The lighter, fresher plates on Kybelle's all-day menu in Shoreditch, with exactly what is in each one: smoked salmon and avocado, cilbir eggs, shakshuka, salad bowls, falafel wraps, matcha and teas.
Every week people search Google for healthy restaurants in Shoreditch and a healthy breakfast in London. Kybelle is an all-day café rather than a restaurant, but a good part of our menu is built on eggs, vegetables, leaves, yoghurt and fish. This guide picks out the lighter, fresher plates, says exactly what is in each one, and leaves the judgement to you.
A note before you read
We don't publish calorie or nutrition figures, so we won't put numbers on any dish or promise what it will do for you. Everything below comes from our live menu: dish names, ingredients and prices. On the menu, (V) means vegetarian and (VG) means vegan or a vegan option. If you have an allergy or intolerance, please tell a member of our team before you order; full allergen information for every dish is available in the café.
Lighter breakfast plates
Breakfast and brunch are served all day, so any of these works at 8am or at 3pm.
- Smoked Salmon, £14.00: smashed avocado, poached eggs, smoked salmon, baby rocket, micro greens and sumac. It is one of the top picks when you choose "Light & fresh" in the order helper on our menu page.
- Avocado'Croast', £13.90: a toasted croissant base topped with avocado, poached eggs, rocket and parmesan.
- Cilbir Eggs (V), £13.90: creamy garlic yoghurt topped with poached eggs, sautéed baby spinach and warm chilli butter, with toasted sourdough.
- Eggs Florentine (V), £14.19: poached eggs, grilled halloumi, baby spinach and hollandaise.
- Shakshouka (V)(VG), £14.50: slow-cooked tomatoes, aubergines and red peppers topped with poached eggs, with sourdough for dipping. It can be made without the egg; just tell us when you order.
- Mother on Earth (VG), £13.50: sautéed mushrooms, spinach and roasted peppers with vegan cream cheese.
Most of these use poached eggs, and most come with leaves or vegetables rather than hash browns. If you want the full works instead, the Vegetarian Breakfast and the Shoreditch Fry Up are on the same menu, so a table can order both ways.
Lunch: bowls and wraps
Lunch is served all day too, which suits a late start or an early finish.
- Salad Bowl, £9.99, with your choice of topping: chicken, salt beef, grilled halloumi or baked salmon.
- Falafel Wrap (VG), £8.50: falafel, pickle, aubergine, red peppers and hummus.
- Chicken Wrap, £9.50: chicken, halloumi, spinach and sweet chilli mayo.

What to drink
Our coffee is Ozone specialty coffee, and every coffee can be served iced: an espresso is £2.70, a Black Americano £3.30 and a Flat White £3.80. Our matcha is PerfectTed. A Matcha Latte is £3.90 and the flavoured matchas (strawberry, mango, blueberry, white chocolate and strawberry shortcake) are £4.50; every matcha can be served hot or iced.
Teas come from Nemi: Green Tea, Peppermint, Camomile and Lemongrass & Ginger are £3.30, and Breakfast Tea and Decaf are £3.00. Any coffee or matcha can be made with oat, almond, coconut or soya milk for 30p extra. Syrups (vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, mango or blueberry) are an optional 30p extra too, so if you prefer a drink without added syrup, simply leave it off.
Gluten-free and other needs
Our menu notes that vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available. Many of our plates are served on sourdough or a croissant, so please ask the team which dishes suit you before you order, rather than guessing from this page.
