The food is fresh, tasty, and served promptly—perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast before work. Highly recommend if you’re looking for good food and friendly service to kick off your morning.”

“An important part of Birmingham's past and present. Just stunning, grand but cosy and an environment you can really sink into. The staff are top notch!”

“Been meaning to come here for a while, heard good things and I wasnt disappointed. Firstly thr location is pretty good, close to town but far enough so you can get easily parked. There is free parking just outside for at least 2 hours, plenty of time. Upon entering,there's a cool water feature with the cafe logo. Thr ambience is nice and it's decorated very nicely. The staff are really nice too very friendly and the food and drinks is served very quick. We went at a busy time and still got our drinks n food pretty quickly. Thr food itself is great very tasty nice range and perfect for breakfast or lunch. I had a persian breakfast and the flavours were great. The drinks were really nice too and made fresh and nicely presented. Overall it was a great experience and will definitely be back!!”

“The windlass cafe is a very friendly and welcoming cafe, all staff are friendly and polite. We sat outside with our dog and the lady came out with a dog biscuit for our dog. Very dog friendly. Great location near to the locks. Food and drink very nice.”

“I regularly visit this café, and I must say, it’s a hidden gem! The breakfasts are superb—flavorful and satisfying. The staff are not only polite and friendly but also incredibly efficient. Your orders are taken and delivered with a smile, and the speed of service ensures you won't be kept waiting long. The recent remodelling has transformed the cafe into a fresh, open space that feels both modern and welcoming. The addition of decking out front is perfect for those finer weather days, offering a lovely spot to relax and enjoy your meal outdoors. Prices are very reasonable, offering great value for the quality of food and service you receive. As an added bonus, there's a car valeting service right next door, making it convenient to get your car cleaned while you dine. (Which is why I visit regularly) In summary, I highly recommend this cafe for a visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a place that promises a wonderful traditional breakfast experience, especially if you're in the mood for a 'full english' or a tasty sandwich.”

“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.”

“Lovely little cafe, absolutely love the breakfasts here! Ive eaten here many times and the breakfast are always top notch. Service is always great. I imagine the ppl that write poor reviews must be just unhappy with their lives. You will struggle to find a better breakfast!”

“Had a lovely bacon and egg sandwich cooked and prepared just how I liked it, could not have wished for a better place to eat it in either, it was clean and tidy, the staff were friendly and welcoming, I even went back later for a slice of home made lemon drizzle cake which was well worth the money I paid, will definitely be seeing me again in the near future”

“First time visit very enjoyable sandwich will call in again when next in in the area.”

“Lovely little cafe, the is a large selection of games of multiple styles and genres so plenty to choose from! The food is a really good portion size and great value for money alongside being super tasty. And to top it all off the owner Adam is lovely and nothing is ever too much trouble for them - always look forward to my visits to the cafe!”

“We visited this morning and tried breakfasts. The best taste ever we tried in the UK so far. Presentation and quality are good and match the price. Coffees are a big surprise. We love it. Will try the lunch dishes next time. The only thing that needs to be mentioned is the music, too loud.”
