Modern café in Birmingham

“Top mark's for being open, after most other good coffee shops had closed. A notable mention also, for taking Amex, when many places do not (not judging, I get it, but, nice for me that Elio do). Burnt Basque Cheesecake, if you please. That's cool. Atmosphere is light, bright, and airy (and a bit noisy, like most big spaces are). And the coffee? Expertly poured, for sure. Good stuff. Edit: OMG, I've just devoured the cheesecake .... absolutely superb.”

“I had the nicest, fattest bacon sandwich. There was at least 4 rashers as apose to the 2 most places give you. It was quite possibly the best bacon sandwich I've had. The staff are welcoming and unlike a lot of the food establishments such as the 2 chippy's they accept card payments.”

“I just wanted to say that I visited your restaurant last year and had an amazing experience! The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. I can't believe I forgot to leave a comment earlier, but I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed my visit. Keep up the great work!”

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

“After an initial order was not in stock, I was offered some suitable alternatives and when I'd made my choice it arrived promptly. A revised receipt email swiftly followed to confirm a refund for the difference in price. Communication good throughout with helpful updates on the status of my order.”

“Top notch food and brilliant service Couldn't thank the team enough!”

“Fantastic Hong Kong style dishes, with a similar vibe to a cha chaan teng (but fancier). I had the macaroni with fried egg and luncheon meat in bone broth; HK style french toast with biscoff spread; and HK milk tea. I feel much more prepared to take on the cold winter now! Reasonable prices for the quantity and quality of food.”

“Called here following a walk around the park. Good drinks and service on a nice sunny day. It's now our regular cafe to visit for a quick strawberry milk shake after our walk. Thank-you, be back again soon.”

“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.”

“Has large breakfast cooked how I asked it to be scrambled egg was good well done bacon was good pork sandwich was beautiful”

“Took my granddaughter to see Aladdin having never been to the Core before and was blown away by the venue, the show and the pantomime itself It was fun , witty , and the dame( who by the way was excellent) with lots of audience participation . It was very up to date with jokes about the area , the news and take offs of television like mastermind and the film ghost . It was a joy for the children, but also a brilliant afternoon out for the adults Best pantomime I’ve seen ever !!! Elaine Rayner”

“A lovely welcoming place. Many activities for all ages. I enjoy crafts on Wednesday afternoons.”

“We was really craving Boba tea at like 21:30 at night, so we searched and Boba head was the only place open. We got there to see they were about to close but opened up again just to make us our drinks. We ordered a mango fruit tea, brown sugar milk tea and matcha milk tea. It was honestly one of the best boba teas I’ve ever had, the atmosphere was amazing and the kind lady who made us our drinks was so accommodating and warm. Such a lovely place, would recommend to anyone.”

“The food, desserts and the mojito were on point. Really tasty! The cone pizza and the ice cream cone were so unique and delicious. The costumer service was 5*.”

“A totally unique experience on cov Rd. Very nice and setting is awesome. Service was spot on very friendly staff. We sat upstairs and there was free water available to help clear your palette and be ready for the awesome treats we ordered. We were a party of 7 and everyone enjoyed the deserts and shakes.”

“Pleasant personalised service, a professional and courteous approach, A true asset to this place, Musa is a delightful artistic looking member of Picassos and is the epitome of class A service. Always on the frontline with a smile and an Attentive ear with the attitude and sincerity to match. Takes pride with orders and always goes that extra mile. Allah humma Barik.”

“Great reception and kindness. There food is delicious and great with good aromas. I always use them whenever I can but on this occasion, I am rating them for letting my kids use their toilet facilities. On my way to London, my kids needed to use toilet but nowhere around; I just popped in, asked the receptionist and she granted us access. Their environment was neat and well decorated; their toilets were clean and neat. They have delicious dishes displayed all over the shelves. Highly recommended.”

“We came in today for an iced latte and were served by Luke—he was so kind, friendly, and welcoming. However, we noticed another staff member who came across as quite bossy and unfriendly toward the team, which could be handled in a more positive way. Huge thanks to Luke—you’re amazing!”

“Best Americano Coffee I enjoyed coupled with THE BEST SERVICE by Ms.Aliya ,the staff of this cafe who even remembered me even though this cafe is crowded always. Ms.Yuri another wonderful Staff was so courteous and alerted me about a Paistry which I chose was not vegetarian. Nice Cafe Nice Staff.”
