This place is paradise!! It was my first time and it won’t be my last! Don(the owner) helped me out at the register and made it so easy since I was new. He recommended the fish n chips which were sooooo good(especially with that salsa I had to ask for another one). Even though it got kinda busy this place holds well under pressure & the view is to die for
Very beautiful & aesthetic even having a cafe right next door! The best of both worlds for anyone traveling on the coastal highway and a must to pass by to enjoy good food & a magnificent view.

This is my first time coming to this place even though I’ve been out to bodega many times. I loved the vibe and how you ordered your food and then got a little vibrator to pick up your food when it was ready. I was a little bit bummed out that they were out of the crab roll, but I ended up getting the lobster roll, which was fabulous. They have lots of different seafood, and the people are really nice. The best part is the patio that looks over the water.
I highly recommend this place if you want some good quick seafood and do you want to sit outside during a nice sunny day.

We come to Bodega Bay regularly and decided to try something new today. Firstly, the employees are less than friendly. Never smile, say “you’re welcome”, nothing. Okay, no big deal. The food looks great when it comes out. One bite in, and I could tell something was off. We ordered fish and chips, fish tacos, oysters, and calamari. The not fresh obviously frozen fish was battered about a half inch thick in the most greasy, disgusting batter I’ve ever tried. The fish tacos had no flavor whatsoever, even after adding lime and lemon in hopes to cover up what little I could taste- grease. Their tartar sauce was awful. The oysters were tastless. The pros: plenty of outdoor seating, the fries were edible, and the calamari was good.

Beautiful patio overlooking Bodega Bay and delicious seafood. We had the lobster roll and the crab roll, both perfectly made and relatively reasonably priced. Also had 6 raw oysters, which were super fresh. Then we headed over to their soft serve ice cream shop for dessert, then bought a cool souvenir shot glass in their gift shot. A great one-stop-shop in Bodega Bay!

The Birds Cafe was a magical little gem and perfect for delicious food. We ended up having a great breakfast with a beautiful view. We even snagged some candy before we left! It was a wonderful experience and the atmosphere was just right for a relaxing morning.

The food was delicious, the wine decent, the staff very nice and accommodating, and the views gorgeous. So why not 5 stars? Lots of wasps when we were there. It was a weekday so had our choice of tables in all the outdoor “rooms” (all beautiful views of one kind or another). But the wasps know a great spot when they find one. Everywhere we tried to sit they were nearby and wandered over. With an allergic dog, trying to stay away from the wasps was our focus rather than enjoying everything else.
The restaurant can’t control where wasps go in the great outdoors. Without them though, it would have been a truly delightful lunch with a gorgeous view.

Late December 2025 The cluster of three stores: Restaurant, café, and gift shop are all casual and bayside attractions and destinations for visitors
The site celebrates the then popular Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds ⬛ which was then part of the prolific work of this ground breaking film maker. The film was shot in several areas of Bodega Bay town.
We only got to visit the cafe while the restaurant had a long queue and is known as a place to have the famed Hog Island Oysters of CA.
The cafe is simple, rustic, with a number of film decor
Expect American style cafe fare and coffee ☕️ culture
The nearby gift shop is worth a quick perusal

My husband and I made a quick lunch stop in Bodega Bay and stopped at Blackbird Cafe without reading reviews, just pulled in due to their patio overlooking the bay.
We had our socks knocked off by the fish tacos
I’m fact, we spent the rest of our 2 week road trip along the Pacific Coast up to Seattle talking about, and trying to find, fish tacos as good as these.
Parking is available although the lot is small and probably fills up quickly. The patio is large with a view of the bay.
They were busy, but service was fast.
A great stop for fish tacos!

Service was great and the atmosphere was amazing on the outdoor seating with the great view. It’s not too crouded and each table had plenty of room without bumping into the table next to you.
The food was average, I wouldn’t say better than others. The oysters were good but smaller than I expected. For the price and size of the clam chowder I was hoping it would be good but it fell short on flavor. My son ordered the lobster roll, he said it was good but felt like the portion was reallt small. Boyfriend ordered the fish and chips, definitely lots of breading but the fish was good and the fries normal. Beers on tap were good though and we always like trying out local beers.
If you want great atmosphere this is definitely the place.

We had to visit because what’s Bodega Bay if not experienced in the context of Hitchcock’s iconic movie, right?
The momentos were definitely educational and the right kind of companion while enjoying the pastries. The view and photo op definitely sets you in the mind set of “doing nothing”.
To top it off is the food at the main restaurant. My kids loved the grilled oysters! You’ve never had fish and chips until you try theirs and their lobster roll sandwich turns on lethargic taste buds only good seafood can do!
Fresh and fairly priced food choices, authentic service, and an ambience so rarely seen anywhere else, I’m already dreaming of coming back. So blessed to have made this core memory with my kids
