After the hurricane hit in 2005, Mockingbird Cafe was created to provide a safe space for everyone and to bring light in dark times. It has been known as the Living Room of the Bay, and it goes without saying that the ‘bird was and still remains, the calm after the storm.
Breakfast, or brunch if you’re a later riser, is a must-have at the ‘bird. With eggs served in a variety of different ways, chicken and waffles, and fluffy baked goods, there’s sure to be something you didn’t know you were craving.
