Vision
Parlor Bird will be an inviting, community-focused cafe with strong wifi, comfortable seating, potted plants, a cozy fireplace, and vintage decor. Parlor Bird is a space for connecting with friends and neighbors or taking some time for yourself to relax and recharge.
Parlor Bird will welcome area musicians to play live acoustic music during opening hours.
Mission & Values
Parlor Bird is a community cafe that encourages you to relax, listen to acoustic music and connect with neighbors of all ages.
​
Our mission is to create a safe third space (outside of home and work/school) that empowers Somervillians to spend quality time together, learn something new or simply enjoy a warm beverage on a couch with a book.
​
We serve locally sourced, high-quality food and beverages and adhere to sustainable and environmental best practices.
​
We value the individual flavor that our customers and staff bring to our neighborhood.
​
We partner with local art- and music- focused organizations that help our community thrive - amplifying their work by providing a welcoming space that’s accessible on foot, on wheels or by public transit.
