Love this place. Nice coffee, friendly staff, love the murals on the walls. Recently tried the scones and croissants and they were pretty good too. Note they close fairly early (2pm) so make it a morning stop.

This is the sweetest little coffee shop in my neighborhood. Great lattes, but don’t miss some of the interesting tea lattes they have. The London Fog and the Misty(? Rooibos, honey and lavender) are delicious. The large murals on the walls are gorgeous too.

Good coffee. Nice shop. Unique with the bird friendly theme. Always glad to find a neighborhood, corner coffee shop. As per my own criteria, any shop that starts at a 12oz cappuccino loses a star, unless that 12oz drink is amazing. But a 12oz cappuccino in a to-go cup is usually/often not the most fabulous drink. SC is a good place to sit and meet and read and there is seating on the sidewalk. Parking is on the street and you may have to walk a little. These little shops are good oases in the neighborhoods around town. Well done SC

I liked the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Good service and glad they use cage-free eggs.

I had their light roast and a delicious lemon blueberry scone! I enjoyed the charming artwork and all the windows, being a corner shop.

I started frequenting Sparrow when the neighborhood Dunn Bros. locations changed to Jones (I'm not a fan), and realized I should have been going to Sparrow all along. Whether I'm getting a cup there, or brewing up some of their beans at home, the coffee is consistently good. Their baked goods are really delicious too, especially the triple berry scones.

They have gluten friendly options! From scones and cupcakes to cookies, they have plenty of options for gluten sensitive needs. The murals on the wall are gorgeous and well worth seeing in person, the baristas are friendly and helpful and, of course, the coffee is delicious. They have outdoor seating available for warmer days and a cute little patio with flowers right next door, making it the perfect place to sit in the early morning sunshine and sip on some coffee.

Great (bird friendly!) coffee and friendly service. The artwork inside is awesome. We sat inside but there was outdoor patio seating too. Will be back again soon. This is a great neighborhood coffee spot!
