ONE1
Coffee shop
👍👍 A big thank you to the Espresso Quarter barista for this recommendation. He confidently said, “if you like coffee, ONE1 is the best in Birmingham.” If you would have said that 10 years ago, it would be easy to believe. Given the where the coffee scene in Birmingham is now, there are too many good In...

The Big Bear Café
Cafe
👍👍 Excellent little spot. Popped in on a rare day off for a late breakfast mid morning. Delicious, generous breakfasts at reasonable prices. Spotlessly clean, plenty of seating and 5* service. The Big Bear breakfast is great, 2 of everything, all freshly cooked to order piping hot and not too greasy....

👍👍 Been here twice now with my wife and 3 year old. Very quirky place and family friendly. Makes it even better it's family ran. The 2 lads who run it are both very welcoming and know how a coffee shop should be run.

They also have a hidden garden behind for you to sit down and enjoy your meal. They close at 2.30pm, a lot of items become unavailable...

Chris's Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 Exquisite scran, impeccable atmosphere, the tunes were banging and the beans were slanging. Toast did the job just fine as well. No other location on God’s green has satisfied me half as well as Chris’ cafe, although I prefer to call it home.

Max's Coffee Shop
Coffee shop
😠 If you’re serious about your coffee, then avoid. I got a soya flat white from Max’s a couple of weeks ago. First red flag: they used Aldi soya milk as opposed to Alpro or speciality barista soya. Upon leaving the coffee shop I noticed the texture of my coffee was a little strange, slightly bitty. I...

😐 Very poor selection of cakes, no allergen info and nothing for vegans. You can choose cow, soy or oat milk, no coconut. There is no room to change a baby's diaper. Very nice staff
