Birds & Bees Cafe

The combination of Colombian food and music creates a relaxed fiesta vibe at Birds & Bees Cafe in Everton Hills.

Many tables are arranged beneath the large undercover balcony overlooking the treetops, and parents will certainly appreciate the fully fenced children's play area complete with chalkboard and miniature tables and chairs. Look out for storytelling and craft activities during the school holidays.

Keen observers will notice the "clever bird" theme along one wall and the "busy bee" theme along the other, with plenty of homecooked food and single-origin Colombian coffee in the middle.

The Açaí Bowl is an excellent healthy breakfast option, and it would be difficult to go past their brekky burrito, eggs benny, or bacon and egg rolls. For lunch, there is a tempting Chilli Con Carne or even a steak sandwich.

Delicious Colombian specialties on the menu include empanadas (meat filled parcels), arepas (traditional corn bread), huevos pericos (scrambled eggs) and the hearty calentado (traditional workers breakfast). 

Superfood smoothies, herbal teas, Charlie's Juices, coconut water, and kombucha drinks provide plenty of options for quenching the thirst, and there are an enticing array of sweet treats to choose from at the counter.

Good to know – Birds & Bees Cafe welcomes dogs.

Need to know – There is plenty of car parking available onsite within the On Q Shopping Plaza.
