Afternoon snack in Birmingham

“I was walking past on one of my strolls and the smell drew me in like I was one of the bisto kids. I was served with an excellent Bacon Egg Sausage and Tomato sandwich which tasted every bit as good as it looked. I consumed it on a very pleasant seating area. The ladies who served me were pleasant. This is an excellent place.”

“The array of bread and pastries are great, with huge variety of both sweet and savoury options to have in or take away. Following suit, the menu is HUGE, especially for brunch, with lots of creative and unique options that you wouldn’t find elsewhere, mostly spins on brunch classics. We had the brisket benny, which was pretty nice. Pulled brisket and hollandaise sauce, with poached eggs and an English muffin. It was good, but didn’t quite live up to our excitement when we read it on the menu, falling a little flat. That being said, it was tasty and we will sure be back to try some other stuff as it all looked fab. I had a plain Crossiant, which unfortunately was verging on stale. Good flavour, but it was very hard and really wasn’t even close to my dreams of a flakey and light pastry. Oh well. The teas we had were very tasty, and the vibes in the place are pretty cool. There’s many rooms to choose from, so it does feel cosy and atmospheric. The staff were also nice, being pretty attentive and got the job done.”

“Had a full English breakfast here very nice will come again. Excellent service”

“I had the pleasure of dining at Rising Café yesterday, and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff providing excellent customer service. My wife ordered the club chicken sandwich, while I had sourdough bread topped with avocado and a fried egg. Both dishes were absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food and the ambiance of the café. I’m already looking forward to returning and exploring more of their menu. Highly recommend!”

“A little hidden gem of yumminess! Staff so friendly and really made my friend baby bash special”

“Great micro pub, friendly atmosphere. Lovely selection of beers. Would recommend visit.”

“Just had a B/S/E baguette from here. First time visiting and was next door so decided to pop in. Food was lovely,the cafe is small only a couple seats,it's more of a takeaway cafe but that suits me just fine.”

“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.”

“Amazing place to eat from, delicious food, a lot of variety to choose from, coffees, smoothies, pasta, rice, lasagna, pasties, croissants and many more. I recommend checking this place out and trying the Morrocan tea and Chicken Pasta.”

“Been in every few weeks for pizza and pasta with my boys, Jo was really chatty and helped us with the menu. Also Jo gave a warm and friendly welcome to me and my kids we liked the food and nice service from Jo as always”

“What a lush little place. Delicious food and really friendly staff. A lovely rustic and cosy atmosphere. Affordable food but decent value. Nice seating area outside and in, lovely decor and nice little touches throughout lovely place for coffee and cake or a delicious light bite.”

“Top end cafe. Very friendly, excellent breakfast. 110%. Proper breakfast.”

“Lovely atmosphere and fab staff. Hot chocolate was yummy!! Definitely recommend”

“Darren made my stay in the next door air bnb a daily pleasure. He's friendly and welcoming. His coffee is great, the food was spot on and the service was the best I've ever had. Thank you Darren. I really enjoyed our chats each morning!”

“Absolutely delighted to have come to this store.. The lovely woman that helped us was honestly a joy.. We were very pleased..”

“Best breakfast I have had in a very long time. I don't eat out very often but I will be back here very soon.”

“I've wanted to try this cafe for some time now. As we were passing today we thought we'd give it a try. Nicely done out cafe, and warm and cozy. unbelievable menu, so much choice, too much. Very reasonable prices. Great fast friendly service and our food was delicious and plentiful. Well worth a visit ...”

“there yesterday great food great banter with the staff just nice to see old school cafe on the high street still the full English was plated and piping hot eggs cooked as I asked and bacon cooked again as asked well done over all great service and well worth visit again when IAM working in the area”

“Loved the vibe of this cafe, the food was excellent too. They've got houseplants and cacti, plus cards and art for sale. We had pancakes and smashed avocado on toast with poached eggs, and both dishes were tasty and good value. The only low point was the food took a while to come out, but they'd just had a food delivery so were quite busy. Overall, a great place for brunch right on knowle high street. We'll be visiting again.”

“Great little cafe. Food was delicious and staff very friendly. Highly recommend”

“Great location and situated close to a main road, so easy to get to - no matter your form of transport. Has a small and convenient car park which holds three cars, which is plenty - if you're popping by for breakfast/lunch to go. Food is delicious and very reasonably priced, especially considering the great portion sizes. I had a bacon, egg and sausage sandwich with two hash browns. Absolutely lovely, it was freshly cooked/made to order in no time at all! My only constructive criticism is that it's cash only, which is a shame in this day and age with card/phone/NFC payments. However, there is a cashpoint just over the road at Tesco - so paying cash is not inconvenient in the slightest. Staff are lovely, friendly and welcoming. Always make a bright start to the day. I go here once a week to support such a wonderful local business.”

“Came here in the 80s and it's still the same we loved it proper back street community boozer”

“Found this cafe by chance when randomly looking nearby, will definitely re-visit when the weather is better as there are some nice walks nearby. The food was great, and the service was quick. I had a chicken pie, and my wife had a jacket potato. Coffee was also good, and we were both surprised by how good the prices were for the quality and the portion sizes.”

“I went here to do some work for a few hours last week and it was a really nice atmosphere. After a while, one of the staff came and asked what I was up to and then brought me a slice of carrot cake on the house! It was so kind.”

“Can't raye food as didn't have any. Went on night out with lads, wicked music, couldn't get off the dancing vibe all night, a night well needed... Halloween night”

“My boyfriend lives in the village this tea shop is in and I’ve gone twice with him before to look around and went in only the other day on Saturday. Each time this cafe has been busy and overcrowded and I’ve felt so bad for the staff but each time, they’ve been exceptional. Smiley, friendly, quick and good at their jobs especially in a busy Christmas period. The food is beautiful and always quick and hot out of the kitchen; my eggs benedicts have always been perfect. I wanted to get everyone’s names so I could leave them here but they were so busy I couldn’t ask and they were so understanding when we moved tables and screwed up their seating charts even if we didn’t mean too. I can’t wait to come back again and try more of the menu, I hope all the staff enjoy their Christmas and know that they’re brilliant.”

“Had a fantastic meal at the Tame otter on Wednesday. The food was delicious & the service as good. A lovely lady named Ros was so attentive & friendly as our waitress . We look forward to coming back soon.”

“Loved! I wasn’t too sure what to get as the menu was so big but the lady serving helped me and a friend order! The brown sugar was yum and my friend enjoyed the Oreo one. Will defo be back”

“Another awsome order... Smashed burger was brilliant....great balance of bun.cheese and meat... Nicely marinated... Added with fully loaded chips.. Brilliant a 10/10”

“Great location, good coffee, friendly and helpful staff”
