Bluebird, a café and bakery in Unley

Café & bakery
Unley Road, Adelaide

Good coffee, things from the oven and long breakfasts, five minutes south of the city.

The front counter first thing in the morning: a glass cabinet of croissants, scrolls and sourdough on green tiles, the espresso machine behind.

Hello

We're a small café on Unley Road. Everything in the cabinet is baked here before the sun's up, the coffee comes without a lecture, and there's always a water bowl by the door.

Pull up a chair.
