Come for the pastries. Hundred House Coffee behind the bar means the espresso is a genuine choice, not a concession.

The pastries come from their own kitchen. Staff know the coffee well enough to explain it without being asked.

The espresso drinks are made by someone who takes the shot seriously. For Kings Heath, that's the point.

The cappuccino is consistently well-made, which puts it ahead of most brunch-heavy neighbours. Worth settling in with the full menu if you have a morning to give.

The espresso is Brazilian-origin and the staff communicate it. Not the most coffee-forward room in Birmingham, but one where the cup is clearly considered.
