Best breakfast in the area! We love eating here and have enjoyed each thing on the menu we have tried. We love the relaxed atmosphere and great service. Everything is always as ordered. The food is genuinely top notch and at a great price. I personally love the Hemingway eggs Benedict! It is a must try! read more

Rolled into Bluebird Café in North Liberty when it was packed wall-to-wall, fully expecting to grow old in the booth before my food came. Instead, my bacon cheeseburger showed up so fast I barely had time to scroll TikTok twice. Juicy, cheesy, and that bacon? Chef's kiss. Busy or not, these people know how to hustle and feed you like you're the favorite child. read more

Bluebird Cafe - Krakatoa Hash Browns & Black Coffee - New American Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

The food is cold almost every time. Today no one checked on our table for ten minutes after delivering the food. The seats are broken and I didn't feel good after eating the food. You be the judge. read more

The food is great here and the inside is beautiful. I will say that it's typically very busy so service could sometimes be a little overwhelmed since lots of families come here for breakfast and family gatherings. I would say you have a better chance going here with a smaller group than with a larger one. Since they don't have a lot of seating that can accommodate very large groups. read more

Service is always friendly and fast. The food is always delicious. I would have taken a picture but everyone was hungry and devoured their food. Thanks Bluebird for another great breakfast. read more

DELICIOUS!!!!! I believe our server was Giselle. Her recommendations were spot on. Probably my favorite a new breakfast place.

Super friendly staff. Clean cafe with cute decorations and comfy booths. The food was delicious and came out relatively quickly with how busy they were. If you are looking for a traditional breakfast spot, this is the place to go. read more

Bluebird Cafe - omelette, bluebirds special, chocolate chip pancake - New American Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

Stopped in on a Sunday morning and boy were they busy. They gave us a wait time of 30 minutes and that was pretty accurate. Once seated, a drink order was taken quickly and they had a dedicated drink crew keeping the drinks flowing. It was a bit slow to get our order taken and then the kitchen was really slammed so it took a while to get our food. Once our food arrived, all was great as the food was excellent. You can easily forgive a long wait when the order is correct and the food is excellent! Bottom line, be patient when you know that a restaurant is very busy. read more

Another favorite go to restaurant in North Liberty. The food is always great and I love their staff! Cozy atmosphere and never disappoints!

I stopped by Bluebird Cafe this Saturday morning around 8:30 am and only had to wait a couple of minutes to be seated, which wasn't bad at all. I built my own egg omelette with asparagus, onions, bell peppers, spinach, feta cheese, and added a side of pesto and smoked salmon. It came with hashbrowns on the side. The omelette was delicious, although the hashbrowns were a bit overcooked. One concern I had was that some of the young ladies preparing the orders weren't wearing gloves when handling food like the toast. I saw them touching their pants, hair, and cellphones, which made me question the hygiene. They should consider wearing gloves for food safety, especially with items like toast that are handled directly. On a positive note, our waitress was very pleasant and checked on us frequently, which made the experience even better. My girlfriend ordered a vegan omelette with toast, and she had no issues with her meal. We both enjoyed our teas--she had green tea, and I went with peppermint. The little tea pot were a nice touch, and the overall atmosphere of the cafe was cozy, even though it was busy. read more

I'm not impressed with a lot of breakfast restaurants, but I was definitely impressed with Bluebird. They make a Krakatoa omelet with citrus cream cheese (I got it without bacon) & I was blown away with how original & delicious it was. Our server was also very sweet. read more

We usually have a really good breakfast. The last 3 visits, the bacon has been soggy for both our meals. Servers, please tie your hair back. we don't want your hair touching our food as you deliver and lean over to place the food down. read more

Let me just start by saying that I went to this place by myself at 7am to study for an important exam, so it wasn't busy (as far as I was aware). I am also very big into food, but ever so slightly picky in how things taste. However, the food was deliciously perfect! The biscuits and gravy were on point. Secondly, the server was amazing at what she did. She made sure that all her tables were given what they needed very efficiently and quickly. Third, the ambiance was wonderful! Very clean and very nice! I loved the music that played and the decor they had all over the walls. The process for the bill was quick as well... I felt bad because I had stayed for longer than what people typically stay for, but they never made me feel rushed to leave or forced me out, so thank you! (And thank you for complimenting my card! You're so kind! ) Lastly, as a person who worked in the food industry before, working in a restaurant is a very tough job to do. At times, it can get very overwhelming for them. That being said, please give them all grace to get to you. There's often a lot of people in their section and only one them. Thank you all for your hard work and service! read more

Bluebird Cafe - Biscuits and gravy ($13) with a coffee ($3) - New American Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

Though I'm not a local, this place will be top on my itinerary for future visits. The staff was attentive, efficient and friendly and the food well prepared, with generous servings. Great value! read more

Good food, great people! They always are ready to serve we a big smiles. Breakfast is the best in eastern Iowa. read more

We loved our server who seemed like a professional. I wish I knew his name but he had a super cool rose tattoo on his upper right arm and a tattoo world map on his left lower arm. He was friendly, the service was quick, and attentive. Our food was tasty. The Krakatoa omelet was delicious yet interesting with the citrus cream cheese. I couldn't tell if I enjoyed the citrus notes or not, but I ate the whole omelet. The cinnamon roll French toast is exactly what you'd expect. It's not super eggy like the French toast I make at home but it's definitely not just a cinnamon roll either. The sausage is homemade and sweet. The diner itself was cute and has a variety of seating; booths, two-top tables, outdoor seating, bar tops. It was an overall good experience. read more

Bluebird serves wonderful food and great coffee. I always enjoy my visits, it is always a good choice!

Breakfast is always good! Nice variety and prices. Service is great! Get there early especially on weekends because there is a waiting list!

A Friday night at about 7 pm with mostly moms, dads, and their kids. A homey atmosphere. I ordered meatloaf. Nice ambiance. My waitress lazily plunked my set up onto the tabletop in the middle of nowhere, instead of where it was supposed to go, on my side of the table. I decided I wanted coffee but my waitress, Josie, cut me short and rushed off, having failed to ask if I wanted cream in my coffee, which I did. The portion was gigantic and it tasted pretty good. The side of of fried onions and peppers was a little greasy. I wish I could say it was piping hot, but it was not. Instead, all the items were lukewarm which meant the plate had sat at the window waiting to be picked up while she gabbed with her buddies. Good meatloaf, nicely-sized portion but nearly cold. After the meal, I ordered chocolate cake for dessert. I watched Josie remove what looked like the sole surviving, a plastic-wrapped portion, from under the bar. On its last legs, the hunk of cake was shamefully inedible, Dry as a bone, and hard like a rock. I sent it back without taking a single bite. I dawdled over coffee. When I motioned that I was ready for my ticket, Josie promptly plunked it down on my table, asking if I wanted a to-go box. I said yes which she quickly delivered. But she failed to ask how the meal tasted and never took the opportunity to ask if I wanted anything further. Marginal service. At about midnight, I vomited on and off for about five or ten minutes. The rank taste in my mouth: Regurgitated meatloaf. Disappointing meal. Should I go back? read more

Fun and Intimate diner style. They have good pancakes and creative breakfast/brunch items. We liked the omelette and eggs Benedict. Decent coffee. Service was attentive and great. read more

Overall a great little diner. Lots of food choices & you can order breakfast at any time during the day! Service was good. Only thing ish they had flavored creamers & that my hash browns were so soggy. read more

Bluebird Cafe - New American Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner - Bluebird does it all with ease. It's a "go-to" for many locals, a place to bring guests, and a place to grab takeout when you can't decide on dinner. Bluebird has become one of my top places to order out from. Bluebird is also normally very fast, so while you may have to wait a long time for orders to be ready elsewhere, that's not the case here. Their specials are what helps them rise to the top, in my opinion. The variety in the specials is enjoyable and means that you won't get tired of ordering the same thing over and over. If you eat in, make sure to check the board on your way in; and if you call for takeout, ask what their specials are (they also often post them on social media, but not all the time). read more

The smile when you come in, the gathering of people and the cutest server in the whole world...oh, the food!!! Yes, the food WAS MEMORABLE and delicious!!! I gave this place 5 stars, that I'm selfish with; because they're that phenomenal! Try them asap, and enjoy! read more

It was busy. But I got sat at the counter and my server was fast, accurate and friendly. The food was good. Will go back.

Bluebird is a solid breakfast spot and is appreciated as there aren't a lot of breakfast options in North Liberty. As others noted, it does get pretty busy because of this. They are pretty quick once you order though. While they do offer lunch/dinner items, they are more known for breakfast which is served all day. I like to try different items whenever I go there, and I haven't found anything I dislike. I definitely recommend the cinnamon rolls. They are huge, so you may need to share! read more

Service was horrible. The server was an older lady (maybe late 50s) but she was very rude and passive. She was chatting with a manager maybe or another server? The lady was walking around the entire time not helping customers. The food came out cold and dry from sitting in the window. The overall restaurant was okay but the music was horrible as it played the same song 3 times within those two hours I was there. read more

Ordered takeout but unfortunately when we got back home we found out we were missing 1/2 of our order. Called them and had to run back. Fair.... The staff didn't care at all about the inconvenience. Simple tasks could be completed by your staff to ensure the full orders are provided. Now we get eat cold breakfast. Great! read more

Party of 3. First of all, just let me say, I rarely give a 5 star review. Very few places hit every mark spot on. Seated straight in the door, I expected a wait, but they're on top of it! Drinks came out quickly. Took us a few minutes to order, being our first time here. Crab cakes on a hoagie with remoulade sauce, perfect, refills right there, perfect, beer battered fish, perfect, hamburger's juicy deliciousness, perfect. Cleanliness, perfect, even the restrooms. Homemade ranch. This is like the test of all tests when you're a devout lover of ranch. PERFECT. I am seriously blown away by this establishment and plan on making this a regular stop while in the area. I enjoy eating local, but enjoy it even more when it's delicious AND local! I can't wait to go back to purchase one of those cute coffee mugs! read more

Bluebird Cafe - Sun warmth dining - New American Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

I've always had a good experience dining at Bluebird Cafe and ordering my meals out now is just the same. I've picked up my meals twice now and the food is delicious, and, the best part, ready to go in 10 minutes! I've ordered a basic eggs, toast, hash browns, and sausage breakfast to go and it was so filling and good. The staff was great about making sure I had utensils and condiments to go along with my meal before I left. The second time I ordered, I had the Big Person Grilled Cheese. Yum! Perfect blend of melted cheese on thick bread and great fries. I will always keep Bluebird at the front of my mind as a go-to place for (almost) anything I'm in the mood for. You will not be disappointed ordering from Bluebird Cafe! read more

Brunch was great! Good service! Lots of different options for everyone. Try to get there early to avoid a wait.

One of the best breakfast I have ever had. Pancakes are out of this world and enormous. Corn beef hash was perfection. Service was spot on. Do your self a favor and go. read more

Really great hearty breakfast! The coffee was good. Food came out quickly and the server was very attentive. Look forward to returning!

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Super busy, so the 15 minute wait for a table was understandable. We had to wait probably 30 minutes after placing our orders but it was well worth it. The Popeyes omelette was delicious and the hash browns were great too. Pancakes are good but could use some more vanilla. The decor is cool, lots of mirrors everywhere which really makes the place feel bigger. Very good spot for breakfast overall read more

Long wait time of over an hour. So went to Iowa city was 30-40 minutes. It's always been great food but I can't stand that long. I'm physically disabled read more

If you have only one chance for a breakfast in North Liberty Iowa, go here! Selections, food preparation and staff are top notch. Comfortable ambience as well. She really enjoyed her omelet. My gravy with hash browns and eggs were nearly perfect. Tiny dings on the quantity of gravy (maybe another dollop next time?) and my biscuits were a little under done (sorry, pet peeve). read more

I went to Bluebird Cafe in North Liberty after an appointment that I had nearby. I ordered their Baby Spinach Salad along with an English muffin with jelly. The food tasted delicious and the service was good as well. My waitress never let my water get empty which was great, especially considering I drink a lot of water. In the past, I have visited this same Bluebird Cafe and ordered a build-your-own omelette and was not disappointed then either. I will definitely visit again in the future. Overall, a great experience. read more

Flawless! Greater than great! my burger was unbeatable! Not even a French burger could beat this! - Vinny age 9

What do you say about bluebird Café that has not already been said? This is simply the quintessential brunch spot on a Sunday morning. Frankly, nothing is spectacular but at the same time nothing is ever bad. It is simply a safe place to eat. The coffee is really good. Waffles are really good, if not overpriced. The hamburgers are really good. Everything is really good. Like I said. It is safe. That is assuming you can get a seat on a Sunday morning, which is always a challenge. If there is a frustration with the menu items, it is that they do not offer chicken and waffles. They have chicken strips. They have waffles. Why not combine the two into the ever trendy chicken and waffles plate? The only other negative I can think of, which is what keeps this from being a five star review, is that the service is very very hit or miss. Sometimes you have a server that seems to always be on top of refilling your drinks and/or checking in on you. Other times, it feels as if you are the last people on the planet, trying to get a refill of coffee. Considering the price of a cuppa coffee, you should always try to get at least two or three cups. If you are looking for a safe brunch spot on A Sunday morning and have an extra 45 minutes of patience to wait, this is your spot. read more
