Marlboro Cafe in Birmingham

Fantastic cafe, food always lovely and hot, staff really friendly, great atmosphere. A real gem with consistently great quality food; rare to find these days!

Probably the best cafe in the Midlands. Great food, pleasant staff, easy parking. My go to place for a great breakfast 😋

Pre match breakfast, and it is bang on thanks girls

Very helpful and friendly service

Had a fantastic breakfast at the Marlboro Cafe. Everything is cooked to perfection.

This cafe has always served great food, new owners stepped in 4 years ago and the food is even BETTER !, I had the lamb dinner, there`s a bit of a wait, but thats because of the effort being put into the preparation and presentation of their food, so its tottaly worth it...top quality all round... well done guys :))

Been coming here over 20yrs from a little girl I always have dinners amazing choice of many fresh veg I have half roast half chips an omg I don't no weather I'm getting greedy but last week I did not get alot of chips but always have in the passed 🙃 but who cares I will be back and may I add in 20yrs that once is only ever issue it's amazingly clean with a amazing cook who cooks to perfection may I add when I was a child I lived on beeches Estate now I travel from cannock atleast 3 times a week lol ( keep up the amazing food staff and service)

Amazing friendly staff awesome roast dinner that you can take away

Had breakfast brilliant food as always and can highly recommend the roast dinners exceptional

Omg I’ve been a few times eaten different meals , homemade chips are amazing, chicken roast dinner was absolutely Devine , I never left a scrap on the plate , the staff are so friendly and welcoming, Claire I think her name is on front of house couldn’t do enough, such a lovely environment to go to highly recommend Thankyou all

Found the cafe by chance using Google as the hotel I was staying in had no food facilities. I knew when I saw the amount of people seated and the queue, that it was going to be a good choice. 10/10 for the quality of food and the customer service. I cannot fault this cafe in any way and it’s reasonably priced too. It took a while to choice my breakfast as there were so many options. You won’t be disappointed.

Polite and attentive Food good clean surrounds cooked well and too your instructions vegetarian options and vegan options nothing too much trouble for them 👍

Always good food very clean and tables are cleaned straight away after customers have left. Staff you can have a laugh with as well.

Friendly staff, good home cooked food. Had a 🥓 sausage 🍄 sandwich last weekend. Fantastic weekend treat. 👍👍

Beautiful food cooked to perfection

Will not beat roast din anywere

Fantastic service, real home-cooked food! Every time I come back to the Midlands this little gem is always on the list. Thank you

Lovely fresh homemade chips. Great service, thank you.

Lovely cafe, great food been there on and off for 25 years 👍🏻

Lovely little cafe ! Wonderful service and very reasonable!

Food not as good as it used to be

Excellent food clean and tidy we had a great breakfast this morning lovely all the staff outstanding

Used to use this cafe all the time until covid struck,so finding out it had new owners was a bit of a worry as the food can change,however went last week and ordered a breakfast,it was as good as ever and some of the same staff remain,so glad i returned and will be using from now on Went in again last Friday another breakfast and another delight thankyou

Great value Great food and they open Sunday for proper dinners

Great food and a good laugh with the girls!!👍👍👍

Had a medium roast dinner with all the trimmings. Lamb was tender, veg on point! Large portion. Friendly and prompt service. Clean premises

Very clean staff was very friendly. Food was amazing..

New management food not as good as it used to be

Ordered a lamb dinner, worst roast meal I have ever eaten and experienced! Veg was almost raw and totally tasteless, so nucked with been in the microwave for so long it was impossible to eat it for 5/10 mins. There was more lumps in the mash than there was peas on the plate, and the roast spuds was inedible! Totally horrible from start to finish, and charged 30 pence for a slice of bread, makes it the most expensive loaf in country!

Staff are so warm and friendly. The new menu is very good, caters to all appetites and budgets! The new refurbished dining area is very nicely done. Google says open on Mondays but I think they’re closed.

Orderd the medium breakfast with 2 toast they got my order wrong when i inquired i was told i was wrong, the eggs were swimming in fat , id give it a miss if i were you, if you have to open Sundays your doing something wrong, used to be a great cafe sadly moore.

Lovely staff and great food, would definitely recommend to everyone.

I had a really great meal on SUNDAY lamb melted in my mouth a proper home cooked meal.Caf was clean &staff friendly. Will go again soon .

Nice little cafe, well spaced out tables, friendly staff, a great range of breakfasts (the large breakfast defeated me) and lunches (the lunches sounded excellent with a wide variety of vegetables on offer with your choice of meat), good prices, small car park outside, the toilet is slightly strange, deep step down (there is a warning of a step by the door), quite narrow and on a slight slope, used by my wife who suggested someone who was disabled would probably struggle with it. Will return.

Helpful, friendly, very clean. Only 4 stars coz I only had a bacon sarnie so can't really comment on the food. First impressions are that it's probably exactly what your mum made back in the day. I'll find out soon enough. Would def recommend.

Sausage egg and bacon on soft white bread. Yeahhhhhhh that's the one rite there. Bit of red sauce and we good to go. Real nice

Such a shame how much this Cafe has changed and not only because of covid finally got back to this cafe this week end of December 21 and although it's been nicely redecorated the meals are not so good the chips tasted stale and the roast potatoes were not cooked correctly and the steak pie if you could call it that only had one piece of meat and that was too tough to eat

They do a lovely Sunday lunch, very nice staff

The service was brilliant, I went there today and ordered a large breakfast, couldn't finish it though. But the food and hot chocolate was excellent and mostly exquisite

Great food, clean, quick service and friendly staff.

First visit, lovely staff, great food, very hot and fresh. Nice clean surroundings, much better than it used to be before it changed hands. Will definitely be our new regular.

Lovely well cooked food, polite and friendly staff. So glad they are open on a Sunday morning. X

After an exhausting drive back from Dorset yesterday (traffic was deadly), the last thing I wanted to do today was cook.... saved by the lovely staff at the Marlboro , first Sunday opening , so for under £6 I had a lovely home cooked lamb dinner with plenty of freshly cooked seasonal veg roast and boiled ( my preference)potatoes and lashings on gravy. Lovely staff and lovely food.

Amazing food freshly cooked mmmmmm

Popped in and the new decor looks smart. Food bostin too, great roast dinners Bostin cafe serving bostin grub with bostin staff. What's happened to this cafe. Been shut last three visits?

Excellent food friendly staff nice and clean

lovely refurb of cafe very light and airy, a lovely welcome from staff nice fresh food cooked to order, spotless clean cafe , still great food and good prices good to see them back,

Excellent sandwich and a cuppa Great friendly service, Nice and clean just refurbished well worth a visit

A really nice, down to earth cafe with good food at good prices! 👍🏻

Really lovely service taking extra precautions during covid. Really great service delicious home cooked Christmas dinner. Well worth a try. Overall great experience.

Great service and good food will be back

We popped in as this is our local and found the service a little rushed and frosty and the food ok, though the sausages could do with an upgrade in quality. On the plus side, the cafe is taking the covid-19 precautions seriously and was very clean.

Since it has been sold by the family that had it for years it has really gone down hill. Cheap sausages, cheap oil, cold food, quality has been compromised. We wont be returning despite living round the corner.

Great food. Friendly service and fully complying with social distancing. At the moment you need to phone your order through prior to collecting. But you won't regret it 😁

Traditional British cafe serving traditional British grub. Friendly staff and good food

been going to this cafe for 40 years always good food and service my favourite liver and onions with chips and vegetables x 6 all for under £5

This cafe as been here years, good home cooked fresh food like your gran used to make really good. Staff are really friendly and prices great good place to visit and chill out

New owner Tina, seems a very nice person who wants to improve the internal settings whilst retaining the friendly and helpful service.

Chips great try breakfasts dinner

Good selection of meals. Very large portions. Good traditional cafe and very reasonable prices.

As always the Marlboro Cafe was great ....great food , great service & a at a great price....good clean food. 💙✌😎

Nice to see a working man's cafe real good home cooked food. Lovelly people.

Been coming here for 48 years absolutely brilliant. Eat in or takeaway food is top class can honestly say I've never ordered anything I didn't enjoy.Where else are you going to get 5 sandwhiches for under £11 great value from a top cafe

100% as always. Consistently good hot breakfast

Good hearty breakfast. Nice staff.

Lovely hearty breakfasts at a great price!

Have been going there for years. Great food. Great staff. Friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced.

I first came here years ago... It's still as friendly and decent as it was back then... Love this place

Great full English breakfast, yum yum.

Always lovely and pleasant staff. Home made chips mmmmmmmm 😊

Bit pricey, big portions love the Xmas meal!

Absolutely fab. Lovely family run business.

Really good cafe serving proper breakfast. Fast pleasant service.

Good wholesome food and swift service. Awkward access for people with limited mobility getting in and using the toilet, though.

Great wholesome food, pleasent and efficient staff, inexpensive, with a good menu.

Proper community cafe with good breakfasts 🍳

Been eating there for 30 years or more best breakfast in Brum. Dinners home cooked great food like you mother made. Top jolly.

Great Breakfast very enjoyable 😁

Best cafe in brum by miles been going there for over 30years

Excellent lovely saus and tom sandwich also a big breakfast for Martin.

A proper english cafe with good food.

Very good food, i have been coming here for 33 years. Still the same family who own it. Many thanks.

Good place to sit or take away food and it has big car park as well.

Good food the staff are very politeness and very welcoming I always use this cafe and I would recommend this cafe for customers to use

TOP FOOD / TOP PLACE / TOP PEOPLE AND AT THE RIGHT PRICE 5 STAR'S .

Excellent food good prices pleasant staff highly recommend

Top food at this cafe. Always have the large breakfast.

Cooked properly and plenty of it whether you want the full English or a roast dinner . Your belly will be full.

It’s good visit an old haunt. Even after 3-4 years absence the food and welcome was still fantastic. A very busy and clean cafe. Food served quickly and piping hot. The lunch menu of roast dinners is very popular. I really enjoy eating here and it’s great to see a good cafe still thriving. So many have closed down as they can’t compete with trendy coffee shops. If you want a decent breakfast sandwich or lunch, come here. Probably the best cafe in Birmingham.

Simply the BEST CAFE around for miles . People lovely and the food WONDERFUL I drive for a living and go out of the way to eat there, well worth the drive

I love this place great people and food I still like to ask my dad or mom if we can go back some time

Best cafe I have been to , amazing food !!

Never let me Down used the place from the 70s. 47 years +. Cant be Bad. 😘😘😘😘

I've been a customer here for well over 30 years and have never had cause to complain. Generous portions of hot tasty food (unless it's a salad which are also excellent). Food arrives without delay and staff are always friendly. Highly recommended.

Always look forward to eating here whenever possible, all freshly prepared and lovely cooked food. Consistently great breakfast and dinners, and the staff are always welcoming and friendly

Great home made food fresh veg home made chips, and even better service, standards always high and consistent, staff always smiling and lovely to customers,

This place is a total gem. From the ancient pinball machines to the mismatched crockery it's a 'proper' cafe. I come a few times a year, usually on a Saturday morning with my Son for a breakfast. They are always busy, but the service is brilliant, you just can't ask for the wrong thing. The breakfasts are generous, very tasty and always served piping hot. Every time I come here it makes me feel good that places like the Marlboro are still flourishing.

This place has been here since the dawn of time and never disappoints Great sandwich great service and friendly staff What more could you ask for? A++

This cafe has been here and run by the same family for years, the food is excellent, staff are brilliant and for under a fiver you can have a beef dinner, can't wait to go back

Love this cafe, especially the chips, reminds me of just how my nan used to make them back in the 80s. Always good size portions, obviously not a le carte, in my view better, food cooked and served as it should be. Wish I could get there more.
