Won't disappoint - Edit
Have visited Birdhouse 3 times now, and have never had anything I don't like.
Read moreStaff are really nice, good is delicious and it's dog friendly downstairs. I'd definitely recommend booking, especially with the limited space downstairs.
Pros: Good vegan options , Dog friendly , Great hot drink selection
Cons: Limited dog friendly seating , Often busy

Great vegan choice - Edit
Cool vibe, lots of vegan choices. Caters for meat eaters etc but vegan options are the sort you’d expect at a bespoke vegan place

Due a return! - Edit
The most beautiful interior and exterior, perfect when the weather’s good (we sat outside!) , photos provided🫶🏼
Read moreThey had a range of vegan options as well as vegan bakery bits too👀I had the vegan breakfast and my friend had the raspberry pancakes 😍both were incredible and I would definitely return to get some pancakes for myself too✨✨
Also staff were lovely I have to sayyy AND remember they have student discount too!!
Update: Returned twice! Got the raspberry pancakes which were lush and also the vegan benedict😋The second time I returned, I got the vegan benedict as well as a chai latte (which I love getting with brunch!) The benedict was good quality and well made and the “egg” had a tangy taste, would love to try more of the menu🫶🏼

Vegan benedict is divine! - Edit
Ah, I love it here. The food is consistently great and it's a fantastic option when eating out with non-vegan friends and family. The vegan benedict is so good, as are the pancakes. And of course an oatmilk 'tea fog'. Yum!

Wish I could give this place 5 ⭐️ - Edit
I’ve seen this place on Facebook and heard great things, so me and my partner decided to go for brunch! Really lovely place, lovely staff and amazing food. I had a blueberry & maple pancake stack with ice cream and opted to add vegan bacon! (Try it, great combo!!) and my partner went for the birdhouse vegan breakfast but was intrigued by the tempura mushrooms that they do on their Vegan Benedict, so he added them on as extra! The drinks choice was amazing too, I recommend the rhubarb and lemon iced tea! I was so full but when I went to pay, they had a great choice of brownies, so brought one home! Can’t wait to visit again!

Birdhouse - Edit
They were out of matcha both days I stopped by so I enjoyed a lovely green tea upstairs instead. They offer Oatly, thank goodness! Tons of vegan options on the menu, particularly for brunch. A few vegan baked goods too. My only regret was being unable to stop by for brunch, as the only day my friend and I were available was the day the restaurant was closed. Definitely a great option for brunch, so do try it!

AMAZING! Should be 5 stars - Edit
Honestly everything was superb. I had vegan Benedict with added potatoes. I’ve never seen/had anything like it, so inventive and tasty. They used silken tofu which was a pleasant surprise as it had that egg white texture and firm tofu is the easy option. Hollandaise sauce was amazing. Spinach tasted a little gritty but heyho, that’s spinach. Also tasted the pancakes and they were fluffy perfection. Hot chocolate- I could have downed 3, they were so good. Happy cow knocks a star off for none vegan places but this should be an exception.

A few friends and I went here for a Valentine's catch up. The food and drinks were lovely and everything is always presented nicely. There are always plenty if vegan options whenever I go here, so you'll always be catered for!

Lots of vegan options! - Edit
Had a tasty vegan benedict with This isn’t bacon and battered tofu for the eggs! Could have done with a bit more “hollandaise” sauce but was still delicious and unique as I have never seen a vegan benedict option before. Cute interior and lots of drink options too.

Good vegan options - Poor service - Edit
Plenty of vegan options (including pancakes!). Serves oat milk. Make your own Buddha bowl with lots of vegan choices was delicious. Oat chai latte was amazing. Good value. Would give 5* if able to because the food was excellent! Great service & nice atmosphere too.
Read moreEdit: been back several times & whilst they continue to offer good vegan choice the service is increasingly poor. Often make mistakes with orders. As most seating is located upstairs & staff are downstairs they ignore & forget about customers often. Frequently waiting a long time to be served, even when it’s not busy. Tables are not cleaned promptly & often have to eat at a dirty table. Buddha bowl has changed from make your own to a (small) set dish. Reduced rating to 3*
Pros: Nice food, Plenty of vegan options
Cons: Poor service

beautiful and delicious - Edit
I've been here twice and I loved it twice. Once I came for tea and cake (I had an oreo brownie) and once my friend and I shared the Buddha Bowl and had some matcha lattes to go with it. The food is nice and fresh, the matcha is fairly strong (be aware if you're new to matcha) and the vegan brownie and pancake options make it hard to decide. I'll definitely be back, the look and feel of the place alone are worth a visit, especially on a sunny day when the sun shines into the lovely big windows!

Good breakfast - Edit
The vegan breakfast was nice (except for the really salty beans) and there were a few different vegan choices including cakes. Unfortunately it took over 45 mins to get our order.

Delightful - Edit
We loved our trip to Birdhouse cafe today. We were greeted by friendly, smiley, sweet conscientious staff and got to sit at a lovely table with lots of natural light. We had a full vegan breakfast with yummy homemade beans, delicious tofu, tasty friend potatoes, tomato, good quality bread, vegan sausage and succulently braised spinach. Well presented. Really thought out. We also had a Buddha bowl with great vegan choices. Fresh, colourful, healthy, tasty, good value. Coffee was exquisite. Best I’ve had ever I think : ) Lots of unusual teas and drinks to try. Vegan puds too - Victoria sponge and Chocolate brownie. Will definitely be back. It's a great new space and we're happy it's there! Thank you lovely Birdhouse, your staff really care! : ) Sparkles and smiles H & S
