Noir 55 and Cake & Culture are doing quiet, careful work here. Not a destination for serious roaster-hunting, but both are worth your time if you're nearby.
Good if you're nearby
A calm, characterful Edgbaston independent where the flat whites are genuinely well-made and the menu has a bit of personality to it. Good free parking makes it an easy call.
An Edgbaston patisserie that takes its craft seriously on every front, from handmade chocolates to French-inspired pastries. The pistachio croissants alone justify the detour.
