Blue Bird Cafe - Adelaide

While driving around, we noticed a coffee shop sign and decided to stop in. We ordered a cappuccino, apple juice, quiche, and a croissant. Unfortunately, the quiche was undercooked so we received a croissant instead, which was complimentary. We had already paid for the quiche, but they kindly offered the croissant on the house.

I had the pleasure of meeting the owners the night before and accepted their invitation to have breakfast at their cafe on my way to the airport. The cafe is a cozy coffee shop that is unpretentious and just like the owners, it is intelligent, efficient, and welcoming. Upstairs, there is a gift shop and art gallery that is worth checking out, and they often have live music on weekends. The owners are very knowledgeable about local history and have connections to up-and-coming Adelaide artists. The food was delicious and reasonably priced.

We were driving around and saw their coffee sign.Ordered a cappuccino, apple juice, quiche and a croissant. Quiche was not cooked well (dough was still under cooked) so he got a croissant instead. Was on the house but he already pre payed for his quiche .Nothing special this place.

I met the proprietors the previous night and took up their invitation to breakfast at their cafe on my way to the airport. The cafe is a conventional coffee shop without any pretentiousness, much like the owners it is intelligent, efficient and welcoming. The gift-shop and art gallery upstairs is worth a look and there is often live music on weekend afternoons. The owners also had lots of information on local history and lots of contacts into emerging Adelaide artists. Great food and good value.

This charming restaurant is conveniently located within walking distance of Chinatown. We were fortunate to be staying just down the road and Yelp led us to this gem.
