Hey There
I’m Cierra McFarlin, founder, owner, and co-operator of The Mark 8 Café. I created this space out of a lifelong love for food, inspired by the Creole-Cajun flavors I adore and the brunch traditions I grew up with—especially the ones my great-grandmother, Birdie Mae, made so special. My hope is that this café feels like home for everyone who walks in, and I can’t wait to welcome you soon.
All About Us
Elevated brunch culture meets everyday ease—serving up a vibrant mix of breakfast, lunch, and brunch favorites alongside handcrafted cocktails and specialty drinks. Formerly known as Birdie Mae’s Brunch Bar, we bring a fresh, Creole-inspired twist to classic comfort foods, pairing bold flavors with a welcoming, lounge-style atmosphere. Whether you’re here for a lively brunch with friends, a midday cocktail, or a quiet corner to co-work and recharge, our space is designed to meet the moment. From fresh juices and smoothies to beer on tap, wine, and champagne, every offering is curated to balance indulgence and intention. Beyond the café, we extend our passion for food and hospitality through meal prep services and full-scale catering and banquet experiences—making The Mark 8 Café not just a place to dine, but a hub for connection, flavor, and community.
