Truly the best kept secret of Hattiesburg. After living in New York City and Houston, the food choices were really difficult when I moved here. But Birdhouse offers such unique and healthy options, and the spot is so cozy. The workers are always so friendly and remember my name. Very grateful for this gem! read more

Here from out of town and always try to find healthy food when traveling. Unfortunately, was extremely disappointed. first off this location is hard to find as it's inside a home store. the floors were very sticky and dirty. you could see them preparing the food and it is not healthy or home made. They were using Prego marinara sauce and hidden valley ranch dressing. Food not great either. read more

Everything I've ever ordered is so flavorful, yummy, and filling! It's all so healthy and fresh too. 12/10 recommend! The service is always top tier and they're so nice! read more

I really wanted to like this spot! It could've just been a certain time that I went, but the food was not good at all. It was extremely overpriced and truly had no flavor! So BLAND! The service was OK I guess?? I also got a coffee and the same thing. No flavor at all! I'm disappointed because it was very cute ! But the food itself was just not impressive. Neither was the coffee. I'm giving it 3.5 stars because it could possibly be that it was just an off day, or it is just my personal taste! I would not say no to trying this place again. read more

I go to my chiropractor in that area & heard about this place through that office. I wanted a place with healthy & vegan options & this place was it. I get The Dillon, which is normally a bowl, but I get it in a spinach wrap & add turkey. Katie says I'm the only one that orders it that way. The shakes are also delicious (I've only tried the Fast Car & the Barbie-both great). Katie & the ladies are always super-friendly & hospitable. Amazing + 10/10!!! read more

This is such a hidden gem, careful you will probably drive past it. It is in a furniture and appliance store, And tricky to get into if you are coming from the west. I can't believe I live less than a mile away and haven't been here! I had to go with a local!I will be back for a delicious full menu. The food is first class! I had the chicken curry salad the portion was generous and the dressing was made as only an award winning chef could! read more

Birdhouse Cafe - My mystery friend on the other side of my delicious coffee drink with butter. - Cafes Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

So grateful. First and foremost, everything I have ever tried is so nutritious, fresh and delicious. Secondly, I didn't realize they closed at 3 and walked in 45 minutes late. Katie took the time to still serve me and was so kind and welcoming. The Bird House Cafe is a perfect gem in Hattiesburg. I cannot wait to try everything on the menu! read more

Wonderful service and amazing food. Everything I've had has been great. Healthy flavor filled food. A true gem! read more

Birdhouse Cafe - Turkey Avocado Sandwich and TTT Smoothie Bowl - Cafes Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

First and foremost, Katie is as friendly, generous, and as kind as she seems on camera. She is very humble and down to earth. My wife and I come as often as we can, but our schedules don't allow us. She treats not just us, but every customer new or recurring so well like a family. I've run into several instances where either Katie or her employees have gone out of their way to keep us coming back. Anyway, about Birdhouse itself. It is a little hard to find because it is inside a furniture goods store, and off to the side when you walk in. Gosh, when you walk in, something always smells good. Today, I ate the Crooked Rabbit salad with salmon and it might be my go-to after my original favorite, the Curry-in-a-hurry salad. I have had several sandwiches, drinks, and meal preps meals from here, and I can't complain about anything I received. Also, their acai bowls are very satisfying at breakfast time, even though I rarely eat breakfast. Even if you are not a health-fanatic, they have plenty of options like the Heavy-T sandwich and Mexican Wrestler that are not as "healthy foodie" as the others may seem. Despite the strange location, I have to give this place a 5 stars. It excels in everything they make. Katie, if you read these reviews, thank you so much for all that you do! My wife and I will be back soon! read more

Nice alternative to Southern food. Good, healthy, and tastey. Cooked fresh and in front of you. You might miss it because it is in a furniture store. But very nice ambience. Staff is great! read more

Sweet lunch spot tucked in a furniture/decor store. Easy to pass up the drive to turn in - but worth the turnaround to come back. The chicken salad Curry in a Hurry is delicious with cranberries and a fresh bed of spring mix and spinach. Delightful lunch spot with comfortable and stylish banquette seating. read more

The food and smoothie was delicious! The service was quick. The owner and chefs were lovely. The restaurant was so cute. Love it and will return! read more

Cute and local. Their bagels here are absolutely freaking delicious! I think they have other food selections too but I came here for a bagel breakfast order! It's off on the corner so you can't miss it. Parking is across the corner if you're NOT a local like myself. I went early in the morning and there was a lot of parking. I'm not sure how it differs later in the day though. Great customer care and service and just the right price. Everything was made fresh. My brother and I really enjoyed our bagel breakfast. I highly recommend. I loved it. I'd come back again and again! read more

This restaurant is one of my favorites in Hattiesburg! Especially for people who are wanting to eat healthy! The service is great! I love interacting with the owner, Katie and the manager, Sahil. They know my order and start preparing my Rici as soon as I walk in! The cafe has space to do work while you eat or simply just enjoy a meal with your friends or family! I can't recommend this place enough! read more

My daughter has severe allergies and when we found out about this place I was so exited to say the least. Food is incredible, staff is very friendly, and helpful. read more

Loooooved the food but the wait was excruciating. There was only one lady taking orders and making food so it was very slow going. But the food and the coffee were very good so if you're not in a hurry, definitely stop by. read more

Such a hidden GEM!! So excited to have found this when we were traveling! My travel partner and I both eat plant based and it's so hard to fin and this knocked it out of the park!!! He had zoodles and I had a salad and they were both delightful!! Workers were super kind and friendly and they sell a recipe book with lots of the recipes in it!! We will definitely stop in again!! read more

Tried this hidden gem yesterday and enjoyed the food and ambience for breakfast. Healthy menu to choose from as well as hot coffee and tea. Almost missed it, so just remember it is inside to the right of B&S Appliance store right off Hwy 98. Definitely find your way there, for it was pleasant and yummy; we enjoyed it and will return! read more

Such a cute place! The food has always been presented as its described. Fresh flavors and healthy choices.

Upset it took me this long to find this hidden gem. Friendly staff, quick service and we loved what we ordered. I come to Hattiesburg for work and will absolutely be returning here on a regular basis over my next trips. read more

Stumbled into this little cafe while working in the area. It has fantastic heathy lunch options. I've tried the Far East bowl and The Crooked Rabbit salad. Both were great! I'll definitely be back to try some of their yummy smoothies and desserts. read more

The food is good/healthy but pricey. $9 for a basic sandwich with a tiny fruit cup. Sadly, the service is somewhat lacking. You pay upfront on an iPad and I gave a nice tip. When I got to the table from stepping into the restroom, the waitress had put down the sandwich & small cup of ice. No water. I had to flag her down and ask if I could have some water. She went and got it and brought it back. That's the last I saw of her. Eating the sandwich without a refill was a little challenging. Not sure I will be back. read more

Noticed this as I drove past on Hwy 98 - almost missed it. Looked it up online and loved the menu. Finally had a chance to dine there for lunch and it was fantastic. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff was delightfully friendly and accommodating. Very cute interior - you actually enter through B&S Appliance entrance and walk to the right. I was immediately delighted with the decor and the aesthetic of the place. Fresh fruit was on display for the myriad of house-made smoothies along with fresh avocado, etc. Unique salads and panini sandwiches to die for. I will definitely go back again and again. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was due to the system being down when we ordered. However, they made sure our order was in queue and got started even without the electronic ticket. Try it - If you love fresh, healthy food served in a unique way, you will LOVE this place! read more

my boyfriend and I came in for breakfast today and were very disappointed. I have been to birdhouse many times before and the service has always been lacking, but today it was worse than ever. First of all, no one that works there is friendly or inviting and almost acts annoyed that you are even there giving them business. I dread going in there because of having to deal with the service. We ordered two sandwhiches for dine in and went and sat at a table. As we are endlessly sitting there the staff and even the owner herself are there messing around with the speaker and music, talking very loudly about things like Top Gun and the beach, and even going around telling the highs and lows of their week although no one is working on our order. After sitting there for over 30 minutes I finally decided to go and just ask for my order to go because my boyfriend had to go to work. No one even looked up at me when I approached them to nicely ask, and then when I finally got their attention they very loudly started talking amongst themselves about how they forgot our order or assumed it was to go. The owner apologized but no one seemed sincerely apologetic that we had been sitting there for so long with no service whatsoever. By the time we ate our food, it was cold and not even cooked well. I have worked in many different food industries so I very much understand forgetting an order or something taking a while to get out of the kitchen. But I have never experienced a restaurant where not even the owner herself will ask if we are waiting for something or if there is anything we need help with. We were not even acknowledged and I guess never would have been if I had not gone up to the front and asked about my order. They insisted on giving us protein balls to make up for it even tho my boyfriend and I both insisted that we did not want them and just wanted our order so we could leave. I am not the kind of person to write reviews and to be honest, this is my first review to ever even leave on yelp, but when you are paying such high prices for food and then get treated the way we did a review needs to be written. read more

Accidentally stumbled upon this hidden gem! The food is so fresh and filling. 100% would recommend the curry chicken salad and the chocolate zucchini muffin. My coworker had the zoodles and beat salad. I will go back again when I travel through this area. read more

OH. MY. GOSH! I adore this place!! If you are in search of healthy options for breakfast or lunch, do not miss The Bird House Cafe. Be careful - it's easy to miss as you are heading west on Hwy 98. The restaurant is located inside of B&S Appliance, which actually makes for a really cool vibe. You feel like you are in the chef's house, hanging out in her kitchen. All the ingredients are so fresh. You won't go wrong with anything you order. I always opt for the day's special or take the chef's suggestion. I've never been disappointed! read more

This is a fantastic breakfast/lunch stop for me and my husband. The food is prepared fresh and always great tasting! Our favorite smoothie is Kicking tires and lightning fires! You have to get there early because it can fill up fast and you'll have to wait for this awesome experience. read more

This place is great. It was like walking into your friends kitchen and getting served some awesome food. I decided to use Lent as jumpstart to eat healthier and this was a great choice. read more

Very cute place with potential. However.... their service and timing need much improvement. I was excited to find a place that offered acai bowls in the area but very disappointed to see how unprepared the staff was for just a few patrons. Understandably the chef was not in yet, but reassuring your patrons and at least letting them know you are behind are corner stones in quality service. For a coffee, Acai bowl, and sandwich to-go we waited almost half an hour. The acai bowl was prepared first, which, as a frozen product, would have been best made last unless they were serving it to us and additionally it was not prepared as listed. The peanut butter was blended into the mix masking the acai flavor rather than on top as listed, the cocoa nibs were left off, and the fruits were cut too large and scattered on top taking away from the presentation. It's hard to say if the flavor may have been different since they were also out of almond milk and substituted with soy, however I would have much preferred being notified of this prior to ordering rather than just being asked if I was allergic. The Dillon itself was ok, however, I would suggest a sauce of some sort to compliment the grilled veggies and overall bland taste of the dish. Perhaps cooking the egg to medium or more gently would have added to the flavor. As for the curry-in-a-hurry, this was a salad I would possibly get again, but the cranberries seemed to distract a bit from the taste rather than complimenting the flavors. The dressing they pair with this salad though adds a nice tang and the veggies are fresh. So, if you have a very long lunch break, it is worth a try, just make sure you have the time. read more
