Not Vegan

Visited as it stated veggie/vegan on the description. Arrived to find there were no vegan options of either mains or desserts. The staff were lovely and said they could adapt some of the options but not very appealing. Would avoid if vegan. I decided not to eat here so can’t comment on the quality of the food.

Great cafe

Several vegan options, I ordered the vegan mix which was various salads, humous and a generous chunk of bread. All very well done. Note, everything is organic, this is a training cafe attached to a college, and they have a microfarm on the roof! Good service too

not many vegan options

The staff was lovely and very helpful, but when I visited there were no vegan cake/dessert options. I was told they are in the making but at the moment there were no options for me.

The coffee was great and the place has a really friendly vibe.

Nice

Two vegan options when I went.
Not masses of food, but really well presented. With the bakery element, I would have hoped for some fresh bread, rather than breadsticks and dry flatbeds that were presented, which would have helped bulk the quantity a little for those with a bigger appetite.

(This might normally be the case: there was a sign in the counter saying no fresh bread as the baker hadn’t turned up today!)

Pros: Nicely presented, Lots of ingredients, Cool venue

Cons: Only a couple of vegan options, Could have some fresh bread from bakery, Breakfast opts didn’t look particularly inspiring

Lovely cafe in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter

There was a good variety of food with several vegan options and dishes that could be made vegan.
Everything was tasty and fresh.
Service was good.
There is a gallery space with interesting exhibitions too

Pros: Good wholesome food with lots of variety, Historic building and plenty of space , Easy to get to on public transport
