Food was not good…read more Vietnamese coffee was very generic tasting. Not Vietnamese at all, more like a sugary americano. Breakfast burrito was very bland. No salt or pepper. They place a scoop of pico in the middle. Not very pleasant to take 1 large bite of watery veggies leaving the burrito wet and soaked. The place has a nice view unfortunately that's the best part of this place with my experience. I should have read the reviews or waited for something else in the plaza to open up.

The restaurant itself is small and cozy with a comfortable atmosphere, but seating is limited. It can get busy during peak hours, so waiting is expected. There are also outdoor tables along the street that you can use when the weather is nice. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable, making it a good option for a casual breakfast or brunch. They were out of cold brew during my visit, so I ordered an iced coffee instead, but it was served a bit lukewarm, which was slightly disappointing. The omelet and Cobb salad were both flavorful and well prepared. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Overall, a cozy breakfast spot with solid food and a welcoming atmosphere.

The crepe was definitely my favorite! the combination of fresh strawberries and Nutella was delicious, and it really hit the spot. The breakfast panini was also tasty, and I would happily come back for both items. The service was fast and efficient, and the staff stayed attentive throughout our visit, making sure we had everything we needed. One thing I really loved about this cafe was the atmosphere. There are plenty of seating areas, making it a great place to hang out or catch up with friends. The overall vibe is cozy and inviting, which makes me want to keep coming back.

I wasn't too keen on the ordering by QR code at the table, since it was our first visit, but since I didn't notice anyone hanging around the cash register, we did it. And my friend is really tech savvy so it worked out. Several guests that arrived after us ordered at the cash register somehow and someone even picked up a to go order or door dash at the counter while I was getting self serve water so there is a cashier. My friend loved her iced lavender matcha and enjoyed her breakfast burrito though she thought the bacon bits were too thick compared to other places. Appreciated that they validate parking. Overall, pretty nice experience dining on the shady patio with a breeze.

You could be dining at a five-star restaurant and still hope to receive the kind of service she gave us. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel genuinely welcomed and completely at home. What impressed us most was that the restaurant was busy, yet Edee never made us feel rushed or like we were just another table. She took her time with us, checked in, was incredibly friendly and attentive, and somehow managed to make our breakfast feel relaxed even during a busy part of the morning. Great food can bring you into a restaurant, but people like Ede are what make you want to come back. She is an absolute asset to this place and deserves to be recognized for the way she treats her customers. Thank you, Edee, for making a simple breakfast feel like something special. We will absolutely be back!

Such a gem! I've…read morebeen hearing great things about this place and finally had a chance to try it... I was so impressed. The restaurant has plenty of seating and the staff is very welcoming. They also were playing great music here ;)) My partner and I shared a breakfast burrito and the churro waffle. The breakfast burrito came with a side (we picked hash browns) and it was packed with egg, cheese, and bacon. The hash browns were so flavorful. The churro waffle was such a treat! It's not too sweet and comes with banana and whipped cream. Shoutout to our server Kezia she was so attentive and kind :) You should definitely come try this place out!

The unenthused server possessed of a French "ennui", bored-with-life vibe offers coffee (good), doesn't know the waffle of the week (not great), and disappears behind a bus station to check her phone for 20 mins at a time rather than walking the floor to check on tables. No buckwheat on hand for the buckwheat pancake I fancied (it's a bulk staple, so how do you run out?). Ordered the brioche french toast and an omelette. While overpriced (~$19 for the french toast) and delivery 20+ minutes after ordering (industry standard is about 10-12 mins for this dish, less for the omelette), taste was good and almost made up for the blasé service and tardiness. Net-net, this was my fourth and final stop at Early Bird. I might miss the french toast, but they won't miss us.

The highlight was definitely the atmosphere. They had multiple TVs throughout the restaurant, which made watching the World Cup easy and fun.

There are better spots in the area, so I probably wouldn't come back.

So delish!! The tortas were good also. The carne asada one came with pieces of carne and they were a little tough to chew. We ordered the iced cafe de olla. Sorry to say I tasted better.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt cold and unwelcoming. The ordering process is done at a kiosk in the front, which gives it more of a fast-food vibe than a café. That's fine but even with that setup I would expect some level of hospitality. After our food was brought to the table, no one checked on us, offered drink refills, or asked if we needed anything. When we were ready to leave, we had to get up ourselves to find takeout containers and bags. Good service can make a meal feel special but poor service can have the opposite effect, I don't see myself returning to Cafe Cultura.

The space is super picturesque so come ready to pose. Every little space has a theme that feels a bit different. You can enjoy your tea with a fairy vibe, English vibe, outdoor vibe, grandmas' yard vibe, kids like vibe or coffee shop vibe haha this spot has it all. Come alone or come with friends. The outdoor area has a good amount of shades spots that block the sun and its heat. The coffee menu is unique and delicious. The drinks are really well thought out. They have a few syrups made in-house. I tried their pistachio latte and it was perfection. It has little pieces of pistachio in it and so every sip has a bit of it. I had the bulgogi panini and I wasn't sure what to expect but it surpassed anything I could imagine that panini would be. Whoever came out with this combo is a genius. You must try it! Overall, I will be back. Even though I live a bit far , this spot is totally worth the drive.

During my visit, it happened to be one of the hottest days, so sitting outside to eat or drink was honestly unbearable. Thankfully, there's plenty of seating inside, but it as pretty busy when we went so we ended up braving the heat outside. As for food, I'd say it was decent but nothing that had me craving it afterward or thinking I needed to come back specifically for it. I tried the avocado toast and the bulgogi cupbap and both were good for a casual meal. The drinks were okay as well. I think it's a nice spot if you're in the area and looking for a laid back cafe, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way just for the food.
