Ambiance:Tea/ Afternoon tea. Seating is primarily outdoors, so it's a weather-dependent spot, but when the sun's out, it's lovely. The space is cute, cozy, and perfect for catching up with friends or hosting a small gathering. Just note, it's not large enough for big groups. Food & Tea: The afternoon tea setup is the way to go with their scones, tea sandwiches, and desserts. While not mind-blowing, everything was still really good and thoughtfully prepared. Favorites: -Egg Sandwich - Simple, fresh, and flavorful. -Apricot Scone - Fruity and lightly sweet. - Rosemary Scone - Unique and fragrant, with just the right balance of savory and sweet. The teas: Delicious we sampled a variety of their black teas and enjoyed every single one. Why Go: A great spot for small, intimate outings or a catch-up session over tea. The setting is quaint, the service friendly, and the tea selections worth coming back for. Parking: Lot/Meter Overall: Sugarbird Café is a great choice for an afternoon tea experience. The scones and tea are the stars, and the outdoor seating makes the experience more relaxed. read more

Another wonderful visit at Surgarbird! We loved everything so much we had to come back. We were craving those lemon blueberry scones! Try their spreads to go along with it! My feta cheese fave was a take home and yes honey mustard makes all the flavors meld together so perfectly. Thank you sweet KayDee for that recommendation. I can't eat it without honey mustard now lol. Sophia is a wonderful host full of sunshine to brighten your day. Personable and accommodating for your every need. I feel so special and spoiled when I take a trip out here. I also tried the veggie quiche and americano this time around. She knows how to make a fantastic cup of espresso! The quality is there and water to bean ratio was spot on. The quiche had a flaky pastry type of crust with a nice mixture of egg n veg all warmed up so daintily presented. Definitely worth your time to stop in and enjoy this gem. Packaged tea and brunch boxes are great for those, "what should I bring?" moments. Small to large options all packaged in a perfect pink gift box. Not looking for food items? they've got ya covered. Candles, loose leaf teas, earrings and necklaces, tea cup/pots, tumblers, aprons and tote bags. A one stop shop with great gift ideas. Owner Kei is one of those rare finds. Humble yet mighty in her talents with recipes and creations that bring people together and make your heart smile. The harmonious ambiance created here is heart and soul displayed for everyone to partake in. You'll find a new appreciation for all the work that goes behind it. There's many hidden gems with amazing people. We just need to take a step through their doors to uncover these treasures and find more people like Kei in the world. Beautiful souls just waiting to be found. read more

Came here for a date with my partner. It was cold so even though we made a reservation for outside, they were able to offer us a table inside :) The tables inside are a little small due to the limited space so it took some careful arrangement of our drinks and food but it worked out in the end haha. My "Marcos" tea was great - it was an herbal rooibos tea with flavors of pumpkin and ginger. I ended up buying a pack of it in loose leaf tea form so I could enjoy it at home too. I would definitely recommend that one. The savory portion was delicious. I really enjoyed the little tea sandwiches. The sweet one with strawberry cream and fruits wasn't really my thing, but that's more of a personal preference. The cucumber sandwich was so good and the cucumbers were perfectly thinly sliced. The savory tea sandwiches were so good that I would eat any of those as a full sandwich :) I am a big fan of going to afternoon tea places, but usually my excitement ends when I get to the dessert portion. Usually the savory items are good, but then the desserts are lacking and don't taste great. This place, however, had absolutely wonderful desserts! I was very happy with the delicious scones and desserts. For the scones, I got the Ube Coconut and Lemon Blueberry and both were so good. I tried my partner's scone - the Matcha White Chocolate - and that was delicious too. I really loved the matcha drizzle on top. At the very top, there were a few more desserts- a matcha merengue, ube and matcha shortbread, a small piece of matcha brownie, and a chocolate brownie. The brownies were a little too rich for me but the tea helped balance them out. I enjoyed the shortbreads and the matcha merengue. At the end, we made sure to order some scones to-go since we don't live super close by. I made sure to give my compliments to the owner - especially about how I loved the desserts - because I was very happy with the afternoon tea overall! She was very nice and also offered our leftover tea to go which was appreciated. This is definitely a place I would come back to for afternoon tea again. I'd love to come back and enjoy a nice day having tea in their outside seating! Or even a nice cheese plate which I saw they also offer. Great spot! Check it out with friends or for a cute date! :) read more

I have now visited Sugarbird Cafe two times. Both times the service, environment, tea, sconces, & sandwiches were excellent. The first visit was in Dec 29/10-AM-ish. The second visit was on Feb 09/1-PM-ish. We did their Afternoon Tea Service w/Tea sandwiches for both times. ($55/person) I booked the reservations for outdoor seating via Open Table. I've never experience anything like this, I love tea, always dreamed of having tea time with girlfriends/sister/cousins. I came upon this through a friend's Instagram post and just had to check it out. Not disappointed! I'm definitely coming back. The girlies who true it with said the same. It's a nice and serene set up. Umbrellas for shade. Their team and owner are so nice and always checking to see that everything is going well. They explain to you their menu and choices. So don't be afraid to tell them that it's your first time! All the teas we've tried, we love. Sconces are so yummy!! The tea sandwiches are also delicious! everything is all tasty. Some items are seasonal or they run out of. So I would keep that in mind. One restroom, very clean. Parking is on the street. I always find one next to them in the small lot next to their cafe on Verdugo, but you would enter through Ocean View Blvd. read more

Sitting down with friends for an elaborate tea service is one of my all time favorite indulgences. How fortunate that I've now experienced the wonderful tea service here twice. The weather was wildly different on the two occasions I've been here. My first visit happened to be on one of the hottest days of the Summer. Our reservation was for the outside tea service. Umbrellas provided shade. Because it was so hot, Sugarbird gave us the option of hot or iced tea, and we all chose iced. When it came time to place my tea order, I chose Marais, which is an English Breakfast tea. I chose English Breakfast Tea because, evidently, I have absolutely no sense of adventure. I mean, here's a menu of twelve different teas to choose from, including four Black Teas. And I choose English Breakfast Tea. The exact same kind of tea I drink every morning. How imaginative! It was beyond ridiculous. But the staff at Sugarbird is so chill they didn't let on how weak my choice was. Not in the least. Remarkable because I know if I was taking the order I'd be trying desperately not to roll my eyes. But the staff here are totally professional, they're all smiley and like, yeah whatever Mikey, you do you. The tea service automatically includes four fantastic little tea sandwiches as wells as tiny cakes, meringues, brownies and candied fruit. The carefully curated assortment is as delicious as it is varied. There are no weak items. In truth there are so many different treats one can not possibly hope to eat them all in one setting. If you come for tea here, and you certainly should, plan to take a box of goodies home with you. Tea service attendees get a choice of Scones. You can choose between one large or two small scones. There are twenty-two different varieties of scones, some sweet, some savory. Looking for Vegan, or Wheat Free, or Vegan Wheat Free selections? Sugarbird Cafe has you covered. The Scone menu is loaded with an amazing variety of savory scones. Black Sesame/White Chocolate. Fig Rosemary. Seasonal Apricot Ginger. Passion Fruit Coconut. Feta Chive. Orange Cardamom. All of these scream Eat Me! At least I went a little out of my comfort zone on my scone order. Typically I would order two sweet scones. But the savory offerings were so tempting I had to give one of them a try. I decided on Fig Rosemary for one of my selections. For my second choice I switched right back into my Mr Play It Safe persona and chose a Lemon Blueberry. With all those exotic sweet combinations, I go and order Lemon Blueberry. Now believe me, that Lemon Blueberry scone was fantastic. Along with the Fig Rosemary, it was among the best scones I've ever had. For real. But later that day, as I drove home from the event I kept thinking about my order, going over the menu in my mind. I'm all I shoulda tried the Apricot Ginger. Or the Hibiscus Raspberry. What was I thinking with Lemon Blueberry? I had the chance to try Passion Fruit Coconut! I mean, where else on the Mainland am I going to get a chance to try a Passion Fruit Coconut scone? Nowhere, that's where. But I could've tried one at Sugarbird Cafe. And I order Lemon Blueberry. SMDH So, all this was on my mind when I came back to Sugarbird Cafe for another tea service. My second tea service experience turned out to be on an unexpectedly cold day. We had booked far in advance and reserved an outside table. The cold weather caught us by surprise. Sugarbird graciously allowed us to move our party inside. I was determined to try something other than English Breakfast Tea this time. I decided to try the Marco tea, and I'm so glad I did. I liked that tea so much I bought a package to take home. Although I loved the ice tea we were served the first time I visited Sugarbird Cafe, I loved the hot tea even more. It just seemed to me like everything tasted better with the hot tea. For my scone choices I decided to stick with the one sweet, one savory approach that I employed on my first visit. This time I picked a Strawberry Buttermilk and a Feta Chive. I enjoyed the Feta Chive on the spot and took the Strawberry Buttermilk home. My take home box had the Strawberry Buttermilk scone and six other goodies from the treat tower of power that held all our individual servings. I love how they construct the tower of treats for the tea service. Each person's selections are presented directly in front of them. I also love how the little tea sandwiches here are made on Japanese milk bread. They're all good, but my favorite is the cucumber. I highly recommend the tea service at Sugarbird Cafe. It's crazy fun! The service and food are fabulous! Mikey C says: Sugarbird Cafe, 5 Stars! read more

Sugarbird, yes, please, come on have a scone with me! (Spin on an old Maroon 5 song thx to Leilani M. for adding the cool line! It's a catchy tune!) This tea Cafe is so adorable and lovely. A few indoor tables, counter full of delightful pastries and shelves with tea pots, cups, and of course tea. We had a reservation and our table was beautifully set from the napkins, utensils, tea pots, cups, and tiers of half sandwiches and treats. The cream cheese with thinly sliced cucumbers were delightful as well as the other sandwiches including turkey with cranberry. Treats were great including scones, macarons cookies, brownie bites and others. Had to take a box home. Happy for decaffeinated options! They brought us teapots of different flavors to try. The peach one was refreshing. Service was top notch. 5 stars! read more

Small but cute, cozy cafe with a friendly owner. On a mid Sunday afternoon they were almost sold out. My friends rave about this place and it's true, the scones are perfectly crumbly yet moist. Matcha White Chocolate scone - didn't taste the chocolate and I'm not a fan of matcha but this was great. Fairly priced at $4.75. Lemon and Blueberry gluten free scone - Also delicious. They sell pretty pressed flower jewelry and tea sets. I am definitely interested in their outdoor afternoon tea! read more

This was my third visit to this cute Cafe, but my first time having the full tea service. The decor, lovely teapots and cups are cute and have the vintage look and appeal, it gives the customer a wonderful experience. I can only think of a few places with a true "high tea" service. I came to enjoy an afternoon away from the usual busy routine. I didn't have to "think" of what to choose because they paired the foods perfectly. Tea sandwiches can also be bought in pre-made boxes of: cucumber & cream cheese, fig with Brie cheese, turkey with cranberry and fruit filling with Chantilly cream. At first glance, you may think that mini tea sandwiches would not be filling, but I could not finish all my treats and boxed my remaining snacks to take home. I am not a big caffeine drinker and appreciate the herbal and non-caffeine options. The food is baked and prepared daily on the premises. There is a good selection of scones, jam & clotted cheese, baked mini quiche, muffins, Meringue puffs, and brownie bites. You can shop for gifts from their collection. They will also creative gift baskets/boxes and take care of the shipping for you. Reservations highly recommended, although walk-ins are welcomed. Don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary and Te-see sent ya!!! Note: There is limited indoor seating and outdoor under umbrella patio tables. read more

Six lovely ladies and a handsome gentleman gathered together on a Saturday afternoon for a spot of tea. The location, Sugarbird, a charming little café nestled between Glendale & Montrose. High Tea is their focus and scones are their specialty, but coffee beverages & lattes are also available. Owner Kei makes all the scones & baked goods and tea sandwiches are made to order. The place is cozy with only a few tables inside and a quaint seating area outside. The staff are delightful, especially Sophia & Heather. They both provided excellent service during our visit. Our table set up was lovely and the vintage tea sets were very pretty. We opted for the Signature Afternoon Tea ($56 with gratuity). It comes with your choice of tea, two mini scones (or one large) with clotted cream & jam, four artisanal milk bread tea sandwiches, and an assortment of mini sweets: Mini fruit tarts, Meringue Swirls, Shortbread cookies, and Matcha & Chocolate brownie bites. My tea selection was Marcos - an herbal tea with notes of rooibos, pumpkin, & ginger. It was delightful! I chose the Chocolate Chip and Lemon Blueberry scones. Kei spent hours of R&D into creating the perfect scone and I have to say these were the most delicious scones I've had. The Tea Sandwiches consisted off: Thanksgiving Turkey Cheese, Spiced Mascarpone Cream with Pomegranate & Mandarin Oranges, Cucumber & Herbed Cream Cheese, and Mission Fig, Brie & Arugula. Each of us also got a mini wheat free quiche. The sandwiches were exceptionally good. I really enjoyed the flavor combinations and liked the softness of the milk bread. My favorites were the Spiced Mascarpone Cream with Pomegranate & Mandarin Oranges and the Mission Fig, Brie & Arugula. The mini sweets were also scrumptious, especially the mini fruit tart. I could have eaten a whole plateful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The price was reasonable, the quality of the food & tea was excellent, and the service was fantastic! I highly recommend this place for tea service or stop in for a beverage and a tasty treat and, perhaps, even pick up some gifts too. *Reservations recommended for Tea Service. *Custom gift boxes available. *Wheat free & Vegan scones available. read more

This place is a gem! And what a treat to be able to enjoy a splendid tea with amazing people! I haven't been to tea since I was pregnant with my youngest, so it's been quite a while! I definitely don't want to wait that long again! The place is quaint and oh so cute! There's more seating options available outside, but the day was chilly so accommodations were made for us to be seated inside with our party. We selected several options for tea. I opted for the Marcos Herbal Tea, rooibos, pumpkin and ginger--also caffeine free. It sounded perfect for the season and it did not disappoint--absolutely delicious! The food is exquisite! We got to each enjoy 4 sandwiches: Cucumber cream cheese, sliced Chantilly fruit, turkey cranberry cheese, fig, Brie and arugula. All made on Japanese milk bread which is amazing! For scones, I opted for the lemon blueberry and the orange cardamom. Both were incredible! I can see why people visit here to stock up on scones as well! We also got to enjoy a small quiche and pastries and cookies. I was so full! I had to get a box to take some items home! Service is exceptional! I would definitely come back here again! Thank you, Sugarbird. And thank you friends, for such a wonderful tea time! read more

A group of nine of us went here from our book club to try out their afternoon tea. We are huge fans of afternoon tea events and we all ended up very impressed! The service, the food, and the tea were all amazing! The staff here was on top of everything and very friendly. The food was delicious from the sandwiches to all the sweets. We had four types of tea and they were all flavorful and delicious. The scones were amazing too! I am usually not the biggest fan of scones because they are often dry. Not here. They were just perfect and full of flavor. I was really kicking myself the next day for not taking some to go. Yes, they sell mini and giant scones here and they are a hit. The location was very small so there was one two seater table inside and the rest of the tea service was outside. It ended up being windy when we went so it was chilly and there were a few scares of the umbrellas trying to make a break for it. The umbrellas ended up being put away, but they even provided blankets if needed. This was one of our favorite tea experiences overall. I heard that they might be moving to a bigger location soon. read more

I've been here a few times and like to frequent it for scones. It is the perfect treat to take with you to friend or family member. My favorite flavors are cardamom and fig rosemary scone.

Tea party in Glendale, California... Our first two tea spots weren't available on 9/5/24, so I consulted my friend, Te-See... Of course, she found the perfect place for the four of us to meet: Sugarbird Cafe... We appreciated the free parking, convenient restroom, and excellent service! Sophia was our competent, friendly, knowledgeable server. She gave excellent suggestions and knew the menu inside and out! We had a beautifully set table under the trees right in front of the shop. I arrived early and set my sights on the pink teacup and saucer. The other place settings had a rose pattern and a butterfly motif. There was a bordered fabric runner across the table, floral paper napkins, two vases of freshly-cut flowers, and a turquoise-colored sugar bowl! The $56 for the tea experience, 18 percent tip, and tax covered three tiers of scones, mini-quiches, tarts, cookies, brownies, candied fruit, fresh fruit, edible flowers, and delectable sandwiches. The crusts of the tarts were flakey and buttery; the scones were moist and delicious; and the fillings of the sandwiches were high-quality goodness! We were all too full to finish, so we were each given a box for leftovers as well as takeout cups of the tea that we weren't able to consume. Note: because of the unusual 106°F weather, we had iced tea instead of hot tea. Our first round was a black tea called Koa. It had notes of rose, lemongrass, mango, and apricot. Our second round was an herbal tea named Fiona. It had essence of açai, vanilla, hibiscus, and raspberry! read more

Sugarbird Cafe shares the same parking lot with Schreiner's Fine Sausages. Parking can be a challenge since the lot is shared with a handful of businesses. My husband and I stopped by this bakery on a Saturday afternoon, around 3 pm. I ended up purchasing the following to go: Vegan Hibiscus Raspberry, $4.50- This was the first scone I had tried. I thought the flavors were pretty good and not too sweet. The scone was baked perfectly. Double Chocolate Almond, $4.50- Love the chocolate and almond combination. Strawberry Buttermilk, $4.50- This scone was also good but thought it was a little sweeter then the other 2. Black Sesame White Chocolate, $4.50- Of the 4 that I bought, this was my least favorite. I really was hoping this would turn out to be great because I just love black sesame but I thought it was too sweet. ------------------------------------ (Total= $18) Service could have been friendlier. I was greeted when I came in but I felt like I was being a bother to the employee behind the counter when I walked in (there was no one in line when I walked in) and tried to order. But I really enjoyed the scores that I had for the most part, and was surprised that they were still moist even 2 days after purchasing. I like that Sugarbird Cafe has outdoor seating and would consider coming back here with my dog so we can do afternoon tea. read more

I had such a great experience at Sugarbird Cafe. This place is the most adorable cafe with great service and great food! Decor is what I would call "Rustic Chic". They have tea service on fine china and the food on wooden tiered trays. Most tables are outside (only 1 table for 4 inside), and is located by the street on a dirt patch, so be mindful of the shoes you wear here. Please know also that there is a 2 hour time limit on the table. I was able to book our reservations on Open Table. My BFF and I arrived and were helped by the nicest lady. I didn't get her name but she offered us blankets as it was a bit chilly outside. She also provided a basket for us to put our purses into. We ordered the tea set for two which includes 2 pots of tea, 4 mini scones, and a selection of sweets including shortbread cookies and merengues. We opted to add on the sandwiches as well for an additional $22 for 8 slices (2 of each 4 flavors). I love the scones! They are crumbly yet moist, and most of all I love the flavors that are offered! They have such unique flavors like Black Sesame White Chocolate and even savory ones like Fig Rosemary. I feel like some of the flavors are Hawaiian inspired like the Ube coconut, Passionfruit, and Guava. They even have wheat free and vegan scones. Talk about catering to a wide audience. I could even take my wheat allergic kid here! Sandwiches were amazing also and can be made on gluten free bread by request. They had a couple of the traditional ones (egg salad and cucumber cheese), but they had a seasonal flavor (pumpkin), and a turkey. I loved them all. The tea they offer is also delicious and refreshing. Inside the shop is merchandise you can purchase (cards, chocolate, cookies, etc.). Sugarbird also offers catering if you want to host an event. Of course I had to purchase more scones to share with my family (and so I could try the other flavors). I will definitely be back to enjoy tea here again! Thanks Sugarbird for a wonderful girls day! read more

First off, I don't know why these are called scones because they are not dry like regular scones. These are so moist and flavorful. The flavors that they have compliment each other so well. Just to give you an idea, I bought these on Sunday, and I still warmed them up and ate them on Tuesday, and after you put them in the microwave, they're so soft and moist. read more

GREAT PLACE TO GO FOR AFTERNOON TEA ==================================== My friend and Yelper Hana O. invited my friend Rose Linda and I for an afternoon tea a couple of weeks ago. It was on the weekend around 3:00 p.m. and you can reserve on Open Table or Google. Hana treated us to the afternoon tea which is $25 and includes the tea, two small scones or one regular size scone along with other baked goods. Hana and I had the chamomile tea which was delicious and Rose Linda had the roobios. Check out Hana O.'s photo of the two tiered plate with the baked goods. Loved the beautifully set table outside.

Sugarbird Cafe offers a tranquil place to sit and enjoy the sunshine with a scone and a tasty drink. I came here with a friend on a Friday afternoon. The place offers some outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. I noticed they have a table they reserve for special events- it looked like you can set up a tea date where they bring you teas, tea sandwiches and your table is set up so cute. Parking is easy to find as this business shares a parking lot with a couple other businesses. Restrooms are available for customers as well. The service was OK- nothing special, pretty "blah" attitude from the staff. Wish they offered more coffee options, but overall a cool selection of teas and scones. read more

I did afternoon tea with 2 of my girls and we were all very happy with the whole experience. Mind you, this was our lunch and we came out with leftovers. They did have a reasonable price for their afternoon tea set compared to others in the LA area. We were indoors and felt that the ambiance was cute and relaxed. We definitely got some good pictures We were the only party there so they accomodated us so well and felt like queens. The standouts were the scones! They have a good variety of flavors but the crowd favorite was the matcha. My friend told us to make sure to get this one because its just that good. I'm glad that there was jam and clotted cream to pair with the scones. Sandwiches were both savory and fruity with this blueberry cream. We had pretty much unlimited refills of tea, which I enjoyed and took advantage of. There is plenty of parking with a parking lot right in front of the place. I highly recommend this place for afternoon tea but make sure to call in advance. We had to call a week ahead to reserve. read more

My Bookclub, The Finer Things Club, went there on 11/4/24 with a group of 9. This group had dietary restrictions for GF and vegetarian. Sugarbird did not disappoint. The care they had for both sets of menus was excellent. Normally places say they can accommodate and then fail to delivery when they should have just said they can't do it. The setting was quite picturesque as well. Only downside is that it is outside. Not a real issue and they did warn us. We just unfortunately had a windy day. The tea was excellent. I really enjoyed Marco & Karina. And their scones! Soo good. Despite being a drive for us since we are based in the OC we are definitely going to come back. read more

Customer service was below acceptable, I ordered a surprise box from Too Good to Go app and the worker didn't bother to explain the 4 flavored scones that I got. Even if she explained it to me, it wouldn't have mattered. All 4 scones tasted the same, like nothing. They were a batter mix consisting of just flour and water. I love scones and have a sweet tooth and there was nothing sweet about these scones. The only positive aspect was the looks of the scones.

My daughter loves going to afternoon tea and since her birthday was Sunday, she wanted to have afternoon tea. I saw the great reviews for Sugar Bird, so I made a reservation. I'm so glad I did because the scones, quiche, tea sandwiches, and desserts were all delicious! Everything is homemade and I love that they have many scones to choose from. They also have them in mini and regular sizes. I had the Earl Grey and Feta with Chives, so good! My birthday girl had the Strawberry Buttermilk and Chocolate Chip scone and she loved the chocolate chip. Since it was her birthday, the owner said she could take a regular size scone home which was nice, so she picked out the chocolate chip. My oldest daughter also came and she had the Lemon Blueberry and Strawberry Buttermilk as well. She loved both, but enjoyed the Lemon Blueberry more. The tea sandwiches that came on the serving stand were egg salad; turkey with cheese, pesto, and arugula; Chantilly cream & fruit; and cucumber with cream cheese. We enjoyed them all. The desserts were brownies, matcha brownies (I think), meringue puffs, cookies, raspberry tarts, and fruit. We loved everything on that stand! Now for teas, I had Earl Grey, my birthday girl had the KOA black tea (mango, rose, lemongrass, & apricot) and my other daughter wanted the Fiona herbal tea, but they had ran out so she had the Willow herbal tea (rooibos, lavender, & berry notes). She preferred the KOA tea since the Willow tasted like cinnamon. I tried them all and loved the Earl Grey and KOA. The only suggestion I have is that they should have more teas to choose from. They only have four black teas, four herbal teas, and four green teas to choose from. They also have lattes if you would like to upgrade. There's a small area outside where it find around three tables and there's room inside for about one table. It was nice sitting outside and the owner/hostess offered to take a photo of us which was nice of her. Overall, it was a delightful experience and have to say from all the afternoon tea places I've been to, the food here is amazing because it's all homemade. This cafe is small but charming and I recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable tea time! read more

This was such a lovely experience. It doesn't have an actual tea room. Instead there are tables set up outside the store front. The only bummer was when a loud motorcycle or car drove by. There were two tables inside and I wish we were offered those but apparently no one was sat there. The teas were delicious beyond belief and we enjoyed every single sandwich with the exception the fruit sandwich. The scones and treats were amazing except being seated outdoors came with flies being attracted to our table, which was another reason I wish we got offered the indoor tables. The service was great and the employees were kind and sweet! I want to try again when we can sit inside or maybe when less bugs are out. Definitely worth returning to though maybe in the fall. read more

I drive by often and always wonder what this cute place is all about especially since it's so close to another delicious bakery I frequent all the time. I decided to order their 12 mini chefs pick of assorted scones and what a surprise. They are super cute , fun looking and delicious. I loved the jalapeño cheddar one , has a nice kick but not too jalapeño intense. The packaging is super cute , I think it's a great brunch idea gift . I will definitely have some tea at the restaurant though , love the outdoor cottage set up . read more

My husband and I were craving scones the other day, so we decided to try Sugarbird because of their good reviews. The location is really cute and well-decorated, and the scones were delicious! We tried the Feta Chive, Fig Rosemary, Jalapeño Cheddar, and Lemon Blueberry. The flavors and consistency were spot on. My husband also really enjoyed their coffee. We'll definitely be back again! read more

My friend and I came here to grab some tea and snacks. They were out of sandwiches that day (sad) but the scones and tea were still out of this world!!! You can tell this is a family-owned business and they put a lot of care and effort into making their patrons feel comfortable and pampered. I LOVE the amount of tea you get for $27. Both my friend and I struggled to finish it. They also have alternative milks for your tea! Most traditional tea shops don't carry matcha, black sesame, or ube scones. Here they do!!! At one point, we had to deal with a bee. Immediately, the owner came out and places a fan to help deter any flying pests. :) Although it was hot, the breeze and cold tea was so refreshing. We spent literally 1.5 hours here chatting and catching up. SUPPORT SUGARBIRD TEA!!!! You won't regret it. read more

Sugarbird Cafe - Outdoor seating - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale, California

Wow didn't realize it's a pretty small shop but super cute inside!!! Got the matcha rose and a couple scones. The matcha rose (you can get either hot or cold) is very fragrant with actual rose petals - love it! I tried three different scones - black sesame white chocolate, passion fruit (one of the premium ones), and ube coconut. I think I like the passion fruit one the best - it's really dense but not overly sweet and just leaving you wanting more! I personally don't like pastries that are overly sweet and I think those are perfect with tea! There is one small table inside that sits probably 4-5 but you probably have to reserve in advance. There are a couple outdoor seats that are pretty nice but we went on a somewhat rainy day so those were wet. They also sell small items like honey and tea leaves! Check it out while you are there! There are a few parking spots right outside but street parking behind the cafe is also available. read more

Absolutely Delicious Scones. If you are planning an at-home afternoon tea to bring a little British Touch to you, I highly recommend indulging in their scones. I had the earl grey which was delicious and next time I visit, I hope to try the fig rosemary! I do see that their selection rotates so that means I'll have to come during different seasons and see what scones are on the menu! They do have a table inside in case you want some respite from the heat of summer and if you are a brave soul, there are some tables just outside of the cafe under some shade. The cafe also includes a store with a very charming selection of tea related items and British goods. I definitely recommend stopping here for any anglophile or afternoon tea lover! Thank you for the lovely scone Sugarbird Cafe!! i can't wait to try more of the unique selections you have. read more

Sugarbird Cafe - Scones! - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale, California

We weren't able to pick our food options, only the type of tea if you were there for afternoon tea service. Every other place I've been to allows you to pick which type of sandwiches you want at least. For seating, you're left out by the curb and slightly away from the restaurant, so it can be hard to flag a server down if you need something. And even though there weren't any waiting customers or other reservations I felt like we were rushed out of there by the wait staff. Not really the experience I was expecting for what we paid. read more

I went here for my first date with my girlfriend and my anniversary and the setting and experience is so cute and cozy. They give you blankets and water. It comes with a whole set of finger foods and each person gets a pot of tea with a certain service. The workers are so sweet and get you anything you need. Even when there was problems with my reservation last year, they adjusted accordingly and set up a new table for my girlfriend and I. Overall so cute and fun. read more

Elevate your teatime into an unforgettable experience with Sugarbird! Sugarbird is a cute little bakery that offers artisanal scones and premium teas with exceptional flavor profiles. Perfect for sharing and making gatherings memorable, their scones and teas are absolutely delicious and will put a smile on any teatime lover's face. Sugarbird is minority and women owned! The owner was very sweet and extremely patient as she answered all of my questions regarding the different teas and baked goods. She told me the shop's history, and how she sold her treats for a decade at the local farmers market before finally deciding to open her own storefront. I also learned about the shop's philosophy on building community connection through teatime, an ideal I can definitely get behind. Sugarbird sells a variety of scones with unique flavors you won't find elsewhere, like ube coconut, matcha white chocolate, strawberry buttermilk, and more. In addition to scones, they also have shortbread cookies, teas, and other cute knick knacks and gift ideas. As I perused the cute little shop, the attention to detail in each and every item and display was clear, and I could tell alot of thought and love went into opening this store. So from their meaningful philosophy to the delicious baked goods and teas, Sugarbird is definitely worth checking out! read more
