Today's Cafe- The Little Bird Bakery


The Little Bird Bakery on Avenue B is a homey affair, and having opened this past June, still feels like an East Village secret. You can easily set up shop with a laptop at the counter seating, or dally at the single window-front table. Prep yourself for a long day with their Counter Culture coffee($3 for the Iced Americano), guaranteed to keep you buzzing long after you’ve come and gone.

Feel virtuous without sacrificing good taste with their Bird Seed Granola ($6 to stay), topped with bananas and pears, speckled with pepitas and dried coconut and guaranteed to keep it’s crunch if you choose to take it to go for $4. Just be sure to floss afterwards! If you crave something sweeter and more easy to travel with, try the Walnut Spice Cookie, a super thick and aromatic cookie made hearty by a generous amount of oats.


Next time I’m going to try the perfectly seasonal sounding Pumpkin Apple Muffin ($3.50). I'm not of the gluten-free variety, but I'm sure friends who are will be glad to know there are many treat options to satisfy, including the Chocolate Cherry Bomb Macaron ($3.75)

Know before you go: The Little Bird Bakery is cash only.
