About Us
Born and raised in the Downingtown/West Chester area, the creative duo, Jess and Justin, have called Chester County home their entire lives. Justin has had a passion for the food industry since he started as a dishwasher in a restaurant at 15 years old. From that moment on, he knew that crafting delicious cuisines in a kitchen is where he would thrive.
Jess, like Justin, knew from a young age that the creative world of cuisine is where she wanted to grow. After attending Ithaca College, Jess made the decision to enroll in and attend culinary school. From there, it was history.
The husband and wife team dreamed about opening a breakfast and lunch spot for over five years. They wanted to remain local and establish a cozy neighborhood atmosphere while offering food that they themselves would enjoy in their home. With their affinity for seasonal ingredients, dishes made from scratch, and even sourcing and creating the jams for toast, they would begin to build their menu. With Justin and Jess’s passion for food, they would come to create the most comforting breakfast and pastry menu that would soon be brought to reality at Two Birds Cafe.
Think walking through the door of a cafe; the kind smiles of locals invite you in as you smell the aroma of freshly baked breakfast pastries rising in the oven behind the counter. A wide selection of cinnamon buns, scones, and Crumb Lovers lay neatly placed behind the glass for you to browse. Look up and the breakfast and lunch menu offers locally sourced and fresh ingredients in every dish. A collection of native honey and jams rests on the counter next to the register. The perfect gift to snag on your way out the door for a friend, family member, or as a sweet and thoughtful thank you to someone who deserves a little something.
GIVING BACK TO
THE COMMUNITY
Whether it's monetarily or through actions, we can do our part to give back and to provide a better world for those around us. Jess and Justin have always supported non-profits privately, including many donated private dinners for galas, being on committees, etc. and we now have the opportunity to support these organizations through Two Birds Cafe. These are just a few of the organizations that they have been active with over many years and will continue to support them, i.e. recently donating private dinners for their charities.
