I visited Early Bird this morning. It is a local women-owned coffee shop, and I had an enjoyable experience. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere characterized by cozy seating and tasteful decor. The staff were amicable and attentive, ensuring every customer felt welcome and comfortable. The menu boasted a wide variety of unique and delicious coffee blends alongside an array of freshly baked pastries that were simply irresistible. I opted for a rich, aromatic, zoey cinnamon latte paired with a tasty grilled cheese, which exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail, from the quality of the coffee to the overall ambiance, truly set this coffee shop apart. It is evident the owners take great pride in their business, creating a space where patrons can enjoy exceptional beverages and snacks and a sense of community and support for women entrepreneurs. I will recommend Early Bird to my...
Read moreI was so excited when I first heard the news that a new cafe was coming to the neighborhood, fulfilling a need that many, like myself, yearned for. The customer service is stellar; the owner offered to bring our order to our table since we decided to dine in.

I ordered a chai latte with almond milk, my go-to coffee shop drink, while my mother ordered a coffee.

I was disappointed but I know that over time, and with customer feedback, their non-coffee drinks (fingers crossed) will become better. I am glad that this exists and am confident will quickly become a...
Read moreI REALLY want to like this place. The coffee is good, the food is good, nice location, cute name. However, this is some of the rudest staff in Riverdale. There is a girl with a snake tattoo that acts like she doesn't want to be there every time I go. They barely speak to you, even when ordering. Once I was in there and one of the owners was there (I recognized her by the photo), so I thought surely the service will be better today, but no. Honestly, she wasnt much better than her other staff. How can you have a successful, nice coffee shop and not make sure your guests feel welcomed?? I only go here when Greystone...
