Visited here after being recommended by someone we know. The interior is a little run down and dingy but nothing too bad, it seemed more like the style they were going for than anything else. We ordered a flat white and espresso and 2 of the egg on toast with cheese dishes. The coffee smelt quite bad when it arrived, had a very strong acidic vinegar smell and tasted even worse, very acidic like it was gone off. I took 2 sips and was unable to drink any more, it was easily the worst coffee I've ever had. We were very confused and wondering if it was just us because everyone else seemed to be drinking their coffee and the reviews about the coffee are very good. We were hopeful that the food would redeem the bad coffee, however it was not what we were expecting at all. We were expecting egg on toast with some cheese on top but we got some very lightly toasted bread with a cold boiled egg cut in half and a block of cheese. Very odd, it's like we had to make it ourselves and it wasn't very tasty. Also just a single cold egg for £8 is very poor value for money. Overall very disappointing and again we were quite confused because all the reviews are good.

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!

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.

I travel from Nottingham to Birmingham every week for work, and I always make sure to stop by my favourite coffee shop. Hands down the best coffee in Birmingham consistently excellent, with new beans to try from around the world. Great value for money and some seriously tasty sweet treats too. Josh is always keen to explain how each coffee is best served, which makes the experience even better. An absolute must try! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very pleasant. Convenient to New Street station. We arrived at the airport less than an hour ago then into Birmingham and out the door to here! My daughter wanted a coffee stop with good reviews. This met the criteria. We were not disappointed: a very welcome Latte and Flat White with cakes. Perfect. Friendly and efficient staff too. All good here.

Nice place excellently located. Close to the central station. The matcha cheesecake was very nice. Also the large single cocktail-style ice cube in the coffee was a nice touch! Much nicer than having standard ice coffee ice.
