Great place to get frozen yogurt. The selection of topping are great, and the selection of frozen yogurt flavors is amazing! The price is the best part. Got 6 frozen yogurts and gave a tip for $33 will definitely be making this a regular stop after visiting the zoo and aquarium.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Little Sparrow Cafe today, and it was a great experience. Their espresso beverages are top-notch: rich, smooth, and expertly crafted with rather unique flavors. What also stood out were their unique soda options; the variety added a delightful twist to the usual café offerings. Service was impressively fast and courteous, making the visit even more enjoyable. The menu is extensive, catering to a wide range of tastes, and everything I tried was delicious. The cozy atmosphere of the cafe adds to its charm, making it a perfect spot to relax and savor quality food and drinks. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! I didn't try any of their food items, but it seems like they have a few interesting things on their menu.

Great sandwiches and friendly staff. We sat at a table on the patio and under a tree and looking towards the church and the old square which was lovely - similar to the squares in Taos and Santa Fe, but much quieter.

Great little cafe. Very friendly. Great service. We got the frozen yogurt. It hit the spot. Right on the square/plaza in Old Towne.

Love the employees here! We tried 3 places in old Town to find a restroom when our 2 year old had to go potty (when she says she has to go, we have 2 minutes to find a potty). Little Sparrow Cafe let us use the employee restroom because the public ones were full. Frozen yogurt is also amazing, thank you!
