Two Birds Cafe

Two Birds Cafe is a Collingwood neighbourhood cafe with roots as a small corner shop serving residents and office-goers near Smith Street. It still offers a quick coffee and takeaway menu, while its expanded ground-floor space provides a broader setting for a more leisurely visit.

The cafe’s current offering centres on modern brunch staples and specialty coffee roasted by Code Black Coffee. The menu changes with the seasons, with a focus on using fresh produce and supplies sourced from ethical and sustainable producers. The cafe says it prioritises recycled, organic, local and sustainable products where possible, including organic bread, free-range eggs, natural honey and locally sourced fruit and vegetables.

Designed by Dankor Architecture, the space combines rustic industrial details with a more considered, architecturally designed interior. That evolution reflects the cafe’s shift from a tucked-away local shop into a larger venue, while retaining its connection to the Collingwood community. It suits locals and nearby office workers looking for coffee, takeaway or brunch in a setting away from the busiest stretch of Smith Street.
