Nibble
Anne-Marie Pattenden, Food & Drink Writer
Nibble NQ is the ideal place to sip a spiced pumpkin latte whilst people-watching through prettily painted windows. Think houseplants, pastel colours and soft furnishings – all things relaxing, warm and friendly. Best of all, owner Lauren Irlam is the perfect host, happily involving customers in kitchen conversations as she cooks her hand-crafted menu.
The fried breakfast potatoes are an excellent brunch at any time of year. Light yet flavoursome sweet potato purée, perfectly fried egg with a runny yolk, picked red onions, kale and, of course, the spiced hummus and vegan feta. All enhanced with dots of salsa verde.
The spiced squash crisp butty is an excellent vegan option – earthy, satisfying, and full of flavour. A handmade toasted hoagie roll is stuffed full of spiced carrot hummus, potato matchstick crisps, pesto dressed kale and a chilli crunch.
While eating, you take in not only the incredible-looking home-baked goods, including gooey brownies and fresh out-of-the-oven muffins, sitting at the counter but also mugs and other giftable items emblazoned with Nibble’s signature message of female positivity: Girls Can Do F*cking Anything.
There’s even a small but perfectly formed book swap featuring actually good books, the likes of Candace McCarthy’s Queenie and The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood. Just one of the many reasons to settle in for the day at Nibble.
