The Birds and the Beans Espresso Bar

I have been a customer at this coffee shop for more than 2 years, even though there are coffee shops closer to my house. The coffee here is consistently excellent, which is why I keep coming back. The exceptional service alone is enough reason to return, Si and his team truly make customers feel appreciated. In my opinion, The Birds and the Beans is the best coffee shop on the Sunshine Coast, by a long shot.

The coffee was not good, with a bitter and sour taste. The service was also poor, with staff who seemed unfamiliar with the area or possibly under new management. Despite seeing good reviews, my personal experience was unsatisfactory. I do not plan on returning to this restaurant.

I decided to dine at this restaurant because they are dog-friendly and have received excellent reviews, and I'm so happy I did. They warmly welcomed both my party and my dog to sit at one of their outdoor tables. I enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee and an almond croissant. I would recommend improving their signage, as we initially drove past the restaurant without realizing it was the one we were searching for (the garage sign is still quite prominent).

We stopped in after seeing rave reviews but were left underwhelmed. First of all I have to say, the almond croissant was very tasty and very fresh which we loved.....but the coffee was just average. The interior needs a bit more atmosphere, it’s quite dreary and damp.

Great service and clearly popular while we all observed social distancing. They offered $2 anniversary coffees. Delightful old world building at the top of a Buderim. Recommended.
