Flaky, Buttery, Housemade Every Morning
Early Bird Biscuit bakes fresh buttermilk biscuits from grandmother's recipe with real ingredients. Richmond's Fan District — open early, gone by afternoon.
The Buttermilk Biscuit
Tim Laxton started with his grandmother's recipe in 2014 — a gentle touch, lots of butter, classic buttermilk. We've been baking fresh every morning since.
From the Kitchen
Blanchard's Coffee, Our Way
We partnered with Richmond's own Blanchard's Coffee to build a custom Early Bird blend — and trained our baristas to pull it right.
