The flat whites are pulled with a precision most espresso bars don't bother with. For Moseley, this is the address.

The Moseley coffee house of a roast-to-order Birmingham roastery, with flat whites that live up to the name.

What we love

  • •Pours Java's own roast from their Jewellery Quarter roastery and sells single-origin beans to take home.
  • •Runs a structured barista training school on La Marzocco and Sanremo equipment.
  • •Flat whites are praised for a silky texture and spot-on extraction.
  • •The oat milk cappuccino holds the coffee's flavour instead of masking it.

The wrong island

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

Siena Coffe and More★ Everyday

The cappuccino here is the thing to order. House-blend espresso, properly textured milk, and a barista who knows the difference.

Cafephilia★ Everyday

Moseley's neighbourhood café where staff know your order before you've sat down. The americano is the reason the room fills with regulars.

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.
