Iron Bird Cafe lives on
Downtown coffee drinkers can look forward to life with Iron Bird Cafe again.
The shop — a centerpiece for Fresno’s burgeoning “Mural District” — closed in July, but a new owner appears to be coming to the rescue.
According to Alisa Manjarrez from local foodie site TasteFresno, Iron Bird Cafe will be re-opening under the direction of Ann McAtee, who owns the various Teazer World Tea Markets around town.
It’ll keep the IBC name but McAtee is “adding a few twists” and hopes to open by the end of the year, according to Manjarrez.
We’ll keep an eye on this and share more info as it’s known.

That is great to hear! Will go back again when I visit Fresno from DC.
YAY! I hope the twist is a unicorn.
SWEET! I’ll be walking over there from Studios 64 and hanging out.
Yay! But Teazer’s is super expensive. I hope “McAtee is adding a few twists” doesn’t mean “McAtee is adding a few dolla dolla bills to the price of every coffee drink.”
This is excellent news for Fresno.
Hooray!
The space was much too well designed to be destroyed.
Great to hear. Ann has shown that she can run a successful tea house in many parts of Fresno, Tower, Downtown, River Park. I look forward to spending time and money at IBC again.
Great news!
(woops, typed quickern’ I was thinking…(put email address instead of name:
all I meant to say was:
Great news!
Sweetness! looking forward to trying it out!!
Glad to hear this. Wondering how the new “twists” will work . . .
…good choice, good balance in craftsmanship on both sides.
