Poke Point in Birmingham

Nice grilled food very tasty good prices

Collective - meaning "gathering"/"bringing together" of - various drinks and bakes from pretty much all over the world (inc. Asia + South/Central Americas) - and people of all communities/cultures and ages, and even couples, friends and families. Very tasty drinks - such as teas, coffees and hot chocolates, and even iced drinks; glass of water is generously served always whenever you sit in; both house and guest coffees are also served here. Very tasty bakes - such as sweet (e.g. cinnamon bun esp when toasted and warmed up) and savoury (e.g. sandwich toasties like mushroom). Kind, helpful, friendly, considerate, accommodating and knowledgeable Baristas (and Chefs) - they know their drinks and bakes stuff very well, and they're happy to make suggestions/recommendations where required - thereby forming intimate/close interactions/rapport with customers. Comfortable seats, tables and even benches - whether you choose to sit inside or outside. Small but nicely lit and cosy atmosphere with nice music playing in the background inside - however the bar will be moving to a new, bigger building nearby soon (in around June 2025). Stacks of magazines available - different kinds/themes like fashion and interior designs - should you wish to read or entertain yourself (or others) whilst eating and drinking inside. Interesting moments - can provide inspiration (e.g. creative storytelling); pleasant events tend to occur (e.g. meeting new people and making friends with others). I was once greeted by a lovely Labrador belonging to another customer whilst sat inside, which made me feel very happy, hence happy memories are created. Amazing service - both reasonably priced and timely served. Overall, the Coffee Bar is cosy and colourful, and full of amazing artisans - pretty much coming up with creative ideas for new/potential recipes, whether they're drinks or bakes/food.

Fantastic food and super attentive service, as others have said a hidden Jem

I recently visited this Eritrean restaurant with a group of seven, including three kids, and we had an amazing time. The food was a delightful adventure as we explored Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine for the first time. The person in charge was incredibly patient, explaining the dishes, making adjustments to suit our preferences/queries, and offering helpful recommendations. We also ended our meal with a traditional coffee experience that was rich and flavorful—highly recommended for coffee lovers. The entire meal was reasonably priced, leaving us full and satisfied. The atmosphere was welcoming, with clean facilities and convenient parking just a short walk away. We also appreciated how the host took some extra time to chat about their culture and language, also asking us about our own background and in overall making it a truly warm and inviting experience. He also gave us to try a bit of the Eritrean Zibib liqueur so next time we know what else we can order. Service/food was a bit on the slow side but we were not in a rush anyways, Maybe some sort of starters could be recommended to fill that gap? Not a big problem anyways we truly enjoyed the experience. I think we were lucky the place was not busy but I hope they are prepared for when it gets crowded and can cope with higher demand. I'll definitely be happy to repeat the experience.

This gem is hidden away in an industrial area, but don't let that put you off. The inside decor is funky and the sun terrace at the front is a great spot to sit and soak up rays with a coffee and full breakfast roll! Emma and Leanne are friendly and really good at what they do.
