Tasteology Cafe in Birmingham

The royal breakfast was much better than the Shakshouka. The coffee was normal, nothing too worthy to note. The person at the cashdesk taking orders was cheerful and fun to have a conversation with. Unfortunately, someone scratched my parked car with a key or a sharp object outside this place, and we could do nothing about it. So, one tip to customers would be to park somewhere you can see the car from the shop or off road. I'd not park outside the convenience store again.

Took my partner for a birthday breakfast, and it was our first time visiting. Wonderful breakfast and lovely place. Clean and welcoming. My partner had the Royal Breakfast and polished it off! He particularly liked the sausages (made onside!) I had poached eggs which were perfect 👌🏾.I would recommend here for breakfast/brunch meets. There isn't a lot of parking available so just be aware of that.

The food was delicious but what stood out was the friendliness of the staff, the staff came out to speak to my daughter and made a fuss of her which we appreciated. The pistachio latte is delicious

Delicious food and customer service.

Food was delicious. Service was great. Presentation was perfect. Place is lovely.

We had a fantastic breakfast experience with my wife at this cozy spot this Saturday. From the moment we walked in, the owner welcomed us with a warm smile, a friendly handshake, and genuine conversation, which really set the tone for our visit. We started with the Pistachio Latte's, which were beautifully presented, topped with whipped cream and garnished with what seemed like a sprinkle of nuts — visually appealing and quite delicious! Moving on to the breakfast plates — they were hearty and impressive. The variety was great, offering everything from hummus and smashed avocado to poached eggs and well-seasoned (homemade!) sausages. The veggie sausages my wife had were also delicious although I'm a meat lover. The sourdough bread was toasted to perfection, and the hash browns were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The ambiance was comfortable, and the service was top-notch. The owner’s hospitality made us feel truly welcome, and it added a personal touch to the whole experience. We left satisfied and eager to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere, great food, and warm service!

Beautiful taste and atmosphere... Very friendly and welcoming.

im choosy with coffee but theirs hit the spot! Im pleasantly surprised! Looove their Pistachio latte. And also their sourdough is good too! 👍👍 recommended 👍

Really delicious food! Recommend the Royal Breakfast. Pistachio latte is the best latte I’ve had. Very friendly staff and great service also. Will be back and definitely recommend to all!

Lovely food. I had the anomaly bagel. The poached egg was runny and perfect. I also had the Elite smoothie and enjoyed it

Really nice place, staff were very friendly and chatted to us. Really enjoyed our pistachio latte, possibly the best latte I've ever had! Had an upgraded shakshuka which was very delicious. Good portion sizes also!

Amazing customer service, food and atmosphere highly recommend I will be visiting often. Food and ice latte especially the pistachio one was to die for, only sad I didn't know about this place sooner.

accommodating and really helpful. Food was delicious and good portions size. Try the focaccia it’s amazing. Good value for money. Very friendly service, and great atmosphere.

Visiting from Hampshire and needed food! Found this on maps and so glad I went on instinct 😀 Fantastic food and drinks. Really inventive cooking and full of flavour. Will be definitely going back! Friendly staff and speedy service. Full cafe so really popular foody stop.

Lovely food Busy on a Saturday so I would anticipate a longer wait.

This place is a real gem worths every penny i spent here They have a very good selection of food and drinks and the atmosphere very cosy plus the excellent service they have even under pressure and busy days like the weekends Very highly recommended place 👍

Fantastic service, friendly staff and atmosphere, food and drinks were lovely, definitely come back again highly recommended

Excellent service and amazing food 👌🏽 Can't ask for more.

Great service and amazing food! Best English breakfast I’ve ever had!

The breakfast was to die for and the coffee was second to none.

We visited Tasteology on Friday for the first time and it was a lovely experience. The staff are very friendly and have a lot of pride in what they are doing, the food is amazing! And it has a lovely atmosphere with nice relaxing music and a chilled vibe. This is a hidden gem and we will definitely be returning very soon!

Had a delicious breakfast this morning at Tasteology. It's nice to find a place that is providing a high quality breakfast which is very reasonably priced. The best thing about the Royal breakfast that I ordered was ALL the elements were made incredibly well; I couldn't fault it any way. Service was wonderful. One final point is that this place is so clean which makes for a very comfortable dining experience. I look forward to returning.

Tasteology has proven that it is one of the best halal brunches in Birmingham if it is not the best due to the variety and the selection of dishes they provide regardless the excellent service. The coffee is amazing and the drinks are wonderful starting from the fresh juices,healthy smoothies to the tasty milkshakes. Looking forward to see this place in different locations.

Tasteology Birmingham is an absolute gem! The atmosphere from when you walk in is a very cozy and an inviting setting. The staff are superb, Al Hajj the brother who served me and my friend was extremely kind and attentive. The food speaks for itself as it was extremely delicious and full of flavour, I went with the quantum burger, tasteology, pasta and the cookie dough drink which all of these were made fresh and the best ingredients. This is definitely a 5/5 experience, you won’t regret it!

best breakfast spot in town i rate them

I visit this place daily for my first coffee of the day, there's no coffee like it. Haj and Mohammed are the best. Today I went in for a breakfast but then saw they have something new on the menu, vegetarian quiche, so I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, it didn't disappoint. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely have again. Thanks guys, luv ya.......Mandie

Lovely food and boss came our to see if everything was okay 👍

Beautiful place, lovely atmosphere, and kind staff. My children really enjoyed it here :)

You have to visit this place , food is so good and priced well for the quality you get . The staff are very welcoming & the owner is a great guy with a brilliant sense of humour . The French toast is amazing as was the burger , you have to try this place !

Amazing food. Healthy n tasty. Good ambience. Friendly staff. Their special imported coffee powder is mind-blowing. Love this place

Drink took longer than food I requested it before my food. The burger thing looked amazing but was absolutely vile wasted trip and money

First of all, there were many people eating. I wanted to eat shakshuka, but since I was late, I had the Black Hole burger and Date Night smoothie. There really is no need to talk much. It was the best burger of my life. I try franchise hamburgers often enough to try them every time a new product comes out, but here, ‘we are different from common franchises’ and the taste proves the difference. The chef even came out to ask if the food was okay, and his manners towards older guests were also exceptional. It's the perfect meal for the best meal in the UK.

Clean environment, good service and delicious coffee. I recommend

Very cosy beautiful cafe where they served a variety of dishes and a very good coffees and fresh drinks

This the best halal brunch in Birmingham by far I’ve tried the French toast and the royal breakfast and it was fabulous and the coffee was absolutely spot on Definitely I’ll be back with my kids as they love it

Very tasty and high quality breakfast. They also have a very good Ketology breakfast. Coffee was very good. My daughter also had lemonade mint drink - it was fresh and delicious. Service was super friendly and lovely with kids. I highly recommend and would come again if we are in the area.

I recently visited Tasteology with my family and had an absolutely wonderful breakfast experience. Nestled in the back streets with ample parking available on the side street, this place is a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the lovely and friendly man behind the counter. The chef was equally friendly and made some fantastic recommendations. The breakfast menu is straightforward, featuring a variety of top-notch, freshly cooked items that are bursting with flavour. We ordered quite a few dishes to sample everything, and each one was just great. The quality of the food and the friendly service truly stood out. I highly recommend Tasteology for anyone looking for a delightful breakfast experience.

Absolutely beautiful food, tastes fresh, presented beautifully, seasoned just right. Service with a smile, always a good friendly environment. Come from far and wide just to come here and enjoy a little munch with the palsss!

Amazing place great food and service. This is a hidden gem. Quality of the food is delicious top quality produce

Consistent amazing food, the owner is the nicest person. The food is fresh and made there an then

I had heard about this place from a few people and whilst I don’t live too far away I thought it was time for me to check it out. Upon arrival we were greeted with a friendly welcome and sat down right away which is always a bonus. The menu has a variety of options and I was spoilt for choice. I always like to try different things but went for a Full English breakfast with the kids opting for a breakfast wrap each. To drink , we had a cappuccino, mocha and a Ferraroshake. Having placed and paid for my order, I then spotted the French Toast which looked amazing and had to place an order for this as well. The place was busy and the food arrived after 20 minutes which was expected. The presentation was excellent and the taste was sublime. The kids enjoyed the breakfast wrap and the full English tasted on point. I have a sweet tooth and the French toast did not disappoint. The bread was soaked in maple syrup and topped with fruit with a Nutella drizzle. The icing on the cake was the lovely vanilla ice cream scoop which brought it altogether. It was so good that everyone had to have a taste which was expected but next time I won’t be sharing!! All in all it was a very enjoyable experience. The owner came out and said hello which was a nice touch. I highly recommend that people try this place, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing food , great service and atmosphere is great , 100% should visit.

The best brunch in town Come here everyday for my turkey rashers meal Keep it up guys

Immaculately clean cafe with polite and efficient service. Perfect coffee Separately and deliciously cooked poached eggs in a very tasty but loose ratatouille. Totally lacking garlic, reduced tomatoes ( can would suufice ), cumin , sweet paprika, chilli, fresh coriander and underseasoned but salt and pepper on table. Certainly not authentic Shakshouka with oven baked eggs.

Great coffee and friendly service

Fabulous quality food in a cafe setting that the larger chains can only dream of. If you are a chocolate connoisseur and enjoy milkshakes then our favourite is the Ferrerroshake milkshake. I did enjoy the taste and food related quotes and infographics.

Coffee was the best I have tasted in Birmingham. Absolutely had a fantastic early morning breakfast :-) it is my new favourite place.

This is an incredibly special place for Birmingham. Located a few minutes from the QE and approx. 15 mins from the city centre, it’s the Gem of Harborne with plenty of available parking and access to the Coffee Shop. The French toast and Royal Breakfast are Ace! Highly recommend trying one of their milkshakes/ fresh Juices! We are greeted with a smile and served a quality brunch on every occasion. Family friendly Space and Hajji looks after everyone!

The food was really good and filling for the price. We really enjoyed it!!

Amazing food, we finally visited in person and we absolutely loved it. Food is just top tier. The owner was incredibly welcoming and also the interior is amazing. We will definitely be back and recommend this as an excellent option for a vegan brunch and Iced coffee!

The food was bangingggggg and super fresh. Nothing but good things to say about the place

My favourite thing on the menu at the moment is the MC² Burger and the Mediterranean toast. I'm working my way through the menu 😋😅. Cant praise the staff enough for making me feel welcome. I'll be back soon with my family.

Someone has recommended this place to me and the food is absolutely delicious and the place warm and friendly.

As a former employee i previously worked here for almost a year, while i was in employment at Tasteology one of the most important things to the business was ensuring customers were content with the quality of the food. Having left on bad terms… i still didn’t have an issue with supporting the small business, i had come in once with my partner and we were declined service because it was “too busy”, as i’ve said previously, having worked there i’ve seen first hand how “busy” the place can get and know that 4 tickets and 1 in house customer is not “busy” however i brushed off the childish behaviour of not serving an ex employee and we went somewhere else.. Having said that and due to previous experience of being declined service in house we decided to order via uber eats, now i’m unsure if it was a genuine mistake or if it was done intentionally, the food came raw and incorrect, i did message the owner privately to address the issue and save the public humiliation and i received no response however for the interest of other customers i wouldn’t see it fit for anyone to order tasteology online as they clearly don’t value the safety and quality of the food they send out to people when their faces are hidden, it was impossible to eat the raw food and we didn’t even receive the correct order (smoked salmon and egg brioche)… really poor and disgusting from a place i previously respected for its ability to maintain the quality in their food, however i didn’t know that once i left, raw meat would be served. foods all frozen anyways so i don’t understand why it’s so hard to make correctly 🤡 if you’ve been told it’s “fresh” you’re being sold dreams. Check your food if you order online or come into tasteology …

Everything was top notch. Great service and delicious food! Highly recommend.

I have been twice in this lovely coffee shop the service was excellent the environment was perfect and the food was outstanding Keep up the good work your are doing See you soon

A delightful, halal brunch with good vibes and excellent service. It's definitely a hidden gem within the city.

Nice and cozy place. Delicious food and friendly service.

Food was soo good made me come for the second time. I can see this spot being my regular place for breakfast. Food is made with love and is always on point no complaints here. Atmosphere is also 10 out of 10

Absolutely fantastic and worthy of every rave review. The coffee was sublime, ingredients fresh and perfectly prepared. Definitely a hidden gem, will definitely be returning.

While the kids were at school on one fine morning, we decided to go for breakfast. A quick Google search for a halal breakfast place near our area, and we opted for this place, and it was the best decision we made. We loved it so much that we had to take the children over the weekend for brunch. First time round we had a full English breakfast and shakshuka. Hubby loved his full English. However, I was not keen on my choice. Had some macarons, which were lush. The second time round we took kids and had french toast for kids and three breakfast wraps for hubby and older two kids. I had the Mediterranean toast, and man it was the best with sour dough and avocado, fried eggs and salad. The kids had hot chocolate and we had tea. My older son had a spiced chai latte which was absolutely beautiful and my older daughter had an iced latte. Everything was 10/10. Prices were decent, and the food was high quality, and the quantity was just right. The hospitality and warm welcome will definitely bring us there again soon.

Lovely place, nice atmosphere, food quality was excellent and staff are very friendly

Amazing food , the English breakfast was a real good size , the owner is really friendly and made the experience that much better. The shop decor is also very nice and beautiful

One of the best halal breakfasts in Birmingham. The royal breakfast is a must. And they offer student discount.

Great coffee. Fantastic shakshouka!

Breakfast was amazing. Friendly staff

Absolutely a must try breakfast restaurant(Halal options). The staff are very friendly, the food is dam good yummy. I have tried different things: the traditional english breakfast, the upgraded Shakshouka and the eggs& chees bun. All of them were really yummy. My advice is : do not stick to the traditional English breakfast but try different things from the menu. The atmosphere is great, the decorations are unique and modern. The music were lovely. Be careful: it becomes very crowded on Weekends so make sure to arrive early.

I came here for the first time a few days ago, the menu was diverse with many attractive options. Luckily the owner was super accommodating and helpful, he suggest I try the “upgraded shakshuka”, which comes with marguez sausages and poached eggs, and sourdough bread. Whilst I waited for my meal to arrive, I ordered a flat white. The beans were freshly ground and the coffee itself was made perfectly. Definitely one of my favourites. My food arrived, and it looked amazing; it’s refreshing to see the chef care about the presentation. The shakshuka itself was amazing, well seasoned and tasty, the poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and the sausages were out of this world. We left this place extremely satisfied and I plan on coming here again the next time I’m in Birmingham. Kudos to the staff and owner.

I have been coming here since it has opened. The owner is super friendly and the food is amazing and very unique compared to other brunch spots. You can tell a lot of passion and effort when into crafting the menu and recipes. On mornings I usually go for the the Royal Breakfast, which is loaded with delicious foods like guacamole and hummus, and arabic sausages. The mushrooms and tomatoes are super yummy as well. For afternoon lunch I usually go for the chef’s special pasta which is tasty and the serving size is generous. I’m usually spoilt for choice every time I come here. I highly recommend!

Very good brunch and the food was amazing. I'll make sure that I'll be back again

Wonderful Royal breakfast and shekshouka is amazing. Very cozy place and highly recommended

Nice food very tasty Great customer service I Recommend for all my friends

Amazing Breakfast so fresh great coffee I love it I will come back again

One of the best places I have seen Clean welcome and service… well done and thank you to the whole team

Excellent service and delicious, healthy food.

Very poor costumer service, very rude and disrespectful owner please improve your manners before serving to costumers.

Lovely food, great coffee and super nice staff they go out their way to look after you. Will be back

Best breakfasts and coffees in Birmingham. Fantastic owner and relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for families or people working remotely. Would particularly recommend the ketology breakfast and the cappuccinos.

By far the best family friendly cafes in Birmingham, food is fresh plenty of options for everyone. Kids enjoyed their food and service was to feel your welcomed. Will be coming back.

Nice food, nice place in a quiet neighbourhood so not busy at all. Staff are really friendly. Highly recommend the burgers!!

Vegan options in have the vegan breakfast delicious wish they did l have more vegan options though

10/10 brunch, can’t wait to come back!

Great find Googled coffee shop near me from the QE ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

I would absolutely recommend this cafe, not only do they serve the best coffee I have ever had in my entire life & that’s on being a coffee connoisseur but they also serve the most fresh, quality & flavourful food in Birmingham. Honestly would recommend anyone & everyone to go. To top it off the service & hospitality is also amongst the best I have ever received at an eatery. Honestly a flawless experience from start to finish, not a single thing to improve on. Just perfect!

What do I say, Tasteolody is definitely the correct name. The food and drinks are amazing, and everything is fresh. Thank you for a fulfilling experience. Keep it up. We'll definitely be back.

I was in town visiting but I wished I lived near here, so I could eat here all the time. Great tasting and amazing service.

At the QE Googled coffee shop near me .... what a treasure. Lovely people running the kitchen ☆☆☆☆☆ I'm so glad we found it definitely going again 😍

Great food, great service, there was lots of options to customize the food and chai latte was on point

This place is such a gem really love their food, especially the vegan brrakfast, and the staff is so nice. I enjoy going here after my Saturday parkrun as a treat, and it makes my day.

Honestly one of the best Cafés around! From their Mediterranean style breakfast, to their amazing hot drinks!! Welcoming and lovely customer service too 👏

Came across this local restaurant by accident - happy we did - the food was fresh and tasty and inexpensive/good value for money. The three of us had the various pasta options with choice of sauces and accompanying garlic bread, plus the skin on fries (the latter of which were on a deal to include a soft drink). Food arrived promptly considering it was freshly prepared. The coffee was also good, with plenty of choice for both iced and hot coffees, teas and soft drinks. Sadly didn't get chance to sample the deserts/cakes, as we were full, but they looked lovely, as did the burgers and breakfast items that other customers had ordered. Chap serving, presumably the owner, was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and plan to return.

This cafe stands out as an absolute gem—a culinary haven where the owner's unwavering passion permeates every aspect. Notably, each dish undergoes the meticulous scrutiny of the owner himself before making its way out of the kitchen. This dedication to quality and detail transforms it into an exceptional choice for those seeking a delightful breakfast or brunch experience. What sets this establishment apart is not just the delectable menu but the personalized touch that extends to every customer. The proprietor's hands-on approach ensures that every culinary creation meets the highest standards of freshness and taste. In a dining landscape where such commitment is increasingly rare, this cafe shines as a beacon of genuine enthusiasm. Beyond the culinary delights, the service at this cafe is nothing short of exemplary, consistently hitting the mark. The attention to cleanliness is held to the highest standards, creating an environment that elevates the overall dining experience. It's a rare find—a place where passion is not just an ingredient but a philosophy. This commitment ensures that each individual customer departs not just satisfied but warmly welcomed, making every visit a memorable and delightful occasion. In a world where genuine dedication to customer satisfaction is a diminishing trait, this cafe stands tall as a paragon of hospitality and culinary excellence.

food is great and the service is top notch! very recommended!

One of the best english breakfast i ever tried , ordered the royal breakfast and every single component cooked perfectly ! would def come back..

This was perfect, food was very tasty, not too expensive, cozy, clean. The staff are friendly. Great place for breakfast. I'm definitely coming again. Im going to introduce my Mother and brothers to this place. Fantastic.
