The coffee is made with precision, and the iced oat latte is the evidence. A neighbourhood café that earns its place on Bournbrook Rd.

The barista is the reason people return, which tells you something about the coffee.

Lys Café★ Everyday

The cappuccino has a genuine local following in Selly Oak. Moroccan mint tea alongside the espresso tells you someone thought about the full drinks menu, not just the machine.

Hey Brew Espresso★ Everyday

The flat white has real extraction character, cocoa notes and all. Worth the stop on Bristol Road, not just because it's there.

Ithaka Coffee★★★ Purist
Digbeth

Dale sources every bean himself at origin and roasts on-site. The most serious cup in Birmingham, and it's on Gibb Street.
