For the frustrated who complain [me included] about finding a "cool" cafe on the outer Cape, this is THE place you've been searching for... Relaxed atmosphere (though is can get crowded at peak hours as it's not too spacious). Freshly prepared and innovative food and bakery, well-made coffee and other drinks. Plenty of parking right in front. I always leave happy. read more

Hands down, best place around for food and coffee. Everything is fresh, organic and well organized. Nice stuff, great selection of food items read more

Thank you Jaime and Staff for such an awesome rehearsal dinner for my son, Justin and Jessica. From Cocktails to dessert, everything was wonderful. From Farm to Table........All the horsdeuvres were presented beautifully. The meal was fresh and delicious. All 44 guests raved about the meal and your Staff and how friendly they were. You wanted everything perfect and it was. Thank you again....we highly recommend this Venue for intimate parties. read more

Let's start by presenting my bias- I want to live here. It seems like the place you can bring a book and stay for hours. *hard to find, in a shopping center with Orleans Yoga. Atmosphere- welcoming hipster vibe. It's a large store with ample seating. The staff are friendly, outgoing, and full of suggestions. Eats- the iced coffee is cold-brewed and I cut mine with half decaf iced coffee, which they don't always have. The coffee has a nice dark flavor with slight sweetness and citrus undertones. A little almond milk, and it's perfect. Agave and other milks are available. There are delicious and creative-sounding sweet and savory treats with an emphasis on vegetarian and gluten-free. The pistachio cookie sandwich filled with chocolate ganache (lemon filling also offered) is the size of an ice cream sandwich. It's not overly sweet but decedent and rich. read more

Amazing!!!! This is my second visit and I have been delighted both times. Last year I had the Bird Breakfast Sandwich. Today I had the Quinoa Porridge, which had so much flavor! I wasn't sure about the pickled cranberries, but they were tasty and added a bit of spark to the mix. And the coffee is delicious too. The staff are friendly and helpful and the cafe is clean and has a eclectic atmosphere. I'll come back whenever I am in the area! read more

We loved this place. It was super busy so seating was tough but we managed but the food was awesome. We ordered the grilled cheese with an egg for breakfast for my son. The bread was awesome!! We devoured it We also ordered the breakfast sandwich for the 4 of us. It was so good. The egg was how I like it, a bit runny and the flavors from the dressings on it were delicious. We got the Mexican chocolate donut which was moist, chocolate but had a dab of spicy pepper on it. We also got a warmed chocolate cookie which was delicious!!! The coffee was excellent and I loved how they offer me almond, soy or regular milk for my latte. Not many places do this so I was excited to have an option. Lines were long but food came out fairly fast and service was good. We definitely will be back. Cool Vibe here! read more

My new favorite place at the cape! Stopped here after reading several reviews on Yelp. My friends and I enjoyed the easy going atmosphere, and the patience of the staff, as we attempted to order before having any coffee!! Their food was artfully prepared and delicious. I felt a little left out getting frittata, while all of my friends enjoyed the breakfast sandwich. I almost went and got one but knew I would be to full to finish. I plan on getting that next time. A couple of us also shared some fresh scones :) coconut lime and lavender honey were the two featured that morning. Both excellent. I can't decide which one I liked better. The one flaw I'd like to point out is the entrance is a little hard to find. The large sign is a giant O shaped birds nest, with a smaller "sunbird" sign underneath. It was a little hard to find while driving by, however it is definitely worth the search. If you're in town it is definitely a place to check out! read more

Really cute place for a quick, casual breakfast. We ordered the Mexican chocolate donut and the breakfast sammie. Donut is AMAZING!

I was visiting family, who had rented a place in Orleans over the holiday, and we were fortunate enough to have discovered the sunbird. The food was perfectly dialed, the menu was imaginative yet rounded enough for the adults and kids to be happy, and the staff were friendly and gracious. I've spent a week trying to recall any part of the experience that wasn't perfect and the only thing I can think of is that it's not closer to where I currently live. Nice work guys, you are a real gift to the area. I'm going to push to rent in town next year just so I can be a regular again for the week. *Try the Utah, get me two, with fried cheese and pickles with a stumptown nitro on tap. Cheers! read more

Excellent food and awesome ambience with nice people to help one with a fun and delicious experience

Every time we come to the Cape we find a new favorite and this one is a gem! There is nothing better than a small menu when everything is perfection! The heirloom tomato salad was DELICIOUS. My husband got the burger and it did not fail. Friendly service, cozy retro vibe. We loved it and we will be back for every cape trip! Oh PS. The cocktails are fantastic:) read more

1st time on the Cape. Everything on the menu look appetizing. People were nice and friendly. Food was great. I hate trying to tell you what you should try, it all depends on your pallet and what you have a hunger for. I will say what ever you choose you want be disappointed. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon with friends. The food here was fantastic! Super fresh and made with love. The pork sandwich and the leafy green salad were superb. Most of our dishes had mint in them and it was a neat suprise. I will definitely be returning! read more

Best breakfast sandwich you'll ever have! The bread, bacon, aioli, lemon zest... it's all so good. Coffees are amazing too - I highly recommend the iced mocha. You won't be disappointed! read more

Great place for lunch. Love that they use paper containers and they are recyclable. We had the chicken sandwich and it was messy to eat but loved it. great parking and great curbside pick up read more

They are making the best with what they can during COVID. I am happy to support them. The iced London Fog is among the best I have had - usually a little heavy on the milk so I ask for just a little. Also the salted chocolate cookies are to die for! read more

I stop in here every year when we are on the Cape DO not miss the porridge!! The flavors are so wild together that I've been unable to recreate this at home. We also loved the Mexican chocolate cinnamon donuts this year. read more

So, I have been to Sunbird twice this week, and I am embarrassed and sad that I haven't been coming here since it opened. Ate in earlier this week... Staff: amazing and cool. Really nice people. Food: soup last week was crazy good. Apple and rutabaga puree. Usually not something that appeals to me but something told me to get it. I have been dreaming about it ever since. Best and most interesting soup I have had in decades. Such cool and tasty garnishes that all just worked... Griddled cheese sandwich... I mean, who doesn't love one of those, but Sunbird's sandwich is beyond the pale. I haven't tasted anything so delicious in a long time. Smoked mozzarella that almost tasted like there was bacon in the sandwich. Crazy good. Side of bacon on greens. Best bacon EVER. greens perfectly dressed with amazing vinaigrette . Take out today.... Again, got the soup (vegan mushroom) blew my socks off. Also got the pork sandwich that was epic... oh, and another bacon and greens side because... there can never be enough pork in my life. I bless my friend who turned me on to Sunbird. Keep it up, can't wait to have many more delightful food here... read more

Good stuff and damn refreshing if you're not interested in the fried seafood scene on the outer Cape. Very convenient location, great bites, and a nice selection of libations. The coffee is excellent to boot. read more

Very hippie like atmosphere which is refreshing. Lots of unusual breakfast combinations. Especially nice for vegans. Coffees were delicious. Plenty of parking. Service was exceptional. read more

I have had great coffee here and it's a nice place to take a break with friends. I'm not a vegetarian so their offerings are almost too healthy for me. But the chef really impressed me when I was at a party she catered! They cooked bacon so perfectly! read more

The ONLY reason why it got 4 stars was just not enough seating. Other than that the food is fantastic, the staff are super nice, and their bloody Mary's on sundays are really yummy! We live locally and last weekend was the first time going for their brunch, and we will definitely be back! read more

Small menu - but delicious. The kimchi grilled cheese was outstanding. Smoked mozzarella cheese and kimchi made an outstanding lunch. The seating/eating area is unconventional - some 4-top tables, a row round table, a large high top table and a row of counter seats along the window. The menu and clientele are hipster - an interesting contrast with almost everything else in Orleans. We were there at a busy time and it took a long time for our sandwiches. The staff is friendly. read more

Hands down, my favorite place to have lunch, grab a coffee, glass of vino or beer. They also have a great Bloody Mary!... I have yet to have dinner but we will, soon! Get the pickled vegetables- they are so good! read more

I don't often write reviews. But the food here was so delicious, I had to. The yogurt parfait with peaches was amazing and the Bird Sandwich was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Tea was great, and husband raved about the coffee and buttered toast (and he doesn't even usually eat breakfast). Go. You won't regret it. read more

Sunbird has been a top breakfast and lunch destination for daytime chill and insanely good food. With the 2017 season, this Orleans gem opened for dinner and it transforms from s cool cafe to a lively eatery with an energetic California vibe. It's a perfect spot for dinner for two or a party loving crowd of twenty to sit at the banquet size table in the rear. The menu has the recognized daytime locally sourced sensibility with an inspiring menu that will leave you 100% addicted. My friend that I dined with went to the restaurant twice in one day. What can you say? read more

I always get matcha and it's fantastic every time! The Mexican chocolate donut is also delicious, as well as every other thing I've ever tried off the menu. It's always clean and nice but it can be busy and crowded sometimes too. Staff is pleasant and helpful. I never miss the opportunity to stop when I'm passing by! read more

So delicious. My recent stolen moment to have breakfast by myself was so wonderful at Sunbird. Go check it out! read more

I wanted something light and fresh and flavorful! I got it here, at the Sunbird. I ordered the shaved veggie salad and asked to have some seafood added to it. The suggestion of a blackened fish (I can remember the type) was an excellent addition and was exactly what I wanted. The atmosphere is low key and great for small groups or individuals. There's plenty of "individual seating" looking out the window, so you don't feel totally awkward when eating alone. Seems like a "Starbucks" kind of crowd but with fresh chef quality food options without the pretentious chain atmosphere. read more

The food here is great. Don't get me wrong, to have a healthy alternative to your typical egg, bacon, potato breakfast is great. The menu is very small. FRIED EGGS ONLY! I'm a scrambled egg kinda guy and was NOT ALLOWED to have my eggs the way I like them... Today I had the granola and yogurt. The granola was good but there was too much mint. I also had the cold brew ice coffee. I'm kind of a coffee snob and this was mediocre cold brew. Nothing to rave about but don't come here if your dealing typical brown water. $$$ read more

Sunbird is a cozy little restaurant/coffee bar in a strip mall in Orleans. If you're on your way or coming back from the Cape Cod National Seashore, you could do much worse if you need a pit-stop for food. This is definitely a more modern restaurant than I was expecting - especially for where it's located. I stopped in for a light brunch before doing some beach walking on a rainy August day on Cape. There was a good amount of people in the restaurant, but we were able to snag a table after ordering at the bar. I went with a bloody mary and the yogurt & granola. My vegetarian girlfriend was happy to see quinoa on the menu and enjoyed it too! I didn't try the coffee, but I'd be suspicious based on the reviews... I also wouldn't want to wait in line just to order coffee since it can get busy here. Plus, you're in New England, so you should just go to Dunks :) read more

Enjoyed my food, grains and seeds bowl, however people in my party were not happy with fish taco and mozzarella sandwich. Since there is nobody waiting on tables, to be forced to leave a minimum tip of 15%, is unwarranted. read more

A unique cafe that centers on state of the art coffee and contemporary versions of cafe classics like the Sunbird breakfast sandwich which is a BLT on French bread with homemade mayo or thick slices of multigrain toast with homemade seasonal jam. My favorite is the runny egg over salad greens. Fabulous baked goods- get the chocolate chip and seasalt cookie. Once a week they are open at night for Ramen. Only complaint is that it closes at 3:00! read more

Great brunch stop on a busy Cape Saturday. My breakfast sandwich had delicious local bacon, egg and citrus mayonnaise on ciabatta with a few greens. It was perfectly balanced and delicious. My friends quinoa with greens included fresh summer tomatoes which she loved for their perfect flavor. With iced tea, this meal started out afternoon beautifully. We finished with a coriander and citrus zested shortbread which was crisp and buttery. Only reason a 4 is because it is casual. The food is a five! read more

Creative and supremely tasty menu. We were not expecting to find a place like this on the Cape. It's so good that I took a photo of the menu to try to recreate some of the combinations at home. read more

A must stop on the way back from P-town!! Would never have guessed driving through Orleans but this is a hidden gem. Best grilled cheese we've ever had. The grain and seed bowl was filling and an interesting medley of flavors. Would definitely come back if driving through again. read more

Came for a brunch with my mother and was thoroughly impressed. The inside is quirky and charming, very clean, and all the staff were exceedingly friendly. The food is fresh and has a unique spin- everything we tried was amazing & we'll both definitely be back. It was so great seeing a restaurant put such effort into locally sourcing ingredients! Try the bird breakfast sandwich- the citrus aioli alone is delicious. The beet salad was also a stand out. read more

Very creative menu and drinks selection. I came on a Sunday afternoon and the line to order food was super long, and there was a very limited choice of seating. I ordered the fritatta - the flavor was good, but they sprinkled breadcrumbs on top, which kept making me think I was eating eggshells. The marinated onions were also a little thick and overwhelming for me personally. My friends loved their breakfast sandwich though so I'll come back and try that - the bacon looked incredible! read more

The coolest, most chill place, with the best food!! I have to go here at least once a week, I meet friends, it's always a great vibe, and they have amazing coffees, deserts, gluten free options. Always the freshest , most interesting and delicious ingredients in their salads, soups and bread!!! Their quinoa porridge is incredible just to name one thing, I could go on!! read more

This place is my jam! Great vibe and atmosphere, awesome food and service. The quinoa porridge is a must try, so flavorful and filling. My husband enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and a donut. The ricotta and jam toast was also to die for, a must for any bread lover! We stopped here twice and can't wait to come back when we are in Orleans again! read more
