Relaxing café in Birmingham

“Had a fantastic experience when I stopped by today. I saw them on Instagram so popped in to try a couple of coffees and the team were all very friendly. Jonah took me through some of the different beans they had an offer and gave some great recommendations. I enjoyed my latte so much that I even picked up a bag of the beans to take home. Looking forward to coming back.”

“Fantastic little cafe, really friendly staff, when I came in with a weird request they did it and even suggested additional things to make it a 10/10 meal. Cant recommend enough”

“Lovely place to have breakfast. Always clean and friendly. Breakfast really tasty. Sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, hash browns, all really tasty. Looking forward to going there again.”

“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.”

“All the staff are amazing especially Davis, Sonia, Mimi & several others. Everyone is super pleasant, always go over and above to make you feel comfortable. You never have to wait long for your food or drinks. I’m a regular goer and honestly I love this cafe. It’s very family orientated, whether you go with a bunch of friends, family or by yourself you never feel lonely in there. Everyone is super kind. The coffee is super fresh and really tasty, as for the food don’t even get me started. I have tried many such as the jacket potatoes with salad, the porridge with cinnamon, honey and banana, the kale smoothies from time to time and all the food I have tried is fresh and really nice. They always take pride in providing fresh food which is always presented to such a high standard. The staff are a blessing and in a place where the overall area isn’t the best this place is deffo doing erdington justice. They focus a lot on the community and it is really nice to have something like this in the erdington area.”

“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!!”

“Absolutely cracking summer menu just been launched. Would recommend the chili loaded nachos, deceivingly large portion which filled me up properly for lunch.”

“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.”

“Excellent coffee place,good customer service too. Would definitely come back”

“This is a relatively new establishment and every details appears to have been catered for. Very friendly staff and customers, a great menu catering for most tastes. The place was spotless and with great outdoor seating options. It was well worth the trip out and the farm shop next door has a super selection of pet foods, preserves and eggs.”

“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.”
