Had lovely time at the Little Bird Kitchen. It’s a nicely decorated modern cafe , which offers vegan food and raw deserts. Staff were friendly and helpful. I had Vietnamese crape - very savoury, filled with avocado, salad and cashew nuts - it was flavourful and had lots of different textures. The raw chocolate and raspberry brownie was delicious - chocolaty and not too sweet. I am impressed they try to make matcha in a traditional Japanese way - hand whisked. However, mine had a little too much water but the matcha flavour was good, just the right amount of bitterness. A little complementary sweet on the side would be a nice touch… Other than that, great place for lunch if you like vegan food. P.S. Not cheap but OK as a treat.

If you’re gonna get smth to drink here, get the Matcha latte!! Lightly sweetened w agave and served in the cutest bowl!! The acai bowl was alright (it was less creamier than we expected) but still flavourful. We loved the dosa wrap and the bird quinoa bowl <3 great vibes, great service
