    Cute
    Madison P.

    Overall: super cute local cafe with fun syrups, coffee drinks, pastries, and light eats The service was kind. My coffee came out very quick, but my sandwich took over 10 minutes. I had a half calf lavender Americano. I liked that the lavender wasn't too sweet, but probably could have asked for more pumps because the lavender was very subtle. The breakfast sandwich was fine- nothing notable. The ambiance was super cute and inclusive.

    Really nice space inside and the staff are so friendly. Their breakfast burrito is one of the best I've had and their cookie butter cake slice is so delicious! I unfortunately wasn't a huge fan of their coffee. I tried their Pisces seasonal drink in March which was a lemon based latte and it wasn't a hit for me. Later on I also tried their cookie butter latte and still didn't find it great. I do prefer my coffee on the sweeter side and didn't feel it was at my level. I would definitely come back for the food!

    Sleeping bird is always a 5 star experience for me. Line is always long but moves so quickly! Staff is so efficient. Tried the specialty cream cheese- garlic pepper Parmesan and it was so good. As always- have to have a cinnamon roll. Cookie butter latte was also good! Shop was clean and well kept.

    Driving by and decided to stop in for a drink. Ordered the raspberry iced tea. It's so fresh and delicious. The staff is always so friendly and their selection of baked goods is amazing! Cute little spot for breakfast or lunch and plenty of parking on the side of the building.

    Made a stop in Delaware from Philly to Virginia specifically to try this place and we're so happy we did! They make their coffee syrups and pastries in-house! We tried the bread pudding, brown butter caramel latte, cookie butter flat white, the eagle and loaded breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious and we were so impressed!! The ambiance is a cute, local coffee shop and their service is friendly and fast. Recommend every single thing we tried, but highly recommend that brown butter caramel latte! My husband said it was the best coffee he's ever had!

    Espresso macchiato. Flavor fantastic presentation average.

    Great espresso here. They also have some little different food, items, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, avocado, toast, Chia pudding, bagels, bagel, sandwiches, etc. But they definitely have the best espresso around. My favorite drink is their espresso macchiato. Presentation average but they do use an almond milk here that is very good. I believe they said the name was pacific and it does not have that weird aftertaste. Although my favorite is elmhurst.

    This place is super cute. Small inside, maybe like 6/7 tables. They have some outside seating out back (I think). I think the breakfast sandwich was okay. The pastries they had looked very good! We really wished they would keep some of the donuts in this location. We couldn't try any of them at our visit! They opened a brand new location so this location carries 0 now :(

    Added avocado to the BLT - and a matcha, 12/10

    Quick and delicious food, quality portions, friendly service and clean cafe! Free WiFi to sit and work while you eat.

    Really cute cafe on Miller Road. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They have free WiFi and quite a few tables inside. Come try the menu for lattes and teas, breakfast and lunch and enjoy the atmosphere.

    I enjoyed my lemon ricotta French toast, sausage, and iced latte. My companion enjoyed her eggs…read moreBenedict, hash browns, and cappuccino. Overall, I would go back (lots of things on the menu I would love to try) but there are some considerations that might make it lower on my list: --It's a tiny place, like 16 seats --If they're full, you will be uncomfortably close to other diners --The hash browns are something else entirely...it's like someone filled a sheet pan full of potato latke ingredients, pressed it and made it dense, cut it into 1x1x5 inch sticks, and then deep fried it to a burnt brown (wtf!). It tasted like a latke crossed with a hush puppy. Also be aware that it's walk-in only and you pay when you order (so you have no way to express your dissatisfaction with the so-called hash browns). It's street parking in a residential neighborhood but I luckily got a great spot. Obviously this review got a little snarky. So let me repeat that I was happy with my food and think the menu is great. I only deducted one star!

    Wanted to try someplace new and this popped up. Headed on down and couldn't find them as Google…read moreMaps showed them near the end of the street. They're a little further down on the corner. Keep going to the stop sign. When you're at the stop sign look across the street to the left and they're right there. I got lucky and found street parking right in front of their door. Walked in and they were packed. One tiny table open squashed between two others and the bar were my options so I sat at the bar. I try to pay cash at Mom & Pops place so they're not hammered by the credit card fees. They were low on change and recommending credit cards. I dug around in my pockets and found exact change. They were all out of pastries but one. I wanted to try their pasties de nada but all that was left was a croissant so I ordered it, along with their French toast and an oatmilk cappuccino. Turns out the croissant was already purchased by another patron who was going to have it after their meal. It hadn't been served yet. I received a refund. A couple showed up and sat at the bar as all the tables were full. Then someone else showed up and pointed at the seat I had my coat on saying they were told to sit there as it was the last seat open in the entire place. Packed. The French toast came out in good time but somehow my cappuccino got lost in the mix. It was immediately made and brought out. The French toast is as good as everyone says it is. Light, well filled, great flavor without being too sweet. I was trying to eat it all but had to stop 3/4 of the way as somehow it's filling. The cappuccino is also very good. I made the mistake of wanting to try them out at 11:45 on a holiday. 100% my bad. Considering there are only 3 people working the entire establishment, they did a great job. The food and drink were totally worth it and I will be back (at a less busy time)! *Quick add: I usually don't post while in the establishment but did here. Even with it being busy the owner came by to talk about the review and share a little about their business. They do evening events, private dinners. They also host guest chefs. Their goal is to elevate dishes, which is exactly what they did to the French toast. Based on this one breakfast I would definitely consider them for any function I was hosting in the area.

    Tried this place as it has straight up 5 star reviews on Yelp. Street parking was no problem…read more Walked in and was greeted by the gentleman behind the counter. There were two small groups of people noisily chatting away, the entire place was giving friendly vibes. The person behind the counter asked if it was my first time there, if I prefer hot drinks (yes), and that anything they have listed on their iced menu can be done just as well hot. He then asked what my regular drink was. I shared it was a cappuccino, and I do try some syrups, but don't like things that are too sweet. He then suggested a smoked chestnut cappuccino- I was in. I also ordered their "vegan" hummus sandwich, and one of the incredible looking prepackaged cinnamon rolls for later. The cappuccino was large. He had a metal lid on it that was set on fire. After a little he quickly put the lid on so the smoke was trapped in the cup. It was an interesting flavor, not sweet, I did enjoy it. The vegan was a very fancy open faced affair served with chips. It was a very good light meal. The gentleman who made the sandwich - the same guy who made the cappuccino - asked me by name how everything was. I can't remember my own name most days so the attention to detail was seriously impressive. After noting all the attention to detail I started looking up the owners info. Wasn't on their Instagram (which I did follow) but was buried somewhere on their website. The gentleman is Aaron, a trained chef who worked around the U.S. and France. Samantha is an established mixologist. No wonder their food and drinks are outstanding in flavor and presentation. Whenever I'm in the area I'll definitely be back. Check them out!

    This has overall been the best place for coffee in Wilmington I've tried and I definitely need to…read morecome here more. I've only been in 4-5 times and I'm pretty sure I need to bailing on the other places I've most frequenting because they lack consistency or the level of coffee here. I agree with all of these other reviews.
