    We love Paul’s! Go there very regularly. Always delicious food and great friendly service from Paul and the gang. Their coffee is delicious and we love getting a bag to also have it at home! Came here for my bday brunch a few weeks ago and Paul and the team went above and beyond to make it a special event for me - didn’t expect it at all but it was such a great time. Thanks guys!!

    Amazing little place in Harborne, great service with friendly teams who are attentive. The breakfast was one of the best we've had and we will definitely be returning. They found out it was my husband's birthday too and were so friendly.

    Went for the wife’s birthday breakfast with the kids. Straight away the friendliness of the staff is noticeable and soon after you can see the passion they have for making sure the food that is served is not arbitrary is evident. Mine was all cooked to perfection and the scrambled eggs I’ve heard about in other reviews stood out. The kids had the pancakes which my eldest scored 7.85 / 10 which is a win btw. The coffees were also very nice. I’m not 100% sold on the ambiance but this is not nearly enough not to recommend Paul’s. Oh before I forget the wife said her vegan sausage was the best she’s had. She is not vegan though so not sure how many she has had 😂

    I was impressed with the quality of the food served here, everything was tasty and fresh. Definitely a new place to explore and try their menu. Delicious Eggs Royale and really good Mocha. I recommend booking in advance as it’s a small restaurant and usually really busy.

    Always feeling welcomed when I get here 🥰 It's a local coffee shop with a tasty menu and fresh ingredients. I started to come here almost every day before my yoga class 🫶🏻

    Great experience with delicious pancakes and coffee I had a great experience at this restaurant. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, and the coffee was strong and flavorful. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot.

    I don't think I've ever had a disappointing trip or meal at Paul's, the food is always amazing' and the service and welcome is fantastic. Every time I try something new on the menu, the only thing I'm disappointed with is that I hadn't had it sooner.

    I came here with my Mum for lunch & it was absolutely delicious. We had the Chicken Salad which was amazing & so fresh & tasty. We also had the steak sandwich which was cooked perfectly. High quality ingredients, fabulous flavour in every mouthful & generous portions. The service was also great & we will be back as the all day breakfasts looked great aswell! Highly recommend.

    My friend and I had a lovely lunch here yesterday. Paul's has a great, cosy, fresh ambience. The service is excellent, efficient and courteous and I feel you can get on and chat to each other without interruptions. We so enjoyed some lavender earl grey tea, apple cake, pancakes. It looked and tasted wonderful! Cannot fault this beautiful place. Well done Paul and staff. It's really special.

    This place really deserves it's 5 star rating! The service is polite, friendly, top class. Food was great, portion sizes were quite big. One thing to mention is the macciato is a shot size as explained by Paul, different to what your regular Starbucks offers 🤣

    Highly recommend! Amazing food, great drinks, and a lovely bright atmosphere. The service is brilliant and Paul & his wife are very hospitable and passionate about what they do. It definitely makes you realise how nice it is to support a local business. I will definitely go back very soon (and will be buying some coffee beans - best coffee ever!)

    Great vegan breakfast! The sausages are some of the best vegan sausages I've had, and the tofu is really food, firm but still juicy and kept lightly seasoned so they go well with the whole meal. Really nice beans and potato roti... all for £9.50. Great service and easy to swap items if you prefer.

    Fantastic food and drinks. High quality breakfast at a reasonable price and everything was very tasty! I ordered a mocha and really enjoyed the chocolate sprinkles on top! The cafe is also well decorated inside. Thank you and we will visit again!

    Excellent little café! Located towards the end of the high street in Harborne, it is well worth seeking out. With relatively humble decor, it's the food and the people that make this place. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and very supportive as I hobbled around with my walking aid. Service was pretty quick, especially considering it was Saturday lunchtime and there was no shortage of customers. The compact menu shows how much they care about their food, choosing to do fewer things really well, using very local ingredients and suppliers, with options for gluten-free, veggies and vegans. Prices are on the higher end of reasonable, but the portions are generous and everything tasted great. I didn't have enough room left for any cake, so I will definitely try those next time. Loved it and can't wait to return!

    I went here for a late lunch with my bestie. The experience was phenomenal from the service to the food. Paul was extremely courteous and friendly. The wait was a little long but it was definitely worth it considering it was prepared fresh. I ordered the tofu scrambled toast and it was delicious! The ambience and mood of this cafe was utterly welcoming and warm. Thank you Paul for an amazing experience and now I have a new favourite cafe!

    I visited this place last friday for brunch.I had eggs benedict with the potato rosti. Absolutley delicious .The service is great ,friendly and personal.Love the range of cakes and will definitely try next time. Small and cosy atmosphere so the noise travels but that can't be helped .I would return for sure as the food was so good.
