Bluebird Café

We stopped into this cozy spot on our way to the Glenwood Springs Hot Springs Pool. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and excellent coffee. Welcoming environment and a very friendly staff. The salmon quiche was unique and delicious. The fruit cup was probably one of the best I’ve ever had, which is kind of crazy in April!

We were in Glenwood springs for the Christmas holidays and one relaxing day we decided to visit Bluebird for a light lunch! I really liked their Vegetarian sandwich, very fresh and lighter! It came with a bag of chips!

The whole place had an amazing vibe! Live musicians and artistic painting and photographs on the wall! An eclectic experience!!

If you visit Glenwood Springs, you must visit this cafe!

Friendly staff, 3 great vegan options, and an incredible chef that is completely willing to listen to recommendations and feedback on other plant based options.
Ordered the bagel sandwich on an everything and it did not disappoint. Chef is fairly new here and when he came on there was just the avocado toast as a plant based option. He has since added two other options and is actively delightfully working toward adding more plant based options.
So thoughtful, friendly and helpful.
As a vegan visiting, I was very grateful for finding this gem of a lovely coffee shop that also had oat milk options.

I really liked the food and coffee at this place. The restaurant is cute and comfy. I would have given it a 5 star, but the lady at the register was a little rude (we were a party of nine and half the party had to leave earlier). She yelled asking us to clean our table. Otherwise, the place and the food is excellent.

Bluebird has the BEST indoor space in Glenwood. It is remarkably spacious, warm, comfy, and ideal for working by yourself or meeting with several people.

I was not pleased with the value of the food menu, however. When I pay $10+ dollars for a sandwich, I expect a large one with special bread and plenty of ingredients. I think there were only a few slices of turkey and there was no dressing or condiment…which would be fine but they do not offer mayo or mustard. (There was ketchup and hot sauce avail, but that’s it.) I just can’t imagine a sandwich shop without classic condiments.

To boot, I opted for the “fruit cup,” which turned out to be a shot glass of five pieces of fruit. See pic.

I do love this place, and the young staff who work here are sweet, but I felt compelled to write a review when the following happened - MORE THAN ONCE!

A couple walked in to get a coffee with leftovers in a boxed in their hands. The barista first thing said, “The signs says ‘no outdoor food.” She hadn’t even greeted them. They said they just wanted coffee to go, and still had to prove to her that they were leftovers. When the same sitch happened again I became wholeheartedly disappointed.

To end on a positive note, I will actually likely return to Bluebird. Its location, indoor space, and WiFi are unparalleled in the area, and the cheesecake does look feather good ☺️

Great atmosphere! Batista's were sweet and knowledgeable! I didn't know what I wanted to drink but said I wanted something sweet and hot! Best coffee I've ever had! Thank you haylie! Avocado toast was on point! Will definitely come back when we return to glenwood!

Great breakfast. Great coffee. Reasonably priced. 100% will come back again and again.

Fun little coffee/sandwich shop. Cool vibes and welcoming atmosphere for all. Had some sandwiches and coffee. Quiet place, folks working and soaking in the morning.

IMHO, this is just a coffee shop with no decaf, teeny goodies, and a collegiate art co-op vibe. I was struck by all the "empty plate" when they brought my food and the fruit in an espresso cup. Seriously. When I dumped it out, I did get 3 blueberries, but, that just doesn't quite cut it for me. Some reviewers apparently love the vibe, but I see why it gets such divergent reviews: you either love the vibe or it's just... "meh," which was what it was for me. I have no desire to return.

We had a poor customer service experience. We arrived right at opening and seemed to be an inconvenience to the girls working the counter. We did not receive a greeting of any kind, and were even ignored when we said good morning. The coffee was good and the atmosphere pleasant, but hospitality was seriously lacking.
