The place is such an immaculate vibe (accidental renaissance), the staff is so kind and approachable, I absolutely loved the food. I stayed quite a while, as I had time to kill, waiting for a train, the place was inspiring, and they didn't mind me taking my watercolours out while sipping my coffee. Absolutely loved it!
My husband and I visited the Birdhouse on the 1st of April, 2023 - It was a brisk day. We live in the Caribbean, so walking around in this 5 degree weather was chilly and refreshing. Our first stop for the day was this lovely café, with yellow dishes and accents throughout. We were sat in the back–it was so cozy! We sipped on our cappuccinos and waited patiently for an avocado toast to share. The only bad thing I have to say is that we didn't order two, because it was pretty dang good, but, we did plan to eat our way through Clapham that day, so, sharing was a must that morning! Staff was pleasant - I'd for sure return for a morning coffee if I'm ever back in London/Clapham area again! I have to say some of the negative comments in Google reviews make me giggle. People complaining about their dogs not being allowed, almond milk separating (It does, all the time, no matter how fresh...) or their kids having to sit on their lap (What did anyone ever do without prams or highchairs back then?!) The café is tiny, so house rules must apply and we, as guests, must respect them in order for the day to flow. Lastly, humans can make mistakes, and some of these negative reviews I believe shouldn't even count for their star rating, because it's just cranky people not getting their way. Cheers Birdhouse!
The food was really good and also the service was kind! The only thing is that for the size of the serving it was a little bit pricey. But nevertheless it was a good breakfast!
