Proper Coffee

The Hive Café and BakeryJewellery Quarter, Birmingham

-47 Vittoria St0.2 mi from Jewellery Quarter centrelast reviewed April 2026

A social enterprise in the Jewellery Quarter where the produce comes off the rooftop and everything else is made from scratch. The coffee is solid, which is all it needs to be when the food is this good.

A rooftop farm, a scratch kitchen, and coffee that won't embarrass either.

Quarter Horse Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

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.

ONE1★★ Specialty

Eddie runs ONE1 with a specialty coffee conviction that converts people. Precision brewing, a founder on the floor who'll walk you through what's in the cup, and a calm design-led space in the Jewellery Quarter.

Java Roastery HQ★★ Specialty

The baristas here ask how you drink your coffee before they make a recommendation. That works because they roast on-site and rotate the origins themselves.
