The Clock Cafe in Birmingham

Not our first visit and won't be our last. Service is very friendly and quick even though everything we had was cooked fresh. Plenty of tables but not crushed together. Whilst it's not gourmet food,and nor would you expect that from a cafe, it is very very tasty. The owner is usually there and is a very pleasant chatty character who always checks you are ok. Very reasonably priced and with a Wetherspoons a stones throw away it is more than competitive.

On a day by myself, and visited the Clock Café for lunch. Plenty of room inside, with a long serving counter and plenty of staff. The is a wide range of food on the menu, and they offer anything from breakfast, to lunchtime baguettes and hot meals for lunch and dinner. I chose the chicken and mushroom pie with chips, peas and gravy, washed down by a Cappuccino! All at the princely sum of £10.90p. The coffee came very quickly, shortly followed by the meal, which was piping hot, obviously freshly cooked. It was very tasty and was quite filling. The café was pretty busy, with a constant flow of customers. Certainly looking forward to my next visit.

Mrs has been here a few times and told me to try it out. Ordered online and it came very quick and fresh, great bacon, sausage and hash brown sandwich.

Haven't been for a long time food used to be great but after yesterday's experience won't be going again myself and friend been up all night on toilet crippled in agony today

Managers like him are miracles. There is always a smile on his face. From the moment you step into his cafe, he spreads love. I received a free drink from him and he is such a calm and lovely person. Surely he deserves more. You should visit the place yourself and see the nice, calm place where the manager is always available.

Just lovely! The food isn’t anything ‘gourmet’ but if you like simple, straightforward, hot food and a good meal it’s great. The service is fab! The manager is always visible and around and will ask how you are, how’s your food and nothing is too much trouble. The place is spotless, clean and tidy. The prices are reasonable and variety of food is really good. Deffo a little gem in northfield 🫶🏻

We randomly popped in for lunch as we were passing and were pleasantly surprised. The service was excellent and the place clean. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Most of the hot meals are £6.99 and are value for money. We will be back and would totally recommend the Clock Cafe to anyone.

Stay away from this place!!! It used to be one of the best cafes around a few years ago, and now the food is horrible and a lot of drug users work there which is very off putting just by looking at them!!!

Burned chewy egg burnt toast hash browns taste like curry back on is still very much alive worst breakfast iv ever seen

The breakfast here is amazing and the staff are very friendly the owner is most friendly and passionate about his business and wants to make sure you are all happy got to be the best around well done all at the clock cafe

go in there regully but it is very crampt small tables ect food ok friendly staff cheap food .i dont know how they will cope with lockdown ,

Came to this cafe on august bank holiday Monday with my partner we ordered extra large breakers and a small breakfast the gentleman serving was very friendly the gentleman serving was asked why the cafe was not offering the 50% off eat out to help out he said it was only running through august of which it was still august 31 iv never tasted bacon so vile it really was on edible the toast was dripping in butter of which neither one of us like on our toast the eggs looked like they where cooked in some horrible oil I can only say the whole thing tasted like it had been cooked in a horrible oil or it needed to be changed

I ordered 1 large breakfast and 2 bacon and egg sandwiches through Deliveroo which collect the food from the restaurant. Food came, for £6.99 for a LARGE breakfast we got a polestiriene box with 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 1 egg and a few beans squished into the corner of the tray. I mean, this wouldn’t even fill up a small child so to call it large is really not the case. From that we only got 1 of the sandwiches. To top it all off I rang The Clock Cafe and a woman answered who was nothing but rude, arrogant, and not the slightest bit sympathetic or apologetic in the least. If it wasn’t for her rudeness and arrogance I could of let this go but it’s not my fault they got my order not only wrong but not worth the £12.86 and that’s with free delivery from Deliveroo.

All staff are very nice and welcoming. All food cold or warm is cook to order and fresh. Nice and clean. Nice social cafe for all ages. Much better than Cosy Cafe and Sainsburys cafe at Selly Oak. Great value for money. Matthew Watson

Myself and my husband often go into this cafe, the staff are always very polite and friendly, we can always have a laugh with the staff. The owner Frank always speaks to us, he always asks how we are and goes out of his way to look after us. The food is good value and quality, my husband likes burnt bacon which they are always happy to do. If your not happy with something they will always put it right with a smile. My favourite cafe in Northfield.

the only negative is the tasless sausages tables too short and a crampt cafe no parking out side got to fetch your own cuttery
