The Coffee Bar Birmingham in Birmingham

Finally! I found excellent coffee in Birmingham. Great coffee knowledge and great coffee.

Easily the best coffee you can get in Brum! Great service and great vibes, make this a worthwhile trip, when in Birmingham city centre 🙌

Fantastic coffee with knowledgeable staff on the origin of the beans - if you are a coffee fan don’t miss a visit here.

Incredible, they couldn’t miss here if they tried. 5/5. Pourover: Sebastian Ramirez - El Pacer from the off menu/frozen menu. Service with a smile and great knowledge of coffee.

Seriously enthusiastic about coffee. Went in for a double espresso, they explained the two different blends they had in great detail. Served the espresso with a spoon and water (like it should be!). Seriously good coffee and a proper coffee gem in Birmingham.

Came in first time just and is one of the best coffee ive had <3

Thank you to all the team being so consistently amazing at what they do! I tried different beverages in past from this coffee place and it always uplifts my mood for the day! Today for the first time I ordered macha latte with Oat milk from here - honestly, one of the best ones I ever tried! Thank you for great service, lovely atmosphere and great quality drinks!

Hands down the best coffee shop in Birmingham! The Coffee Bar never disappoints. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the coffee is always top-notch. A big shoutout to Brad, the barista – he’s always friendly and makes the perfect cup every time. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great coffee and amazing service! افضل كوفي فيك يا برمنجهام 😻

I always try and make the effort to visit this place when in the city. Have always had a pleasant experience and, of course, the coffee is the real deal. They also tend to always stock some incredible beans (I just purchased a bag of delicious 'Square Mile' Red Brick and will be going back for more)!

I had a fantastic experience at The Coffee Bar in Birmingham! I arrived just as they were about to close, but the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, letting me order a Matcha latte even at the last minute. Not only was the service exceptional, but the Matcha latte itself was absolutely delicious – perfectly balanced with a smooth, velvety texture and just the right hint of earthy sweetness. It was clear that they use high-quality ingredients and take great pride in their craft.

My go to in Birmingham. The coffee here is always perfect and an experience. I've learnt much from the team and they're always happy to share their knowledge and answer questions. Their hospitality is second to none; the staff are always genuine, so charming and welcoming. This place is a gem🌷

Fantastic service by staff and management

Super friendly and competent staff, learned a bunch about coffee. My new go-to place when visiting Birmingham!

Love this place. They serve specialty coffee and the staff really know their stuff. The Belgian chocolate mocha was the best I’ve had in a long time. I would also recommend opting for their limited edition bean as they have unique and pleasant notes. My only complaint is - Please consider moving to a bigger place so more people can try your amazing coffee! 🙂

Great staff Serving delicious refreshments Love the ice Tea🙌Much appreciated

Still the best coffee spot in Birmingham city centre. Consistently great coffee and some interesting guest roasts which change week to week. The team are all charming and work hard to provide a really wonderful customer experience. It's also great to support an independent business, especially one that cares so much about the trade they're in.

Amazing coffee, wonderful chat. Big Love Shannon!

Be it the house or guest, easily the best coffee in Birmingham. The staff are very welcoming and their knowledge is incredibly impressive. The cakes are always delicious too! Visiting is always something I look to whenever I am in the city centre and I can't recommend visiting to any coffee lover highly enough

Best coffee in Birmingham. Phenomenal service, impeccable product knowledge and always the very warmest of welcomes. Would not hesitate to recommend to locals and visitors to city alike.

Coffee Knowledge and service is impeccable. Thank you Bradley for great recommendations! Highly recommend

Simply the best service and quality of coffee in the area, by miles. Other places can't even compete. If you're a coffee lover and don't mind paying extra for a premium experience, this is the place for you. The only issue is that it's small, but they're opening a new place nearby soon that will fix that problem too.

This place is utter perfection. Knowledgeable, passionate staff, amazing coffee, fantastic food. Worth the trip to Brum for this place alone.

The Coffee Bar Collective never disappoints. Hands down the best specialty coffee shop in Birmingham. Everyone at the store, especially Alan and Ben always make you feel very welcome and definitely know their coffee. The guest roasts is always special and rotates every few weeks. The coffee beans have an excellent flavor profile and always surprises. Definitely a must try when in the area! P.S The toasted Banana bread looks and tastes absolutely amazing.

Incredible! Al has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced, from opening the door for the customers, to having a truly extensive coffee knowledge. The frozen doses menu has some beautiful coffees on, the care and attention to these coffees is unmatched. Al made room for us and also seemed very supportive of the team through a busy period.

Amazing coffee. Literally one of the best coffees I have had in Birmingham. Staff really knowledgeable and passionate but not snobby. Cannot fault this place I'm only giving it 5 stars because I can't give it 6

Best coffee I’ve had in a long time! The staff are so friendly and genuinely passionate about their craft. Cute interior too and the coffee is presented beautifully. Definitely coming here again!

Exceptional service coffee and people, we enjoy and feel happy here. Thank you!

Excellent coffee, excellent food. Frozen dose menu is always a treat. Devastated that the kitchen is closing. #BringEugeneBack

Great coffee, good food, really friendly staff. Highly recommend this place. I am glad that I went to this cafe. Update: a year later, opinion hasn't changed. Went here for almost a year once every month. Moved down to London went to more cafe's in four other countries and this one still remains my favourite. Coffee obviously is always great, everytime i come here i get to try some new variety of coffee, the staff are passionate about what they do and the go into details about the product. If you love speciality coffee you have to visit the shop atleast once

You know those coffee bags that list tasting notes—‘hints of this, notes of that’—but you never actually taste them? This place is different. Here, you can truly experience every flavor in the coffee. The depth and richness are unmistakable. Their service is exceptional, and once you try their coffee, you’ll never want to go anywhere else. Trust me, this is coffee done right.

Can see why there are so many 5stars, fabulous espresso, every time I visit Birmingham it's my go to place for a double espresso, look forward to the next one 👍🏻

we weren’t planning on stopping here at first, having tried 2 other brunch places which were closed for food, but third time was the charm and helped us discover a new favourite! such friendly, helpful baristas who very kindly asked the chef (shout-out Eugene!) to make us toasties despite it being past 3, recommended us some excellent cakes to take away, and made some of the best coffee i’ve had on the highstreet in brum!! absolutely fantastic hidden gem with amazing staff, will deffo be retuning

I often visit The Coffee Bar Collective and can definitely say it's a hidden gem worth visiting! There is always a great vibe from the moment you walk in and are met with a warm and cozy atmosphere; the outstanding service from people who really know what they're doing and strive to achieve only the very best, a selection of delectable sweet treats, a great food menu, and brilliant selection of non-coffee options that are unmatched. There is clearly a high standard that is upheld with both quality and service and I cannot recommend it enough!

I've been going here for over a year now, they serve the best coffee in Birmingham. The baristas really care about every product they make and sell and are incredibly knowledgeable. The guest roast often changes which makes every visit exciting, and they work with some great roasteries! If you're into home brewing the beans they sell are great too :) Definitely check it out if you're into coffee and supporting a local business!!

Best coffee in Birmingham, the coffee, food and service are all excellent!

The coffee is amazing and made by the most welcoming staff. (Shannon makes the best hot chocolate!)

What can I do but give my upmost praise to this establishment. Been coming here on and off since they opened in the Oasis market and I only wish I lived closer so I could come in more often 😄. To witness how far the brand has come is amazing. TLDR, if you like coffee come and drink at the coffee Bar.

So deserving of a 5 star rating, such a gem of a coffee shop and the staff are so passionate about delivering excellent customer service as well as amazing coffee, cannot praise enough!

One of Birmingham’s absolute hidden gems! The staff are phenomenally friendly and knowledgeable, the service is impeccable and the food/drinks are divine! I would live here if I could - I can’t say enough positive things!

Best in town , you can’t fault this guys passion for coffee

Best coffee in Birmingham! Fantastic house, guest and artisan coffees. There is something there for everyone, even if you don't appreciate quality coffee, The Coffee Bar will change your mind. For those making their first steps into the world of artisan coffees, Al and all of the staff have an enormous wealth of knowledge and will expertly talk you through anything you want to know. The staff are wonderful and are a shinning light for the coffee industry, exactly how it should be done. Precise and perfect service every time without fail. For those seeking an extraordinary experience, the menu of specially selected artisan coffee is fabulous. Crafted with impeccable detail and made to perfection, worth the wait!! You really have not experienced truly amazing coffee until you've experienced The Coffee Bar.

Perfect coffee Amazing food Lovely staff

I was served by Al, the quality of the products here are unmatched, the team focuses on the little things which makes it a great place, I highly recommend it.

Genuinely speaking it is the Best coffee in town! The service is great, and the coffee is truly authentic—something that’s hard to find in other cafés. With their wide variety of coffee beans, you’ll never get bored of having coffees there.

Think I may have just found my go to place for coffee in Brum. I've not been to many coffee shops (nationally) were the servers willingly engage with customer to talk about the coffee they are serving. For someone with an interest in coffee this is such a big selling point. Coffee was superb, service was even better. Will be back to try toasties and cake and pour over. Delighted that I know this kind of place is available in the centre.

Absolutely love The Coffee Bar Birmingham! The owners are incredibly knowledgeable, always polite, and go above and beyond to help. Their drinks are amazing, and their advice on picking the right brand for my v60 pour over has been amazing. Highly recommend this gem of a coffee shop! Attached the lovely coffee art they also make- this time a beautiful swan.

Friendly and helpful workers, best quality coffee I've ever had, and lovely atmosphere

Best coffee in Birmingham and the best service in Birmingham - thanks Al!

Consistently the best flat whiteI've ever tried each time I go. The baristas are very knowledgeable and nice and they have new guest beans on all the time which are usually incredible. A bit small in the shop but you cannot complain when the coffee is so good.

The coffee is the best I’ve had in the UK. The banana bread and toast are also absolutely delicious. It’s better to try them with the coffee. The service is polite, friendly, and warm, and I reckon that the service might also be the best in UK cafés. I’ll come back to Birmingham just for this place. P.S. I’ll visit all the cafés in London that you recommended. Thank you so much.

Lovely guys, excellent coffee, they really care about what they do.

The espresso was a delightful revelation, showcasing the cafe's commitment to quality. The single farm coffee beans, sourced from award-winning roasters, brought a rich and complex flavor profile that was both robust and smooth. The barista's skillful extraction highlighted every nuance, making each sip a memorable experience. Having two espressos back-to-back was a testament to how truly exceptional they were. This cafe is a must-visit for any coffee enthusiast looking for an extraordinary brew. I must also mention Matthew, who was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the product.

Great service and lovely place to chill! Best mocha I have tasted. Will be back in the future.

Staff and service? 10/10 Coffee quality? Is beyond amazing!!

Delicious specialty coffee, just what we were looking for!

Really good coffee and great staff

Probably one of the best flat whites I've had in my life. The staff were also exceptionally knowledgeable about the coffee and super friendly and attentive. Potential for 6 stars (!) if the place was a little cosier to sit in for a while (perfect for a quick coffee but too small to feel like you can linger).

Excellent coffee, excellent service.

The best coffee in Birmingham 👍

coffee done properly!!! incredible service and delicsious coffee small shop with a cute atmosphere highly reccomend for any coffee heads out their :)

The coffe beans on offer were very good, we had the house roast. It was medium roasted, which was what we wanted..we did not eat there. Coffe was served with water too. Staff were super knowledgeable about the coffee. Oh and it tasted so good.

Exceptional filter coffee, and lovely service to match. If you're in Birmingham and love coffee...come here.

Best coffee and toastie I’ve had.

Who said you can't drink good coffee in England? Quality espresso and long black, to enjoy with a little sweet! We were very well advised and well received. Thanks again!

Great nutella latte and a super cinnamon roll! Will def get here earlier for a toastie next time!

Small friendly coffee shop with a range of different coffees and treats that are described perfectly by the staff

The BEST coffee shop in Birmingham bar none. It is just a step above the rest.

The finest coffee I've ever had bar none.

Great coffee selection and recommendations, flat white was top notch. So try the cortado with freeze distilled milk

I’ve been trying to find my Birmingham coffee shop of choice when visiting my Birmingham office over the last 5-6 years. None have ever quite met the quality I’ve wanted until I found this place today. The coffee was incredible - perfectly prepared and amazing beans (choice of house or guest). 10/10 would recommend for any coffee snobs. Look forward to coming back next time and sampling the food.

Awesome place to grab a coffee and bite to eat . Great friendly atmosphere, good choice of coffee's which you don't get in most coffee outlets . Recommend to all .

Fantastic coffee shop! Alan, Brad, and Matthew are above and beyond with their outstanding customer service. The house and guest coffee selections are top-notch—absolutely delicious. The shop also offers delicious desserts and food. Highly recommend! ☕️✨

Honestly some of the best espresso I've ever had, extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. They get a great selection of specialty coffees through on rotation so there's always some new flavors to enjoy.

Lovely spot for coffee lovers! Everyone is super nice and service is great.

Had a coffee here a while back, probably the best coffee I’ve ever drank. The customer service was amazing, a lot of attention to detail and really cared about the customers experience. 10/10

These guys are the best, super passionate and really know what they are talking about. Food and cakes are always sublime! Especially the cinnamon bun, and basically any brownie. If you are in central Birmingham, skip Starbucks and go to Coffee Bar!

Found this on my way to the train station as I'm not local...and had a fantastic experience. The staff cared, talked all about the beans available. Coffee was presented stunningly and I will be back as soon as I'm able

Awesome 🙌🏼 absolutely amazing drinks I had never seen anywhere else before. The service is impeccable.

What a lovely, small but cute spot! Neat & stylish making the most of the compact space! More importantly, absolutely delicious coffee! Presented in stylish cups with unique flavoured chocolate sprinkles. Even more importantly, the quality of service was awesome. Young barista (Becca) explained the different coffees on offer, made sure my table and stool outside were dry and clean. Served coffee and water in a neat tray. Asked a couple of times if i needed anything and if the coffee was good. Seemed to take a lot of pride on her customer care. Also very neat & smart in appearance! These small things matter. Quality & well trained staff with good etiquette reflect upon good management and an ethos of valuing customers. Deffo going to revisit! Lastly, also had a bit of interaction with the manager who was exactly the same, kind & courteous

Visited The Coffee Bar on a recent work trip to Birmingham - had a fantastic Long Black and banana bread. Lovely atmosphere and friendly team working, would highly recommend for those in the area.

Very ordinary coffee and way overpriced

Today I had a number one banana bread which was absorbed stunning, on top of that the Nutella latte was gorgeous. There's both great service and great drinks/food and I would definitely recommend coming here to anyone.

Impeccable service! Incredible coffee! Above and beyond in every way, the staff are lovely and know their stuff, I think I'll be making this place my new regular coffee stop! Best coffee I've had in ages and I go out for coffee almost every day.

Great independent coffee shop with lovely staff. Vegan options are also avaliable here. I had the La Cabra hot chocolate with oat milk and a vegan toasted cinnamon bun. Would definitely recommend!

Best coffee I've had in Birmingham. Very friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and happy to talk us through all the beans we can choose

The hot chocolate was nice; the blondie was better; the service was even better.

The best specialty coffee in Birmingham and the staff are welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend it. It has become part of my daily routine.

It’s worth to try, nice atmosphere it’s like a small community independent coffee shop. Could get quite crowded very soon. Recommend to go on midday, I have quit Starbucks once I go that

Went to Birmingham not knowing where anything was and places to go! I came across this lovely coffee shop and was made to feel extremely welcomed, so friendly and full of knowledge on what to have? I sat down with a flat white and couldn't believe the taste of the coffee ! It was full of flavour choc/ hazlenut/plum I believe I chose. I was also impressed I then moved on to have granola coconut cream and fruit. Yum! it was amazing! So want to come back to bham just for that! Bring one yo codsall

The best specialty coffee you can drink and the staff are treated beyond what you can imagine. They are very respectful and helpful. Their coffee is number 1 for me and I advise everyone to try it. It is very, very, very excellent.

My all time favorite coffee shop 🤍 Only TCB can only satisfy my eager desire of artisan coffee 🥰 The affogato in the picture is more than perfect and it is my honor to get the last one in this season🤍 Looking forward to next summer xx

The best coffee in Birmingham! The staff are amazing and so lovely!

Visited first thing this morning with my sister. A cute hidden gem, coffee was perfection! Something for everyone, the barrister was very knowledgeable not to mention the outstanding service! Had to get the loyalty app asap, can’t wait to be back! Thank you for a great experience!

I travel a lot across Europe and North America. This is easily one of the nicest specialty coffee shops I’ve been to. Their tasted banana bread is fantastic as is their coffee. The folks who work there are lovely. Will definitely revisit when I come back.

Excellent service and even better coffee. My go-to for coffee in Birmingham centre, alongside Pause. A really great addition to the area!

Incredible coffee, great customer service, house roast is always a sure banker

Based on my experience, and on behalf of my friend, a woman that she said”the last tasty coffee I had, in Italy, I agree with…. actually it was speechless. Thank you for being in Birmingham , you are one of the kind. Have your coffee in a warm not extra hot , you can see the difference from the photos- a warm coffee has dark top, which turns into light if extra hot. Thank you for reading my review🥹🇸🇦💚🇸🇦💚🇸🇦

Went in for a flat white, Bradley and the manager were absolutely brilliant and it is one of the best coffee shops in Birmingham.

I really like the matcha latte, the pastries are delicious and the service is also very good, thank you very much.

Definitely one of the best coffee you can find in UK. Nice service as well!
