Three Bird Cafe — Restaurant in Eureka Springs

Three Bird Café is a charming, cheerful spot in Eureka Springs that feels like a breath of fresh air — definitely the kind of spot that lifts your spirits the moment you walk in. The space radiates innocence and joy, with rainbow colors, uplifting quotes, and a lighthearted energy that makes it feel like a happy, welcoming retreat. Our waitress was warm and upbeat, adding to the positive experience.

The food was healthy, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The full-sized smoked beet salad was a standout—absolutely delicious and impressively generous. The mandarin ginger dressing I got with it, in particular, was a standout—bright, tangy, and totally crave-worthy. Everything we tried was high quality and thoughtfully prepared. It’s the perfect place when you’re craving something lighter and more nourishing than the typical heavier fare around town, and we appreciated the range of vegan and vegetarian options. Next time we might also try some of the enticing pastries, cookies, cakes and muffins on display as well.

That said, there were a few inconsistencies in portion sizes and pricing. The menu notes that half-sized salads are now available by popular demand, but the one my husband received was more like a quarter-sized portion—closer to a small side salad. Clearer menu descriptions or adjusted sizing would help set better expectations. The biggest disappointment, however, was the $5 chicken add-ons for our salads: while the chicken was tasty, the portion—barely a quarter cup of chopped thighs—felt surprisingly small for the price. It left us feeling a bit shocked and taken advantage of, and we hope this feedback encourages the café to revisit the portioning, pricing, and value of their protein add-ons. Still, we truly enjoyed the overall experience, heartily support this charming cafe and would happily return. With just a few thoughtful adjustments, this café could go from great to...

Our First but not Last visit to the absolute GEM of Eureka Springs!! Chef Jenn and everyone who easily works to make this one’s BEST culinary experiences does not fail. What’s Fresh?! Everything! This countrified okie group voted Hands-down that the homemade Biscuits and Gravy are in fact the best! Thick cut bacon.. real and thick! The sourdough toast tastes like….sourdough! The locally grown and harvested mennonite eggs are the brightest we have ever “feasted” our eyes on! The flavor burst is as happy invoking as it’s color! I enjoyed the sourdough toast on top of a bed of fresh and crisp arugula greens topped with a over medium sunny orange egg and avocado well.. this is why I am having a difficult time expressing the deliciousness of each and every plate delivered to our glorious “home-feel” style table. Cardinals and Blue Jays (their named plates) landed on our table very quickly after ordering. Ultimately, the experience is as if we drove 4 hours to sit at our own breakfast table. Mom cooking each meal when the selection was finally made. At this point I must end my “critique” of the cuisine created and family feel (which was real) and gently cooked delicious meals and well worth the drive. A must!

From their family and our...

1st visit for my family. Group of 7. We were greeted and seated . The menu covers the salads and sandwiches offred. They also offer a good selection of baked goods. Our order was taken, and in a timely manner, our requested dishes were served. Everything was excellent. The Cuban sandwich was a generous serving of roasted pork ,ham, and cheese. Yellow mustard and pickles. We will be back for lunch. Returned for brunch. Ordered the breakfast burrito with green chili sauce.. another family member ordered the breakfast burrito with avocado topping. My daughter ordered the baked sweet potatoe loaded with grilled mushrooms and butter sauce. And the soup of the day . Again, all was excellent, and the service was super. The desserts and other pastries are all made on site. Cinnamon rolls, cakes, and biscuits. My family enjoyed them. Only downside, no sugar...
