The Song Bird - Art Studio & Coffee House is a cafe on Cambridge Avenue in Ashhurst, a small town at the foot of the Ruahine Ranges, a short drive from Palmerston North. Its name puts two things together, an art studio and a coffee house, and Open Locally lists it under cafes, so coffee is the reason to sit down there.
The studio side of the business is the one that gives the place its name, and the cafe is the part a visitor comes to first. In a town the size of Ashhurst, a place where you can have a coffee and look at art is an unusual pairing, and it sets the business apart from the cafes that serve only food and drink.
