Friendly café in Solihull

“Really lovely vintage café in the heart of Solihull. We were given a very warm welcome and a great afternoon tea (and had so much that we had to take some home with us at the end!). Plenty of tasty sandwiches, scones and cakes, lashings of tea and really friendly service - highly recommended.”

“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.”

“Visited Mell Square Friday afternoon. Food, staff and place itself absolutely faultless. Charcoal sourdough bread with smashed avocado and salmon with added halloumi was absolutely beautiful. Finally found a place with healthy, nourishing food. My Latte was delicious too. Place very clean with also clean and modern toilet upstairs. Very friendly staff. the I'll be back for sure!”

“Nice service and good quality food”

“My wife and myself have been visiting here for a number of years and have all ways been impressed with both the quality and the quantity of the food. A warm welcome by Lilly and her staff is the order of the day. So satisfied with The Oriental Jade that we have introduced a number of friends and family here. We have found that when we have ordered meals for delivery they were piping hot and just as delicious as when eating in there. Not one single complaint in over 5 years.”

“Great little cafe. Pleased I avoided food at Euston on my early journey to Hampton in Arden as now enjoying a freshly cooked bacon bap.”

“Such lovely staff! Cant do enough for you And always willing to open early so I'm able to get my coffee - great atmosphere, super clean and very accommodating Excellent coffee too! Definitely recommend x”

“Popped in for breakfast. Food was amazing. BIG breakfast was correct. Would definitely recommend”

“Edit: We have returned to Java Lounge Blythe Valley park today and I must say we have thoroughly enjoyed our visit. My coffee was beautifully made and delicious and the children loved their milkshakes. The bearded cheerful chap that made the drinks was attentive and we felt well looked after. We will be returning in future. Thank you. Original review: We have driven past it so many times on our way to and back from VA, so anticipation was building up. We finally stopped off for the first time at Blythe Valley Java Lounge to have a drink on 24/11/18 at around 4pm. First impression was great - decor is lovely, it was clean and welcoming. My children have chosen 2 milkshakes and I went for caramel nutty latte ( or something along those lines, can’t remember exact name). Kids loved their shakes, but my latte was sickening sweet, there must have been a third of a cup or more syrup there. I could not drink it. I raised the issue at the till with a person who made the drink but he said that’s just how it is, it’s caramel after all. I have had caramel lattes from most other established coffee chains including one that is a fast food and never had to leave the drink barely touched. To sum it up, even though my children loved their drinks, we will not be returning as I left very disappointed.”

“Fantastic place to have a bite to eat. Incredibly friendly, really tidy and clean place, good value and the food tastes lovely! I would go there again!”

“Great coffee and helpful staff. Good place for people watching.”

“Dottie's is wonderful. My dog Bella has been going to them since she was a puppy and absolutely loves going. She runs up to Christine's front door and doesn't even look back. She stays with Christine when I go on holidays and I know she is safe and having the best time. Christine has helped turning my little puppy into a wonderful young dog. Who is social and friendly. Loving everyone. The best thing I ever did was going to Dottie's for day care and holiday cover. Thank you so much.”
