Such a lovely place for brunch at the Jewellery Quarter. We went for brunch and everything was delicious including the drinks. The sourdough is to die for!
Lovely food (those rice boxes! 👌), great service, and good value. A place I highly recommend.
I have been coming to Saint Kitchen for over 3 years and this is my space space. My partner and I come here on a Sunday morning, I bring my friends when they come to stay, and I come on my own whenever I have the time. It sounds cheesy but this place is honestly like a warm hug to me. The staff are lovely, the food is absolutely delicious, and the coffee is the best in Birmingham. It’s right next to Saint Paul’s Square which is one of the prettiest spots in Birmingham.
You can never get bored of the food because they are always changing up the menu. You know it’s fresh as well because you can see the chefs making it in front of you.
I rarely write reviews but am writing this one because this place is just amazing. I love Saint Kitchen so so much ♥️

The best (and biggest) cinnamon swirl I’ve ever had. Great selection of hot and cold breakfasts, lovely service, good vibe and fantastic coffee
Pretty awesome!! Great menu, great staff, great atmosphere. Brilliant parking and the perfect location for an autumnal day! Right opposite is St Paul’s Square is stunning this time of year.
Genuinely brilliant croissant! Thank god this place exists.

Worst Sunday lunch l have had meat mainly fat vegetables tasteless cold instead of pork cold gammon no taste manager not helpful avoid if you like good value and tasty food
Very happy with the service received. Rory was very attentive and kind, it was early afternoon so it wasn’t too busy. The food order process was quick, the food came out very nicer than expected. Overall a very happy experience. Keep up the good work ✌🏾
A hidden gem! Absolutely amazing small coffee shop, with such a calm and quiet atmosphere. Very good selection of drinks and their crepes are the best! All staff are very welcoming and lovely.
A really nice place to come whatever the time. Had an amazing banana and Nutella Crepe and the Peach Iced Tea was amazing. They also had outdoor seating which was amazing.
A good little mom and pops spot to stop off for a hot or cold beverage and watch the world go by. Very impressed by the variety of drink options on the menu and the price is very fair. Lovely team of staff - I felt very welcomed.
Really enjoyed the wedding we went to staff were lovely Really helpful and thank you
Waited 30 minutes for a salt beef bagel, which would have been fine if it didn’t come with barely any beef in.
I flagged it with a waiter and showed him half the bagel was empty. Rather than rectifying it, all I got was “we portion it out like that” and “we can make another one, but it’ll be the same”.
This bagel is £12 … any other bagel place stacks it up, plus is cheaper. WAY overpriced.

Amazing little cafe in Selly oak. Great atmosphere, delicious food. Ample portions. I had the Halal breakfast, can't move now!
Excellent little cafe, great food and very friendly staff.
Although there was little choice for veggies he was happy to offer different suggestions and clean an area on his grill just for me. Very friendly and helpful.
One of the best I've stopped at, great food for me and my dog Mick, good value for money.
The best breakfast I've had in ages!
came in for all day breakfast, table of two. really lovely staff & food was amazing! will definitely be coming back :)
We visited to try the festive afternoon tea and had a great time. The food was good, and the service was exceptional! The staff were really attentive and helpful. We will definitely be heading back; we’ve heard good things about the pizza so keen to try that next.
We had an excellent Xmas party here
First time coming here for me and my friend. It was really nice, from the Christmas decor and music to the polite staff and lovely food. Would happily revisit when I'm on this side of the city.
Lovely donuts 😋 friendly staff.
Toilet if needed.

10/10 my bacon and egg on tost was amazing thank you 😊
This is an all round five star place. The food is creative and fresh, and great for vegans. The service is warm and attentive, it smells delicious with the open kitchen. The coffee is top notch and it's really hard to resist the cakes. Peanut butter brownie anyone?! Today I had the pulled mushroom bagel, insanely good.
Great food and service in a quiet environment. The fish and chips portion is very generous and it comes with different dips. Overall, it's slightly more expensive than other places around, but the quieter atmosphere and the large portions made up for it.
Great time at this coffee place. They offer a large range or sweet/ salted crepes and drinks with some specials. The lemon crepe was alright, preferred the jam and cream one which had more filling. The Mexican hot chocolate was definitely strong 🔥. Overall the staff is really sweet and it’s a cosy place. I would recommend the place
One of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time. The mini cheese omelette is a genius addition. The ingredients were top quality. Very impressive.
Been here for sisters function, Aumkar and the girl with behind the bar were sound. Drinks bit expensive but sound staff, really fun do. Once again thanks to Aumkar fabulous service and cocktails made me a special bramble sound lad and the girl with didnt get her name was a lovely add on. Coming back next week for daughter’s birthday. Best
In Birmingham for a few days and this seemed like a decent breakfast stop. I was very impressed. The service was quick and good, the staff friendly and helpful and the food delicious. My only negative is the high price for a couple of extras my partner had with her meal, but even then, I can't complain. I would recommend to friends and will probably pop by next time in the city.
Food was good, but had a surly waitress, who spoke too quietly to be heard and moved not much faster than a turtle. The atmosphere was very canteen, lots of people talking loudly and enjoying themselves, but very echoey, which made conversations hard unless you also spoke up adding to the noise. Not really a romantic stop in the downstairs area we we're seated in. Drinks, for the price were very average, we didn't but more and went to the alchemist across the green for cheaper better cocktails. Happy birthday profiterole was a nice touch. Good food, just not what you really expect from the Ivy name.
Excellent food in particular the lobster linguine, service and ambience fantastic as ever. Only issue was the bill of £85 which included a service charge of just under £10 and which was paid with £100 cash i.e 5 x £20 notes. It was a little bit offensive to then be asked by the waitress if we "required the change?" Really?
We came here to have 2 omelette rolls and a cappuccino as well as a chai latte. They were both really nice and tasty and it started off our day brilliantly. The omelette rolls tasted fantastic, with great flavour. The coffee was reasonably priced, compared to places like Costa and Starbucks, for example, and tasted better!
The staff were very chatty and friendly as well. We really enjoyed talking to them and they made the food very quickly within 10 minutes too. It was a bit noisy when we came in but I guess it's a normal thing with all restaurants in the morning, but it was still a fantastic experience and a great place to have your breakfast.

We were visiting Birmingham for one night a few weeks ago and Googled to find a place for breakfast, read the reviews, and just WOW this place is one of the best places we’ve ever been for breakfast! Food and service was exceptional! We wish we could give more than 5 stars! Defo recommend to all and if we visit again, we’ll be back! Thank you!
Packed for breakfast! And lovely service, really good breakfast, great cuppa, just what we needed. Highly recommended, right next door to the station so easy for travellers and tourists alike.
Came here for my birthday meal however was not impressed in relation to how some of the food is cooked, especially as a few family members have food allergies, if I had been told this information prior then probably wouldn't have dined here to cater to family members with food allergies but the staff were really accommodating to ALL of my family members and the atmosphere was amazing.
The food was really nice and so were the decorations.
Overall, I would come here again.

Absolutely wonderful. Service was beyond amazing, food was delicious and drinks were as tasty as they were aesthetically pleasing. Went for my graduation, we were offered a complimentary dessert to celebrate to occasion. Will most certainly be returning, thank you for the amazing service!
Good breakfast. Bubble & squeak. Decent coffee. Friendly service. Great building.
What's the deal with the Country Life girls in the Gents'? Dodgy.

Lovely place inside but the portion size of the food is ???? We ordered bang bang cauliflower and 3 tiny pieces came in a small bowl???? Kind of amazed at that. Also odd combination of things. The spicy cauliflower is served with a side of pickled slaw. Very sharp. Whole thing was weird.
Service was a little slow in the restaurant. Food and drink on the pricier side but it was good quality and tasted great. We would consider visiting again.
Incredible service - the staff were super helpful and our waiter was extremely attentive and fixed the multiple issues we had with the food swiftly.
The food was pretty lackluster- missing items on 2/4 meals, human hair cooked into the tomato on my plate and zero seasoning on anything. It all looked amazing, but tasted basic. Poached eggs were also overcooked.

Stopped recently for a sandwich
Nothing wrong with the sandwich or the Chap who served me
Prices little bit on the steep side £4 for a sausage and egg sandwich

Visited pre show at the hippodrome for food and cocktails. Couldn't fault anything. Staff were very attentive. Food and cocktails were really good. Would recommend a visit
The table service was professional and fast and the food was hot and full of flavour. Overall, I would say the price is high but it is worth every penny for the quality food and experience overall. Additionally, there is now a daily specials menu that significantly reduces the price, making it much more affordable (£13.95 for one main).
TAG Network Midlands Limited.. aka Denise Morris... was celebrating the 9th Birthday... what an amazing achievement... and therefore had to choose an amazing location... and the Garden Inn Birmingham did live up to it's great reputation... Brilliant...
Spent a great couple of hours here with my Dad for his belated birthday lunch. The place is fabulous inside, beautifully decorated and the food was excellent. I had the shepherds pie and Dad had the chicken. I had a dessert and they bought my Dad out a birthday dessert with a candle in. Also had a cocktail and finished with a coffee. The young lady that waited our table was great, friendly and courteous. Would definitely recommend
Staff excellent, great service, food; amazing! Room is a bit chilly, in fact whole place is on the chilly side but I expect it's because it's quiet. Cleaning ok. Only here for a couple of nights but would stay again. Theo in the bar; top service. Theo is helpful and polite and top marks to the chef who accomodated my food preferences.
I had been meaning to come here since it opened. Meeting a friend for brunch was the perfect excuse!
I was really looking forward to breakfast and it didn't disappoint.
I'm not vegetarian, but I do love fresh, healthy foods. The Advocado Benedict eggs were perfectly cooked, my friend enjoyed her eggs Benedict. The cocktails were amazing.
There's a lively atmosphere in the downstairs bar and restaurant area, but i preferred the more formal and cozy upstairs dining room.
The whole decor, service and food all make this a special place for any occasion or time of the day.
Highly recommended.
I parked at the Mailbox and just walked down, which was nice walking back afterwards with a full tummy!

Absolutely lovely find ...... you could tell many of the customers coming in we had breakfast ...we're regulars as the lady serving.... acknowledged them as friends....the decor is lovely and so was our food... I think this is one of the best places I have had breakfast in the centre of town... staff lovely and friendly 😊 ❤️
Popped in here before going to the dentist, lovely decor, friendly smiling people and courteous service. I didn't eat because I had a dentist appointment, but I wanted too, as other customers meals looked absolutely delicious. Especially the breakfasts!
It's a lovely quiet place to chill. The coffee was hot and rich, I'd definitely like to go back.

Had business meeting and decided to come to cosy club. The decor was lovely and staff was welcoming. Service was very quick n efficient. Food was very light, healthy and packed full of flavour. Very impressed. Fish was cooked beautifully. Would love to come back again.
We had a private room booked with a bar and dedicated staff for a function. It was a great night, the aesthetics of the Cosy Club are lovely, it really is a lovely space and cosy.
The private room we had again was great and totally separate from the rest of the establishment in that there was a curtain over the entrance to make it private.
The bar area was large and well stocked, they do some great cocktails, the food was reasonably slow to come but was delicious when it arrived. They also gave us a free starter sample selection!
I had the beef burger which was very good indeed, well cooked, tasty and the crispy bacon just finished it off.
Based on this experience I would certainly recommend the place - the staff were also great!

Called ahead to check GF food and super helpful. Had GF pancakes but they also have GF bread so you get a full breakfast here too! Exemplary coffee and lovely atmosphere. If you are a new student to the area or just a local Celiac GF options are hard to come by so certainly give it a look 😊
We decided to dine in here to celebrate our anniversary and was the best choice ever.
The service was just perfect and professional even if it was a busy hour. The food was perfectly cooked , salmon and steak was just wowwww and we most especially loved the zucchini as it was crunchy and delicious. In the end the manager give us a complimentary dessert. Very much appreciate that you granted our request and we had a lovely and happy celebration of our four years together in this restaurant.
Thank you so much see you soon 😊 😊😊

Afternoon tea was OK, scones where served raw and took a long time to be served! Other than that was quite average! Restaurant it self is nice
One of my favourite coffee spots in Birmingham. Never disappointed. Very fairly priced and everything tastes yummy.
Coffee, cold drinks, pastries, and the best crepes I've tried in Birmingham for such a reasonable price! Sweet and savory crepes available. I love the apple and cinnamon and the tomato and mozzarella pesto.
Indoor and outdoor seating.

Requested reservations at Aria and didn't even get confirmation on whether the reservation was accepted or rejected! Emails tells you the reservation team will be in touch. Even called through to the hotel and they passed a message on and still nothing. I saw reviews about the service not being great, glad I didn't go here now if they can't even be bothered to reach out to customers.
Excellent value for money, shared a twin room. Very clean although carpet could do with a stain remover on it.
Excellent breakfast, good choice, friendly and polite staff.
Close to city centre and the arena for a concert we attended.

Very tasty food, good quality. The bacon was perfectly cooked. More expensive than a greasy spoon but it's a different offering. Plenty of places to charge your devices with bench seating if you've got some work to do. Service is friendly and quick.
The bar manager is a master of cocktails and puts enormous effort into crafting classics and his own riffs.
Fantastic breakfast - cheaper than our hotel and much much better! Great staff as well. (Picture shows food after I gave tomato and mushrooms from full breakfast to wife.)
Always love this hotel to meet up with our Birmingham friends, always clean and friendly, great food too, yummy
First time eating here, and was really surprised how nice the Sunday lunch was going to be like.. service was good the staff are friendly and helpful, totally will go back..
Nice fish and chips with lovely crispy batter, portion was a bit on the small size though.
Stopped by and sat in for a hot drink and light crepe. Very tasty. Outdoor seating is available perfect for sunny days like today. I’ve been here before for a takeaway. Really enjoyed my little drink and snack. Friendly staff and they know their regular customers names and what they like. Very sweet.
I’ll try the spiced Mexican hot chocolate next time. The one in the photo is coconut syrup latte. Delicious.

Great selection of sweet and savoury crêpes! The crêpes are really thin and delicious! The coffee is strong and the prices are low! There is outdoor seating if you like! The go to place to energise your morning!
A few friends and I visited Birmingham for the weekend and desperately needed breakfast. Grand Central Kitchen was simply amazing. We couldn't locate the cafe at first, so I called up for directions, and the owner (I believe his name is Cena) kindly met us outside and took us to our seats. This was very impressive as we'd never experienced this type of care at any cafe/restaurant, especially from the owner! We immediately felt taken care of. His polite staff took our order, and the delicious breakfast arrived in no time. The food, service and atmosphere were so satisfying we went back for breakfast the following morning before travelling back to London. Cena didn't fail to impress us again and kindly stored our suitcases in a safe place while we enjoyed another delicious breakfast. Grand Central Kitchen is now our go-to cafe whenever we decide to visit Birmingham (hopefully soon!), and we'll be sure to recommend the cafe to everyone. Keep up the fantastic service and customer experience :)
Great service, Hussain provided us with great service. Went for afternoon to celebrate a birthday, and they added a personal touch by putting up a happy birthday banner and a complimentary happy birthday confectionery.
Amazing service, cozy atmosphere and really good food!!! Service was super fast and wonderful. I had a perfect English breakfast and my earl grey with milk was made perfectly as well. Honestly amazing to eat here, I will definitely be back.
The festive afternoon tea was discusting tbh
The staff were lovely and the venue was relaxing and beautiful

Saint Kitchen in Birmingham is a standout spot for coffee lovers and brunch enthusiasts alike. Their specialty coffee is among the most delicious in the city, delivering rich and nuanced flavors that truly impress. The brunch menu is equally exceptional, featuring a range of delectable options that are both satisfying and well-prepared. What really sets Saint Kitchen apart, though, is the staff. They are incredibly kind and warmhearted, ensuring you always feel welcomed and appreciated. The overall experience is one of comfort and delight, making Saint Kitchen a must-visit destination for a top-notch coffee and brunch experience.
We came here for afternoon tea, to celebrate a special occasion. I had pre-booked to ensure the restaurant knew our diatory requirements. The staff were professional, welcoming and excellent with attention to detail. A stunning deep red, fresh floral centrepiece adorned the table, which was a truly thoughtful gesture. They also created a beautiful pink 'congratulations' platter with petite cakes. We had different types of teas including gluten free, pescetarian and meat. The ingredients were fresh, tasty and well presented. Three of us had champagne. The cost was £120 and worth every penny. l would certainly recommend the Aria to others. The ambience was also calming and very attractive.
Amazing ambience at the Aria restaurant which opens out into the lobby of the Hyatt Regency under a glass atrium. We went for afternoon tea which was OK and did not make the mark. We felt the sandwiches were a bit underfilled and dry at the edges. 3 varieties if scones...plain fruit and chocolate chip were not light and fluffy. The pastries were good, however the lemon posset was served in a narrow small glass container without a teaspoon small enough to get into the glass or without any teaspoon! We had to use the knife to get it out onto a plate so we could eat it. Service was courteous but could do with being more present in the restaurant and attentive to customers, ( fir eg ask if everything was OK). Lack of attention to detail in the food preparation, serving and service let this five star restaurant down.
Food was very good, service was a little slow as was only customer at the the time I was there, but the wait was worth it
As always..Dave is there to feed passing motorists , much cheaper and tastier, than Hopwood service's, and a friendly smile to boot 👢, well done Dave,sorry for for the bank card hiccup this afternoon. Stay safe, see you again soon, as usual wonderful food ..thanks again Dave .. Mike
Not my first visit here but I wasn't as impressed as I had been on previous occasions.
The burger and cheese were OK, the bacon was a little fatty making it slightly difficult to eat as it all wanted to come out of the sandwich in the first bite. Also it was a sandwich and not a roll as the vendor had run out and I didn't want to make him go into his van during a hail storm lol.
The biggest let down though was the very limited choice of sauces, red or brown...

This is NOT the "Best Coffee in Birmingham". It could be, with the right barista working the espresso machine. This quality could easily be improved with a little staff training.
What Coffee Time does offer is nice service and comfy seating.

The Hyatt is probably Birmingham’s best hotel in the city. I was incorrectly informed that Bill Clinton stayed there during his visit back in 1998.
Anyway, The Hyatt has an impressive looking lobby. The ceiling is high, the lighting is set to romantic and the water feature is set to zen waterfall mode.
The Aria restaurant doesn’t feel like a separate restaurant, but part of the hotel eating area. It is well groomed and manned by quality, professional staff. The food is beautifully presented, good examples of classics, but the menu lacks anything with punchy, memorable, edgy flavours.
If you go for the 2 or 3 courses (please order before 18:30), you do get great value for money. Given the competition for high end food in Birmingham, Aria falls short on all areas other than service.

We had lunch at Aria Restaurant many times during our stay at the Hyatt.
The Hotel Lobby is stunning, atmosphere feels tranquil ,romantic decor with trees and plants, shelves with beautiful vases and a central water feature and a huge glass ceiling .
The food is good and always well presented.
The service is excellent, friendly and attentive staff.
Perfect location for an afternoon tea

Lovely atmosphere and welcoming staff. I did like the afternoon tea overall but somewhat disappointed in the selection offered, enjoyed the scone and little chocolate cake. But more small sandwiches could have been provided, slightly suprised at the fact so few we're given (3 slim cuts each). But as I said nice scones and little petite chocolate cake. Cream cake was ok to, we both left the cinnomon cakes just due to personal tastes.
I would come back here but to try something from the lunch menu, not for the afternoon tea. 4 stars for the atmosphere, lovely coffee and welcoming staff.

A nicely designed posh interior to this modern continental restaurant part of the Holiday Inn hotel. A good breadth of options, we went for the afternoon tea. It was a basic afternoon tea then those you typically expect from a hotel but was wonderfully presented. The scone was warm. There were only 3 finger sandwiches and we weren't offered refills. The egg mayonnaise was delicious though! The cakes were ones that are from a posh factory bought set, but were nice enough. Mini Carrot and walnut, victoria sponge and a chocolate eclair.
