Bluebird Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Andalusia

I live about 30 minutes from the Bluebird Coffee co. There are not a lot of coffee options in the area, and I felt like I wanted a special treat. I placed an order online for 3 drinks and 3 breakfast items. Two of the drinks were identical- a chai frappe with no coffee. I am explicit about the coffee, because I have a medical condition (dysautonomia) that I cannot tolerate coffee. I drive the 30 minutes, went to pick up the order and there was only two drinks made. I got one of three barista's attention and asked about my 3rd drink. All three baristas had very negative attitudes, first questioning if I was really missing a drink. Then, the person who made my order repeatedly stating to the other two baristas that she only had enough to make two drinks. No-one acknowledged that they made a mistake, if they would make my order, or if they had enough of whatever ingredient the barista had to make my order, or even really acknowledge me. I was left standing there wondering what was happening, for quite some time, if I would get my drink or a refund, or if I should just take my food and leave. A different barista started to complain that she didn't know how to make the drink and was walking back and forth behind the counter. She started to make a drink then the original barista who made my order went over to her and said she would make it, and then argued over who would make it. The original barista who made my order started on someone else's order, and was near where I was standing, pouring hot water over ice. After about 3 minutes nd two cups of ice, without looking at me says, sorry about that, and continues what she was doing without ever looking at me or telling me what is happening. I am finally given my third drink. I go home. I take a sip of the frappe once I am home. It was made with coffee and I have to throw it away.

This is the second time they have made this particular drink for me and added coffee when I asked explicitly not to. Mistakes happen. However, coupled with the service and treatment I received today, I'm not sure that I want...

This was my first time here; after hearing wonderful things about this place, and it did not disappoint!!

The inside is much bigger than it appears from the outside. Lots of comfy chairs, loveseat, tables of different sizes, etc to sit and enjoy your coffee and pastries.

I don't personally drink coffee so I can't speak on that, but I can tell you the pastries are AMAZING! My husband and I shared two different ones. We had a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and it had the most blueberries that I've ever seen in a bagel. The other was the Belgian waffles (all the way), where they give you two small waffles with fresh strawberries and blueberries and whipped cream. So yummy! They also have muffins, cinnamon rolls and several other pastries. He got a large black coffee and I had a can of Coke. Our total for all four items was only $14. That's incredible for the quality of food we had!

They also have a small art gallery in the back hallway, featuring local talent. There are some beautiful paintings, drawings, photographs, and other types of art for sale. Other items for sale are "Bluebird Coffee Co." t-shirts, coffee mugs, "Coffee & Jesus" tea towels and such. They also sell jars of honey.

The owners are serving you and are super friendly. Overall, an EXCELLENT...

Listen—I came for caffeine, but I left questioning my loyalty to every dessert I’ve ever met.

Yes, the coffee was great. Smooth, flavorful, expertly made. I sipped it like the refined adult I pretend to be. But let’s talk about the real star of the show: the brownie cheesecake.

This wasn’t just a dessert. This was a full-blown religious experience in a paper wrapper.

One bite in and I blacked out. When I came to, I was halfway through it and whispering “where have you been all my life” like I was in a Nicholas Sparks movie. It’s rich. It’s gooey. It’s like a brownie and a cheesecake fell in love during a Hallmark Christmas special and had a baby sent directly from dessert heaven.

I don’t know what kind of sugar sorcery they’ve got going on back there, but I’m convinced they’ve struck some sort of sacred culinary deal with a higher power. I’d sell state secrets for another slice. I’d cancel plans. I’d fake a family emergency just to go get it again.

Do yourself a favor. Go to Bluebird. Get the brownie cheesecake. And prepare to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about baked goods.

10/10. Would risk my lactose...
