Caffe Concerto in Birmingham

Often pop here when got off the train. Cakes, snacks, hot drinks and alcohol served. It's location makes it a busy place but I do feel the prices a little high. £4.75 for a scone.....really?

Over priced and over rated Tables not cleared Only plus point that it is centrally located but there are so many other coffee shops nearby

Situated at the top of grand central, this place has prime position for passing trade-the cakes in display do enough to draw you in! However, we had a Classic afternoon tea + Prosecco which was booked on my behalf. The booker forgot to mention my allergies upon booking and the staff were not able to amend the booking when we arrived, so some went to waste, which was a shame, so worth remembering that they are not flexible. To make matters worse they did not question my allergy which could’ve been fatal. Anyway, it was freezing there. We had to sit in our coats which spoilt the ambience somewhat. Thought the unlimited tea may warm us up? Wrong, they only refill the water. No change in tea bag so anything after the first cup tasted like, well, water. It was also made VERY clear only tea was included “ANYTHING ELSE YOU WILL PAY” Basic afternoon tea. Sandwichs were fresh but lacked substance. No meat or cheese at all (we are not veggies) no sausage rolls/crisps/garnish, nothing. The cakes were the saving grace. No criticism there, shame there wasn’t 2 little mousses seeing as it was bought for x 2 people. No one checked in either, 3 x staff on and not busy. So, all in all a disappointing experience. 0/10 for customer service, freezing, lack of ambience, lack of meat. This place is just riding the coat tails of its previous success, I fear (as this is the 2nd poor experience in 6mths for me at a cafe concerta) they can’t go in disappointing, not for the price you pay because greggs prices it is not!!

They have the best cakes in Birmingham.

Fabulous food and wonderful service. Our afternoon tea was delicious and a lovely treat. Thank you

Best flavours so far in Uk. Their saffron milk cake easily beats all other top notch milk cake competitors 👍

Caffe concerto Birmingham is the place to be for all sweet tooth folks. The aesthetics of the stall is beautiful the desserts taste as good as they look. Absolutely divine. A little pricey but that's because I did a big order. I do not regret a single penny.

Giuseppe is always a friendly face to greet at caffe concerto- great food, great service 👍🏼

Beatrice was so pleasant she made the experience so memorable thank you xx

Cake is awful, staff are bad people for selling it to me. Staff should have warned of the quality of their awful cakes. Decorative cakes should have been a warning. Tap water is excellent.

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food 👏🏾

Acabamos de tomar pasteles y café. El café era bueno y los pasteles estaban bien. No hay servicio de mesa y las placas no se limpiaron rápidamente. A pesar de esto, el precio era bastante alto.

Nice friendly staff and amazing cakes and food!…

Coffee Concerto in Birmingham is a good café that offers a satisfactory atmosphere for coffee lovers. We enjoyed their coffee and hot chocolate, both of which were rich and flavorful, making for a perfect treat during our visit. It’s self service. Although we didn’t try any desserts this time, the menu looked tempting. It’s worth noting that on the day we visited, only credit card payments were accepted, so be prepared for that if you plan to stop by. Overall, even tough it’s not a charming spot, I would recommend for a relaxing coffee break!

What a nice place to have a nice cuppa tea and cheese cake before a long train ride home.I would recommend the lemon cheese cake xx thank you so much Ayaz and Raberto for making me and my sister feel welcomed.

Situado en el centro comercial con vistas a la estación de New Street, este es un sándwich de lujo y una cafetería de pasteles. El servicio era excelente y educado, agradables opciones de asientos y pasteles inspiradores, pero a un precio. Dos pasteles, chocolate caliente y un café llegaron a más de £ 25! Cada pastel era más de £ 8 y para mí era demasiado caro para el paquete general.

We tried the ice cream and it was amazing (the pistachio one was incredibile). We will be back very soon. Staff Was lovely too

Great selection of baguettes and Nicea and kind staff!

Got some macarons from here for a celebration and they tasted vile. The macarons were dry and crumbly and clearly overbaked. Will not be returning.

Beatrice looked us very well. We really enjoyed the Traditional Tea experience.

Beatrice was a very nice and pleasant hostess. She helped save our afternoon tea (which was unexpectedly pre prepared) to a vegetarian one. Beatrice's customer service was great. Bread was hard due to it being prepared beforehand. Cakes were very nice.

Hi, I went to buy cake from Birmingham grand Central branch. Manager was putting the passteries on display. I requested manager to give me a cake please he said you have to wait 20 minutes which I agreed. Meanwhile I was waiting he told me that we are waiting for cakes delivery therefore buy passteries which I said ok give me 4 passteries normally they are on offer. He replied not today I have to put this deal on the till. Later he told me go to Lola's in Selfridges and buy from them. I said thank you for introducing me to your competitors. I bought a cake and passteries with a lovely smile which I was missing at you place. I would request all the customers to definetly visit Lola's where I promise you will get a lovely smile with a cake.

This was a great place to sit and observe life go by while enjoy quality coffee. My server Beatrice was absohelpful, kind and gave me a hundred % brilliant service.

The eclair and macron’s were delicious would definitely get again. Had Valeria as our server she was very kind and very helpful

Had their pistachio honey cake, passion fruit lemonade, peach ice tea. All were fab. Bit pricey in my opinion (and I’m comparing it to Swedish prices, imagine that!).

Lovely place , great service from Araz - very efficient and friendly service.

The best place for really nice cakes, excellent service from Beatrice who was able to tell us which ones are suitable for halal diet.

I come here almost everyday, lovely staff and food, and thank you to Araz, Beatrice and Margarita who always make my day :)

Giuseppe was very patient as it took me ages to make a decision on what to drink and kept changing my mind! 😅

Service was great. Staff were very friendly, especially Araz.

Great food and service The waitress Beatrice is a lovely young lady 😀

Its the best Ice cream place in Birmingham and the staff are very friendly.

I highly recommend caffee concerto birmingham. Service by the lovely Beatrice was excellent ! friendly polite snd conscientious. Delicious food great atmosphete overlooking grand central station and Ozzy the Bull as companion

Thankyou for Beatrice for looking after me and make my Birthday treat special.

Beatrice was really lovely professional and approachable with a beautiful smile.

I paid a visit to cafe Concerto yesterday and I must say that although the prices of the food will make you do a double take, there is no denying that the cakes served are absolute perfection, a delicacy if you will. I ordered a strawberry gateaux, a single espresso and a slice of vegan pistachio cake for my party. The strawberry gateaux was second-to-none. The light notes of the cream paired with the airy yet thin sponge was complemented by the slight tang of the strawberries and mellow texture of strawberry jelly. It was a match made in cake heaven. I would say that the cake was quite sweet but the espresso did an excellent job cutting through that sweetness to make a perfect afternoon dessert. Having tried cafe Concerto’s ice cream as well as their blueberry tart, I must say that there is a treat for everyone at this establishment, not to mention the elegant and ambient atmosphere which only makes the customers eager for more. I will be returning to Birmingham and you can bet Cafe Concerto is on my list. - P.R

Overall great meal and service came back two times in one day

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Concerto, and I must say that Araz made our experience truly exceptional.

Brilliant service by Araz. Our drinks came swiftly and tasted great . Great spot to grab a coffee between shopping or waiting for the train. Also their cakes are delicious

We are regulars at Concerto and always served by Giuseppe who is always smiling, friendly, and really looks after the customer. Would highly recommend going here.

Guiseppe is always fantastic. Super friendly, fast service, and the coffee and cakes are second to non. Even when it’s busy, he is still personable l. Catch you soon! Mike

Today's service from Beatrice made me feel special. Definitely coming back for nice coffe and sandwich.

Had afternoon tea here with my family to celebrate my nieces GCSEs. Service was excellent! I had a tea which wasn't what I expected and they changed it free of charge. In terms of value for money, the afternoon tea is generous and tasted fabulous. Our servers made us feel special too. Highly recommend!!!

Came here to get a full cake for a special ocassion. Price is comparatively high but the quality is also high. Nom nom nom. *** Can’t fault the cakes. They’re moist and fluffy. We ordered the Honey Cake, Carrot Cake, Ferrero Cake and a Pistachio Cake. Certainly a nice treat. Highly recommend the Honey Cake and the chocolatey Ferrero Cake in particular. I personally found the Carrot Cake to be a bit too too sweet.

Very nice food, lovely filled pesto sandwich and a delicate lemon cheesecake. The service from Beatrice was excellent and the staff uniforms were particularly smart. I will definitely be coming again

This experience was really fun and really comforting and I was Being served by this beautiful woman called Beatrice. She is fun and lovely people that work there are nice and caring. And very tasty looking cakes.

Great service from Beatrice. The drinks were delicious we had iced blue Matcha and Iced latte.

The atmosphere is really lovely and comfortable. The food was really good and Elisa attended to us with an amazing service!

Elisa was lovely💖. Very attentive, has made us welcome and attentive to our needs. Defo coming back and highly recommended xx

Elisa was a first class host, explained the menu to us thoroughly and made us feel special throughout the afternoon tea experience. Excellent presentation, everything served to our table was fresh and flavourful. Couldn't have asked for more, and will definitely return in the future.

Needed a sandwich for lunch. I walked past and the food looked fantastic… It tastes every bit as good as it looks! Great service amid the bustle going past to and from the Bullring/station. Highly recommended!

Giuseppe is the man! Great service!

I visited the cafe and i had a good experience. The food was lovely and great service from Beatrice .

Enjoyed afternoon tea today with my mum and aunt. Super service from Araz

We just went there to see what’s on the menu and decide. I was checking the display menu and my dad was checking the food available on the display. He was just curious because he is not from here. One of the ladies from the staff was clearly not happy with my dad and was staring at him, frowning for minutes. May be we were not dressed classy enough for the place. Even though I find it really disrespectful and left.

Lovely staff, stunning Greek rye bread sandwich and saffron milk cake and apricot danish. Definitely call again if in Birmingham.. Giuseppe was very happy and helpful….also we had delicious iced coffee and fresh orange juice. Then 2 lovely cocktails 🍹 chin chin.. 🥂

Araz thank you for you service 👌
