Birdcage Comics Cafe - San Bernardino, California

I recently went to a truly unique coffee shop and had an exceptional experience. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. What sets this place apart is the live art class they had going on, where students were drawing a live person model—such a creative and inspiring atmosphere! They also sell unique books and comics, adding to the shop's distinct charm. The food was good, and the lively ambiance made our visit even more enjoyable. There's plenty of seating, so you can comfortably settle in and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this coffee shop for anyone looking for a vibrant and unique spot to relax.

My husband and I have been passing this place on our way home from work and I so regret not stopping in sooner! The atmosphere of the shop is unlike any other in the area with really rad decor, cozy lighting, and art everywhere. There are comics available for purchase - small publishers / artists - and a library of comics and zines you can check out while hanging out. It’s a great way to discover new artists! I’m already obsessed with Hyena Hell who I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t come here.

The drinks and food are really good with plant based options and a lot of unique flavors for lattes. The smoothies aren’t too sweet, which I love, and their sandwiches are killer.

Love this place!

Wow.
I’ve been recommended this place since it opened and I regret not coming here sooner. The whole inside is covered with beautiful art and thoughtful posters (less “Hang in there baby!” And more “Colonization Never Ended. It just evolved.” Followed by amazing graphs and education. (I am a huge fan of this))
Daniel took my order and he was excellent. He told me about a zine about the birth of this incredible space and it’s beautifully illustrated. Such a lovely way to show people how much blood, sweat, and tears go into running a small business.

I got a hot latte (excellent) and a breakfast bagel with pepperoni (phenomenal and fantastically priced) and I’m currently waiting on another breakfast bagel to bring to my husband it was that level of good.

This spot is a unique gem who’s focusing on the owners love and passion for comics and community and I cannot wait to support them fully.

Thank you again for an incredible morning guys. I hope to be seeing y’all soon.

Great hidden gem that is easy to miss! It's located in a nondescript shopping center but the food and atmosphere are worth seeking out. The croissant breakfast sandwich was delicious! If you're in the area, check them out!

The turkey sandwich talks to me like the green goblin suit every time I come here . And I'm fueled like I just had some Popeyes spinach. Also Lavender lemonade is ridiculously tasty . I literally haven't had bev or food here that wasn't delicious. The owners are sweethearts. Probably the friendliest cafe I ever went into ✨

This is definitely going to be one of my new spots! It’s absolutely adorable inside. Good amount of outlets for longer study/work visits. And don’t even get me started on the hand drawn comics they have. The comics feel so personal and vulnerable and I could spend hours there just reading those. Coffee was amazing, sandwich was amazing! Please give this place a try. I am so excited to go back, I literally can not wait.

A nice, quiet, and positive place for local artists to promote their art, and relax in a comfortable atmosphere. The employees are warm and inviting, and the vibe is immaculate here. Will definitely be making this place a regular stop.
-I had the turkey sandwich, and a caramel latte with oat milk. Their produce is top tier! The satisfying crunch of that sandwich alone was enough to being me back in! The coffee was the perfect amount of sweet and went down easy.
(My pal got a plain bagel and an iced coffee) I was able to chat with her and even grab a comic on my way out!

Support this local place! They are great!

Came in here for the first time today for a coffee and turkey sandwich. Everything was perfect from the food, coffee, friendly staff and atmosphere.
I especially loved the Palestinian posters on the wall. Thank you for spreading awareness as a Palestinian, you’ve earned my respect and business for life?
