    Smoothie
    Natalie D.

    Stopped here for a quick work break and it's like a hidden gem! Worker was really nice and recommended me a smoothie! Did not disappoint at all and was really fresh! The ambiance in here is insane and so unique, unlike any cafe I've been to before. Tables are so unique , love all the decor and the perfect place to study or work from. They have a lot of other items you can enjoy from too. Could not recommend this place enough!

    the ambiance in this cafe is super cute, they have a ton of unique features like a keychain vending machine. You can tell they really care about building community and supporting small business. My matcha latte was decent, but nothing spectacular. I got a matcha with oat milk & flavored with strawberry. I would definitely get it again, especially since the area lacks coffee shops.

    My co workers love this place so I decided to come in for a visit the other day on my lunch break! The location itself is in a very nondescript plaza but I love the vibes inside. The baristas were all friendly and cool and I love the decor inside too. Their sandwiches are simple but delicious and I'm not usually a coffee person but I had best oat milk caramel macchiato .

    Came here on a Saturday morning to get some work done. The place has a lot of decorations with a nice vibe to it. I chose a table although they also have couches to sit down at. I ordered a lemonade with lavender as an added flavor. They had many different flavors to choose from. It had a nice subtle flavor. I also ordered an Italian sandwich and it was really good! I'd go back and order it again. When I was leaving I met the owner that was working next door. He was very nice and mentioned how they host different events at this cafe and in the building next to it. Overall I had a really nice experience here!

    Came on a weekday for brunch and to do some studying! There was plenty of parking spots as well. All the workers were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The air is super cold in here too! The WiFi was great and connected the whole time. Croissant sandwich with ham and Swiss cheese- Their sandwich option came with either bagel or croissant along with egg. This definitely hit the spot and was delicious when toasted. London fog- This was delicious for any non-caffeine drinkers. It was sweet but not too sweet either. My friend described it as fruity pebbles!

    What a great spot!! The food was straight forward, but good. I love a toasted bagel with stuff on it. For beverages, tons of options and hella milk options and the up-charge isn't crazy. There really isn't any service outside of ordering at the counter and your order being called. It's pretty straight forward. The vibe is quaint. I want to attend a poetry night soon, but have only been during the day where all the folks are working and such. Internet seems to be high speed and the subtle details of plants, couches, comfy chairs, etc. really set the tone.

    My party and I were able to walk in around 12pm so peak lunch hours and found a table being occupied by a single charging iPad. This belonged to a group of what I deem students that already occupied 2 tables (1 for them and the other for all of their items). Other than an uncontrollable factor by the establishment, we had a nice spot to study while we ordered their food and drinks. The interior is very chilled, very spacious, and the noise is reflective of the amount of customers they have. The latte matcha was good! The quality of the matcha was nice paired with the overall mix. The turkey sandwich was flavorful and a good hefty size. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and hit the spot. I also had a hazelnut latte that was hot, but the quality of the coffee was definitely better than what you get at the big name companies. I will definitely come by again when I want to study and grab a drink as it's a wonderful place to hang out and be productive. 5/5

    16oz Hazelnut Latte

    I loved the idea of this place, and isn't that what we look for in local coffee shops? The soul and vibe and the owner who helped take my order gave me such a welcome and connected me immediately to what inspired and keeps this place vibrant. Looking forward to attending their workshops and open mic nights. The chairs are a bit cold and loud, but that's easily remedied with a jacket. The outlets were plentiful and the guests all seemed to get their orders fairly quickly. The croissant soy chorizo was small, but delicious, and was even featured in the comic book that explained the origin story of this business. Way to go!

    Second time coming an ambience is really great it's nice and quiet, there's plenty of chairs, it's kind of dark but it's fine. Nice AC, plenty of comics to read and buy, and there's resources as well (flyers, pamphlets, masks, covid tests). The service is great, they're nice and patient and you can tell they care about the community. They are a bit slow I waited about 15 for two coffees and I was the first in line. Not a fan of waiting when it's to go and quick. Now the food, I don't know I haven't tasted it but the drinks are so mid. They use Costco brand oat milk and almond milk. They have no house made syrups and everything is artificially flavored. It's not something you can't do at home. They use syrup brands you can find at home goods, buy the milk from Costco, and just get some mid espresso. It's not appetizing at all the way they do it. I am giving them 3 stars for their customer service and the ambience. I would give them 3.5 because they care for their community. Drinks are a no no no here though. They have potential here but it's so mid.

    A very fun and inviting coffee experience. The ambience is vibrantly decorated with lots of fun comic reading materials and an arts & crafts table that makes it interactive. Staff are really friendly , who are all welcoming. They have a large menu selection of drinks, pastries and food.

    I always stop at Starbucks because it's convenient and on the way to work but honestly, I feel like it doesn't even wake me up or half of the time doesn't even taste good.. it's either too sweet or watered down. I had some extra time before going into work and I decided to stop here I got a cold brew, which was excellent! Instantly woke me up. I decided to try their breakfast croissant and that was super delicious and filling I only had half of it so far. I would come here again coffee was great and everything was made so fast. Thank you Birdcage Comics Cafe

The only reason I knew where to go was because I'd recently been here for a BBQ pop‑up in their parking lot.

The moment I walked in, the place gave classic homestyle diner vibes... small, cozy, and smelling like someone's grandma was in the back cooking with love. I was told to seat myself, and the staff checked in shortly after. The menu is huge, so it took me a minute to decide, but I went with a Denver omelette done "scramble style." No hesitation from the kitchen, they made it exactly how I asked. It came with home fries and a short stack of pancakes. My food arrived hot and fresh in about 10-15 minutes. One look and I understood why the parking lot was packed. The scramble smelled amazing and had that comforting warmth you only get from a true home‑cooked breakfast. The pancakes were fluffy, hot, and honestly way better than I expected. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, the kind of meal that makes you slow down and enjoy your morning. I couldn't finish it all, so I took the leftovers home, and even reheated the next day, it still tasted pretty good. Between the friendly staff, the generous portions, and the very fair pricing, I think I've found my new go‑to breakfast spot. I definitely enjoyed my meal.

Our order was taken within about five minutes of being seated, and the food came out impressively fast -- less than ten minutes. Everything we ordered was really good. One small tip: I'd recommend asking for the potato wedges well done and maybe a little lighter on the seasoning. My favorite dish was definitely the French toast -- it had a slight crunch on the outside while still being soft and fluffy inside, which made the texture perfect. The red chilaquiles were my second favorite. They had great flavor, and next time I'd probably add avocado to take them to the next level. Overall, this spot is definitely worth checking out for breakfast. Great service, quick turnaround, and really satisfying dishes. I'd happily come back again.

I prefer them extra crispy because they're a little under done for my liking the regular way they cook them. The accidentally added bell pepper and onion to them and the waitress let me know ahead of time. I told her it was ok because I actually like them like that. My torta was good. It's huge! Definitely a meal for 2 people. The bread was soft - it could've been toasted a bit more for me because it wasn't able to support the beans and meat and started falling apart. It comes with lettuce, tomato, avocado, beans, mayo, and cheese. The meat was flavorful and even had a nice char and the refried beans were nice and creamy. Even though it was good, it wasn't my favorite. No matter what you order, make sure and get their salsas. They have a green and red and I think it's best to mix them... The ambiance is full of life. There's music playing in the background but it's not too loud. Definitely a cool little spot to dine in.

I visited on 3/29/26 around 2 PM for lunch with my daughter and fiancé before heading to Knott's. As I mentioned, the food itself was excellent. The issue arose when we received the bill. My fiancé ordered a burrito and requested to add chorizo, fully expecting to pay the extra charge. However, when the burrito came out, it did not include chorizo. I ordered a combination plate, which offers either two items for $22 or three items for $27. I chose the two-item option and didn't think much of it until the bill arrived. When we reviewed the bill, we noticed that instead of charging for the combination plate, they charged us for two separate full meals (taquitos and enchiladas). On top of that, they also charged us for the added chorizo that we never received. We brought up the chorizo, and they did remove that charge. However, that prompted us to take a closer look at the rest of the receipt. That's when we realized we had been overcharged for the combination plate. When I brought this to the attention of a waitress (who, I should note, was not our original server), she told me they don't have a combination plate on the menu and quickly walked away. We waited for someone to return, but no one did. Since we had already paid and had somewhere to be, we decided to leave. Afterward, I checked their website to confirm whether the combination plate was part of the regular menu or possibly a limited or brunch-only item. It is clearly listed as a regular menu item. This means the waitress gave incorrect information, and at no point did our original server mention that the combination plate was unavailable. Instead, he allowed me to order it and then charged us incorrectly. Because of this lack of honesty and transparency, I'm giving this place a 2-star rating. I strongly encourage anyone dining here to double-check their receipt, as after reading other reviews, this seems to be an ongoing issue at this location.
