A characterful Bournville independent where the weekend brunch packs the room. The coffee holds its own, which here is the point.

Bournville's weekend brunch anchor, where a considered bean choice makes the flat white matter.

What we love

  • House beans: a deliberate selection, not a generic supplier
  • Flat white pulls well; the beans show in the cup

Sol Bistro★ Everyday

The brunch is what the Cotteridge crowd comes for. Order the cappuccino; it earns its place.

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.

Quarter Horse Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist
Jewellery Quarter

Quarter Horse roasts its own beans in the Jewellery Quarter, sourcing directly from named producers in Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. The filter rotates weekly and the courses with Alex are worth booking.
