About This Place

Nestled in the heart of downtown Long Beach, Birdcage Coffee House is a charming and multifaceted café that seamlessly blends the warmth of a neighborhood coffee shop with the lively spirit of a beer hall and wine bar. This delightful spot is much more than your standard espresso bar or lunch restaurant; it’s an immersive experience where every detail—from the carefully crafted menu to the vintage décor and resident parrots—invites you to savor the moment.

The menu at Birdcage Coffee House truly celebrates the art of thoughtful, fresh ingredients with standout offerings like the Croissant Turkey Sandwich and Croissant Tuna Sandwich, both made to order with crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, melty cheese, and just the right touch of condiments and mayonnaise. Every sandwich is paired with a crunchy side of chips and a canned drink, making it a perfectly balanced and satisfying lunch option for just $9.49. If you have a sweet tooth, their Coffee Cake and Biscotti are delightful companions for any coffee pairing, while inventive beverages like the Mexican Mocha, Vampire Juice, and the rich Caramel Frappe Large add a creative kick to your usual coffee run.

What truly sets Birdcage Coffee House apart is the atmosphere. From the moment you step inside, a soothing layer of light jazz cascades through the softly lit, artfully decorated space adorned with vintage collectibles that spark curiosity and warmth. The peaceful vibe encourages you to slow down and relish each sip and bite. Patrons often mention the unique experience of having real parrots casually chatting near the patio, adding a whimsical and lively touch that feels almost cinematic.

Customers frequently highlight the exceptional hospitality here. One visitor shared how the owner’s genuine care transforms every visit into a personalized joy, making you feel like more than just a guest. Another reviewer affectionately described the coffee house as “right out of a movie,” emphasizing its blend of beautiful décor, friendly staff, and exquisite coffee and food. And for those who appreciate detail, the house pickled jalapeños and carrot side served with sandwiches bring an unexpected but delicious burst of flavor, perfectly balancing freshness and spice.

Whether you’re craving a thoughtfully prepared sandwich paired with a bold espresso, looking to unwind with a glass of wine or cider, or simply eager to soak up the comforting ambiance punctuated by soft jazz and fluttering feathers, Birdcage Coffee House offers a uniquely vibrant yet relaxed destination in Long Beach. It’s the kind of place that beckons you not just for a meal or a drink, but for a multifaceted experience that feeds the soul and the senses alike.

    This is now my personal favorite spot to go for coffee, tea and a light lunch in downtown Long Beach! The food and drinks were perfection with very fresh and flavorful ingredients. A wonderful pickled jalapeño and carrot side was served with the sandwich. Just check out my photos. There is so much vintage stuff to see at Birdcage!! Light jazz playing inside, peaceful vibe, gorgeous/healthy plants, and the owner is really sweet and cool I had the turkey sandwich and iced latte this time and look forward to going back to try more menu items. My friend enjoyed a wonderful iced tea and there was plenty sandwich for the two of us!

    Why did you use a restaurant? So at the thee, but since only a single person knows where I enjoyed standing in the queue for fifteen minutes, different experience small outlet worth the visit

    Everything about this place is so welcoming and beautiful! The owner is an absolute sweetheart and really wants to create the best experience for his customers- it's obvious from the time you walk in. There are real parrots near the patio, and they chit chatted while I enjoyed my brunch...too fun, and absolutely hilarious. My toasted parmesan cream cheese bagel (photos below), warm chocolate chip muffin, and hot vanilla latte was exactly what I needed to begin my day off. They accept: credit cards, visa, and cash...I tipped the owner as well because this place is simply so great. Very, very affordable!! I will be telling all my friends & family about my new favorite coffeehouse in Long Beach.
