We stopped by for coffee as it was the only coffee shop close by that we were aware of that did coconut milk. The coffee was lovely but the brownie was incredible. It's definitely a must have if you're going here for coffee, or it's worth the visit alone. The girl who served us was lovely.
Dishes are great coffee is in my opinion is made consciously and perfectly and balanced, fresh orange juice made on site, and a variety of sandwiches
My favourite coffee in London. The Birdhouse team are all great and the food is delicious as well - generous portions and always beautifully presented. So lucky Birdhouse is near me, I always pop in when I can.
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!
My husband and I have taken my son here a number of times to grab a snack after school but never again. I went here today with my husband and son to get a coffee before his school rugby game. The place was over half empty and the waitress was visibly irritated when we asked to move two 2-person tables together so my son could sit down, though we reassured her we would only be 10 min as we had to be somewhere. I ordered my coffee and I saw the waitress consult with the other server. He then came over and told me I could not take up two tables if all of us didn’t order something. He was incredibly rude. I guess they’re rather have an empty cafe than customers.
Absolutely one of our favourite cafes in Clapham! Coffee is fantastic, love the food, especially the bocaditos, and the staff are always friendly! What more can you ask for! Note: I already had a sip from the coffee before I took the photo (too impatient), so if you want to critique the coffee art, that is my fault!
Loved the Mocha and Banana bread when I came to visit. The yellow coffee cups are so cute too. All these and the cheerful staff makes it worth a second visit for sure :)
One of my favourite cafes. Run by a Cuban and a kiwi, this is reflected in the menus, with both smashed avocado and bocaditos on offer. While both of these are great, it's actually the coffee that sticks in my mind as outstanding, using a milder roast which allows for those fruitier flavours to shine through. The staff are pleasant and attentive. Also child and pet friendly.
Tasty brunch sat at the tables outside at the front. Interesting menu choices and all beautifully presented. Good coffee. Banana bread was delicious too!
