Little Bird

Lovely cafe with nice and friendly service. Medium price range. Great breakfast and lunch selection selection with plenty of healthy choices. Good atmosphere.

First time visit. We were asked to use the QR code to order if we want to pay separately do we did. Some items on the coffee menu that were not available so there were inconsistencies but manager was happy to make substitutions. I think the app or order queue got lost in translation, we had dishes showed up that we didn’t order and all our dishes/drinks didn’t arrive together. The food was average. The chilli scramble was appreciated, the omelette was dry, the Rueben was nothing to write home about

Location/Atmosphere Great location, lovely open dining & outside dining available. Plenty of seats. Food Food was excellent. We had the Ham & Potato Croquettes which came with halloumi & poached eggs + the 12-hour slow cooked pork benedict garnished with apple shavings, absolutely delicious. Service Service for seating & ordering was lovely. Only small hiccup was requesting to take plates while one of us was still eating and not far off finishing. Would have been 5 star had the waitress given us a bit more time to completely finish before interupting or perhaps asking how the food was first. A "hello" or "excuse me" first before "can I take your plate?". Lovely experience overall. Thank you.

Loved it. The ham and cheese croquettes were so good. Big serving too, which was a nice surprise. The big breakfast was excellent. Everything was fresh, cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Everything you want and nothing you don't. I had to order via the app which I didn't love, because it prevents the user from making non-standard alterations to the menu items. Good coffee. There's a bit of a line for coffee during peak times on a weekday, but they usually churn through the orders pretty quickly and the food doesn't take too long.

In the morning, there were a lot of people, most of them likely working nearby. They bought their food and left. I ordered the ham and potato croquettes that everyone recommended, and they tasted pretty good. I liked the flavor of the dipping sauce. The cappuccino was also decent.

Omg the coffee best I've had a in a long time from a cafe The food is solid & tasty,service is friendly and welcoming.

We visited on a Saturday and it was quiet with plenty of seating indoors and out. On street parking was not a problem. Staff were attentive and friendly. Service was fast, our food came out really quickly. Tea drop tea was excellent coffee was aromatic and flavoursome. Serving size was very generous, wagyu burger held together well, and had many delicious flavours. Omelette was huge well cooked well seasoned and tasty.

Barton's hospitality economy is truly in the doldrums! These restaurants have a captive market of bureaucrats and they are abusing it. Colleagues and I waited 50 mins for some eggs on toast today.. not coming again. Bring your own lunch!

When a cafe offers Allpress coffee they are well on the way to five stars! Great service, amazing sour dough toast (3 large slices) butter that is not rock hard and peanut butter that you can spread without cutting through the toast! Coffee was made to perfection, newspapers and a great outlook. A must visit if in Canberra.

Little Bird is surrounded by office blocks, and so it would be safe to assume its focus is to cater for the office crowd - coffee, takeaways and fast turnaround sit-in meals. Despite how busy it gets (you may have to wait for a table/service) everything is fresh and delicious and the servers are friendly. If you are in the vicinity of parliament house or the national gallery then this is a worthwhile detour for food.

i work nearby and this is definitely the best coffee i've found. and i usually don't care for sandwiches the sandwiches are super good too. there's a long wait at peak hours so keep that in mind. regardless i recommend

Great breakfast menu, fresh juices and really good coffee. Great if you are staying or working in the BARTON area. Service was very attentive and friendly. Only downside is that by around 8am the coffee queue gets quite long, so this may mean some delays if you are eating at the cafe and are after a coffee- minor point though.

Have brunched here 3 times and every time the food, service and coffee has been fantastic! Fair prices, great serving sizes and a nice ambience. Highly recommended!
