The 50 best coffee shops and best cafes in West Midlands

I was drawn in by the lovely smell of coffee when I walked past. I just about found a table for two of us as it was quite a busy time. Service was generally good. I had a flat white which is usually my standard coffee shop order, and it was decent. Lots of lovely looking cakes and pastries but I wasn't hungry so didn't try them.

I've been here lots and have never been disappointed. This is the best coffee I have tried in Brum. I usually just snack here and find a great selection to chose from. If you are a coffee snob you will be fine here. ☕ It helps that the staff are very pleasant and helpful too.

What a coffee (espresso)! Absolutey great and they well explained what to expect on the tasting side. All this done by really friendly and kind staff. And on top of it an awesome almond croissant! What do you need more to start your day!

I recently discovered this charming little café tucked away on a quiet side street, and it has quickly become my go-to spot for a perfect afternoon escape. From the moment I walked in, the cozy ambiance enveloped me—soft lighting, rustic wooden tables, and the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods wafting through the air. The menu is a delightful mix of classic and innovative options. I opted for their signature avocado toast on sourdough, topped with poached eggs and a sprinkle of chili flakes, paired with a velvety latte made from locally roasted beans. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—the bread was crispy yet tender, and the coffee was rich without being overpowering. The pastries, especially the flaky croissants, are baked in-house daily and melt in your mouth. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do—they even recommended a seasonal special that exceeded my expectations. It's clear they take pride in creating a welcoming experience for every guest. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite, working remotely with their reliable Wi-Fi, or lingering over brunch with friends, this café nails it every time. Affordable prices, high-quality ingredients, and a vibe that's equal parts relaxing and invigorating—five stars without hesitation! I'll be back soon

A lovely little cafe with good coffee and sweet treats to accompany. Looks like they're made on site. No toilets but there are free ones across the road in the station. Also do some sofas for those who don't want to caffeinate.

From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and an inviting ambiance that instantly made me feel at home. The decor is a perfect blend of cozy and chic, with soft lighting and charming details that create a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is a true gem, offering a wide variety of dishes to suit every palate. I opted for their signature [specific dish, e.g., avocado toast with poached eggs], and it was nothing short of perfection—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The coffee was equally impressive, with rich, aromatic notes that made every sip a pleasure. They clearly source high-quality ingredients, and the care put into each dish is evident. The staff deserves special praise for their attentiveness and genuine hospitality. They were knowledgeable about the menu, quick to offer recommendations, and ensured every guest felt valued. The service was prompt without feeling rushed, striking the perfect balance.

Absolutely phenomenal! This cozy little café has become my go-to spot for the perfect morning escape. The barista crafted the creamiest latte I've ever had—rich espresso with just the right foam art (a cute leaf today!). Paired it with their flaky almond croissant that literally melted in my mouth. The ambiance is spot-on: soft jazz, warm lighting, and plenty of outlets for remote work. Staff are genuinely friendly and attentive without hovering. Prices are fair for the quality, and they even have outdoor seating with heaters for chilly days. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won't regret it!

Saints Kitchen’s food and service just makes me happy. The food is so delicious and nicely presented and the service is always friendly and efficient. My favourite place in Birmingham for a delicious brunch. The menu changes which means there is always something new to try though sometimes I feel sad because the dish I fell in love with previously is no longer available 😄. The sourdough bread is lovely and the hash brown fries currently on the menu is magical in my humble opinion. I also love the 50% dark/50% milk chocolate mocha. Hope the photos do the food justice. I have shared photos from two different visits so the menu was different.

Absolute gem of a place. Lovely location, food is just fantastic, the staff are always friendly. One of my favorite places in town. It also without doubt serves the best coffee. The coffee is something else. Most Saturday mornings in the winter me and my wife visit and have a couple of hours wondering around st pauls and a bite to eat here. Love it

Discovered this place while living in the Jewelery Quarter a few years ago and loved it. Came back today with my fiancé hoping to share a special breakfast. We were not disappointed.I had the avocado on toast with a side of delicious bacon which was good. My other half however chose the pancakes with custard buttercream, peanut butter fudge l, candied peanuts and salted caramel and I had instant food envy. The coffee was spot on and the service was excellent. Definitely a place to check out if you’re in Brum.

On an unfeasibly hot day, we were cheerfully welcomed by the wonderful staff, and sat down for the most incredible salt beef sandwiches with hash brown fries. Fluffy bread, beautifully seasoned fries and tasty fillings. Definitely seek this place out if you're in Birmingham

Felt the warm sense of welcome as soon as we walked in the entrance, being happily greeted by a member of staff. Excellent service. Homemade Chai Latte made my wife very happy. Generous helping of butter, not in a foil packet on the sourdough toast. WONDERFUL strawberry, lime and mint jam.

Wonderful place for a coffee some food and a catch up, not too loud. Gluten free options are amazing, all prepared I'm a separate part of the kitchen! The menu is mainly different types of sandwiches and they've got some delightful and rather bougie hashbrowns too. Everything on the menu can be gluten free. My only constructive criticism is that I wish they did an English breakfast, they've got the bacon, eggs, bread and hash browns on the menu, they could just add beans, ideally a sausage and they'd have it really

Nice spot right in St pauls square. Service is always great and really friendly. Small but nice menu. Food was very nice, I had pan con tomate, with burrata. Ice coffee was fine, small and not enough ice so it was not very cold and what ice there was melted very quickly making it watery. Good value, would go again.

The atmosphere at Damascena is truly amazing — such a pleasant and welcoming vibe. Special thanks to Bardia, who is extremely helpful and supportive, always guiding with food choices — I can’t say enough about how great the service is. The food is delicious and very diverse; I’ve tried different wraps, sandwiches, and shawarmas, and really enjoyed them all. Sometimes the dishes are a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall the variety and quality are excellent. The place itself is lovely, the only downside is that the parking space is quite limited.

Beautiful locals in the center of town. You maybe lucky to find parking locally, but there's motorcycling parking right next to it. We were seated quickly with and the atmosphere is lovely inside and out. On good days there is seating outside. There's lots of drinks and food options which was a nice surprise. The menu has a fair number of vegetarian options available. Food arrived quickly and was nicer than I expected. It's a nice place to come to sadly the staff really need a moral boost. I understand it can get busy but a friendly demeanor would make the place that much more welcoming. All in all I'd be looking to pop by again. ENJOY.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the warm smells of their chai spices. We were looking for a late night hot drink and Damascena was the perfect place for a karak chai. Whilst enjoying our delicious hot drinks, we had a look at their food menu and knew we had to come back. The next morning, we feasted on their manakeesh and fuul that reminded us of our warm homes. Compliments to chef and the very kind staff. We will definitely return to our local, far-away coffee house on our next visit to Birmingham.

What a unique place to have dinner! Spiced Chai Latte was absolutely amazing, salad was fresh, tahini kofta and pickled veggies were very flavourful. I also tried three different pastries, all of them were very lovely. As coming from the country where there are no Middle Eastern restaurants, I’ve really enjoyed the experience and will definitely come back once I’m in the UK.

Cosy and friendly. Staff banter was 10/10, main menu had good selection and really tasty. Ginger, lemon and honey tea would recommend. Baklava was not to our personal taste but enjoyable still (my friend prefers it sweeter).

Nice place in a fairly central location, with reasonable prices and good quality food. There’s the option to eat outside; we were taken to a very beautiful indoor room. The menu is very rich and varied, with dishes for vegetarians and vegans. The drinks are good. The only downside was the staff, who were completely inattentive to the customers. They were certainly polite, but I had to struggle several times to get their attention.

Amazing experience at Damascena! The staff were amazing — truly talented at their job, friendly, and very attentive. They made us feel welcome from the start. Maya suggested great choices from the menu, and Jagdeep made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and relaxing, and the desserts were perfect! We will definitely visit again! Jagdeep & Maya❤️

I'm a regular at Cafephilia, and it's hands down one of my favorite spots in town. Every time I come in, Will takes incredible care of me — he's not only welcoming but also consistently goes above and beyond. The food he makes is always amazing, and he often adds his own special touches that aren't even on the menu, which makes each visit feel unique and personalized. I usually come here to study, and the environment is perfect for that — cozy, calm, and friendly. It genuinely feels like a second home. If you're looking for a place with great food, a warm atmosphere, and people who really care, Cafephilia is it.

This is my favourite place but today it was very cold, so I couldn't stay very long. (Also a bit too noisy, but the place is small, so it's difficult to control the acoustics, I understand) The food selection is great and they're always very friendly and since I regularly ask for ingredient combinations which are not on the menu, they're always happy to do it. Also I love the big corner windows - when it's sunny this is the best/only place where you get so much sun coming through to the inside. Overall - my favourite place to have a drink or a bite, and work on my laptop in Moseley and King's Heath!

This is one of my favourite cafes in Birmingham/Moseley. Such a cosy atmosphere and vibe, the staff are always friendly and there’s a good range of choices on their menu. Prices are decent too, 10/10 spot

I visited this cafe today for the first time with my husband and daughter. We thought the place was fabulous , the food and coffee were delicious and the service was great, I really recommend popping in, you won’t be disappointed. My daughter is looking to move to the area so we got chatting to the owner, who was absolutely lovely and he and his friend gave us some really useful advice. Overall a really enjoyable experience, one of the best independent cafes I’ve been to.

The chicken sandwich here is really nice! Other food selection looks good too. Need to try some milkshakes. Their opening hours are long, which is useful. Music sometimes played a lil loud and limited seating quite close together. Nice local place.

Fantastic food, coffee and atmosphere. Staff are so friendly too, the staff weren't happy with the quality of the cake I chose so gave me another and my money back! So naturally it went in the charity box :)

Me and a couple of friends stopped in at Cafephilia over the weekend and had such a great experience! William was such a great server - friendly and accommodating and going above and beyond to take care of us, for example bringing us little samples of one of the milkshakes to try (which was seriously delicious). I haven't had such good service in a long time, and that wasn't the only good part as the food was also delicious! I had the nachos and both the salsa and the guac tasted homemade. This is now my new favourite cafe in Moseley - I highly recommend stopping in!

Wonderful visit - a really warm welcome and a menu to die for. A full Hylton was outstanding, the food was perfectly cooked and well presented. It was hot and great flavours abounded. It's a real " belly buster" and outstanding.

Waiting staff is nice and smiles, she is very helpful for travellers. Very nice and warm cafe, Eggs Benedict is nice as Hollandaise sauce made very creamy not too salty and sour, bacon rashers are cooked fine and poached eggs look so great!

The ladies were soso nice and gave us great suggestion on what to try out! I got the scrambled eggs with smoke salmon and it was delishhh My friend got the breakfast egg benedict, also really good! Super recommended!

Can always rely on the Hylton Cafe for that much needed caffeine hit to keep going for the day! Clean and inviting with good quality food.

Came to this cafe today for the first time in a while, very happy with the food and service. Friendly staff and proper breakfasts. Thank you all!

Lovely staff, great food, highly recommend. 6x very clean plates !

A great cafe, really friendly service, and food always cooked fresh to order. Their full English breakfast is excellent. Couldn't ask for more.

I visited 200 Degrees Coffee Shop in Birmingham on the 8th of February 2025. As there was a social meet up via the Meetup app. But other than that I would not come here that freely, as explained below The staff at 200 Degrees Coffee were friendly and helpful. As well as the service was good. Other important notes, this place does not accept cash/coin payments, only via card. So if you’re a O.G who would like to pay by cash/coins, I would not recommend this cafe to you. Also to note this place is not a dog free place (unfortunately). So if you were to value hygiene above all else this place is not for you. So as a person who is a sceptic of dog culture in general I would not see myself coming back to this coffee shop. To the dog nutters who maybe reading this review, if you like potential dog faeces/dog urine across the floor of this cafe, bumping into dogs or getting too close to dogs (near to immoral purposes?) this place is for you!

​200 Degrees Coffee in Birmingham is a true standout, offering an exceptional coffee experience that goes far beyond your average chain cafe. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly roasted beans is incredible, a perfect hint of the quality to come. The space itself is cozy and inviting, with a rustic, stylish feel that makes it a perfect spot to relax or get some work done. ​The coffee is, without a doubt, the star of the show. Their baristas are incredibly skilled, serving up perfectly brewed espresso drinks and pour-overs with a clear passion for their craft. I've never had a bad coffee here; every cup is consistently excellent. They also have a fantastic selection of food, including delicious sandwiches and cakes that pair beautifully with their drinks. ​What really makes 200 Degrees special is the staff. They are always friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help you find the perfect drink. It's clear they take pride in what they do, and that makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable. It's my go-to spot in the city for a quality coffee and a great atmosphere.

Nice coffee shop in Colmor Row. Staff were friendly & helpful. We ordered our 2 coffees & then given an order number for the table. The interior is a combination of open brick work, soft lighting, and wooden accents, which sets itself apart from other coffee shops. We waited for a couple of minutes & our coffees we're brought to the table. Nice informal atmosphere where you can meet up with friends or do some work quietly on a laptop.

This 5 stars is for Ana ⭐ I was honestly about to give 1 star because of the coffee I first got from another staff member. I asked for my drink to be made extra hot since I was freezing, but the person on the till rolled her eyes and said she’d already noted it. When my drink came, it was barely warm. I asked if they could reheat it, but they said no since I’d already sipped it. Then Ana stepped in and said she will make me a new coffee, properly hot, and told me you're the customer you're paying for your drink you can customise however you want to if it's not good enough ask them to make again. What's the point of coming to cafe when you're not satisfied enough 😅 Honestly, she’s so right. I really appreciated how gracefully she handled everything.

The food is amazing just a bit expensive I bought a pulled pork, a lemonade and 2 salted caramel brownies and a pastel de... and came out to a total of £25-32. I would tip but, for food prices I won't. Edit: We had to wait 15 minutes for a coffee I ordered and after reminding them the second time they finally got to doing it

I come here every morning before work without fail. The team are incredible and always remember my order and know where I love to sit. They’re so accommodating! Absolutely love it here, I’m able to bring meetings here and it’s super convenient. Massive thank you to Ram, Luke and the rest of the gang!

I’ve been a loyal customer at this cafe for a year and I always come with my family. I even have a membership and visit often because I really liked this place. But sadly, I had another disappointing experience. This is the second time this has happened. I came with my whole family and my little brother, who is 5 years old, had his own food because he can’t eat anything else. He was the only one with food from outside the rest of the family were going to order from the cafe as usual. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t allow us to stay because of my little brother’s food. They were not helpful at all and didn’t even try to understand the situation. I felt really unwelcome and disappointed because I’ve supported this cafe for a whole year and always recommended it to others. But after this, I won’t come back again. I hope they change this policy for kids with special food needs, but for me, I won’t visit this place anymore.

We stumbled across this breakfast place and it was a good find. Entered to a sign where you can grab menus and grab any seat. Still welcomed by someone who advised us we could order at the table or the till. Great choices on the menu and easy to order from the app. We decided to order at the till as I wanted scrambled eggs which were not on the menu. This was adapted to the dish for an extra £1.50. We ordered 2 hash brown stacks, bacon and vegetarian options. Hash browns were slightly salty but probably be perfect for hangover hunger! Both dishes were cooked well, good sizes and great flavour. It was nice to have a different dish for breakfast, especially with spinach and feta. We had an orange juice and an iced latte. Totalling our bill just under £30 which we felt was more than worth it for the food portions, quality and drinks. The atmosphere felt relaxed but many people in with the sound of conversations in the air, the staff were super friendly and accommodating.

Lovely little spot to pop in for a light lunch or brunch. We decided to go for brunch and on reflection that was probably a worse choice than the breakfasts or sandwiches but good nonetheless. Next time I'd go for a fry up instead of the fritters, which I did like but wasn't particularly filling. You order on the app or up at the desk, but when there's a queue the app proves much quicker. I liked how there were photos on the app, that was really helpful. Only one toilet, and it's accessible which is good, but might be a problem if someone was having an emergency and it is occupied. A semi industrial look so the place is fairly echoey, and no cushioning on the bench, so if you bring your grandma get her to sit on the chair! Watch out for the drinks and cakes, the prices seem a little high, but then I don't come into the city often so they could also be typical! Too much fat in the cookies for my personal taste but I know some people love them crispier too.

What a cracking find, bank holiday brunch! Really hit the spot- great menu, super delicious butchers brekkie and pancakes! They are serious about coffee- super slick kit, and expertly made. Top marks all round. Try it, you won’t be disappointed…

The breakfast was delicious. However, the order arrived with green garnish on it, even though I had requested that nothing be added to the eggs — no green onions or any green toppings. After informing them about the issue, they corrected the order, and when it came back, it was excellent and well-prepared. They were very cooperative. The tea was wonderful.

Great tasting breakfast. Had the smashed avo toast with poached eggs. Tasted really fresh and delicious. Portion was slightly on the small side for the price unfortunately.

Visited here last Sunday, with our dog. We had checked in advance, that they were a dog friendly cafe. As soon as we sat down, one of the staff brought our dog a bowl of water and a saucer with some dog treats 😍 . There's a QRcode on the table, scan this and you can place your food and drinks order, and pay. Drinks were brought swiftly, along with cutlery. We ordered 2 of the halloumi salad and 2 of the miso pork salad. All were lovely and flavourful, and a decent size.

their homemade special hash browns really outstanding with loads of different options, and first time trying egg Benedict on hash browns which is definitely a new try!

I’m sad to report that this was a distinctly underwhelming experience. My daughter and I decided to pop in for an afternoon drink and a pastry. We normally go to EL&N, however their recent food hygiene rating has put us off, so we thought we’d try somewhere new. Firstly, the general ambience is rather grubby and downmarket: the tables were tacky, the singular a toilet an afterthought and everywhere looked like it needed a good scrub. We had to wait for a table (no problem), however it was almost impossible to catch anyone’s eye, so the whole process was unclear. When we were seated, we were given some rather tired and shabby menus which immediately adhered themselves to the surface of the table. Not to be deterred, we made our choice from the limited selection of pastries and cakes available. I chose the passionfruit cruffin which had seen better days and was still dripping in cooking fat. It was far from the light and delicate laminated pastries that I have tried at artisan bakeries and I felt rather let down. We noticed that the general atmosphere was unfriendly, I suspect that this was partly due to the staff’s fantastic ability to avoid eye contact at all times. Even my daughter noted that she had not seen a single member of waiting staff actually smile during the entirety of our visit. Needless to say, we won’t be returning.

TLDR: I’d only recommend this place if you’re getting a pastry from the front. Long wait times (45+ mins) + no cooling system = not a great place to dine in. Came here twice and had very different experiences. When a friend and I grabbed a pastry from the front, we were served and seated right away, even moving to a booth when requested. The atmosphere was great and the interior is very aesthetic and appealing for social media. No complaints here. When I came alone a few months later to order brunch, I had a 2/5 experience. First, it took around 5-10 minutes to be seated with no acknowledgment of the long wait time, even with several moments of eye contact with staff who didn’t seem very rushed, though this can be overlooked. Second, I waited over 45 minutes for my food (not a guess or overestimate) without acknowledgment of any sort. There was a period of around 15 minutes where nothing came out of the kitchen (I had a direct view of where the food exited). During this wait time, it was increasingly apparent how uncomfortable the space was. There was no AC and the building has no windows to open. The only cooling system was a single fan, and with the many skylights, the restaurant felt like a greenhouse. Literally outside the restaurant was cooler than inside and that’s not an exaggeration. The food itself was alright. I ordered the harissa benedict and the only qualm I have with it was that the eggs were almost hard boiled and not runny at all. There was a lot of chorizo on it and the mushrooms were great, however I don’t think I’d pay £14 for it again.

A lovely brunch, but nothing special. We ordered the granola bowl, some toast and some bakes to take home. The sourdough was lovely (although the jam alongside is just a jar, not homemade), and the bowls were okay, albeit quite lacking on the fruit. The bakes we took home were really disappointing. The biscoff cruffin had no biscoff 😅 and the chocolate chip cookie was completely tasteless. The setting itself was lovely, a great spot to meet for a coffee.

I love medicine bakery so I was chuffed to find it open on new street just a walk away from the office! Lunch was delicious! I was excited to have my usual fried chicken but they ran out!!??? Shockkkkk! But hey I got to try something new and went for Turkish eggs! Delicious and very healthy. Lovely space and atmosphere! There are individual tables and sharing tables so make a note of what you want on your booking if you’re fussy!

Delicious food! Mike served us today he was a really chilled guy, was really understanding when I returned the matcha drink I didn’t like- I got the iced chai latte and it was AMAZING! Would come back again

First time here for breakfast . Very smart place in the mailbox Birmingham. Menu good with lots of lovely choices. My choice-sausage brioche with a side of hash brown. Very tasty. 😁 Rooibos tea. ☕️ Group of four. Made reservations but not really needed. Good service. Comfy seats. Nice clean space. Bakery section cakes etc looked amazing and took selection home 🤣🤣👏 There are other locations in the city 😁 Toilets nice and clean. Child friendly. Disabled friendly. Wheelchair access. Nice smart breakfast/ brunch spot. Recommended 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The Medicine Bakery is a staple for those who brunch in Brum. The food is excellent. Well priced. Generous portions and overall delicious. From street level up the stairs you are greeted with a take away counter for loads of baked treat and bread which look and smell amazing. You then have a small hallway with bench seating where the coffee are made which did get a little congested as it’s so popular. We did book which I thoroughly recommend to not have to wait for a table. The dining room is large. Bright and airy with high ceilings, loads of green succulents and gallery walls. Current exhibition is a photography collection of black culture in the UK. Lots of bench style seating down the middle which means you may share the bench with others (something which never bothers me) The service speed is what lets the venue down. The coffee is excellent but always takes a long time to come. This has been a consistent issue with all my visits. The food is delicious. Beautifully cooked and seasoned. Though offering black pepper from a mill and not powered would be expected in a place like this. Overall it’s great with slightly nonchalant service. Book ahead and make sure you have a hearty appetite.

I'd give 6 stars if possible. I was seated quickly, served without fuss, my food exceeded expectations and was reasonably priced. Great coffee as well. There's no reason to go to a chain breakfast place in Birmingham over this place, in my opinion. Support independents!

Really enjoyed this cosy little cafe. Right behind the station which is so handy and convenient. It was also conveniently located beside the metro station. There was a queue on the Saturday morning, so beware but the queue moves quickly. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating and are more particularly friendly to wheelchair users. Would highly recommend this cafe for the staff alone!

Visited this delightful little cafe on Saturday 8th November, which is very close to New Street Station. Never have i had to queue to get in to a cafe, but the wait wasnt too long. A cosy welcoming little cafe seems family run and the staff are very nice and friendly. We opted for the Full breakfast at £14.95, with 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 poached eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans and 2 toast, you are able to have omelette instead of the poached eggs. They have an extensive menu and watching all the different food coming out, all of which looke delicious. Our breakfast certainly hit the spot before we went shopping and all the ingredients were fresh and good quality, my wife commented that her sausages were the best she had in ages. A very nice little old school cafe which is well worth a visit. Not many of these quaint cafes left. The only reason i gave 4 stars was i dont like mushrooms or tomatoes.

Straight after getting off the train at Birmingham New Street yesterday, I popped into Grand Central Kitchen for some breakfast. Gotta say, I’d never had eggs and cheese like that before – absolutely delicious! The staff were so friendly too. Special shout-out to the Iranian girl who was lovely, and the bloke (can’t remember his name!) who recommended some spots for me to check out in Digbeth. Loads of cool places to explore, so thank you both for the tips! To be honest, I was a bit knackered when I came in and probably could’ve done with a nap right there and then. If I hadn’t been so tired, I’d have been even more buzzing about it all, haha. Anyway, cracking little spot – I’ll definitely swing by again next time I’m in Birmingham. Matee, I'm minging. Bloody love yaouw' 🤣

Best place to have a breakfast. Very friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Very impressed with the friendly service, wide selection of choice and well presented food… one to put on the map for future

I had a meal at Grand Central Kitchen recently, and overall it was okay. The prices were fair, especially for the central location, which I appreciated. The staff were friendly and service was quick. That said, the food itself didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The dishes looked good, but were missing a bit of flavour – just felt like they needed a bit more seasoning or something to bring them to life. I’ve definitely had better meals elsewhere in Birmingham. Still, it’s not a bad spot if you’re nearby and need a bite – clean, convenient, and decent value. I’d give it 4 stars overall, mostly for the service and price.

A great farm shop with a huge range of products, many of which are local. They even have a good range of craft beer! We had breakfast in the restaurant, which was excellent! More than i could manage to be honest. We visited when the sunflowers were in bloom so were able to walk through the sunflower field which is a great experience. Well worth the visit!

We recently visited Becketts Farm Shop and Restaurant and were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The farm shop itself is a delight, packed with fresh produce, homemade breads, and an array of cakes that all look and taste wonderful. Everything feels authentic, high quality, and lovingly prepared. One particular highlight is their pulled pork baps, which are absolutely incredible hearty, full of flavour, and the perfect treat on a cold winter’s day. The restaurant and café are just as impressive. I often return especially for their award-winning breakfast, which really is something special. The portions are very generous, almost too big as I have never actually finished one, but every bite is delicious and well-cooked. It’s a real treat to start the day with such a high-quality meal, and I can see why so many people rave about it. What makes Becketts even better is the atmosphere. The café is warm and welcoming, the staff are consistently friendly and attentive, and the whole place has a wonderful buzz to it. Whether you’re shopping for local produce, enjoying a quick bite, or treating yourself to a full breakfast, Becketts Farm is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended but definitely book ahead!

We had heard so many good things about this place and their wonderful display of sunflowers and it didn't disappoint. The field is free to walk around and for photographers or just to enjoy is a treat. The day we visited the flower heads were hanging low perhaps as a result of all the much needed rain we had. Either way it is well worth a visit as the field is huge and packed with flowers. We also went to the restaurant and enjoyed one of their sandwiches which are stunning. They are great value as they are huge and supplied with chips and salad. The farm shop is well stocked, with in-house bakery, sandwich shop, gift shop and butchers. There is a large free car park on site and with it being easy access from junction 3 of the M42 is well worth a visit.

We had a quick bite to eat and hot drink at their cafe, staff are friendly and quick service. Well organised and presented shop. Plenty of parking spaces and a lot more shops to see around. Well worth a visit.

This place has some excellent produce . People like this place as the car park was full

Placed a birthday cake order at the bakery and Meg and the team smashed it! It was exactly what I wanted and then some! Reasonably priced and delicious too - won’t go anywhere else for occasion cakes now

Beautiful to see the sunflower 🌻 fields and brilliant for all the bees to collect pollen, the farm shop also has some very fresh and tasty produce

A little hidden gem over on the other side of the city centre. Massive portion size (loved it!) and delish. Favourite parts are the gravy and the cheese sauce. The beef was a tad dry but this is purely based on personal taste and preference. Still big thumbs up. The team is friendly and attentive; the environment is chilled. Would 10/10 come back as there's so many other dishes on the menu that I'd love to gobble up. Nom nom nom.

Can't fault anything here! We visited a year ago and hadn't made it back until today, but JuJu remembered us, where we sat and even our previous order! Love the comfortable atmosphere, great food, reasonable prices, and excellent staff! Highly recommend it for breakfast with many options!! The many pictures and signs adorning the walls will keep you smiling. With it along the canal, you can watch life float by while eating!

I have the pleasure eating at juju's cafe in a glorious day in July 2025. What a homey and friendly place to dine in. The Big beef yorkshire is massive, delicious and one of a kind with a twist from the owner. The setting is pleasant in the canal area of birmingham and the whole setting is pleasant. And Juju herself is a kind soul with cheerful and passionate personality and clearly was seen on the menues she created. I will definitely come back if i am in Birmingham again.

All members of staff were so welcoming and friendly, treating you like family and would go out their way for you to make sure you had a great experience there. Would recommend to anyone and the food was outstanding. Definitely going there again

Beautiful canalside location, but this isn't the best bit! Plenty of tables inside and out and a really warm welcome. The food and service were outstanding - we came for breakfast, everything was delicious and cooked just how we wanted it. If we'd had more time we'd have stayed much longer - will definitely visit again next time we're in town.

Fabulous place right on the canal. We had a seat by the window overlooking the canal. Food was delicious and staff really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend. Will definitely go back.

Lovely brunch at Jujus today the owner was so welcoming and nice!! Gave my dog a sausage which she loved! We will definitely be back for a porky hash again soon!

I don't usually rate takeaway services on Google however I thought it'd be worth doing for this little place as it's one my partner and I order from a decent amount because it's hard not to crave this place, they're warm, comforting and filling with their meals. Each thing is filled and seasoned with care and it's addictive enough to come back regularly and not get bored. The amount of vegan options this chain do really set an example for other chains as they not only do a lot but also they match up to the quality of the options offered for non-vegans instead of just throwing vegetables together and hoping it's decent. This is a chain who actually consider the dietary needs of people who are outside of the omnivorous diet alongside those within it. Would 100% reccomend going here if you have a party with different diets as everyone will leave full and satisfied.

Amazing service, delicious food. Took my mum here for a birthday brunch and she loved it. The staff welcomed warmly and the food came out speedy. Will be back again.

A great place for brunch. Very bright but cosy. Delicious food with plenty options and friendly staff

Visiting Birmingham for the weekend and picked this place as close to our hotel. Unbelievably delicious food, really lovely staff and a cool vibe inside! Even left with some new reusable travel mugs!

Great place for breakfast and brunch especially on a chill Sunday morning. Good food, good ambiance and great choice of music.

From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance captivated me—cozy wooden tables, soft lighting, and the tantalizing aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. The staff were incredibly friendly, greeting me with genuine smiles and making me feel right at home. The menu was a treasure trove of culinary delights! I ordered their signature [specific dish or drink, e.g., lavender latte and avocado toast], and it was pure perfection—the flavors were vibrant, fresh, and beautifully balanced. Every bite felt like a little piece of heaven. They also cater to dietary preferences, offering a fantastic selection of vegan and gluten-free options, which I truly appreciated.

Food and service is great, I had the big boss muffin and breakfast on each occasion. It was definitely filling. Only thing is I took my matcha to go and as I bought the cup I got my drink included as I also bought breakfast too. However everyone who has seen my cup has said it looks odd, but I don't see any issues then they don't continue to complete their point and I kissing something?

We visited The Barn one afternoon and had such a lovely experience. I ordered the fillet steak, which was perfectly cooked — tender, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. My partner chose the rolled pork belly, which was crispy on the outside, soft and juicy inside, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and since it wasn’t too busy, we could really relax and enjoy our meal. The views from the restaurant are beautiful — a perfect backdrop for an afternoon meal. Overall, great food, friendly service, and a stunning setting. We’ll definitely be visiting again!

Absolutely beautiful location within 15 mins of the NEC. Rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable (only thing missing was a glass each in the bathroom). Breakfast at the barn was delicious as was the pizza we had on our arrival night. We also bought some items from the bakery - the pork pie in particular was immense! The staff are all very friendly and helpful, will definitely come again if we find ourselves in the area.

What a great stay & experience at the Barn Hotel and restaurant. Lovely room with comfortable bed and pillows - good Wifi with plenty of parking. Great to be onsite, only a 1 minute walk to the restaurant where the food hits the spot 🍔🍔 … also plenty of options to buy some homemade products to take home with you. Overall high quality, good atmosphere but with a family run feel, which is nice to see!

We absolutely love this place we come every year for our anniversary, and the food is always excellent with fantastic service to match! It’s just a shame that this visit was slightly overshadowed by a couple behind us who decided to make a scene with a wonderful supervisor named Shannon (who, I have to say, handled the situation brilliantly). As a General Manager in the same industry, I was so impressed with how she dealt with it calm, professional, and completely composed throughout. She truly went above and beyond, and I can’t compliment her enough. It’s such a shame when people feel the need to complain unnecessarily, especially when the team are clearly doing everything they can to make everyone’s experience enjoyable. Still, we’ll absolutely be back again next year this place never disappoints!

My wife and I booked a table for Sunday Lunch on our Anniversary. On arrival were met with a wonderful smile and led to our table by the excellent staff. I had the Lamb roast and my wife had the Beef roast, served with a smile. We can't wait to visit again as we had a fantastic all round experience.

Table of 7 which all of us ordered a roast dinner. Only two sharing bowls of veg were provided which wasn’t a lot when it was spilt out. A beef had to be sent back as it was well done rather than medium rare as requested. Service charge was added onto our bill although the receipt stated that this only gets added if there is a table of 8 or more.

We loved the experience. The rooms are nice, the staff are welcoming and helpful. We went as a group of 5 for one night. We had dinner and breakfast and the food was lovely. I really enjoyed the food. They even gave you a map with nice walks. We couldn't do them but I will definitely go next time. It is a good place to stay. I will come back. Thanks for your hard work.

This was our first visit, and we were really impressed with the breakfast. It’s definitely not the cheapest, but absolutely worth every penny. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the sausages were made with quality ingredients, and the hash browns were next level! We especially loved the pineapple coconut smoothie – it had a piña colada vibe and was so tasty. Service was spot on too. Well done, guys!

We always have a lovely meal here. Food, service and atmosphere are always great, and service is 10/10. Special shout out to Nyah who served us today and was lovely!

Boston tea party is a medium sized chain of coffee shops in the midlands and the south west of England, from previous visits at their branches down in Bristol I expected the coffee to be good. I paid the Solihull branch of Boston tea party a visit on the 19th of September 2025. I chose to buy a takeaway flat white, whoever reads this review please note that Boston tea party have banned use of disposable takeaway cups 4 several years now, they do have reusable takeaway cups there for a fee, I anticipated this so the photograph of a flat white in this review is in my own reusable takeaway cup. They still serve a bespoke blend from @extractcoffee and it still tastes the same as it did the last time I paid a visit in 2017! A staff member said that I was in for a treat, I said I'll be the judge of that! And the judgement is it was quite good!

My wife and I visited Boston Tea Party for the first time and had an excellent experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference. The environment is chilled out, relaxed, and full of character—perfect for unwinding or spending quality time together. The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about quality. What also stood out was how it’s a great spot to get some work done. The calm atmosphere, comfortable seating, and laid-back vibe make it ideal for focusing without feeling rushed. Highly recommended for great food, great people, and a great place to either relax or be productive. We'll definitely be back :)

I visited Boston Tea Party recently and ordered The Boss Breakfast — which was delicious — but what really made my visit stand out was the incredible service from Alec. From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that I had a great experience. Alec struck the perfect balance between being professional and personable — checking in at just the right times, making sure everything was spot on, and even having a great sense of humor that made the morning brighter. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, and it honestly made all the difference. The food was great, but Alec’s service is what will bring me back. Huge thanks to him for turning an ordinary breakfast into a really enjoyable start to the day!

I had a great visit to Boston Tea Party in Solihull today. The scrambled eggs and avocado on toast were excellent – fresh, tasty, and really well put together. Our server, Nyah, was brilliant – friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. I also loved the decor, the music, and the relaxed vibe of the place. All in all, a perfect spot for brunch and definitely somewhere I’d come back to.

The English breakfast was delicious — everything was cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. The service was top-notch; the staff were warm, friendly, and really attentive. It’s not often you get both amazing food and such genuine hospitality. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Fabulous evening at Coventrys Gourmet Food Kitchen with Chef Tony & his wife Debs. It's a tasting menu with a maximum of 12 people sat a one large table. You get to chat with the other guests & with the hosts as the restaurant is lovely & intimate - like being invited to a dinner party, where you have a view of the kitchen. Bring your own booze as it's not able to provide bar facilities. This is great, as it keeps down the cost & you know you are going to enjoy the drinks - you brought them! Glasses, bottle opener & water are provided. Now to the food, each dish was delicious but I'll let the photos do most of the talking. So many processes & so much work goes into each one. As an example, the Home smoked Duck- smoked in a aged oak whisky barrel. The Duck croquettes- Confit leg of Duck with a Duck reduction. Portion sizes are generous for fine dining but luckily my son was there to help out as my appetite couldn't finish every dish. When it came to the dessert - sublime Lemon tart, with just the right amount of sharp to sweet for me, I had to concede & took home some of the Lemon tart with the Honey Tuelle & the petite fours. Far to scrumptious to let my son have, besides, he was pretty full by then too. This was my 2nd visit & I will definitely return again for the fine dining. Haven't tried the other menu's - Such as Breakfast & Fish & Chips but fully intend too.

One of the best dining experience. Loved every single dish. Well balanced flavours from start to finish. Generous portions too. Excellent service from Tony (chef) and Deb (wife). Unique dining experience unlike other establishments- you’re actually sat in a long table with other guests. You can bring your own booze/ drinks. But they do offer coffee/ tea with our last course- petit fours (chocolate made in-house by the chef). There’s lots of shops around the corner that sells liquor- so you can easily get them before your meal. Added a few more new photos from other visits. Again, the food was equally amazing! You’ll never be bored of their menu as Tony manages to come up with new menu every month! They also started bagels for morning/ brunch. The fish fingers and beef bagels were to die for! Freshly made in house!

Absolutely love this place! The ever changing menu is always inventive and perfectly executed. So much thought goes into each dish, it's a real treat. The BYO concept is also wonderful

Wow what a gourmet experience. Went here on Saturday for my birthday. Hosts were amazing everything ran like clockwork. Food was so tasty and full of flavour. The way the flavours were combined and showcased. The lamb was melt in the mouth.Can recommend a visit. We will be returning.

A must visit for their delicious bagels and coffee. Their smoked salmon bagels are amazing, curing and smoking their own salmon on site.

Wow - what a fantastic place. Recommended by a friend we went for my husbands birthday with friends and weren’t disappointed. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, oh and the food was amazing! The chef introduced each course to the 12 dinners explaining a little of the work that had gone into its prep. It tastes A-MAZ-ING! Great fun evening with fantastic food - we will be back!

Really delicious homemade food. Everything was made by hand, from scratch, and tastes great! Tony (pictured) has been a resident at Fargo from very early on, and has expanded significantly from those early days. Today I got to try his home cured bacon, smoked salmon, and pastrami, and they were honestly to die for. The flavours and the experience of eating these things was excellent. I can't recommend enough that you give this small gem of a restaurant a go, especially in the daytime when its quieter. Tony also has exclusive gourmet evening events the first Friday of each month that you can book in for, and with a specially curated set menu. Places fill up fast, and there's an example menu in my pictures. Great food, great flavour, well imagined and executed. However, not suitable for vegans really. Best for the omnivorous epicureans.

The majority of the food menu is sandwiches (or sandos, as they call them). Interesting fillings, but the doorstop bread is a Japanese milk bread. A floury odd tasting bread that ruined the experience. I ate the fillings but left the bread. As we left, I noticed that almost everyone who had sandwiches had left the bread too. There should be a choice of breads.

Very nice venue inside Birmingham Museum and Art galleries. Nice atmosphere. Full crowded and serving most of sandwiches which is good for lunch. Very poor service. Wait up to 25 mins for just cuppa coffee. Not worth to wait that long when you can get out somewhere within 3mins. These days time is everything.

I visit Birmingham at least once a year and I couldn't wait to come back after a couple years of closure. Unfortunately I couldn't have my favorite, cream tea, as they didn't have scones, but I still enjoyed a lovely victorian sponge and pot of tea. The ambience is truly relaxing and cosy, just as I remembered it.

Is it the best coffee place? No but it’s good enough. The room looks great and spacious. The staff and drinks are fine.

I love the actual area of the tea room, so light and airy but I was disappointed with the menu choice today. Only soup and 'Sandos' available and the Sando only has 5 options, only one of which is vegetarian. The bread is also a thick milk loaf which is way too thick to make a decent sandwich. A very strange choice of bread when that is the only food you offer. Not sure I'll be back with such a limited strange offering.

The Edwardian Tea Room is fabulous for a warm afternoon tea with family or friends. The staff were very friendly and took our request for pescatarian sandwiches. However, keep in mind that they have a different menu of sandwiches everyday and they may not be able to entertain such a request everyday. The whole place has a semi-vintage vibe and the gallery has a roof that allows a lot of sunlight to come in which makes it a wonderful experience for a sunny day.

A shame to Birmingham Museum! If I can give 0 star, I would! I took my friends to Edwardian Tea Room due to the good reviews on Google and we are left feeling disgusted! With the location, I expected that it will be expensive but £8.95 for a cream is still extortion. The scones is tiny and because they have been microwaved, they are very chewy. Strawberry jam is the cheapest jelly you would find. The cake feels like standard frozen cake you get from wholesaler and not freshly made. But the worst thing is hygiene! We asked for plates and they came with butter still haven’t been washed off. We have to return the tea strainer because the tea still haven’t been washed off it (please see the photo). My cup of coffee has coffee sticking all over the plate. The metal teapot (I know that it’s the style) is rusty and has hold on it. Don’t even bother to order panini. Panini came pre-packed and the staff just throw the package all over the counter. There is no order, no hygiene & no standard and this place locates right inside Birmingham Museum. I am ashamed to bring my friends who came to Birmingham for the first time to this place. Last but not least, trust other low review because they’re all correct. You wait on the queue for 15-20mins and then wait another almost 30 minutes for your drink. I don’t blame the staff. The staff looks like they’re overworked and understaffed. whoever the manager is, they clearly should have hired more people to cope with the high volume of customers rather than providing bad customer service, low quality food with absolutely no hygiene standard while extorting you for such a ridiculous amount of money. An update: 1 hour later after we came back, we have had stomachache and I’ve thrown up. I think this place really needs to be inspected for hygiene

This used to be my favourite Italian to dine in birmingham. However, unfortunately the new rebrand has meant there's a slight dip in the quality of food. It's still pretty good but it's no longer as exceptional as it once was. The menu has shrunk a lot and there isn't many variety to choose from and overall I didn't feel it was as good as before

Food overall was pretty good and tasty, only gripe is the portion sizes are very small, especially the sharing portions, pictured above. Service was really good, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. Atmosphere is nice and would be better but I had the unlucky experience of going at the same time with tons of screaming kids, running around all over the place.

We have loved Laghi's for quite a few years now and we really loved the sound of their new venture into more of a casual fine dining approach. However, I don't think it has come together as successfully as we'd hoped. We found ourselves really missing the rustic charm of a family-led Italian restaurant at reasonable prices. We never had a bad dish at the old Laghi's, everything was always well cooked. Sadly, our experience the other night was more mixed. That's not to say it was bad, the servers were polite and friendly, the food was overall tasty, but considering the price you're paying for the small plates and 1/2 pastas, you expect a lot more. Also, it is a lot more generous with the portions than it indicates on the menu—I'm not sure who could manage the 4 recommended plates! We took the advice and struggled to finish. Our favourite dishes were the seafood tempura and smokey scallops, both were divine. The cocktail I had, Granny's Apple, was awesome. The onglet was amazingly cooked but we were too full by the time it was served. Everything is served in tapas style, being brought out when it's ready, with the snacks arriving first. The olives were delightful as was the foccacia but the balsamic vinegar in the olive oil wasn't particularly nice. The dining style meant that we were left with a plate of meat without anything on the side. I understand wanting to create a casual dining atmosphere but we didn't really enjoy it in this setting. Some dishes were served in classic fashion with broad rimmed pasta bowls while others were served like gastro pub dishes with grease paper. It just felt slightly confused. We ordered one pasta dish, the 1/2 carbonara and while it was made authentically with guanciale, the fat wasn't very well rendered and it was extremely salty. Finally, we had a raw seasonal vegetable salad with pesto. This was a great refreshing option but we found the pesto quite bland, albeit well made. We were slightly let down too because we were given a dirty plastic glass for a drink and the table was sticky when we arrived at it. I don't think we'd go again because of the price to experience ratio. We felt like it was too expensive for what it was. But again, it wasn't bad, just pales in comparison to what it used to be.

Been here a month ago. Was informed only seafood menus will be available which is absolutely perfect for a seafood lover! Overall food was good and worth the price. The only drawback is the fact that 99% of seafood we were having that night were raw. I will definitely give it a 5 stars if I ate something different. Not to mention it might enhance the flavour of the seafood too!

The experience felt more Italian than any other Birmingham restaurant I’ve visited. I was humbled, greeted by a smiley, nervous member of staff I was led to a little table and chair in the corner of the dining room. There the staff introduced the specials. How many items can the short term memory remember? In my case, this number was exceeded. Thankfully I was able to grasp hold of a few. Of the dishes I ordered the calamari and pasta dishes were arguably some of the best I’ve in the UK. The only issues I had, given my visits to some of the city centres finest, were the lack of “showtime”, the execution of some dishes and the high price. It is a more sociable experience at Laghi’s, given its family roots. If you are looking for drama and prestige with a nod to Italian food you have to visit Legna.

Its place with natural charm and its so hard to find these days with all these chain restaurants around. Seems its run by family with good values and food recipes. Simple but lovely atmosphere, large menu and its changes often apparently depending what fresh ingredients they can get in. Service was excellent. A must try !

Amazing Italian.. fabulous dinner menu...sumptuous I think its how I would describe our main courses. So I went back for coffee and pistachio donuts for breakfast. Excellent find xx

It's a great new cafe in Stephenson Street, overlooking the council house. The cafe was busy when we walked in, but they did manage to find a table for the two of us. The interior has the current trend of unfinished ceilings, where the air conditioning and electrical ductwork are exposed. We had a friendly & helpful waitress who engaged with us. The meals were lovely and tasty. My only criticism is that my meal wasn't that hot, but it didn't spoil the experience

Came for brunch on a Sunday. As a walk-in, our group of 3 only had to wait 10 minutes for a table. This place has a nice atmosphere and we weren’t rushed at all throughout our meal or after. The menu is interesting with interesting spins on some breakfast foods. There was some flexibility with some of the dishes, for example picking the type of egg for the house breakfast. Recommend this place for brunch, especially if you are looking for a place centrally located, near New Street station.

Due to being a frequent travel through Birmingham, i have always been wanting to see what Yorks Cafe was offering (I only wanted something to drink since i had a huge breakfast). I was greeted with a wonderful server who asked if i had any special requests or allergies, before coming around to take my order. The atmosphere was a nice vintage look inside. Personally I do love that style of environment. Moving on, they have a large variety of food and drinks and i tried one of their special lattes which had turmeric, cinnamon and ginger. The taste was unique and i had nothing like it before. It definitely refreshed my pallet. Overall, i am very pleased with the coffee and the staff and will definitely have to revisit within the near future. Thank you so much for your service.

I was in Birmingham for a City break with a friend and we discover York’s on google when we arrived at the Train station. Last Sunday we were starving after our journey coming from London so we decided to have a brunch. The cafe was very busy but we didn’t have to wait long to get a table, we ordered a Yorks House Breakfast which was so delicious, Fried chicken & French Toast with a beautiful sauce on the side and the Masala fries which were very tasty. Staff was really lovely and friendly. Also great coffee selection and perfect atmosphere for a Café. We went back again for more coffee and Avocado smashed and Feta cheeses on Toast, so yummy! Probably one of my favourite cafes ever!

Great venue, but get there early to avoid queues. Service was good, and I like that they take payment when you order so you can just get up and go when done. Food was good, but would not say as amazing as it looked, but that could just be my taste. The presentation was fantastic how ever! The only reason to drop one star was the coffee was not hot enough, again just my taste, but I could have finished it before my food arrived, ask for it extra hot. Well worth a visit.

Great food! Coffee was a bit cold to my liking - lesson for next time to ask for extra hot 😊 we ordered Turkish eggs & Arabian eggs, the dishes were flawless and the Greek yogurt was very well seasoned . Poached eggs were perfect as well as the bread was amazingly soft. Decor was quite rustic, could be improved especially with just one toilet. Although a good place in the city centre.

Popped in for brunch, after getting off the train at New Street Station. Great atmosphere of people working and just meeting up. A wide range of ages in there which I think says a lot about the quality of a place. That everyone is welcome and feels comfortable, whether young or more mature. The food was very good and the staff were welcoming and friendly .

Delightful venue, reasonably priced, decent food, poor coffee. We stopped here for breakfast whilst in the local area after seeing good reviews. Our experience was mixed. The venue itself is nice with a lovely outdoor courtyard which feels very much like being in a farm cottage garden, great on a sunny day. The staff were friendly and the service was relatively quick. The food was good, fresh, tasty, and very reasonably priced. The eggs were well cooked, the bacon was exceptional. We weren’t too impressed by the ‘award winning sausages’ which were average at best, and the beans were below average. The coffee however was poor. Both decaf and regular Americanos were bitter, watery, and lacking in depth and flavour, a result of either bad coffee beans, or more likely poor extraction from a poor espresso machine. It was also surprising being charged a 45p surcharge for oat milk when it was around 50mls on the side of an americano. I can understand such a surcharge for say a latte which uses 300mls or so, but a surcharge for a splash of milk is not something I’ve ever seen before. All in all, I probably would stop here for food again, especially on a warm sunny day, but I’d go somewhere else for coffee beforehand and avoid the coffee here.

I was so happy to see they have a gluten free breakfast. It was very tasty. It does come with eggs. I just can’t have them so they do substitute

I have lived in Sutton for about 15 years now, and only today have I been to this quaint place based on a recommendation from a close friend. The food was outstanding, well priced and the service received was that of a Michelin style restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble when asked for and they even had honey for my coffee. Well worth a visit. Thank you team for a truly enjoyable breakfast in the sunshine.

Have been here twice now. Both times food and service has been great. Prices very reasonable and a lovely farm shop attached too!

Very busy place. Had to wait for a table but was happy to do so. Staff really couldn't have been any friendlier. Food came out reasonably quick but the sausage was only just warm enough and the bacon was almost cold. All very tasty though and the rest of the items were hot. 2nd visit. Omelette and chips very nice but didn't like the salad as it had balsamic vinegar on and it had spread to the other items on the plate. Please leave it off and let the customer decide if they want it or something else (salad cream, mayo etc) instead.

“Someone knows what they’re doing behind that espresso machine” were my thoughts when I tasted the soy milk flat white. The cafe was next to abandoned when I rocked up at closing time on a Saturday (around 5pm). There is loads of seating inside and out of the rural accoladed Chase Farm. When it’s a Beautiful summers day I bet it gets really busy. I loved the farm shop with its local produce, more suited to the meat lovers out there.

I love this place. Best breakfast ive had the sausage and bacon are like nothing ive tasted before! No wonder why they number 1 for pork meat. You have to try this cafe.

We were looking for somewhere to have breakfast and this place had really good reviews. I can honestly say that this is the best veggie breakfast and the Mrs said the best meat breakfast we have had in a very long time. It was cooked to perfection and the herbed beans were absolutely stunning. We had polish honey mustard that really added to the experience. The owner is the perfect host and was so attentive and funny. Next time we are in Birmingham this is definitely being visited again.

Good find for a local breakfast spot. The food was very tasty, black coffee was strong and served in good china. The service was top notch and the price was reasonable for what we ordered. £34.50 for 2 people. 2 entrees and 3 cups of coffee.

What a neighbourhood treasure! We went with a Polish colleague and enjoyed the most scrumptious, authentic dinner served in such pretty crockery. We especially loved the incredible flavours from the Hunter's Stew (Bigos) and the texture of the Meat and Potato Dumplings (Zeppelins). The owner has a great sense of humour and the cosy restaurant feels homely and comfortable. No wonder it's so highly rated on TripAdvisor. It's a bit far from the City Centre but well worth the effort.

Delicious Polish food! There are plenty of options for different tastes, a mix of English, Polish and European inspired dishes. My partner had Hunter's Stew and I had Potato Pancakes with Goulash. We shared our mains so we can try both dishes. Both were very flavourful and filling! The potato pancakes are freshly made, and the goulash was nice and rich, my favourite dish.

Our first visit to this lovely gem, I’ve passed it many times and was actually born a short way down the Bearwood Road. A very warm welcome from the host who has a lovely sense of humour. The decor is very cozy and like sitting in their living room. The food is amazing, mainly Polish but other dishes too. We had the fish pate followed by Highlanders potato pancakes which was simply amazing, great flavours. Finished with choc cake with another twist. Lovely ambience with nice music. An all round authentic great experience, will definitely be back !!

Beautifully homely dining room, with a great welcome from Rich and Rob. Home made Polish dishes served in hot and plentiful portions. Home made cherry vodka a gorgeous accompaniment to the Polish cheese desert dish. Not a huge menu, but that is welcome to me. The range is broad enough for anyone imo. I will be back. Highly recommended.

What a great random find this cafe was! Just out for breakfast and we decided to visit here. The gentle man who was very helpful worked around my vegetarian diet and the food that came was tasty. Service was prompt and food tasted fresh. Great place to come and eat. Enjoy.

A good little mom and pops spot to stop off for a hot or cold beverage and watch the world go by. Very impressed by the variety of drink options on the menu and the price is very fair. Lovely team of staff - I felt very welcomed.

Great time at this coffee place. They offer a large range or sweet/ salted crepes and drinks with some specials. The lemon crepe was alright, preferred the jam and cream one which had more filling. The Mexican hot chocolate was definitely strong 🔥. Overall the staff is really sweet and it’s a cosy place. I would recommend the place

Coffee time was one of my favourite places to come and treat myself and chill out for a bit. The service is great and so is the food. I'm so sad to hear they've shut the whole precinct, this place is such a gem I really hope they're able to keep going!

This is NOT the "Best Coffee in Birmingham". It could be, with the right barista working the espresso machine. This quality could easily be improved with a little staff training. What Coffee Time does offer is nice service and comfy seating.

Great selection of sweet and savoury crêpes! The crêpes are really thin and delicious! The coffee is strong and the prices are low! There is outdoor seating if you like! The go to place to energise your morning!

One of my favourite coffee spots in Birmingham. Never disappointed. Very fairly priced and everything tastes yummy. Coffee, cold drinks, pastries, and the best crepes I've tried in Birmingham for such a reasonable price! Sweet and savory crepes available. I love the apple and cinnamon and the tomato and mozzarella pesto. Indoor and outdoor seating. If you haven't been already you're living under a rock.

I’m simply obsessed with this coconut slice! Also the lady who served me, Monica, I believe her name was she was absolutely lovely and super helpful, smiley and kind. Definitely nice spot to enjoy a nice coffee in the heart of Birmingham without the pressure of the rush! Totally recommend 😊 4/5 ⭐️as there always room for improvement

I like this little independent, relaxed,inclusive, unpretentious, friendly. A nice change from the big chains where laptops and fancy coffee is the norm. I’m not a coffee expert so I have my usual americano which is pretty good. The chocolate chip cake thing was nice but needs more flavour, if it was banana I didn’t taste it. Will recommend.

An awesome local independent coffee shop with their own roaster. Coffee is great and the homemade cakes and treats are delicious. The folks who run Under Pressure are lovely. I’ve joined in a communal Saturday morning crossword a number of times and it’s the perfect weekend morning activity.

BEST coffee in Sutton, probably the best coffee in a 5 mile radius. Flat whites are amazing and the homemade cakes are delicious

Amazing spot. You come here for the coffee, that’s it, and they know what they’re doing. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is very friendly. If I’d ever open a cafe I want it to be like this.

Firstly the coffee is delightful - I can only comment on their flat white, but it's a step above any other that I've tried in the area. Velvety, revealing, consistent. Secondly, the sheer number of books I have begun reading here, that I haven't been able to start anywhere else, is testament to the atmosphere the owners have created. With a quiet library feeling too much like school, and a house being home to chores and responsibilities, the people, the music, even the seating, help make a novel feel more like a short story. 10/10 - I could go on, but I have a book to read and another coffee to order.

Great place for coffee (tea) and cakes and we’re always happy to support small local businesses rather than sharks. Coffee and cakes are far superior than other coffee shops and this comes at a great price too. The place is always busy so that’s always a good sign. Keep it up.

Lovely local independent. My oat milk was steamed to perfection (the texture was so perfect I thought they served me cows milk!!) lovely coffee and cakes with quirky flavours (ginger and rhubarb) and great value at £2.5 each. A must if you’re in Sutton town centre.

Our experience at Gorilla Cafe fell short of expectations, unfortunately. Despite hearing positive reviews, our visit left us feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. High expectations were met with confusion as it wasn't clear where to order or find seating initially, making our entrance feel quite conspicuous. The lack of clear guidance left us somewhat ignored, possibly due to not being regulars. The food, though good, took longer than anticipated to arrive, and the overall pricing seemed a bit steep compared to other local brunch options. While the quality was commendable, there was a sense that it could have been better, given the reputation. Parking added to the inconvenience, as the cafe's location wasn't the most accommodating in that regard. The overall experience didn't align with the positive reviews we had heard, and we left with a feeling of disappointment, especially considering the initial high expectations.

I really like this place! A cute little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating with a concise menu, and good value. We sat outside and the interior fills quickly, the service was lovely and prompt food. I got the veggie breakfast which was filling and delicious. I would like some veggie sausage with my breakfast but they didn't have that on the menu. Unfortunately I can't comment on the interior or atmosphere but the seating outside was fine. The coffee was okay but nothing memorable. I will be returning to eat breakfast here again.

Recently had brunch here and the food was amazing. Really interesting and varied menu, including some great veggie options. The coffees and harissa scrambled eggs were perfect!

You can see many decorations, posters and material in relation of cycling here. I'm not a cyclist but I enjoyed the vibes here and of course the coffee and meals here are both great 👍🏽

This is Bedder's Fish and Chips, Mad O' Rouke's Pie and Mash, Duran Duran, Ozzy and Toni are just some of the great Midlands collaborations. Well, throw in cycles and coffee at Gorilla Coffee Cafe! This brummie institution is a beautiful, bright spacious cafe that is finely tuned for the the road cyclist. If it's the start of your cycling adventure or you've got a thirst on after a heavy day in the saddle, get over here. The staff are lovely, the coffee is great, they even serve local ales. Just find a pew amongst the abundance of seats and rest your weary lycra.

More than just a coffee shop 🚴🍰☕🍾🍻🍴🐣 Coffee shop/cycle maintenance/meeting place. Yes, the cake is huge + the coffee great. Lovely relaxing atmosphere with an area for the kids to get creative on a giant black board. For the cyclists amongst you, a full bike service or free advice on yr bike if like me - not been on a bike in years is available. If you rock up on yr push-bike, they have locks available for u to tether yr bike to outside. Recreational bike rides take place from here, just ask James. Oh yes, free wi-fi too

What a place, what a people. I remember when 🦍 first opened and I thought to myself 'Is Brum ready for a Cycle Cafe' the answer? An emphatic YES. The cafe is great, the people are wonderful but here's a particular shout out to the lads in the workshop (yes they have a bike workshop hidden away upstairs). I had a complicated job I needed done and it requires both skill, diligence and focus. Boy did they deliver! So so grateful. A truly great place!

Lovely independent coffee shop in Coventry city centre, first time visiting and won't be the last now I've discovered it! Had the chai latte which was lovely (but after reading the reviews wish I'd tried the coffee - next time!) Also had the chocolate banana loaf which was delicious but maybe a tad on the expensive side? The place is small but cute and full of atmosphere, they have seating downstairs it seemed like also.

One of the best cafes in Coventry. I like the coffee beans they use, which has a fruity and slightly sour flavor. Cakes are also tasty, not very sweet.

Good little spot, nice downstairs. Often used as a place for Christians to hang out because of the connection to St. Mark's Church, but all are welcome and inevitably the staff are very pleasant indeed. I had a nice lemon and ginger tea my friend had a barista flat white with beautiful artwork so certainly there were options and quality was assured. We didn't go for the food this time but I noticed a sign saying there were vegan options.

Great coffee, it hits the right spot of the taste buds. Very friendly and helpful staff. A perfect place to work and enjoy coffee.

I asked a friend who knows cov better than me if there were any nice cafes I could sit and do work for a short while. This was their one recommendation and I was not disappointed. Nice drinks and desserts, lovely atmosphere, the music was pleasant, and not overly loud, and there were plenty of plugs for laptops. It is a small place but wasn't overly crowded, and all the other customers in the downstairs area while I was there were quietly reading/working.

This little jem, hidden in the Coventry city center, serve me a very delicious sandwich today. I was around looking for a veg full English breakfast but I decided to try here in Bean & Leaf. I ordered a pot of mint tea and then a sandwich. So delicious indeed! As well, I enjoyed the nice background music which inspired me to pay attention and feel what I eat in every bite. Unforgettable experience here 🙂

Best coffee in Coventry. Delicious espresso with the coffee rotating regularly to give you a wide tasting experience. Cake also excellent. Prices v reasonable. Always stop by whenever I'm in Coventry city centre. Filter coffees also excellent and has the option for pourover too which is a rare plus. Nice atmosphere. Staff always friendly and helpful. Sometimes hard to get a seat but this is to it's credit as it's a reflection of how popular the place is, especially on a Saturday.

I've been twice this month, once to play Blood on the Clocktower which was amazing, I was really nervous going but the group we played with were lovely and once the game got going we had a lot of fun, I'd recommend reading up about the game before you play but Dan who was the storyteller was great and so helpful to us newbies, great fun evening. Also took my son during the day, we played Uno and then just selected random games to play, there's a huge selection. The staff are really friendly and made sure we had drinks and food and we spent 3 really happy hours playing games, no screens for a change and it was fab. Highly recommend. Food is amazing too especially the dirty fries 😋

Had a reservation and it took about half an hour for someone to come take our order for food, and even then we had to go ask them for that. Food was okay, halloumi fries were nice, and the mocktails they had were good. At other board game cafes when you haven’t been there before they’ll show you where everything is and give you some recommendations, but we were just given our table and left to ourselves. This isn’t that bad, but then I saw some other staff being really welcoming and giving recommendations to another group, so I don’t know if it was just different between members of staff. There was a good selection of board games but some of them were old and had missing pieces, which was disappointing since they looked really fun. All in all, an okay board game cafe for the price you pay, but not the best I’ve been to.

I love this place. I was so into the games and distracted by how much I was enjoying that I wasn’t able to take a picture better than this one! I really appreciate the pricing, service, and range of games here. It is just wonderful - I don’t have anything bad to say. Only that I wish you had more branches so I could come more often as Digbeth is a little far. But if that’s the only problem then it’s clearly a great place. Can’t recommend enough. Truly a space made for you to have fun, be yourself, and just enjoy.

Love it here. The food is always hot and fresh, staff are great. Drinks selection is good, the games are a plus. Lots of selection for food or snacks, and lots of outdoor seating.

Cost cafe to spend time with your friends playing board games. They have a good selection of games but would recommend pre booking. It’s free for students and drinks there are delicious.

We spent a really nice evening. We visited Birmingham for 2 days and discovered their "social Monday" on their website. We could play various games and meet new people (even some fellows french). Good choice of food and various games. The owners are really sweet! I definitely recommend

Visited Chance & Counters today with my partner and kids (booked for 2 hours, left around 8pm). Sadly, this visit was extremely disappointing compared to previous times. Service: The gentleman who took our order was fantastic. I am gluten free and he was very helpful and attentive throughout. He also noticed straight away when my burger came out on a non-gluten bun and took it back without me even asking — excellent service from him. Food quality: The kids’ meals were burnt, though they ate them as they were hungry. When my burger came back with the correct gluten free bun, the bun itself was burnt on one side, the patties were also burnt, and the chips that should have come with it were missing. Accused of lying: When I raised this with another young lady server, she went to check with the kitchen and came back saying the chips had already been sent. I was stunned. I then had to argue my case and point out my plate, as if I was lying and trying to steal food. Being accused of lying and stealing over a missing portion of chips was absolutely shocking and left me feeling humiliated. Manager response: I spoke again to the original server, who was brilliant and did what he could. He explained the situation to the manager and came back to tell me they had authorised a refund for my meal and asked if I wanted a replacement. I declined as by then I was too upset. What shocked me further is that the manager never came to speak with me directly at any point, even after overhearing what had happened at the till when my partner paid. The manager did issue some game time vouchers, but still didn’t come over personally. Overall experience: We spent over £80 on what should have been a fun family evening, but instead it was appalling, disappointing, and left me feeling accused of lying and stealing. What makes it worse is that I genuinely love Chance & Counters. I’ve visited before and even a few months ago my friend’s burger came out burnt and was refunded. I assumed the kitchen issues would have been resolved by now, but sadly not. I honestly cannot believe how poor this experience was and how badly it was handled. Hugely disappointing.

Super tasty, fresh vegan food. Menu changed every week. Highly recommend the place.

really lovely environment and healthy food, makes you feel good. well priced too. give them a visit!

I work for an environmental charity, and we were planting 1000s of trees all around Coventry. And The Pod has been our official food partners through all the events. I went to them with a request for food that can be easily eaten by really muddy volunteers, who have been planting trees, and I came back to this amazingly luxurious platter of falafels and wraps, with tantalising herb dips and sauces. The food was just amazing. They were fresh, felt so homemade, comforting and delicious. They even delivered it to all our tree planting sites. And did I mention, our volunteers absolutely loved!! The entire team (front and backend) were also so lovely. I would definitely recommend them for dine-ins, as well for all your parties and events.

My favourite place in Coventry / the country. Such a nice venue used for such a great social-political cultural motivation. Love it being vegan, love it being affordable, love it being so eventful, kind and beautiful.💚 Went to a zine making workshop for free and was provided with wonderful free food and coffee and met amazing people — feel so spoiled. Rooting for the Pod!

Such a great gem with amazing food and the nicest staff! Loved to stop for lunch here today and enjoying food and having great conversations. Only shame is I don't live close enough to come here more often. Keep up the good work and see you soon, Stef

Wonderful food and excellent value. Even the salad was moreish, and I'm not usually a fan of salads as main courses.

What a wonderful place, friendly and wonderfully fresh food.

Great place to get food and a nice coffee from. The staff is nice, atmosphere is relaxed and ideal for having a conversation. Food was great, drinks as well.

Popped in before work for an oat flat white. Great service, lovely barista who was happy to chat whilst making the coffee. Looks like a lovely cafe with lots of veggie and vegan options, so next time we'll definitely stop for some food too.

Lovely looking little coffee shop, but the service is a farce. Wasn’t particularly busy but waited 30 minutes for the most basic of drinks (a tea and latte) and they had clearly been sitting for a while given the temperature and how stewed the tea was. Feels like work is needed on the basics.

They’ve recently hired more staff to cover lunchtime rush and it’s such a difference. Lady behind counter is so friendly and food/coffee is great, really pleased to have this on the doorstep at work.

Very cute place. The food looks and is amazing and there is a great tea and coffee selection. Can recommend the apple spice tea. The atmosphere is welcoming abd so are the people working there.

Been here in the evenings when it’s serving tapas so thought I would give the place a late breakfast. Really good quality produce used, ciabatta bread really nice. Good section of refrigerated drinks. And the white chocolate and raspberry cookie was out of this world.

My wife and I recently stayed the night at the old crown pub for the night they don’t serve breakfast so we called in at the kanteen. The cafe was clean and friendly but the menu was very surreal I mean who wants martini on a breakfast menu ? Rather than a traditional breakfast there is harissa beans and chicken waffles . Really bizarre and not for us two breakfasts and two hot drinks in the custard factory is just to much at £30 💰. As we got closer to the railway station there were lots of cafes that offered much better value and I would suggest you do the same , sorry not for us 👎🏻 One star review is based on the price which was just too much for what was offered and a menu which needs to be more of a traditional one .

Never been to the old one checked out the food in the new venue today and the food was extremely good. Had the beef rib special which was tender and sweet fall off the bone meat. Need to come back to try the chicken. Would say the indoor setting is more suited to the vibe of the golf venue it’s attached to. Think they should try to go for a more restaurant / Indonesian cafe vibe if possible as it’s a bit dark and more of a bar atmosphere inside.

Such a relief find place where I could get Indonesian food and coffee plus meet with any other Indonesian people in Birmingham. Food and coffee was delicious. Definitely recommendation place to visit in Birmingham !

First restaurant I visited in Birmingham! This small but quaint coffeeshop-vibe Indonesian-themed restaurant made me feel so close to home <3 Music was good, atmosphere was great as well. Try to avoid lunch or rush hour though. We had their mains, sides and teh tarik. 10/10! They even have cute merch if you want to support them further. Thanks for the great food and service. 🙏

My friend & I always end up at Ngopi once a week! It’s the perfect environment to sit and talk for hours. The food and drinks are also very delicious.

It has moved into the golf place. It is not well indicated and it’s just a few tables upstairs. The food stays great, offering a variety of options; light meals, desserts, mains, vegan. The service is quick and staff is friendly.Price are reasonable. Overall I am glad it still exists in Birmingham but it feels strange to be sharing it with a golf place.

Deliciously authentic Indonesian food! The spice level is perfect for anyone who enjoys a kick but doesn’t want it too hot. If you’re an Asian spice lover, can definitely ask for extra spice. The beef is scrumptiously flavoured and has a lovely bite to it.

A hidden gem. The coffee is especially good - smooth and flavoursome. The food is also tasty and we especially love the variety. Very friendly service and a fantastic vibe. Will certainly come back again!

Just visited this new coffee spot and I’m really impressed! • The decoration is super nice – cozy and modern, perfect for relaxing or working. • The staff are great – very friendly and welcoming. • The coffee tastes really good, especially the cappuccino. Smooth and rich! • There’s a lovely outdoor seating area too, great for sunny days. It is a bit pricier than other popular coffee chains, but honestly, the vibe and quality make it worth it. Definitely coming back!

I needed a little pick me up before I headed to get my hair done. The cafe was so chic and staff were so friendly! I picked up an ice mocha and it was so good! Coffee beans were 👌

Perfect breakfast spot, the urban vibe here is really impressive, the breakfast is an exceptional gourmet delight! Would highly recommend

The food and coffee mostly hit the mark, but inconsistent service can really affect the overall experience. That can be a bummer, especially if you’re enjoying the flavors but the wait time or attentiveness isn't quite there, there is always room for better customer service!

Really lovely and bright spot in the JQ. Great for people watching and remote working with some delicious although slightly expensive food items. Lovely friendly staff and very relaxed vibe with some cheerful dogs warming up every visit!

The food was good, the location was good, the place looked great and it was a good find. The charter said they value gig customer service, so the person who served us must have been having a bad day. Later as they were tidying another table away, they really weren't happy about it. Think they need to find another job.

This place is so lovely. It's really relaxed, welcoming and the food is great. I get anxious going out, because you don't know how each business works from place to place, but Urban cafe has clear signage and instruction; you can take a seat, and order at the till when you're ready. This was actually really helpful to me. The staff are so polite and helpful. The place is clean, the menu options are great. My poached eggs were perfect! Honestly, can't fault it.

Corrections added; I have been frequenting this establishment for about Three months now usually for a coffee and if the bakery items look tempting a slice of cake, I popped into the Steam Room today at about 14:15 and ordered a Flat White and a Raspberry and Matcha Blondie which looked amazing, the young person serving duely lifted the glass Closhe and chose the smallest and lacklustre piece with no Rasberry or Matcha in sight, I asked the young person if they were the same cake as it looked like an end piece of Sponge cake, they replied "its from the same batch"! The young person looked at me incredulous that I had asked if it was the same cake, they reluctantly asked if I wanted to change it but was shocked that this person thought it ok to offer an end piece of sponge the only piece that looked like this for £3.50 a slice!! Needless to say I left it and will not be frequenting this establishment in the future.

the coffee was above average, the staffs were super kind. should note that they don’t do sandwiches anymore (asked and told they stopped serving it two years ago, but it is hard to adjust reviews on the Google map so there are still photos of nice looking brunch menus..)

coffees are great. the barista said he puts the same amount of shots in a large cappuccino than in a regular which is weird. also i filled the stamp card and ordered my usual coffee (extra shot and syrup) and was told i’d have to pay for the extra shot and syrup. Not quite in the spirit of a “free” coffee after purchasing so many and being a regular customer.

What a great little place tucked away in the heart of Harbourn's suburbia. These guys really know their stuff & make coffee superbly - batch brew (using what looked like a Bonavita brewer), chemex & espresso. They are using the fabulous hasbean beans (single origin and blend). I also would highly recommend their breakfast/brunch which was superbly done when we visited. Apparently pancakes are now on the menu...so will be back to try those no doubt soon!!

The coffee, cakes, and food are always great. I’ve been a customer here for years, ever since the place opened, and always enjoyed it and thought highly of it. However, over the last few months, the current staff seems to have a chip on their shoulder every time we go in. Between the looks of disgust / looking up and down at us, and the short answers, the place is slowly becoming sour due to the staff’s behaviour.

An amazing morning for coffee! Nice and Clean! Thank you so much!

Nice little place, relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. The coffee I had probably one of the best I’ve had.

I've had one of the best nights in Birmingham, I didn't expect that. The city definitely needs more places like that, especially with Heritage Nights Group as a tunes provider. Thank You.

It's hard to find a place to drink good tea. Good blends and brewing are hard enough, but tea is also about atmosphere. I hit up cafe Artum and I'm glad I did. It's more than a tea shop (it does coffees, sandwiches, cakes, hosts a chess and book club, and has a great collection of music records on display). My blend was brilliantly balanced and my friend said the brownie he had was "top... top quality!" One of the owners is a friend of mine. I know him to be a man of ideas, passion, and a committed artist. It shows in the quality of what he serves- they're crafted. What really struck me though was how peaceful the shop was (I loved the soft lofi-esque music playing). Time moved differently in Cafe Artum. It's the perfect space to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre and the office. An oasis. Independent shops have character- this one especially. Do check it out!

Great place happy to support local independent coffee shops also have a excellent range of vinyls to purchase wow!

Amazing music, interior is absolutely fabulous and the sandwiches and drinks are decent. There should be more places like this in Birmingham where people can relax and wind down.

Great venue with selection of vinyl and magazines, food served by Hockley Social Club street food traders change time to time. Events are amazing and supporting local artists and musicians. Highly recommended to check it out when you are in Jewellery Quarter!

Really great cafe! One of the best made coffees I've had in Brum. Love the atmosphere and combined with vinyl it's perfect. Wasn't going to stay long but ended up having lunch. Very tasty salad simply made. Exactly as it should be :)

Amazing new place for music and coffee lovers. The owner has done an amazing job with the look and feel of the venue, breathing new life into a sadly degrading part of Birmingham. The music is always flowing and your going to be asking what artist is currently playing and maybe even pick up a vinyl. Can't recommend enough!

Popped in yesterday morning (around 8.20am) for a coffee and pastry. Lady on the till was absolutely lovely. Perfect customer service and made me feel so welcome and happy in the morning. Such a nice change, as so many coffee shops nowadays seem focused on getting you out the door as soon as possible. The coffee was delicious, pastry too. Student discount means it works out much cheaper than competing coffee shops and with much higher quality coffee. Plus, so so many vegan options here! Will definitely be back soon :)

Wonderfully made coffee, bold in flavour and looked great! Atmosphere and staff had exactly the vibe I was after for a coffee on a chilly morning! Top spot, would recommend to anyone visiting for the day.

First things first, the coffee is incredible, so many years I would go to the bigger chains, thank god I found 200degrees, never switching again ! Secondly and most importantly the customer service is beyond amazing ! The blonde lady is so welcoming and friendly and thanks to her and this great coffee shop, I don’t mind being late as long as I get my cortado (or something sweet sometimes)😅

Service felt a bit unorganised. The matcha wasn’t great….I tried the guava one, but it tasted more like a sour juice. The coffee was okay, but nothing memorable.

One of my favorite places. Great selection of pastries and coffee, and I absolutely love the matcha latte here. Very delicious! Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff who always smile and behave warmly.

I visited the coffee shop yesterday with my friends and was lucky enough to be looked after by Elena. She was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. She suggested I download the 200 degrees app - something I haven’t thought about it - and it was such a great idea! Not only do I get rewards and perks, but it also saves me time and even helps me skip the queue when I’m in a rush. Such a thoughtful touch that shows how much she cares about her customers. Elena really went the extra mile to make our visit special, and that personal attention makes all the difference. On top of that, the drinks and food were absolutely delicious. Thank you, Elena for your kindness, your smile, and for making our coffee stop feel so much brighter!!

Our go-to coffee shop in Birmingham town centre. It's always a pleasant visit! Customer service is brilliant & the ambience is great. Jess was so kind to my daughter on our recent visit.

The cats are sweet here, there are definitely a range of personalities - some are quite playful and others are a bit less sociable, which is okay. However even if you just pet a few particular cats, they scratch you or attempt to do so... perhaps an age restriction might be good, because we noticed multiple children who made the kitties look quite frightened. Besides that the food tastes amazing and the staff are very accommodating (thanks)! There are SO many brilliant choices on the menu, it was difficult to decide🐱

Great atmosphere, lovely staff and so many toys and climbing shelves for the cats! The cats all seemed really happy and confident (my favourite was Milk), and there was a wide range of food and drink to choose from their menu. Would also recommend to anyone who is travelling by train as its right next to the train station xx

This was a lovely way for me and my older children to spend an hour. The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed with plenty of laid back sofa seating and arm chairs. The drinks and food menu is all very reasonably priced. The cats are just adorable. The only thing that was frustrating was a couple of younger children who persisted to run at the cats and be very overbearing whenever they appeared which was intimidating for the cats. The biggest frustration was that the parent sat scrolling through their phone oblivious, letting the children get on with it which is really not appropriate. Inevitably one of the children was scratched and they left shortly afterwards which was a relief as there was only adults and older children left and the cats seemed to be immediately more relaxed. This is no way a criticism of the cafe at all and the cats are in their home environment and I feel that parents of younger children need to be more aware of this and accompany their children around and relay the rules to them so as not to overwhelm the cats. We will definitely be visiting here again.

I took my niece for her birthday and we had a lovely time. The staff explained everything really well. We had some food and cocktails while we sat in the cafe too. We saw lots of different cats; some were more friendly than others. The kittens were very playful!

Visited the Kitty Cafe today, great little spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat whilst in Birmingham. There were over 20 cats to interact with, The team were very focused on animal welfare with a set of rules in place to make sure the cats are kept safe and happy. The decor was pretty cool too & the cats had a lot of space to move around.

Never had an hour gone by so quick. Every cat was a delight and a unique personality, the layout was funky and fun and the blackcurrant blondie was delicious! Also just when I thought I'd seen all the cats suddenly there was more I hadn't seen 😲 Any pet lovers would enjoy this!

The cafe on a whole was a nice place, with lots of cats and plenty of places for them to go if they didn’t want fuss. However I do think this venue should have a child free policy for kids under a certain age. I understand that the kids get excited to see the cats but I found that whenever I was approached by a cat it was chased off by an unsupervised child clearly not following the rules. Because of this the cats seemed anxious. The service was also very slow, our food took almost an hour to come, I understand it was busy but we only had an hour at the table. As soon as the food finally arrived we were approached by a member of staff telling us that our time was up and as soon as we finished the food we must leave, so we ended up not even finishing it. If you want to come here, I would recommend coming in school times so it isn’t filled with children chasing cats around. But I personally wouldn’t come here again.

Warehouse Cafe has been on my agenda for a long, long time! I'm not vegan but have had spells of it in the past and had heard the food here was delicious and I can honestly say I wasn't disappointed at all! Considering the pandemic and the weight of restrictions facing many places, especially independents, I was ao impressed by the quality of the food! It may just look like burger and chips but wow... thkse chips are some of the best I've had - anywhere! They are so light and crispy, and lightly seasoned with herbs, soft in the middle... I ordered more! Then you get to the burger, perfectly toasted brioche with this amazing burger which was unlike any bean-type burger I've had before... with the melted vegan cheese that ACTUALLY tasted like cheese... this wicked sauce and fresh salad... with a fantastic vegan mayo dipping sauce... absolutely brilliant 👌🏾🔥 and the vegan oreo brownie... 🤤🤤🤤 can't wait to go back!!!

This cafe/vegan restaurant is really a gem! The burger was fantastic, one of the best I’ve had around! It’s a very chill, relaxing environment with a friendly staff. They have a great menu with options for all different plant based eaters, including desserts at the counter, drinks and specials. The food tasted fresh, was very flavourful and very well presented. It was also a really good amount of food for the price. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

The Warehouse Cafe is a gem in digbeth. Their vegan style banana blossom fish and chips & Vegan Kebab burger and chips meals were fantastic! They have a great variety of craft beers available and a wonderful selection of homemade cakes too. The Cafe's interior is pretty basic; there are sofas with a bookcase at one end of the room and basic chairs and tables around the rest of the room. This creates a relaxed environment but I can see how this would people off from visiting! I am glad I overlooked this minor detail and checked our their menu; the courses look and taste delicious!

There’s a really cosy feel about this place. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the products they serve. Had a Groupon voucher for my birthday from work buddies (2 x courses and a glass of wine for 2). The food (pictured) was delicious. Had to wait a while for it to arrive as the place was busy and everything was cooked fresh, to order. The street it’s in feels a little ‘edgey’ but couldn’t recommend this place enough.

What an excellent place tucked away near Moor Street station. Easy to get to and offering a great vegetarian menu with some vegan options thrown in. My food arrived looking beautiful and I was already planning my return visit while eating. Plus their desserts! As someone who usually refrains, seeing a banana cake on the Specials board was enough to persuade me. Absolutely delightful. Bring your friends.

The new Warehouse Cafe is amazing! Their food is always brilliant, beautiful, delicious and nutritious! If you're there, make sure to check out the daily offers! You can't go wrong with those either! Also big kudos for building a community in Digbeth!

Went for lunch with friends, speaking as a meat lover, aware that vegetarian foods cater to different tastes. Burger was ok for being a vegetarian meal, but it's noticeably dry (would've tried a different dish but it was not available that day). The chips are especially good. Brownie was strong, but also very dry which is only partly aided by the ice cream. However the consensus is their "Fish" and chips are good.

Food here is excellent. They use quality ingredients which comes through and the flavour is brilliant. Leaves the taste buds tingling. Service was good and the place is kept clean

It is a very busy spot if your looking for brunch. Staff are okay but dont bother too much with guests. Some of them were abit moody which was a put off. The food is nice and has good vegetarian options.

Boston Tea Party in Harborne is a gem. The food is absolutely delicious, the drinks are spot on, and the whole vibe is super cosy. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better.

Met up with my friend at her fave place. Such a chilled atmosphere, waited a few mins for a table, not long. Sign of a good place if it's busy! Perfectly cooked breakfast, yummy latte.. I'm hoping my friend wants to meet up again! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

The BTP were able to accommodate a large party for afternoon tea for a retirement party. With the perfect dry sunny weather we were able to sit in the courtyard together. The service was impeccable and they were great hosts ensuring we had everything we needed. At great value we had a delicious and varied selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes. We felt very looked after and nothing was too much for the staff. They made the experience very special. We often go for breakfast and lunch and now we have experienced a large party there we will definitely recommend to others and be back! Thank you so much to the team.

A fantastic venue. Great coffee and beautiful food with a regularly updated menu. Great place to come to work (very good WiFi) or for pleasure. Staff are very friendly, brilliantly led by Junior. They are always prepared to tailor a dish to personal preference as well. Great place

I eaten here many times with my kids and friends also with kids. As with all BTPs, the coffee and cake is very decent - I am partial to a flat white and the lemon drizzle cake. The food is great, with plenty of options for all diets and appetites, and the staff are always accommodating for our additional requests. I've never had a visit where the staff haven't been helpful and professional - no mean feat given numerous toddlers. There is a covered outdoor area with heating in the courtyard, which is great for containing said toddlers without worrying you are subjecting everyone else to our noise. There are some retained historic bits to the building which give it a nice bit of character - such as stone stairs slightly warn with use.

I was really excited to visit here following a recommendation from my wife and her mother, and I really was not disappointed. On arrival the staff were friendly and welcoming and we were quickly seated at a table, and provided with menus for food and drinks. The menu is quite varied and everything sounded so nice, I struggled to decide as it's not a type of cuisine I'm familiar with, but I made some choices based on the clear descriptions. Drinks were served quickly, and we had to wait a little while for food (this is clearly stated on the menu). When the food arrived, it was well presented in a combination of bowls and square wooden trays and looked very appetising. Everything I ordered was lovely, and everything I tasted from the rest of the party's dishes was equally good. I particularly enjoyed the lamb soup (I forget the menu name) but I had such a depth of flavour, it made me really happy. Desserts were chosen from a cabinet near the front of the store, and we're very enjoyable, again in line with the cuisine a little different from every day fare elsewhere. Particular mention to Lerla and Ferdi who provided excellent service the whole time we were there. Would I visit again, yes, most definitely, perhaps brunch next time as the breakfast menu looks exciting.

Tried today nice atmosphere and tasty food lamb shwarma could be more better as it was vert mild spices and over cooked But pistachio cheese cake is winner One of the best cheese cake i ever tasted

I’ve been visiting demascena for many years, their staff are always so warm & welcoming along with their exceptional variety of drinks & cosy atmosphere. Particularly love the authentic Middle Eastern decor, it definitely adds charm to your experience. Thanks to Mohammed for always accommodating me & my friends, your service is greatly appreciated! Highly recommend :)

It was just okay. Been there 3 times. Food not that impressive, small portions and different from what we expected. Especially shakshuka which felt like eggs served on watery, tinned chopped tomatoes. I ate shakshuka in many different places in the UK and abroad and this was the first time it came in this form. I expressed my opinion and got the answer from the chef that is the way they serve it. That's fine, it's their right to make own versions and I don't criticise your choice. It's just not the taste I was expecting or liked. The exterior is lovely, nice atmosphere, good table service and attentive staff.

I visited Damsina Restaurant and ordered falafel and a fried pie. Honestly, everything was excellent 👌: Taste: Very delicious with authentic flavor. Quality: Fresh ingredients in every bite. Service: Fast and friendly. Overall experience: Wonderful, highly recommended. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really good food and nice vibe for brunch. Service is a bit slow on occasion but staff are very friendly

Ordered 2 chicken shawarma wraps as take out and first they got the order wrong and charged me over £30! Then after sorting that I went home to eat it and found the worst chicken wrap I have ever eaten. As you can see in the picture its like eating boiled chicken with no flavour, chicken shawarma is supposed to have seasoning and a grilled taste. There was none of that and to make it worse it was doused in mayonnaise. No salad in the wrap. Just boiled chicken and mayo, I actually couldn't eat it after 2 bites. So disappointing, will never be ordering from here again. Much better and cheaper places on ladypool road and Coventry that know how to do chicken shawarma properly.

Thank you so much to you and your amazing team for the incredible afternoon we had yesterday! ♥️ Everyone had such a wonderful time, and the food was absolutely delicious. From my initial enquiry to the baby shower itself, everything was seamless, and the communication was fantastic. We weren’t the easiest group to cater for—with vegans, gluten-free, and nut allergies—but you handled everything perfectly. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another special event with you again. Thank you so much! Lizzie xx

All I can say is WOW !!! I had a VIP afternoon tea and it was Amazing you must try this. Everything was perfect from the large selection of tea's to the gorgeous sandwiches to the scrumptious cakes. Staff are lovely and attentive. I suggest that you have to go there very hungry because you will not finish it. But they box up what you don't have to take home. I will soon be back......

Beautiful afternoon tea experience So much food that we had another meal worth of food to go home with and the food was absolutely delicious Staff were so kind and friendly also 🩷

The best afternoon tea 🫖 Gluttons in tettenhall village has to be hands down the best afternoon tea… This quaint little tea shop screams delicious. The fresh sandwiches with an array of fillings and the most perfect scones you can have! The service is hearty and warm, I’m probably biased as I’m a true wolves by heart. But if you haven’t tried this place… you need to!

Wow!...wanted a hot drink and a sit down this morning. Firstly, I got the 'look' from toe to top, which made me feel I had walked into the wrong place.... I was asked to choose a place to sit. I sat, decided what I fancied and waited. Over hearing several different conversations, being looked at, etc. Not once did they say are you ready to order, we do it at the till now. So eventually I went up and said do I have to come up and order now, I thought you came to the table. No not done that for ages and you were told. Well, I'm not daft or hard of hearing and if that was the case I would of gladly approached the till. Well, I left. Just so very rude and hugely lacking in attention to detail with regards to customers, especially as there was only a handful of customers. Clearly would rather discuss fake eyelashes.. How sad in such a lovely village.

Lovely place with excellent food. Great for a treat or just a slighter nicer lunch/breakfast. Cakes are definitely just for a treat

Absolutely beautiful afternoon tea today for my birthday. Warm, welcoming, nothing was too much trouble, made our 8 year old incredibly welcome and he got his own service too. Smiles all round, customers and staff. Highly recommended

really cool place, lovely interior and lots of space so never waited for a table. Good food and drinks too, albeit a little expensive but kind of expected for the uniqueness. would come again and again. bar staff super friendly too and encourage you to taste the more creative drinks before you buy 👍🏻

Food was delicious! Partner hard hearty English and I had the Benedict bagel, was lovely. Table was a little small for two people but overall would I go again? Yes!

Cherry Reds is a hidden gem! Lovely traditional Cafe Bar with nice decor and a cosy atmosphere. Menu selection is extensive and includes a wide variety of vegan/vegetarian options alongside traditional English food and drinks. The Diddy Breakfast was excellent quality and tasted delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. An added bonus is the selection of cask and keg ales available. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Birmingham!

Amazing independent cafe, perfect Sunday breakfast / brunch. Great vegan options! Even had vegan American style pancakes! Will definitely be back, and really friendly staff.

This is my favourite cafe in Birmingham. It is always friendly, is so handy for New Street Station and serves good coffee and food. There is always something of interest on the walls. There are good veggie options. If you're in Birmingham then visit.

Lovely cafe open until late. We got a brew and cake before the theatre. Brew delicious, carrot cake ok, cream not cream cheese

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with warm lighting and comfortable seating that made it perfect for both catching up with friends or working solo. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The menu offered a great variety of options, from freshly brewed coffee to delicious pastries and hearty brunch dishes. I tried their avocado toast and a latte, both of which were absolutely delightful—the toast was perfectly seasoned, and the coffee was rich and smooth. The prices were reasonable for the quality, and the portion sizes were just right.

Amazing service, very friendly staff, great variety of tapas, love that the menu is divided into sections according to dietary preferences, such as meat fish and vegan. Its great to see they offer to make any option gluten free as well. Overall the food quality was outstanding, very generous portions as well and great price to quality ratio. Definitely visiting this place again very soon!

Fantastic food and friendly service. Always a pleasure and I will continue to be a loyal customer.

Absolutely loved it! Can’t wait to come back. I would highly recommend this place! It has a good variety of gluten free and vegetarian food as well.

First time in Wolverhampton. Very friendly staff and gorgeous food. Will definitely be returning 😁

Delicious food and very, very nice staff! My friend spilled coffee on her bag and the woman literally wiped the coffee off it for her when she didn't have to, it was very nice of her. Really don't have more to say apart from amazing food and lovely people, I definitely recommend it, especially if you're into Mediterranean food, if not then you will probably love it anyway!

beautiful food as always! Tonight's choice was lasagne, garlic bread and quesadilla wedges, with homemade tiramisu to take home, followed by the best Turkish coffee! So much choice on the menu, and always tasty and fresh+ staff are welcoming and always make you feel at home.

Amazing food, warm and friendly staff. Mediterraneanesque.

Waiting an hour or so for a train, could see this place from the ground floor, thought it would be perfect to spend my hour! Escalators up but, there is a lift too just not so easy to see, as I had suitcases, that’s for me. Lovely pleasant staff, found my seat next to the glass railing with a commanding view of the bull. Picked from a good menu, tasted great, plenty of it, well presented. Coffee was good too. And you aren’t stuck in a shop, the people watching is great! I didn’t know the bill performs on the hour!! A very pleasant hour, thoroughly recommend.

We had a wonderful Afternoon Tea at Café Concerto. The service was at a high standard, being well looked after by Giuseppe and the team who kept our tea topped up and their hospitality friendly and informative. The food was flavoursome, the egg mayo sandwich a must-have! The spread was colourful and well presented, offering a wide variety of textures and fillings. The scones were soft, and the little patisseries were delightful. The tea selection is great, and you have unlimited refills. Being inside Grand Central, it's easily accessible and has a relaxing atmosphere, natural light all around with comfortable seating. Would highly recommend for friends and couples alike!

I stopped by Café Concerto while passing through New Street Station. The café itself was fine – decent coffee and a light bite, though I did find it a bit on the expensive side for what it was. That said, the atmosphere was lively and the standout was definitely the moving bull statue nearby – such a cool surprise to see that in a train station! It added a really fun vibe to the visit. Overall, not a bad place for a quick stop if you're in transit, but be prepared to pay a little extra for the convenience and surroundings.

The Tarte was really delicious! The staff are really lovely and friendly. The staff prepared our meal straight away, no waiting. Relaxing atmosphere. Thank you!

This place is great, I go for the Brook Breakfast. 2 Eggs done perfect, 2 bacon rashers, 2 tasty sausage, tomatoes and 2 large toasted and buttered pieces of tiger loaf. Whats not to like, food always hot, staff always friendly. Wide range of food on menu. Covid rules are strictly adhered to. P. S, Check out their cake selection. P. P. S Try the Pulled Pork Tiger loaf sandwich /13cm Bap (see pictures) Pulled Pork, Stuffing, Apple sauce and gravy UPDATE: Collected today an Afternoon Tea takeaway for 5 people. Totally fresh Sandwiches, Pork Pies, Sausage rolls, Quiche and much more. A variety of Sandwiches and Cakes. Great Value and Quality. See picture, shows all of quantity the cakes provided but only part of the savouries and sandwiches as we kept some in fridge until required. UPDATE: Christmas afternoon tea. 2022 Went for Christmas afternoon tea today. See photos. Missing from the pictures are the Scones Jam and Clotted cream, also a few more cakes which we consumed before photographing. I'm more of a food guy than photographer I'm afraid. Great price, friendly staff, meal comes with endless tea/coffee. What you can't eat will be boxed for you to take home.

Wanted to try a new spot for breakfast this morning, so quick TripAdvisor search lead us to this place! What a find! Nice clean cafe, with plenty of options on the menu, catering for all dietary needs. Food was cooked nice and fresh, on fresh tiger bread. Coffee came out nice and hot, and could not fault the pricing at all! Some awesome cakes on offer aswell - will definitely be visiting again!

Beautiful cafe lovely and clean staff lovely and very helpful i recommend the full English 😊 eating indoors disabled accessible parking outside portion size are fantastic for the price lots of value plus the cakes are fantastic as well brilliant place

Very cozy place with very pleasant service, the breakfast was really delicious though the portion was humongous so I wasn’t able to eat all of it. The chocolate milkshake was perfect however my coffee tasted burnt. We ordered pancakes afterwards which were okay, but I believe they were store bought. I recommend this place because of it’s friendly atmosphere, lovely staff and filling breakfast.

⭐ Love Visiting This Quaint Café, But My Recent Experience Was Disappointing I’ve always loved visiting Brook House Coffee Shop, a small quaint place with six maybe seven tables and lovely food. Over the years, I’ve popped in for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and takeaway sandwiches, and I’ve recommended it to friends who have also enjoyed multiple visits. Just last week, I even took my granddaughter to enjoy one of their delicious cupcakes 🧁. A recent visit, however, was disappointing. I had tried calling to place an order but couldn’t get through, so I went in person to place it. The café wasn’t particularly busy, with around 40% of the tables free, yet after waiting several minutes the staff member finally acknowledged me. When I politely asked to place my order to be collected in 30 minutes, I was met with a sigh 😔 and a curt response that a table was coming in in 10 minutes. I said “It’s fine, don’t worry” and walked away without placing the order. As I walked away she mentioned something about calling me, but I didn’t feel it was necessary to continue the conversation. Perhaps she didn’t realise she sighed, but her tone was still sharp. I expect the owners would not be happy if they knew how staff were sighing at customers. I am always polite, as I work in retail and understand how challenging customer service can be. At the time, I thought the staff member might just have been having a bad day. I hadn’t considered writing a review at that point, but seeing a Facebook post 📱 from this evening prompted me to share my experience. The post mentioned that they’ve been the busiest they’ve been in the five years they’ve been open and stated that they do not tolerate customers being rude to staff. Firstly, the owner must be thankful that they’ve been the busiest they’ve ever been, and ultimately they should be, as it helps keep the business running and staff employed. While it’s understandable to be proud of success, the post comes across more as expressing personal frustration than addressing customer experiences professionally. Secondly, I was not rude but simply walked away, which I felt was the best response in the circumstances. If the café staff find it challenging to cope with the volume of customers, perhaps they need more staff or additional support to manage busy periods. In my experience, a smile 🙂 and a little patience go a long way. Taking a short break when feeling stressed can help maintain positive interactions. Clear and calm communication ensures that loyal customers continue to enjoy the café and leaves a lasting positive impression. Finding a way to vent frustrations to a manager rather than taking them out on customers is always the better approach and helps create a more positive experience for everyone.

Amazing, friendly service, fresh crusty bread and loads of bacon, the best bacon sani and tea I've had for ages.

Food was amazing. Staff very friendly. Food arrived promptly. Booking is a must. Will recommend and definitely return 👌

We were heading to a convention in the area and stopped here for breakfast. We were a little early for opening but the lady was kind enough to let us sit and wait inside. It was good that we went in when quiet as we got to explore the art on the walls which is very eclectic and makes for good viewing. There's plenty of space inside and out. Parking is found on the side road or in the back but parking in the back is limited. Food you could order through the QR code on the tables or at the counter and we did both as some of the party weren't comfortable with technology like that and they also wanted to adjust the order. There was a little delay to my food but all due respect to our server, who came to advise that there was a small error in preparing it and it would take just a little longer. The update was really appreciated. Food came and it was tasty! Drinks were nice too. All in all a good place to visit but for a cafe I did find the prices a little expensive for what you get. But the service and food can't be knocked. Enjoy your visit here.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience dining here! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was simply outstanding every dish was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. What made the evening even more special was the service. Zulia and Eliza went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were both attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly, which really elevated the whole experience. From great recommendations to making sure we had everything we needed, their care and hospitality stood out. This place is a gem, and with service like that, I can’t recommend it enough. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Friendly staff, decent prices, and quick turnaround. One of my thoughts on British food is that it lacks flavor, there can be exceptions. We enjoyed the Breakfast, the vegan ash, and pancakes and blueberry. £39.77. On par with USA prices

Visited today for the 1st time and the food is DELICIOUS An interesting setup - tall ceiling, funky colours and order on your phone. The options are varied and included some mexican flavours with guacamole, lime & coriander - all which i LOVE. The hash browns are unique to Boston Tea Party & really tasty. I had the sweetcorn hash - much crispier than the signature hash browns. Super delicious. The winner was the smoked salmon hash - wow. This is one to write home about lol. Its perfectly done. Genius food combination that tastes amazing. Definitely recommend it if you like salmon.

Really great brunch place! I had the Sweetcorn hash, which was delicious! Partner had Eggs Benedict - initially small looking but actually perfect portions (filled us up from 10:30am until 3:30pm. Super quick service on drinks and food (was there on a Monday. Nice appearance inside venue.

We enjoyed a lovely grill brunch date at Boston Tea Party Edgbaston. Lovely location, friendly staff, I was amazing at the speedy of service and most of all the delicious food. Everything was perfect and I would highly recommend! 10/10

I feel like you can’t really go wrong with Boston. I’ve usually like the food and drinks here 9 times out of 10. It’s good also good for lone working if you can’t focus at home and there’s plugs around. Their avocado coffee sounds gross but actually is surprisingly nice. They’re also are one of the few companies left who still use the blue light discount for key workers which is nice also.

Great friendly place to come for a coffee and food. Extensive menu with something for everyone. Service was polite, friendly, and quick. Good quality food at a reasonable price 👌

Came here for breakfast and it did not disappoint. They were all quite reasonably priced as well.. Only thing I would say is the Matcha latte could be a bit less milky

Absolutely spot on. I dont live local but so glad I decided to visit. I had the avocado on toast & and iced caramel latte and both were outstanding. Also very welcoming service and also informative. One very happy customer, I will return when I visit the area again. Thank you!

Very expensive breakfast, 2 breakfasts and a coke and a coffee £29. Took ages to get food and wasn't as good as other places I've been to. Sadly I won't go again because it's way over priced and takes too long to get your food.

The food was ok the staff ignored me only the Asian female member of staff twice I come and always ignored me and so do all the staff in future talk to me. You get a better review and feedback if you all talk to me

Shocking experience today, re ordered breakfast the same as yesterday with extras, paid £24 …. What arrived was 2 slices of bread, 4 alone sausages & a bap with a tiny fried egg on. Missing sausage, missing bacon & when I called to say what I’d received… got told it was my fault…. Obviously no one with any common sense working there. I re ordered only what I ordered yesterday but didn’t get the same !! Arguing on phone, terrible customer service & attitude problem. I mean who pays £24 for a couple of slices of bread, 4 separate sausages & an egg 😆😆 obviously scrambled eggs brain that blames customers for their mistakes

Excellent service as always, staff are friendly and helpful with anything requested. Pricing is justified in the quality and taste of the food. Amazing place, amazing food, amazing staff. Thank you

It’s that good that I’ve been twice within a few days…Friday and back again today! Lux cheese on toast is the best I’ve ever tried. Last time I had it with chips which are an unusual shape but cooked to perfection, taste lovely and great for dipping! Today I had it on its own with the sweet chilli sauce dip, as it’s still very filling. Always great service, when going on a one hour lunch break you need to make sure you can get in, order and eat and back to work again on time-the lovely lady even said we can call ahead in future to order to save even more time, although we have found we have ample time on the occasions we have been even with it being busy. Nice place to meet up with friends and catch up over a coffee and cake or lunch.

Ordered Eggs Benedict and Full Monty, both were fantastic, hollandaise sauce was lovely, sausages and bacon were banging! Nice flavour to the sausage and thick bacon. Service was spot on, both servers were friendly. Would definitely recommend and well worth the price 👌

Not the first time I've been but it is the last. I've been on a couple of occasions with a friend and our two 18 month old children. Both times we were made to feel unwelcome. The first time we went we waited for 10 minutes and no one had come to the table, so we went to order and were told 'if you sit down and wait someone will be over'. This took a further 10 minutes. This seems to be the general attitude of the lady behind the counter as we experienced it both times. However, the food was good. The first time we went, the childrens scrambled egg came with toast. The second time, we were made to pay extra for the toast. We said we wouldn't go again. However, as a glutten for punishment I've been again with my husband (as I said the food had been good previously) today. It wasn't busy, plenty of free tables. Our order was taken, drinks arrived with food. I'd rather have had my drink earlier but I appreciate some like their drink with the food so that is by the by. However the food was cold. My husband had a breakfast and I had a bacon, brie and cranberry baguette with chips. All of it was cold. At no point did anyone come and ask how our food was. When I went to pay, no one asked if everything had been okay. Nothing. I got charged just short of £30 for 2 cold meals and 3 drinks. Needless to say, I definitely won't be returning again. In response to the owner: we visited today (05.04.25). I appreciate that you offer table service, however, waiting 20 minutes for said table service is not good service.

Top notch establishment , the breakfast I had was wonderful really nice and piping hot , really quick friendly service too . 10/10

Good home cooking, with meals freshly prepared. The menu is imaginative and the specials board is worth checking .... As are the curiously shaped chips.

This is a lovely cafe which can get busy so make sure tou reserve a spot. They have a lovely menu with specials and great drinks selection. The smoothies were the perfect consistency and the food presented and tasted great.

Have been frequently visiting Ghales over the past yr, meeting up with a couple of friends for brunch and we always book a table, my latest visit really impressed me as the owner recognised me and also said she recognised the voice of my friend who made the call. Definitely good customer service when you're acknowledged as a regular.

I came to this Italian restaurant for lunch today and it pleasantly surprised me. The environment was comfortable, the food was delicious, and the staff was very professional. They explained each food in detail to the guests, and their service attitude was of the caliber of a star hotel.

My third visit here in 6 months!! Lovely food, 10/10! Authentic, affordable Italian, proper wholesome family run feel, very laidback and excellent service from all staff. Could not recommend enough!! Sat in the outdoor terrace - great ambience. They let us sit and chat for hours, excellent hospitality.

Ordered the specials and it was so tasty, fresh and filling. One of the best calamari I have tasted in the UK. It wasn't oily, the batter was tasty and you could actually taste the squid. Highly recommend.

Wondered where on earth we'd come to when the taxi arrived. I needn't have been worried though. Lovely little restaurant. Proper Italian feel to it. Great choice from the menu and specials. Lady serving us was absolutely lovely.

Had two course meals each, dessert and a bottle of wine for a total of £78. The portions were more than abundant and the taste authentic. Not to mention the welcoming and friendly staff. I strongly recommend going.

I came here for a quick solo meal, the food is authentic, arguably on the same level as sardinia and italy itself, the service was great and the staff friendly. You can't find a better Italian restaurant for the price in Birmingham. I shall most likely return

I just visited Gustami for the first time. I've probably spent a total of three months in Italy over the years, so I knew what I was looking for. I found it all at Gustami! The home made pasta was delicious and so was the pizza - a fantastic thin, crispy base with a sauce where you can taste the freshness of the tomatoes. To top it off, the service was warm and friendly. If you ww want to try real, amazing authentic Italian food, you'll love it here! Park in Tescos and walk round to avoid the low emissions charge.
