    My friend and I were looking for a healthy meal after doing Pilates and we decided to go to first watch because we both enjoy their power breakfast bowl. We also decided to get the pesto chicken quinoa bowl which we both loved just as much! We also got a Bloody Mary and I added a little more hot sauce to it and it was exactly the drink we needed! Our server was kind and always made sure we had everything we needed. It was pretty busy on a Saturday around 12:30 pm but we got seated immediately at the community table. It's a solid breakfast/brunch place and one of the only good ones on the north side of Denver.

    Lavender French Toast

    Located in a strip mall so plenty of parking available in the surrounding lots. Wait time was about 10-15 minutes on a Sunday morning, which was not bad, but they also had available open seating on some high top tables right by the front m, so we opted for that instead. The end seats are right by the waiting area, so if you sit there you may have some people waiting right behind you. Service was good considering how busy they can be, though once you get your food we didn't have anyone come by until we were done and waiting for the check. A little loud but you can still talk to/hear the people at your table. Food has always been consistent, good, with decent portion sizes. I recommend the Floridian French toast, which has very fresh fruit. I tried the seasonal special most recently, the lavender French toast and it was just as good - although it is on the sweeter side. The side of fresh potatoes was fine, though the potatoes were a bit soggy, the sauce on top and bacon were good. You also can't go wrong with the traditional breakfast.

    Classic Benedict

    If you go early, you don't have to wait. We got there around 9 am and sat right down. The restaurant is pretty standard with booths and tables, and the additional coat hooks were nice since it was a cold day. The staff were helpful. The food was good just some different takes on items. The Benedict came on like a soft ciabatta roll that was cut in half. The texture was just not the same as an English muffin. The donut was a delicious starter while we waited for our mains. The cheesecake made it extra delicious. I know the food quality is a little better than maybe a diner, but we will probably not come as often since it is more expensive.

    My family loves First Watch so when I asked my MIL where she wanted to celebrate her birthday, she of course chose First Watch. I was able to join the waitlist for a Sunday morning for 8 people and we didn't have to wait after checking in. It worked out amazing as we were there at 9a and was in the lull between the super early eaters and those in church. All of our food was amazingly delicious. Because it was busy, our food came out a little slower and our cornbread that we wanted to come out first only came out 2 min before our meals. I also think they were understaffed as our server was a little hard to find, but you could tell that she was working so hard.

    We ordered First Watch through UberEats and the food was surprisingly still pretty good when it arrived. Honestly, I think it would've been better to eat in person. The proportions were huge for the pancakes. I had the lemon and strawberry one and it was pretty good. It was a lot of food. The tacos were also surprisingly tasty as well. They're full of flavor. I got a few bites from my boyfriend's order. The lavender lemonade was super tasty. I was happy I could taste the lavender aroma and it wasn't just added for pretty photos.

    The lavender drink
    Hav H.

    Went here while visiting a friend in Denver. The service was GREAT! The food was ok, it wasn't awful but it wasn't great either. Some of my food seemed not cooked properly like the toast wasn't toasted and my potatoes were cooked well done on one side and a bit uncooked on the other side. The lavender drink was nice and I would try this place again because the service was really good!! It might have been an off day as they were so busy!!

    Lavender Haze Drink
    Zane F.

    Food: Awesome! For a drink I had the purple haze drink, which I renamed the lavender haze drink (iykyk), and it was excellent! Fresh tasting and a strong pop of color! For my meal I had the Elevated Egg Sandwich, and it was yummy. The avocado smash was quite nice, and I appreciated the freshness the greens brought. The potatoes were also good and were seasoned very well. Service: Our server was awesome! Very kind and super helpful. Ambience: A good breakfast/brunch place that reminds me of like a little farmhouse with their menus and such. Overall: Awesome! Good food, and juice, would totally come back!

    Sue was a very attentive waitress and friendly. I had the Farmhouse Hash and it was delicious!

    Bloody Mary
    Erick D.

    The family was craving some brunch and boy did this place come through. Our cousins live in the area and recommended the spot. They're regulars and I can definitely see why. The food was phenomenal. We shared a bunch of things such as the French Toast, Shrimp and Grits, lemon pancakes and a variety of omelets. Very friendly staff and we loved the farm style decor inside. It was our second attempt to try and get in because it gets packed. We went on a Monday so it wasn't too bad just before our flight out. We will be back for sure and you should tooThat Bloody Mary was pretty dang tasty as well and I love how you get the rest of the cocktail in the little carafe.

    Hello can I do reservations?

    They don't take reservations but they will get you and very quickly I would expect your wait to be no more than 10 minutes

    Do they serve mimosas? Edit: I went and they had really delicious mimosas, got tipsy with 1😂😋?

    I believe so. Best to call and ask

    This is my third visit to Bluebird Cafe. Warm greeting from hostess, and bonus--she did NOT ask the…read morediminishing "JUST one?" question so ubiquitously heard by solo parties. Seated in a booth. Promptly approached by server Harumy, quickly provided with a hot carafe of coffee and condiments. The ambiance is clean, cheerful, and inviting. There is music but it isn't too loud. I ordered the mini-monkey bread (pictured), essentially a biscuit dappled with cinnamon sugar streusel. I didn't love it; I thought it tasted too salty. Still, I finished it so it couldn't have been that bad! I ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla (eggs, chiles, cheese, onions, drizzled with avocado cream and served with red salsa), which was very good. Harumy checked on me, and brought the check promptly. You pay at the counter, not directly to the server. I would have given 4.5 stars but Yelp doesn't enable this, so I rounded up to 5 stars. Definitely give Bluebird Cafe a try!

I had to ask the hostess to ask our waitress to bring our drinks because we never saw our waitress again after placing our order. She brought the waters and 1 minute later our food arrived lukewarm. The potatoes were not cooked. We were never checked on again. Then the check came, but the extra bacon I ordered "to go" had not arrived. So she went to get that. We paid at the front with the hostess. It was an extra $5 for 2 pieces of bacon. $2.50 per slice. Is that inflation or price gouging? This is the first time in my life I have never left a tip. I'm usually a really good tipper. And I feel bad about it, but I also want to be taken care of in order to give a tip for good service. This was not good service and the food was mediocre. Would not return.

There is a lovely patio and plenty of seating inside but this is a popular spot for good reason! Service is cheerful and expedient throughout. We started with the Mexican cold brew coffee and it might be the best coffee I have had in the area!! It was OUTSTANDING!!! Get it! It's the perfect blend of cold brew, horchata, sweetened condensed milk and cinnamon and I think I could drink it everyday!! We each ordered a skillet, I had the chili relleno skillet with chicken and pancakes for the side and they must be putting magic in those pancakes because they were special. I'm not a big pancake person and I couldn't get enough. They were fluffy and yet they didn't fall apart and I could taste the vanilla they use in the batter. The skillet was massive and delicious and the rellenos were crisp all topped with a hearty portion of expertly prepared green chili. My husband had a different skillet and modified it to add extra proteins and also the rellenos. They were happy to accommodate. What a fabulous brunch experience! I wish I lived closer! I would certainly be a regular! This place is fabulous!!!!!

One side of the menu is breakfast only! The gravy was thick, an uncomfortable uncooked thick. I wouldn't personally recommend anything with the gravy, though the biscuit and the sausage were great. You could definitely tell the gravy was either reheated, or uncooked just because of how thick it was. My boyfriend ended up actually getting food poisoning from it, I bake consistently and eat a lot of uncooked flour/ rue so it didn't do a lot to me, but definitely did make me sick. End result, really wouldn't recommend. Haven't tried anything else but the two biscuits and gravies, so that's where the hope comes with the first star. Hopefully everything else is good. The service was great though, the lady was patient with me and our food came quickly (but that's where my possibly reheated gravy theory comes in) was it was too soon because it was reheated, and everything else was quickly made? It's very cute and cozy in there, if you want to look for a home like area.
