About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Birds Bakery and noticed something strange—a small bird kept circling the van's headlights. As he opened the door, the little creature flew straight into the shop, startling everyone inside. The bird fluttered around for a moment before perching on top of an old hat rack near the counter. Everyone burst out laughing as it seemed completely unfazed by the commotion. Later that day, someone joked that maybe Birds Bakery should change its name to ‘Baked with Love and a Little Bird’.
2. One foggy morning, an elderly gentleman walked into Birds Bakery carrying a large umbrella. As he approached the counter, the cashier announced over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please note that our new customer service policy requires you to leave your umbrellas outside.’ The old man looked confused for a moment, then removed his umbrella with a smile and placed it next to a pile of other opened parasols. After a few minutes, he ordered his usual croissant and coffee. Later that day, when another regular came in complaining about the cold weather, the cashier quipped: 'Maybe you should bring an umbrella—and don’t forget to leave it here!'
3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Birds Bakery and found something peculiar in the parking lot—a bicycle with no rider, its basket filled with freshly baked pastries. The driver looked around but saw nobody. Curious, he opened the basket and was greeted by the warm scent of croissants and pain au chocolat. Smiling, he decided to keep one for himself as a token of good luck—after all, free pastries were rare treats. The next day, when he returned, the same bike was there again, its basket full once more. This became a weekly ritual until someone finally asked the bakery owner if they had a secret pastry deliveryman.
4. In the wee hours before dawn, someone began leaving mysterious notes on the door of Birds Bakery. Written in chalk, they read simply: ‘Open when you smell our secret.’ One morning, a delivery driver arrived early and caught the scent of freshly baked bread wafting through the open door. He peeked inside and found rows upon rows of warm pastries, their aroma intoxicating. Turns out, it was just an overly enthusiastic baker who couldn’t wait for everyone else to wake up. The note? A prank from a neighborhood kid who loved Birds’ treats.
