Breakfast is back at Ivywild School — so are pastries and baked goods. Bluebird Breakfast and Yellow Brick Bake Shop are now open at the community-market-meets-food-hall hub. Along with renewed early coffee service at the long-time favorite Principal’s Office, the openings officially mark the return of mornings at Ivywild.
The changes come as part of the recent ownership shift between partners Blue Star Group and Bristol Brewing Company. Respective owners Joseph Coleman and Mike and Amanda Bristol partnered revitalize the former elementary school into a favorite local gathering place in 2013. As Coleman focuses on reimagining and reopening his Blue Star restaurant across Tejon Street, along with others including Stellina Pizza Cafe, the Bristols acquired full ownership of Ivywild School.
“We’re excited to bring breakfast back to Ivywild School,” Mike Bristol says. “Mornings in the building are quieter, so there’s more of a relaxed coffee shop vibe for remote workers or neighbors meeting for coffee and a scone. But it’s also great for someone who wants to pop in the back entrance and order a breakfast burrito to-go on their way to work.”
Bluebird Breakfast
Bluebird Breakfast has those burritos as part of a simple menu of hot breakfast items that also includes an omelet and French toast, plus fresh breakfast pastries from Yellow Brick Bake Shop and craft coffee from the Principal’s Office.
