout house made hummus - yum! And of course we had to try the Bloody Marys. These turned out to be standout servings of fresh and vibrant ingredients with a noticeable kick! Nice job Bird Tree Cafe - you literally made our day! read more

Best. Latte. Ever. Seriously. It was a simple latte. No syrups or anything. Just good coffee and steamed, foamy milk. The space itself is so cozy and creative. They were literally getting ready to swap out the Alice In Wonderland theme for Ricky Horror Picture Show, and I was so sad that I was leaving town that evening because I really wanted to see the new look! I also had a breakfast burrito during one of my two visits. It was tasty. Smothered in gravy and filled with the usual breakfast burrito type fillings, it kept me nice and full for the next 6 hours! If you are in Co Springs, don't sleep on this gem. If I were local, this would be my go-to coffee shop. The staff is really nice, the coffee is amazing (need to find out who their roaster is. I believe they are local), and the decor is just fun and whimsical and the vibe artsy and cozy. Ah. Just go, people. You won't be disappointed read more

Cute coffee shop downtown. They have really fun specialty lattes and cocktails. The music is pretty upbeat so it'd be a great place to chit chat with friends. There's lots of street parking open in the mornings. There's also a patio for when it's nice outside. I ordered a blueberry vanilla latte since they have house made syrups and it was just ok! It tasted like watered down syrup. read more

Bird Tree Café has a cute vibe and some solid menu items, but our visit was a little off. They're supposed to open at 8, but not today--we were asked to wait outside because they were running behind. Could've just been an off morning, but it definitely set the tone. Food-wise, there were some wins! The yogurt parfait was delicious--loved the fresh blueberry compote and house-made granola. The breakfast sandwich was generously sized and satisfying. The real standout was the breakfast burrito--huge and packed with sausage and potatoes. Pastry options were limited. I went with the blueberry kolache but wouldn't get it again--basically a small donut with blueberry compote in the middle. It was warmed and not too sweet, just not quite what I was expecting. Coffee was great! I had the drip and my husband got the Bookworm Latte with pretty foam art--both served in giant mugs, which we loved. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and the patio is dog-friendly with shaded tables. You can also bus your own table--they've got a station inside for dirty dishes and cups, which we appreciated. Service was just okay. A couple of items were forgotten but brought out once we followed up. Overall, we'd give it another shot--hopefully next time will be smoother read more

Have I been eating everything not tied down? Yes!! Am I ready to course correct? Sure!? But first, let me sink my teeth into this here brekke burrito real quick. Bird Tree Cafe was recommended to me from Story Coffee when I inquired on a quick bite to eat nearby. I dined in solo, we all know how much I love a solo date. The menu is quite impressive. On rare occasions I prefer savory over sweet in the morning and this was one of those days. I chose the burrito. I didn't realize it was a "wet" burrito which always seems a bit different but nonetheless I fork and knifed my way through it. Delish! Hit the spot on a cold winter morning. Nearly every last seat was taken in Bird Tree, quite the popular spot. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a bite to eat around here. Looking forward to returning in the future. Service was great. read more

They can make almost everything on the menu gluten free. The service is great. Told them it was my husband's birthday and they gave him a complimentary pastry.

The restaurant's ambiance is cute and comforting. The decor is sweet yet funky. The variety of food was surprising! From vegan to keto to everything in between. I got the early bird breakfast bowl- wow! The sweet potato (caramelized?) contrasted the saltiness of the egg so well. I loved the crunch of the pine nuts! It was filling as well as healthy. I did add a side of bacon, just because. My husband got the breakfast burrito and also enjoyed it. read more

Unfortunately I didn't have the best experience at this cute little cafe! The service was great... The ambiance was artsy and eclectic... It's in a nice location... But parking was hard to come by and wasn't free. I actually had to try multiple spots because the parking meters weren't working. Obviously not their fault but it wasn't a good start. The biggest let down was that their coffee tasted like it came from a packet and not a cafe. I'd been wanting to try this place for so long and had such high hopes but I left feeling disappointed. I'm tempted to go back and give it another try because the vibe is that cute but I don't want to pay for bad coffee. Maybe if I'm in the area. I wouldn't say it's worth going out of your way for. read more

I worked from here for a few days while my daughter attended a day camp at the zoo. It was magical. The food/coffee was so amazing, I tried several things and was very pleased with all of it. The staff is kind, genuine and funny! Early in the week the ambiance was comforting, yet energizing. Towards the end of the week, I started to get a little jealous as the groups of friends, families and travelers were stopping in for brunch. The WiFi was also great! I took a couple work calls via teams and was working on our cloud with ease. 10/10 definitely coming back to enjoy it when the season changes as their themes are so fun!! read more

Usually my go-to coffee place downtown, however it is often crowded. The food selection is limited, but delicious still. I love the biscuits and gravy as well as the hummus. One star missing due to crowding and people who seem to just take up tables from those who otherwise need to sit and eat, which doesn't seem to be a staff issue, but more of a clientele one. read more

Love this little gem of a cafe, which has no doubt seen a big influx of new customers (myself included), since the recent closure of a nearby local hangout.

What a lovely, small place! With outside seating, this jewel can serve a fair number of folks. There are regulars and stop ins, and people like me who saw good reviews. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are high tables and low tables and outside tables. And the food is eclectic but yummy. They serve their full menu all day, which makes me very happy. I was greeted upon arrival and, when I asked questions, I was given wonderful suggestions about how much they could vary the menu. I decided to try the earlybird breakfast bowl, but wanted to substitute something for the egg. The counter suggested, either adding hummus or more avocado. I chose to add hummus and extra greens as well. This made for a very filling, delicious and nutritious meal. Can't wait to come back and try something else! read more

My wife, Bea, and I have found some really good restaurants in Colorado Springs, but Bird Tree Café is not one of them. Although the servers are okay and the décor is stylish, the food is not great. We had breakfast there, which consisted of avocado toasts, chai teas, and a side of potatoes. For $78 plus tip, I don't think it is unreasonable to expect most of the items to be freshly prepared rather than just warmed up. Here are a couple of examples: Initially, I wanted a breakfast burrito, but I am not a fan of quinoa, so I asked them to skip it. They told me they could not do this because all the burritos were made the day before. I therefore decided to get us the avocado toasts. They were served on a baguette that seemed at least a day old. The side of potatoes was dried out and rubbery, like they had been fried sometime in the past and then warmed up in the microwave. I could go on, but you get the idea. If you want a good breakfast, skip this place and go to Susie's Westside Café (https://www.yelp.com/biz/susies-westside-cafe-colorado-springs) instead. This place is small and not fancy, but the servers and the food are great. PS: I love the prior review by John David M. on 9/14/24. Concise but he says so much. Thanks John. read more

Adorable place! Had the best Rueben sandwich ever!!! It's cozy and cute. Great lunch place!

Loved this place. Outdoor seating available so I will bring my doggie next time. It's right across from a grassy park. I had the French toast which was out of this world. My friend had a bacon sandwich. The bacon looked thick and tasty...not from a grocery store. Our server, I didn't get her name, had pink hair. I love people with pink hair. She was outstanding. Oh, BTW, the coffee was excellent. I'll definitely be back. read more

Good for cocktails. Coffee was given to us in a cup with crumbs floating in it. Asked for a new one and the server seemed put out at the request. The French toast had to be sent back because we asked for no toppings. Then the second attempt was undercooked and just wet. read more

We had a stopover in Colorado Springs and decided to try this restaurant. It was quite by accident because we were heading to Humble Coffee and didn't realize it was in an office building. That was not the vibe we were looking for. I had the breakfast burrito smothered with green chili stew which is definitely the way to go. The coffee was so so.

Tejon Street in Colorado Springs offers a lot of options for shopping and dining. However, I'm a big fan of supporting unique, local, small businesses. Bird Tree Cafe is an excellent example of this. The minute you walk in, you are immediately calm and at ease. It is charming and cozy with many creative menu selections. We were welcomed the minute we arrived, and our server at the bar was cheery, friendly and attentive. My husband referred to his latte as "happiness in a cup," and quite enjoyed his BLT. My Hass Queen Toast was AMAZING! The plate it was served on was almost too small, considering the generous amount of dressed greens on top, but I accepted the challenge and just worked my way from the top. The guajillo aioli atop the dressed greens added a lovely tang, and the roasted tomato and ricotta gave the smashed avocados extra smoothness and flavor. I ordered mine with a fried egg, and the yolk from that only added to the rich and velvety feel of this combination. Bird Tree is was a wonderful experience, and worth a visit...or two. read more
