Excellent food and service, we keep coming back. The sweetcorn fritters are delicious and everything is very flavourful and fresh. Those complaining about it not being kid friendly not sure what’s happened there. Maybe just leave your kids at home instead of taking them out to a place where mainly adults are dining.

Aesthetically pleasing! 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸 Honest and fair review below. Some good work here and a nice concept that we have not found elsewhere in the local vicinity. ✅️ Great effort with the presentation of all the dishes - a really nice concept (a bit sad I didn't get any violas with our dishes ☹️) ✅️ Clean premises including glass screens / dividers. Staff clear tables promptly after customers, which is nice to see. ✅️ Clean cutlery and crockery ✅️ Promptly greeted, seated and we had our parking validated upon arrival ✅️ Lovely decor and their crockery is pretty - matches the decor well. Love the plates with the lipped edges (perfect for beans in your brekkie!) ✅️ Nice choice of items on the menu - plenty too choose from with extras available too ✅️ Decent portion size for each dish ✅️ Staff are attentive but not overbearing ✅️ Staff thoroughly check for dietary requirements and allergies before taking your order- we were asked twice for confirmation ✅️ Relaxed atmosphere ✅️ Sufficient seating available ✅️ Parking available but get here early! ❌️ The toast needed to be cooked longer in both of our dishes the toast was too soft and so it was soggy (that is the toast in the inés breakfast and the sourdough toast in the 🥑 dish) ❌️ The poached eggs 🥚 were over cooked unfortunately so no soft yolk but still edible ❌️ Potatoes in the Inés breakfast had been sat for too long before service / were a little stale. They were edible but did not taste fresh. ❌️ Glass screens - a nice idea but can you frost the bottom half for a bit more privacy between tables? The tables are really close together - you can hear conversations next to you too. I suspect seating in the next room were not being used until the afternoon covers ❌️ No sugar or spoons were provided with our hot drinks - are these self service or should they be provided with the drinks? A few tweaks required but we were impressed. 🙂

Nice atmosphere with friendly and efficient service. Great selection including vegan, kids & vegetarian options. We had Desi breakfast and club sandwiches. Food was delicious and fresh. Everything on the menu is fantastic value. They have free parking lot behind the cafe. Don't forget to register at counter.

Second time visiting for brunch here and there was a 20 min wait which didn’t seem too bad. Food did take a little time to come out but it was fine. We ordered the desi breakfast which was 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽. The spice in the chana was perfect and beans. Everything tasted lovely. The paratha however wasn’t home made :(. But it did still taste really nice with everything. We got the French toast again and it just tasted so light and fluffy. Was perfect! second time trying and have to say it’s the best French toast I’ve had in brum!! Deffo recommend to visit. Family friendly, high chairs available and space for prams to get through :).
