Music Bingo this Saturday! 🎤🎸🎵🎶

🎉 After all this rain, we are READY for a gorgeous weekend ahead! And what better way to celebrate than with Music Bingo this Saturday at Saudé Creek.

We’ll be open late until 9pm, with Music Bingo from 6–9pm hosted by fan‑favorite Patrick Ryan Music. Get ready for laughs, great music, and a little friendly competition.

The Scottish Pig will be onsite serving up their amazing BBQ, and of course — we’ll have the wine.

Grab your friends and come kick off the sunny weekend with us! 🍷🎶

We’re excited to officially kick off the Richmond Times-Dispatch Best of Richmond nomination round for Best Coffee Shop. ☕❤️

A little late making the post, but thanks to all of you it already looks like Early Bird Cafe has been showing up as a write-in nomination before we even announced it. That support truly means everything to us.

Over the past few years we’ve proudly placed 2nd, but this year we’re pushing hard for that number one spot and we want to bring our staff with us. The team behind Early Bird shows up before sunrise, works long event days, battles the heat, the cold, and the chaos, all while continuing to serve this community with heart. They deserve this recognition more than anyone.

If Early Bird has ever been part of your mornings, events, routines, or family traditions, we’d love your support.

HERE’S HOW TO HELP:
• Scan the QR code below
• Find the “Best Coffee Shop” category
• Nominate Early Bird Cafe
• Vote once per day through May 27

As a thank you for supporting and helping spread the word, we’ll also be giving away a $50 Early Bird Cafe gift card.

Winner will be announced May 27. ❤️

Thank you for believing in us, supporting local, and helping put one of New Kent’s favorites on the map
