With a modern and hip space featuring emerald subway tiles, pendant lighting, sleek black trim and light wood tabletops, Shy Bird in Kendall Square is comfortable for any occasion. The all day rotisserie, bar and cafe offers a warm and affordable spot to grab breakfast, lunch, dinner or even weekend brunch.

Known for their rotisserie chicken (available as both half or whole birds), Shy Bird’s menu features a variety of hearty dishes and sandwiches, vegetarian options, small snacks and plenty of sides. The name is inspired by the red junglefowl, a tropical bird that the domestic chicken descends from, so you can expect plenty of chicken options. Their weekend brunch is the perfect balance of light bites like overnight oats with a smattering of brunch faves like chicken and waffles.

Aside from their food, they boast a serious beverage program with wines available by the glass or bottle, a variety of draft beers, cocktails and zero-proof cocktails.
