The Bluebird Cafe

The only problem with this Café is that it’s too small. Because they have the best pancakes and once people start going there you will have to queue up!

The banoffee pancakes are the best pancakes I have ever had. Scones are also some of the best (Nutella banana and jafa cake to name my favourites. It’s just too bad the place is so small! Highly recommend

My friends had been raving about the breakfasts at The Bluebird for months — so finally I was in the city early enough to go and check it out.
Everything about the place was just lovely. From the cosy space of the café itself to the friendly staff — it really lived up to its great reputation.
I went straight for the stack of buttermilk pancakes, bacon and maple syrup and was not disappointed. The pancakes were fluffy and sweet, the bacon crispy and smokey. I promptly smothered it all in the maple syrup and happily inhaled the lot.
The only thing that was wrong was that I was too full to eat the sourdough toast I had also ordered.
Next time for sure.

I’d read a few posts on Twitter recently about this café offering pulled jackfruit baguettes — pulled jackfruit being a vegetarian/​vegan alternative to pulled pork. Having not really sampled pulled jackfruit before (maybe once at a potluck) and the only place I knew of offering it was one of Glasgow’s vegan places, I was keen to try it.
I’m not really sure what the texture is meant to be like — soft or chewy. I had it with jalapenos, avocado, and vegan cheese (Violife) on a bed of nachos, so I just scooped it all up and inhaled. It wasn’t chewy, but having not eaten pork for over 20 years, a replacement wasn’t really something I was looking out for. Is pulled pork chewy? I have no idea. It was delicious anyway.
Service was great and the server said they’re looking at making some changes to the menu — which may include vegan pancakes. Will be looking out to see if that options makes the cut! You can sit in or takeaway.

This place has:
— Pulled pork sandwiches.
— Artisan Roast coffee.
— Nick Cave playing in the background.
Need I say more?

After following this on facebook, I really wanted to to try this piece of Nashville after seeing the series on tv.
It’s small inside, so can only fit a few folk in.
As I didn’t have anything to eat I can’t really comment on the food but there were a few soups on offer and also nutella banana scones. They do other things too — they have a menu for that!
They do artisian roast for coffee, so opted for my favourite espresso styled beverage — the flat white. It came in the typically sized cup for the choosen beverage but no rosetta. :(- I like my coffee art but this was a blob of froth at the top. :(
The toilet (males & females a like have to sharet his one loo) were clean.
I think if I’m in the area and needed some soup, I would come again as I haven’t written it off!
The interior is clean, bright and the staff are friendly too — which is always a plus in my opinion!

I popped into the Bluebird Café today on the way home from town, I had spotted it from the bus but hadn’t had a chance to visit until now, and I’m glad we did. On this occasion we only had time to takeaway, we opted for the two specials that were on offer a Pulled Pork baguette and a Chicken and Bacon with BBQ sauce Baguette, both packed full of filling and really tasty. We also bought one of their massive cheese scones and a millionaires shortbread, again both great. The takeaway menu has a variety of sandwiches and soups so a good choice. Service was great, the staff chatted away and were really friendly, recommending to us the Tennessee Buttermilk Pancakes for our next visit! Which I can definitely say there will be!

Had a quick lunch in this tiny little café the other day. The menu mostly consists of soups and sandwiches, along with some breakfast items like pancakes. I went for the soup and half sandwich combo, which made for a well-​priced, filling, and tasty midday meal. The ingredients were all fresh and high-​quality. Service was friendly and efficient.

When Blythe told me he’d checked out a new spot that he thought that I, in particular, would really like, I got quite excited and resolved to toddle along as soon as I could.
Oh Blythe. You were right, my friend.
Dinky as a daisy and blue as a cornflower, I can criticise this little joy in one way only — that it isn’t nearer to my house. Their «soup and half sandwich» deal for £4.95 is pretty breath-​taking — if that’s HALF a sandwich, I don’t wanna see a full one! You can choose the bread type for your butty as well — I went with a tiger baguette filled with chilli chicken mayo and yippity-​yum was I glad that I did. Good hearty soup to go with it, too, oh yes indeedy. That, along with a generous pot of tea, hit the spot for £7.15, which I reckon is pretty darned good going.
They also, as Blythe and Julie both mentioned, do Tennessee buttermilk pancakes (ZZZZZIP) so I will be back ere long to have a chompy brekkist here as well.
The menu is presented on a clipboard and the wall is adorned with the simple but rather effective conceit of spelling the name of the café in large letters, each printed on A4, popped on a clipboard and stuck to the wall. The only other piece of decoration on the wall is an adorable poster for the café’s Tennessee namesake, the famous acoustic music club.
Disclosure: I have never been the kind of person who has a yen to travel. Tennessee, however, is one of the only places in the world I have ever actually wanted to go to. And now I feel like I can trot on down there for pancakes any day of the week.

Taking over in the spot where Russian Passion used to ply its trade, the Bluebird Café is bright and fresh, with a menu of interesting items. I sampled very good soup, from a daily selection of four varieties, and quite a good hotdog. Their breakfast menu looks intriguing, with Tennessee buttermilk pancakes on offer. It might be a good spot for a Unilocaly brunch visit, but given it’s rather small there’d only be room for around ten people, I reckon.
Overall, we said: «the Bluebird Café looks to be starting from a very promising position. They have some kinks to iron out, and some menu typos to correct, but I think they have a strong chance of developing into a real local favourite. It’s a place that’s well worthy of a visit, I’d say.»
