Birdhouse Coffee

Absolutely stunning spot! Bird House Café in South Windsor is such a hidden gem. The outdoor seating area is magical—especially the cozy fire pit, which adds such a warm and inviting vibe. Perfect for a relaxed catch-up or a quiet moment with your coffee. Speaking of which, the coffee was excellent—smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. I also tried the biscotti, and it was delicious and very reasonably priced. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere make this a place I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

amazing spot to work and the coffee is delicious! Food is so so but the service is great 😊… I especially love the one barista, Angela. She is so sweet and always remembers my order. I usually just get a cappuccino, but their matcha lemonade is gas.

I review this place as a kitchen for Connecticut Valley Brewing Company. If you treat this place as a standalone coffee shop, then you experience may vary. I came to the taproom and decided to try food from Birdhouse, as this place now serves as a kitchen for the brewery. Unfortunately, my overall experience was underwhelming. We ordered a pizza, fried pickles and a cream cheese Danish. You receive bakery items immediately from the shelf, but the wait time for all the rest is pretty long. I visited this place on Monday which is not the busiest of days. Fried pickles were ready within about 20 minutes, while pizza came out only after 40 minutes wait. The fried pickles were not good. They were crisp up to the point of being burnt, not juicy at all. I can tell that the spices they used were pretty good, but the way they fried them ruined the taste. The pizza was a similar experience - not only the crust was burnt and just too dry, it was also uneven. So some of the slices were chewy. And again, the pizza filling is good (albeit, quite salty), but the preparation was bad. The Danish was fine. I liked it, but my wife didn't.

I really enjoyed the coffeecake I purchased but wasn't too crazy about my drink. I ordered a Campfire iced latte but the flavors weren't coming through for me so I was a little disappointed. I will definitely give them another try though.

Such a cool place and concept with the brewery next door. Great atmosphere, extremely friendly staff. I had the cheddar chive biscuit which was killer and the coffee was perfectly flavored. Brought a bag home of their house roast and it’s top of my list for flavor profiles.

It’s a Saturday at 10:13, so yes the line is long and it was busy. But regardless, I came here with my girlfriend for the first time very excited to try it out. I ordered a bagel with bacon jalapeño cream cheese… got plain cream cheese instead. Also ordered hash browns that never got put into my bag. My girlfriend’s sandwich was soggy too. Sure, could I have gone back to the counter to get the hash browns that I had paid for, or the correct cream cheese? Yes. But it was at the point with how busy it was, didn’t see the point in it.

Great atmosphere and probably good coffee wouldn’t know as I don’t drink it. Ordered a breakfast sandwich at 8:21, it was ready at 8:52, soggy, and microwaved. Do not go if you’re looking for a quick bite to eat. Also not very filling.

I heard good things about this place and was excited to try it. I went on a Thursday morning around 8:30 to pick up my order that was put in at 8:19. When I came in, the staff was all talking to each other and customers all had their drinks and food. The screen showed they had my order and someone else’s in progress, so it wasn’t busy. It took 30 minutes on a slow weekday to get a coffee and one pastry. The staff were only friendly to each other and it was very disappointing. I like to go to local places and love the amount of events they always have, but it seems the morning staff didn’t get the message about community. I never leave reviews, but this was so disappointing and I felt like a bother to the staff. I’m not expecting extravagant kindness, but a hello or even an acknowledgment would be nice. I won’t be spending any money here again. It’s a shame.
