Kafenion in Birmingham

Pleasant surroundings Bournville.Average menu items not extensive but way overpriced. You can eat at London prices here without the London pay rate

Great location and could be a fantastic little cafe but staff are very slow, it’s extremely overpriced and most of all absolutely filthy inside. I’ve probably not noticed as much in the past as I’ve sat outside but queuing up to order this weekend I had to walk out as the ground in dirt everywhere is disgusting, especially when seeing into the kitchen. Not sure how they’ve passed hygiene inspections.

Nice coffee and cake,, vegan options

Great coffee, lovely staff and very relaxing & comfortable coffee shop. Highly recommend 🙂

Really good 👍 We don't come to Bournville very often and we tried the cafe a few doors down last time and were sorely disappointed But Kafenion is completely the opposite, the coffee is really good (service was slow but it was busy) the treats were also really good and the quality of the service was second to none Really nice inside and lots of tables outside 👍 Recommended 😁

Ordered online, waited over 30mins, went to enquire where food was and server came over laughed and said "oh it might not be working" poor service. *sighs*

Finally a delicious oat flat white in the area. Great friendly service and smashing decor. Only complaint would be the toilet needs some handyman affection.

Great food, great atmosphere and very kind service!

I came in to work from my laptop.. The vibes are lovely; it was busy but not too busy that you can't get a seat. The coffee is some of the best I've had in a long time! I'll definitely come back to try out the food - I didn't have any today but everyone else's looked amazing. Friendly staff, cosy vibes and great coffee!

Very popular cosy cafe with home made food. Get there early if you want a seat

Love this place. Ordered via QR code at the table and unfortunately there was a problem with the system which meant that they hadn’t received our order and we waited for quite a while. Staff dealt with it appropriately and efficiently, order came quickly thereafter and everything was amazing. This place is even more stunning when it’s sunny and you’re seated outside. Couldn’t recommend enough.

What a little gem this place is. Food is excellent, staff very helpful, professional and polite. The cafe is very clean. As with all other cafe, restaurants etc the prices have gone up but the food is well worth the price and all cooked fresh. Highly recommend a visit if you are in Bournville.

Vegan sausage and 1 mushroom bap. Maybe a good idea to cut the sausages, so they fit the entire bap?! Chicken souvaiki wasn't particularly tasty. It came with a smidge of tzatziki on there. When we asked for some more, we were charged an additional pound. Cappuccino was lovely, i ordered a large one... and it was huge. The tea not as tasty! Wont be going back again.

A great place for a quick bite or coffee. A bit crowded but the food was very good!

Went with my daughter for a late breakfast on a Sunday. Really nice food, relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Bournville location is excellent.

What has happened to Kafeneon? Used to be amazing - one of my absolutely faves - great value for money, great staff. However, have been increasingly disappointed with their food over last three visits. Tiny portions usually cold and really not up to previous standards. At the last visit I was extremely disappointed - but the service was brusque and harassed, my was minuscule portion of undercooked (translucent) “poached” eggs piled high with freezing yoghurt and served with a wartime ration of bread was awful. What an absolute rip off. I don’t mind paying nearly £10 for a plate of food for lunch if it’s good and fills me up but for this size portion and the poor standard, their prices are exorbitant. I saw one customer going back to order a second plate because they were still starving after their first (they must have more money than me!). If I go back I’ll stick to coffee and cake and hope that these are still of the extremely high standard they always used to be.

On a hot day, we found no available outdoor tables due to the venue’s popularity, but there were plenty of spaces indoors. The menu, though limited, offers nice options, especially if you’re a fan of teas and coffees. Don’t miss the delightful array of cakes at the counter. Ordering at the counter was efficient, and the food arrived promptly at our table. The quality of the dishes was excellent, with fresh ingredients. The only minor hiccup was the knives, which struggled with the sourdough crust. However, with a little care, it wasn’t a significant issue. Overall, it was a positive experience, and considering it was only 8% more expensive than a simple cold sandwich meal at the garden centre across the road, hence we found it to be good value for money here.

A busy lively cafe, serving drinks, cakes and light meals. Table service for your coffee, which can take a few minutes if they are busy. They also have tables outside. Barrel of water to help yourself. Only 1 toilet

Lovely cafe with seating in 2 rooms inside, some outside at the front of the cafe & some in the beautiful garden at the rear when the weather is dry. Food is excellent with service to the tables after paying at the till. Staff are very friendly & very busy each time I visited. The cafe is situated at one end of a row of shops round the edge of Bournville Green which is very picturesque.

I tad chaotic because it's so popular!

Been here a couple of times & it's always busy! Lovely rear garden too. Good selection of dishes & friendly staff.

Walked out without buying as there's a 50p charge for non dairy milk. Says a lot about your business' attitude to the environment and inclusiveness.

Lovely place but getting on the pricey side. Drinks very small yet on a par with Costa / Starbucks but food lovely

I decided to check this place out after a long walk. I tried out the mocha and it was gorgeous! The place looked very nice and I would definitely come there again.

Beautiful cafe, wonderful location just on the green. The breakfast is quite pricey but you do pay for what you get. The sausages in particular are extremely tasty. Looking forward to the garden area to the back opening also.

A classic English brunch restaurant, with a vintage atmosphere. The menu is not very extensive but with quite different dishes, prices in line with the market, the food is very well prepared, I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken (£17) it had a considerable amount of chicken, and the rest of the vegetables were very fresh The only bad thing was that the onion was very thick and strong. Clean restaurant, common bathroom, but clean.

Ate a full English. Really tasty. Definately coming back.👍🏼

Great coffee and fantastic community cafe

Delicious high quality ingredients, a great breakfast, one of the best in South Brum. Would be even better if they didn’t charge an extra 30p for decaf coffee mind but that’s a minor detail. Recommend 10/10z

Good breakfast and the food looks appetising!

Love the atmosphere at this cafe, it always feels full but always can find a space to sit. The drinks selection is great, loving their honey lemon tea at the moment. Food is quality too with decent portion sizes, you won't leave hungry.

Coffee and huge cobwebs do not mix, and when you have informed the staff and nothing is done, means I will never visit again. Very overpriced coffee, especially for a small americano and swap the milk for soya and charged an extra 40p which meant £4.20 for a small cup that was luke warm is disgusting. Shame cause its really quirky inside.

A greek based cafe on the green at bourneville next to Cadbury world. Very popular with the locals , very busy but well worth a visit

Great food and coffee. Very tricky to find seating at lunchtime on a Saturday. Often have to hang around and wait for someone to leave. You'll also see people in the same seats for hours at a time, inconsiderate sadly

Nice food and staff but always seems to be a lack of chairs! Cursed by their own popularity.

Food was really good ,service was fast and friendly and genuine.i had the kafenion breakfast and my son had bacon and brioche and fries(no judgement,it's holiday:) I had the turmeric ginger coco latte and he had a branded lemonade.Hadnt been in a while but was as good as ever. Definitely return more often again.

Lovely ambience. Best hot chocolate we've had from a cafe. Nice Greek touches throughout the place. Always bustling. Staff are very helpful. Food is reliably delicious.

Fabulous place, amazing food, beautifully cooked. Good variety & choice, plenty of veggies options. Always good & very reliable.

Nice location and great coffees. Could do with being a bit warmer

Beautiful Cafe, with a lovely range of boutique dishes. Seating at the back during the summer.

Lovely food great coffee and very popular. Gorgeous location and outside seating when the weather allows.

Atmosphere and service excellent, waitress Phoebe was charming

First visit which was very pleasant. Lovely warm atmoshere service e excellent and friendly we were served by Phoebe whi gave great customer serbice nice smile

The food was very nice here it was hot and tasty full English. I also had a hot chocolate, which was warm. Found eatery was cold as the door was opening all the time, heating wasn't very good, this put a slight dampener on my visit. Staff was helpful and polite.

Popular café in unique suburb of Birmingham that retains a village feel. Excellent all day brunches, especially the shakshouka. Coffee is absolutely wonderful. If you are anywhere near here, stop and enjoy.

Very full English, homemade beans so good. Vegan option was amazing (no cardboard sausages!) and great staff. Well worth the price!

Amazingly busy cafe , warm and comfortable. A rare gem.

Love this place the statff are so friendly and helpful and it's a very special place

Beautiful café in the heart Bournville

Great coffee and thank god they're open on Mondays as a lot of good coffee places close on a Monday. This place has full opening hours which is rare these days.

Lovely visit but Avacodo on toast was meagre and toast was cold and dry, not warm and soft. No orange juice available. Recommend full fry to avoid disappointment!

Nice place.Gingerbread latte my favourite 😍

Love this place. Great food, great service and a cosy atmosphere.

I can’t fault their food but don’t bother if you are a group any larger than 3 who want to have your meal/ coffees onsite. Very tight space indoors, and you are expected to squeeze past tables to order and pay at the counter at the back. We were a group of 10 who wanted to support a local business as our office is nearby, and a nice walk to a late lunch would have been lovely. We tried a number of times to get through on the phone in the day with no answer, eventually stopping by one morning in person to try see if we should book ahead, and was told that we can’t make a reservation, but for a group that size we could come and wait a bit for a few tables to open up. It seemed reasonable however today we finally went to the cafe and were met by surprised looks by the staff at the size of our group and told we can’t sit inside and to sit in the outside area. We arranged the tables ourselves and then when looking for a server to take our order, we were informed can’t open a tab and we have to order upfront at the counter and pay. We were treating our team for a local bite so had to gather our group order ourselves and go to the counter to order and pay. We had also long finished our drinks by the time the food arrived and everyone was put off having to go order and pay again to get more drinks. If we had been allowed to open an bill for the group or sit inside (even at a few separate tables would have been okay) we likely would have spent far more on our bill, multiple drinks and perhaps even cakes per person, but the treatment we received and dismissive attitude put us off and we could not leave fast enough to get out of the cold. Please in future specify a max group number for walk-ins on site and on your website and on google so people are well aware if they haven’t visited you before. And consider bookings even just for a set time of day, or specific days per week, for local groups who may be larger but would still like to come enjoy a low key meal together (on a shared bill!)

Good food and drink offer. Could do with putting soup and roll back on the menu.

We’ve been coming here, for a while now, food fabbo, and the staff are really lovely and cheerful. Always says morning or afternoon to us. Keep up the good work up. 😊😊😊

Beautiful place and nice atmosphere. However quite unprofessional staff. Trying to give your order to giggling teenagers that think they are in a playground

Amazing breakfast cafe with loads of vegan and vegetarian options. Very friendly staff, quick service, delicious food and fair prices. Lots of seating outside at the front

Great coffee with a fantastic selection of food and cake.

Get the Greek toast 😍healthy serving of cinnamon toast with hearty yoghurt and loads of berry compote.

I often come to this beautiful cafe. It is a joy that we have this in Bournville! However sometimes, and in particular today, I have come across double and single buggies left in the gangway between tables, thus preventing customers from getting out from their seats! Today, in particular, someone had left a double buggy in front of the counter thus obstructing customer's movement, especially having access to place their order. There was no one beside the buggy and it was unclear what it was doing there. Please can attention be given to this problem - it can be a dangerous hazard for both the elderly and disabled, as well as making for a lot of inconvenience for other customers?

Nice breakfast, a little different to the norm

Przyjemne i klimatyczne miejsce z fajną obsługą. Lokalizacja dość dogodna więc i dostęp do lokalu był całkiem przyzwoity.

Excellent coffee and cake. This time we had breakfast, so tasty with a quality sausage, bacon and egg. There are tables outside to watch the world go by, and a secret garden out the back with seating too.

Delightful indy cafe. Really lovely space. Three of us had lunch followed by coffee and cake. Everything we ate was delicious. Very highly recommended.

First time here, raining so very busy. Enjoyed it nonetheless

Got a sausage brioche. Out came a roll with ONE cold sausage. £6.50. I'm no stingebag but that is just taking the micky. I don't know how staff keep a straight face. Staff friendly though and polite. Food came out fast and they had oat milk. Lovely ambience. Will be back for a coffee and eat elsewhere.

Best Cafe in Birmingham. Great vegan choices. Lovely staff.

We've been coming for years but unfortunately the quality has reduced significantly. Prices have increased £8.50 for a mushroom toast with no other extras - Mad!

I would happily eat everything on the menu. Choosing was truly difficult - I'll have to go back again to try everything else!

Cafe is amazing for food and especially the coffee, but this place is costly and therefore cannot give it a perfect 5 stars.

Hoped for some hospitality on a quiet morning, especially when you charge 70p for a non dairy milk in a small coffee!

We won’t be back. Bad customer service, brown mushy banana on waffle, and they mixed up our sandwich order and took no responsibility, coffee was mediocre.

Great vibe in this place... dark decor, fairy light, retro lamps etc. Staff helpful and friendly. Oat milk available and had a delicious vegetarian breakfast of Feta Mushrooms on Toast with a side of Halloumi. GF bread for me so delighted!

Nice atmosphere cafe to stop by for a coffee and a slice of cake and to sit outside in the summer time. Love little cafes like this with affordable prices

Although a bit pricey, tasty food!

Lovely coffee fantastic service

Very good lunches in a nice environment and with friendly staff

Vanessa Parava place, lovely food and caring staff xxxxxx

What rob dogs!! £9 for 2 cold drinks. When I questioned the price I was told that the lemonade was freshly made... Told her to forget it,,!!

Just pity the secret garden was bit open

I really enjoyed my time there. Such an amazing experience. Great place with welcoming staff. Everything we have ordered was tasty.

Super cute café with lovely staff! We sat in the outdoor area which was really big and had loads of seating. I tried their vegan sausage sandwich which was great, but the sweet brioche bun was a little too sweet for my taste. The fries were really good! I tried their vegan hot chocolate, but found it a bit tasteless. I would recommend this café for its food and location!

Good food. Loved the food. Very busy in the nice weather

Really lovely place. We were able to find a table in the secret garden at the back. Good range of choice on the simple menu, all three meals were delicious and well priced. Staff very friendly and helpful. You could do with table numbers at the back as well as the front to help the staff find the right table for the dishes they bring out more easily though.

Nice little cafe in Bournville. Happy helpful staff. Nice coffee and clean Toilets. Choc orange cake a little dry

Great food service a bit slow, although it was busy.

Really nice place on Bournville green, greek based menu. Have been several times. Last week took, 2 dogs into the secret garden at the back. Friendly staff and good food.

Always have a nice time here. Always bring my visitors here. Never let me down

lovely & cozy caffee shop , food was a great 👍Sometimes I just go for croissants and tea

Went at lunch time, food was excellent, very good portions and definite value for money

Local cafe that's worth a visit. Good choice of meals, coffee's and cakes.

Great tasting coffee, lovely cakes. Certainly not the cheapest around and in my experience service can be a little slow. Staff very friendly - a great little coffee shop.

Five stars for the cat and halloumi pitta alone

Love the Quarter Horse coffee! Reminds me of Monmouth Coffee Company in London. Which has been a favourite for years. And the scrambled eggs are really creamy and delicious.

Very helpful I cant stand long but they found me a chair to sit on while waiting for a table good food and drinks good prices

Best flat white, and very friendly!

Indoor and outdoor seating available

This place needs no further endorsements as it's thriving already! The only negative is that you might not be able to get a table at lunchtime because it gets so busy, and I don't know if you can book in advance because they don't answer the phone... Plenty of seats outside, though, so that's another option in warmer weather!

A wonderful selection of food co siting of extremely wide variety. Whether you’re coming for breakfast brunch or lunch you’re sure to get all the food you need and more for reasonable prices and with friendly service along the way. Personally, I would recommend the hot chocolate with all the trimmings as it is delicious!
