Breakfast To Go At Two Birds Bakery Cafe

Tucked away just one block from Main Street in De Pere is Two Birds Bakery Cafe, a small breakfast location that I drove past often and yet never stopped at to try. There is something odd about the building when you only know it from sight– clearly a bank at point point. Is it drive thru only? Do you order at the window? What’s there?

I now have the answers to those questions. You can go inside to order. You can also order at the window. There are a variety of breakfast options, baked goods, and drinks to try out from their menu to please any pallet. Upon first visit, it’s certainly hard to decide on what to get. I recommend checking out the online version of the menu ahead of time if you want to go inside to order. The indoor waiting area is tiny with almost all of the interior of the building dedicated to their cookspace. It’s a sight to see.

I live close by, so ordering to go and taking my breakfast home did not result in any kind of texture loss in the bacon breakfast burrito that I ordered for the morning. It’s very well wrapped by the staff, and it took them practically no time to get it to the counter for me. Thirty seconds passed between the arrival of my dragonfruit lemonade and the burrito after that. In the amount of time it took me to get out to my car, there were multiple cars in the drive thru that also appeared to be moving through their orders quickly

I took the burrito home, unwrapped the foil, and discovered that they did the hardest part perfectly. This fully loaded burrito was not only stuffed to the gills, but also cut in half so I didn’t have to eat through multiple layers of tortilla at the end before getting to the filling itself.  It was like eating a traditional breakfast of bacon, egg, home fries, and cheese in a handheld package. Well seasoned on its own, I treated it like any other american breakfast with a liberal application of ketchup from home.

The lemonade itself is handmade in the building, and that delicious work was augmented wonderfully by the flavored dragonfruit syrup that I ordered with it. The 24 ounce container carried me through til noon, and I caught myself wishing I ordered a larger size to have it to sip on for longer skill. Their drink menu rotates frequently, but this dragonfruit variety appears to be available at nearly all times.

And this was my very limited breakfast order. They also serve quiche, strata, and a myriad of other baked goods alongside an extensive drinks menu. I’ve heard good things about this little gem for some time now. I regret not making my way to such a nearby location sooner. I’ll be back to try out their other offerings, but in the meantime, I can only encourage you to do the same if you’re often in the West De Pere area of town.
