Coffee and food always delicious! Cornbread is to die for and their banana bread with mascarpone and pistachio is amazing. Always friendly, great service too.
Had breakfast there yesterday and the food and coffee was fantastic.
We really enjoyed the atmosphere! Highly Recommend!
It was a sunny sunday morning,iāve decided to get some brunch near my house. I found this retro and small cafe in collingwood & easily found parking spot near the cafe.
I ordered Chicken schnitz, which is so crispy and cooked perfectly inside. The lime,the ginger, the chili & coconut slaw remind me of typical asian food that i usually eat at the restaurant really well blended with the chicken. Sāmores brioche French toast is my top list recommendation to go!the toast is so crispy and full of goodness inside it. Although is such a lovely meal, but i think the portion is quite small compare to others cafe.
Overall, the food was excellenteee!the place was comfy,the staffs very friendly and the ambience was very positive. Iāll be back for sureš¤š»

Bluebird espresso at Collingwood. A small cafe and food was good. Nice coffee and friendly staff with good service. It was nice to have the brunch with friends there.
My Chilli scrambled was great, very flavoursome - the tomato provided a nice element of juicy/slight sweetness to cut through the spice. The bread used was a bit odd though, not what Iād expect eg a sourdough, it was too soft and crumbly. Good serving size though would def order again. Boyfriendās āacai bowlā was underwhelming didnāt even have acai in it and barely any fruit..shouldāve just been called yoghurt and granola. Presentation was also sloppy.
Iced latte was pretty good and strong but ordered it as a fallback option as they donāt do iced mocha. Staff were friendly and place was quite small inside with a cute courtyard outside. Prices pretty good.

Had the āSāmores Brioche French Toastā and a cup of cappuccino. The artwork on the cappuccino seemed a bit shaky, maybe it was intentional? But the random bits of melted chocolate powder on top made it a fine piece of art. Also there was some more chocolate powder on the rim of the cup; a nice change to sipping coffee with a touch of chocolate sweetness.Ā
The āSāmores Brioche French Toastā consisted of two slices of cornflake crusted toasts sandwiching some melted white and pink marshmallows and nutella. Some mork chocolate sauce was drizzled on top of the brioche French toast and there was a handful of cut up strawberries. Finally the plate was decorated with some sugar dust and edible flowers. The toast was crunchy, not hard but a little dry, and in between the toast was oozing out the melted marshmallows; gooey and sticky. Every bite was pure sweetness predominately from the sugar sweet marshmallow and a noticeable trace of chocolaty flavour from the nutella spread. However the mork chocolate sauce which seemed to be dark chocolate lacked flavour in the presence of the marshmallows and nutella; it would have been great if the dark chocolate sauce was more intense to get some bitter sweet flavour to balance the overall sweetness. A generous amount of strawberries was definitely needed to tone down the sugar sweetness from the toast and marshmallows; the strawberries themselves were not that sweet and a little tart.
Overall the meal was decent; cappuccino was nice and flavourful; the gooey marshmallows contrasted well with the crunchy French toast and the flavour was great but maybe a little too sweet. Definitely perfect for a sweet tooth.
Walked past here on a walk with the dog and decided to have some lunch. I asked if I could go through the cafe to get to the courtyard, which was no problem! :) decided to go for the peanut butter and raspberry smoothie and didnāt actually have any food. Smoothie as good. Normally I would like to sit in the sun, but it was very hot so had a lovely spot in the shade. Would love to come again and try the food.
Made a booking through the Zomato app and it was declined. Headed here anyway at the same time the booking was for and there were plenty of table available, unsure why it was declined..
Anyway parking was easy, the cafe it's self was quiet cute and had ample seating. The waitress was lovely but our order did get mixed up and the dish that was supposed to have gluten free bread had sourdough and the dish that was to be sourdough was gluten free. I had poached eggs on sourdough with a side of avocado and it was delicious. Also had an iced long place that was perfect. The menu is extensive if you don't want something as simple as poached eggs.
The cafe is located on the quieter end of Johnston Street. I came here for breakfast with 3 other friends. We got a table in the courtyard out the back, and had a cosy seating area under the shades. We were all happy with the dishes we ordered; food was tasty and came in good portion. If you do visit, try getting a table in the courtyard.
I decided to check this cafe out after it was recommended by a work friend. Being a Saturday, I knew it would be busy so opted for an early morning breakfast to beat the potential queues (& parking woes). We got there just after 9am and were able to have our pick of whichever table we wanted!
I chose the pork benedict as I was intrigued by the cornbread waffle...and I don't mind a bit of pulled pork!! The dish was super tasty - the jalapeƱo cheddar cornbread was delicious and savoury, blending perfectly with the textures of the smoked pulled pork and creaminess of the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. The serving sizes were also very generous - I was still full that evening despite not eating lunch! Coffee was a little on the bitter side, and served warm. Overall, this little cafe lived up to its expectations.

Sometimes it's the hidden gems that surprise you the most and this definitely fit Bluebird Espresso to a tee. One of my new favourites with all the brunch standards served to perfection. Nothing could've prepared me for the magic here. Bluebird Espresso is a 'blink and you'll miss it' cafe along Johnston Street in Collingwood so definitely look out for it. It is quite small in size though there is additional seating out the back but very little seating on the street (max 5 seats). It is bright and cozy offering a view of some of the cooking done at the counter. The crowd seemed to be made up of a mix of hipsters and locals which left a pretty good first impression...go where the locals go.
Great little local cafe. It's cosy, unpretentious and serves excellent coffee and food. Favorites are chili scrambled eggs, French toast and baked eggs.
I found this place by accident and it was the best accident ever. AMAZING food and wonderful service. will definitely be coming back very soon !
Great place, great vibe and amazing coffee and food!
Love this petite little cafe. Excellent food with hasty service. Friendly staff and good decor. I recommend the mango panacotta!
Very nice cafƩ. Quiet and intimate. Staff are friendly without being in your face and give you enough time to look over the menu. The food was also delicious. I got the pork Benedict and it was a perfect combination of flavours in a good portion size. Would reccomend.
Great little cafe I found by pure chance but so glad I did! Superfood brekky bowl was so delicious I could have licked the bowl. The staff were delightful and obviously take pride in the preparation and presentation of their food. Their regular clients appear to be treated like family. Only wish I lived closer!
Dukkah eggs were out of control and included the best mushroom I've ever had. They were so good that the chicken sandwich seemed only "very good" by comparison. The coffee was probably alright. I have no idea; I smashed it down. Beautiful neat decor.
