    US$17.95 per person

    Multiple dates available
    Work from Shy Bird is like co-working, but at a restaurant, so better. The $17.95 price includes a choice of breakfast or lunch and bottomless coffee, tea, espresso drinks with a couple minor exceptions. We have many amenities conducive to working like second screens, dongles, printing, etc. WFH is cool and all but sometimes it's nice to get out in the world, right?

    The chicken and waffles were good—perhaps a thick buttermilk waffle might compliment the chicken and honey-sriracha sauce better. The Belgian liege waffle w pearl sugar was good, but was almost too sweet when paired with the honey sriracha sauce 😅

    Food and service were fantastic. I had the chicken sandwich and it couldn’t have been better. Service was great, never had an empty water glass or had to wait for requests.
