The flat whites are pulled with the kind of extraction discipline most espresso bars don't bother with. For Moseley, this is the address.

An actual working roastery in Moseley, with a training school attached.

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.
