What a huge disappointment! Granted I was visiting down from Asheville, where were spoiled by great breakfast choices, but even so... I would not recommend this place to anyone! The location is a bummer - the deck is in the midst of a concrete jungle with few plants to liven it up. Our group for breakfast included 3 adults and 5 children under 7 yrs., all of which ordered off the kids menu, and our tab came to over $80 with tip (yikes!). Their kids pancakes amounts to half of a pancake cut into cute shapes, but in now way provided enough of a meal for even my 4-yr. old. Our main entrees were just ok. While the bean cakes in the eggs benedict were tasty, the goat cheese was nowhere to be found in the veggie/goat cheese omelet. And they both came with a side order of roasted potatoes that any restaurant should be ashamed to serve up - about 12 small cubes of potatoes that had sat under a heat lamp for at least 4 hours (tough, chewy,...) All of you who gave this 5-stars should come to Asheville and have breakfast at the Sunny Point Cafe or Early Girl - you wont ever step in this place again. Depressing atmosphere, mediocre food and terrible value to boot!

First time eating here today. Friends rave about this place. We had horrible service, waited 10 minutes before water was brought out to us. The waitress kept having to say, Ill be right back with (blank) and it was another 5 minutes before she would return. Everyone else had their food and wanted to start eating but 1 person didnt have their meal, the special of the day. Then when she finally brings it out she says it had been made wrong so they had to remake it but we didnt know that while we were waiting and no compensation was offered. The juice was served warm. The 3 cheese and herb omelette had no herbs worth mentioning and had no flavor other than the brie. The special pork belly eggs Benedict had thin hollandaise sauce and barely any to begin with; the eggs were slightly overcooked; the baked apples had no flavor and were undercooked; and flavorless pork belly that had no crisp to it and got lost in the egg and toast. We did not send anything back due to being with company who are regulars here and did not want to embarrass them.

The food was good but I wish the portions were bigger. I liked the poached eggs with crab cake and hollandaise sauce. On my second visit however I told the wait staff that I was doing a review and could they answer a few questions. They could not be bothered even though their were only 13 people seated. On my first visit I had the poached eggs. On my second visit I asked if they knew how to make a classic french omlette and they said yes as it was just technique. Well they did not know the technique as they made it on a griddle. You can not shake a griddle to make the smooth omelette. See photo. My first visit the person who waited on me was helpful and cheerful. No so on my second visit as the woman was surely, argumentative and NOT cheerful. In my restaurant she would have been shown the door. Now I can see from a previous review she must have served that customer. All said and done for the most part the food was done correctly except the omelette, they were do all eggs except poached on a griddle. I may come back.

Unorganized staff ruined this place before we got in the door. Was told it was a 20 minute wait, asked if we could sit at the bar as it was empty and was told they would check and let us know. Within a minute they came out got the couple that walked up before us and put them at the bar. Leaving the other seats empty. They then put another couple there that we believe came in after us, but couldnt be sure. After 45 minutes (remember we were told 20), we noticed two other people go in that came in after us and as we walked in they were telling that couple that just walked in they could have the bar. That was the last straw. Ruined our morning plans and threw our day off because they cant keep their name keeper organzied. No plans to go back.

Great atmosphere and fun decor, the outdoor patio was well shaded, dog friendly and really nice - you wouldnt even know you were in a parking lot! Came in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We each ordered a couple of not-so-awesome Crabcake sandwhiches which were mushy and riddled with pieces of shell. Sides were unseasoned and poorly prepared. Probably should have stuck to the Breakfast items, as it appears thats what this place is known for. Service was just okay. Ill definitely come back for breakfast and give this super cute place another shot.

What great place! Went here for the 1st time on a recent trip to Chucktown for breakfast and had the Carolina Scramble.... Onions, peppers, andouille and shrimp scrambled with eggs. (Denver meets Charleston!) Omg... Heavenly. I chose grits for a side and they were some of the best grits Ive ever had.... At least as good as my own. Stone ground grits.... Not bland instant grits......with cheese. Very very laid back place. Service was good but food was exceptional.

When designing a luncheon for My Sisters House, being broadcast on Bravo TVs Southern Charm, we needed someone that could execute a lunch with a creative flair, professional service and with delicious food. Meridith and her team at Three Little Birds Cafe and Catering could not have done better. They were flawless. They were flexible, professional and amazing with the guests. ON behalf of the production company I could not suggest them more for any occasion.

Up until recently, the restaurant was closed on Mondays. Now it is open seven days a week. They offer breakfast and lunch, and the food is delicious. There are usually a variety of juices and smoothies offered, as well. Seating space is limited, and it can get quite busy (particularly on the weekends), so try to get there early for breakfast unless youre willing to wait. There is a outside patio, if the weather is nice. Free WiFi is available.

Its my local go to breakfast place as I can walk to it. Solid breakfast offerings my favorites are simple things - the mushroom swiss omelet or "Toms Plate" which is,two eggs and ham. I also like the regular French toast and recommend either it or the stuffed strawberry French toast. It can be crowded (and noisy) on weekends but most weekends its not. The juices are fresh squeezed and the coffee is really good....

La comida está rica y con una buena presentación. De igual forma la atención es muy buena y los precios acordes con el producto. Sin dudarlo volvería a ir a desayunar a éste lugar.

This is my girlfriend and Is favorite place. The atmosphere is complete with classic rock playing softly on the radio in the background and plenty of natural light in a quaint, hidden building. The food always tastes amazing; the fresh squeezed orange juice is to die for. They have paper table covers with crayons to draw with, which we love.

The food and service is excellent but I question the sanitary conditions of the restaurant because while we were waiting to get a table I noticed an employee vomiting in the back alley way then return to work. Weve all had sick days but stay home. Im not one to judge so based on my meal and service the restaurant still gets 4 out of 5.
