Rare bird is my absolute favorite local coffee shop the best matcha, croissants, and pour overs. They have such kind owners and the pastries and coffee are delicious.
Love the Bird! Open, airy café, with lots of seating. Delicious coffee. I had a cardamom vanilla latte, which was beautifully presented and tastes delicious. Espresso is smooth, not bitter. March 2024. Here again. Butterscotch latte was subtle and lovely. The buckwheat scone didn’t have a lot of flavor, TBH. Calm, lovely atmosphere at Rare Bird.
Delicious and authentic espresso and tea. The sizes are smaller than commercial coffee chains but the taste is way better. I recommend the Marocchino (this is a smaller mocha drink) and I also tried the seasonal spiced orange espresso latte. Both were delicious. Much larger on the inside of the building then it appears as well. There is a parking lot behind the building.
Did a coffee cupping class this past weekend and the coffees we sampled were very tasty. Unfortunately, I have yet to try any specialty drinks, but my wife ordered herself a drink and something to eat and was impressed with both. We would definitely come back here!
With the massive amount of space Rare Bird occupies, I find it extremely odd that they would decide to “no longer carry” almond milk due to lack of space (per the cashier.) Only having regular milk and oat milk as a coffee shop seems like an odd choice as many customers won’t want either of those. Regardless, the interior is beautiful and atmosphere is fantastic. I really hope they reconsider their decision and introduce more milk alternatives to the menu. Dietary restrictions: As stated above, they only carry 2 milk options, whole milk and oat milk. Very unaccomodating.
Rare Bird does not miss with the quality of coffee at all. They have a stylish, well-maintained Strada and a great selection of coffees. Love the naturals every time. Some really great, thoughtfully designed, locally thrown drinkware. It's a serious gem. Parking: Street parking is a bit of a premium here. There's a local public lot just around the block. Perhaps not the best for accessibility, but there are options.
