About The Early Bird

A Plymouth brunch spot where the downstairs counter does takeaway coffee and pastries and the upstairs room handles the sit-down menu — worth knowing which you're after with a pram in tow. Tables aren't jammed together, so it stays manageable even when full, and the team moves fast: water and menus arrive almost before you've sat down, and food comes out quickly. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all sorted. Portions are generous for the price — the hashbrowns, macaroni, banana and bacon french toast and breakfast quesadilla all get raved about, and the maple pecan croissant is the pastry to order. Two snags: weekends bring a queue outside, so aim for 9–10am, and there's an optional service charge on the bill. One family loved the little skillet of Haribo eggs at the end.
