They are good but very busy. They sell good food and drink. Service is good but can be improved. I wish there was more communication between staff and customer.

We use this local coffee shop/bakery most weeks and always enjoy the good quality coffee. There is inside and outside seating areas. We are pleased that they have now have fully returned to crockery for cups, saucers and plates. Our favourite takeaway food is there a famous sausage rolls which are well worth trying.

Very disappointed that all food and drinks are served in takeaway form even if eating in, Only paper plates and cups and no proper cutlery just wooden ones. What an environmental waste! I will not go back. A real shame as staff and food very good.

Looks like nothing has improved from my last review ordered a sausage/egg cob. food was not good...chewy bread, smothered on sauce, even though I said no sauce, but my issue is why was I only served one and half sausages!!!! in my cob....WHY?? what happened to the other half?? I expect I was charged for a full sausage, only given half a sausage , and the other half was resold in another sandwich!!! Really bad way to run a business Will be reporting to the local council and standards office!!

Why is this Café now more like a transport greasy spoon? It used to be such a treat going for a lovely pot of tea or a delicious cup of coffee served in proper crockery teapots and cups! Now it's served in plastic/paper cups, making the experience a little less inviting. The sandwiches and cakes are still of a very high standard and are delicious, but served in a paper bag!!!? What has happened to this high quality, high standard establishment?

Nice coffee but still served in paper cups? What’s all that about, if I wanted a paper cup (which I never do) I would have take out. Cakes far too large and expensive.

Understaffed and messy. They will charge you extra to eat in, around £1, but still serve everything in paper cups and bags, not even any cutlery, just wooden knives and forks. Absolutely shocking profiteering on what is already overpriced food anyway. The staff are doing there best but the owners are taking the p** out of them and their customers - they don't even have time to clean the tables or the floor. Really don't bother - No. 1 at the opposite end of the parade have plates and everything!!!

They advertise wedges solihull as a cafe. Don’t believe it! The guy serving told me they only do take outs We had paper cups and we had to eat our cake out of cardboard box and you pay extra to eat in! No proper cups or plates, tables dirty and bits food under table Photo on website does not represent reality. Don’t bother, go somewhere more civilised

This bakery is located in a local range of shops but it is also a café with a surprisingly spacious interior and some pleasant outside seating. We had two flat whites which cost £5.60 they were of good quality but unfortunately at the moment they are served in paper cups.

This place has really nosedived since they took over Sonias Bakehouse. They used to sell really well baked cakes, shortbread and my personal favourite was the iced buns, (which I found out recently they no longer sell). Been going to Sonias for about 30 years and the prices of the bread and cakes was always excellent, now the prices have skyrocketed. I didn’t need another cafe, they are a dime a dozen. Not worth bothering with any more, I certainly won’t be going back.

We had lunch here during the eat out to help out. The food was really nice and the cakes especially. The staff were not all that welcoming, although to be honest they seemed a bit overwhelmed by the numbers on the day we visited. We had to ask for our table to be cleaned, which is not ideal in the middle of a pandemic. We were also a bit unsure about the staff handling cash/the till and also serving cakes without changing gloves, but there is sanitiser, distanced tables and face masks must be worn in the queue. We shall keep coming back for takeaway cakes but not sure we would eat lunch here again, especially not at full price.

My daughter and I visited yesterday for coffee and a sandwich, the lady who served me was nice and friendly, I asked where shall we sit, she said we could sit anywhere we liked. On looking around I realised the tables hadn't been cleaned from previous customers, luckily we had some antibacterial wipes with us so we wiped the table ourselves. This really is not acceptable at the moment with Covid 19. When compared to other well known coffee shops (Costa are really good at wiping down tables, chairs etc) Wedges are lacking hygiene rules here. Also we paid extra to eat in and were served paper cups and the sandwich in a foil bag. Overpriced in my opinion but the main reason I wont return is the lack of hygiene.

I never write reviews, but i would just like to point out that the gentlemen u have working in your shop are a really credit when it comes to customer service. The ladies u currently have working there need to take a leaf out of that customer service book. They take their time to acknowledge u, and when they do they are sharp or snappy, a smile would be nice.

I have been a regular visitor to wedges for many years and have come to noticed the change in staff since the pandemic. Due to this the shop has lost its friendly banter and atmosphere environment. I don't shop here that much anymore due to your overpriced items during the pandemic and when its finally over I won't be either the place as lost its fun. The staff you have now seem to just tick a box, no real interaction. The pandemic has really changed the shop not for the better.

Lovely lady in white uniform served me, sandwich was not too bad either. However the lady doing the coffee, in a brown uniform, was sloppy and extremely arrogant. There was no apology or offer to rectify the error she had made in making a really bad black coffee. She knew she was wrong but her ego is massive, all she needed to say was 'sorry Sir I will do it again' instead she insisted she had been told to do it. Wedges your customer service is letting you down!!

I’ve been a regular since Wedges opened and I have noticed a massive change not only in the service but the purchases also. The tea pots have changed to a smaller size and leak all over the table! Stopped eating there as found the dressing on the side was pointless and floppy. There seems to be no organisation anymore, can’t say it’s all down to the staff as the younger lads seem frustrated at times and try their best. As a result of these changes I tend to use Changes coffee shop more. Arrived today at 3:35 not expecting to be told closes at 4pm! The staff were understanding and let us stay longer but disappointed as was looking forward to a relaxing coffee.

I always visit late in the afternoon. Just after 4pm. And I am always able to have a coffee and a sandwich. I am aware u shut at 4.30 but this has never been a issue for me before. I usually have an americano and a ham sandwich. I got my coffee but was denied my cold sandwhich by a gentlemen who said they had stopped for the day. I come in regularly usually every day and im usually served by a girl who serves my sandwich everytime even if it is 4.10pm and she always says i will make it for u before i finish. I still see sandwiches being made up until 4.30 so im not quite sure why i was denied yesterday. Very disappointing wedges including the guy who said no.

The older lady taking order not so! Order my mothers sandwich on white bread as due to health can't eat brown or seeded, it came on granary so took it back to her and she argued with me saying that I'd ordered brown, it was very embarrassing I even had to justify why I won't have ordered brown, she just then abruptly said wait there I'm serving. I asked her to look on the till, what a surprise I'd ordered it on white!! No apology off her, then went to order another drink from where she served us previously and felt like it was school dinners being told to go to other queue. Well done to the polite apologetic young lad though that served us credit to the company!

I complained that they all look so nice and now i am going to have to buy some! We laughed and asked about cows milk due to my sons allergy, of which she knew which one and checked for me. Fab service, lovely clean and i will be going back. I loved!!! My custard slice which the pastry was so light, crunch and simply gorgeous. Lovely thick custard, big slice and simply perfect.

I took my mum out for a treat to wedges on Tuesday, we had some wonderful food and coffee. At the end of our visit we decided to get some bread. As we approached the till my mum noticed there was only large bread left and I said to my mum, she could just buy a large and get the lady to separate it for her. She is very old fashioned and said she didn't want to be any trouble. We was served by a small young lady, brown complexion with straight purplish hair, she was the only one with a daffodil on her apron. We never mentioned it, we paid for the bread and the lady went to get it. On her return she gave my mum her bread and she had separated and bagged it in two separate bags. She had this infectious smile and gave my mum a wink and said 'it was no trouble at all'. It was such a nice touch to the end of our visit and I don't even know how she heard, we were not that close to her till, but she did and my mum thought it was lovely. I did highlight this to the young lady at the time and a few of her colleagues that was around agreed. But I wanted to highlight in again. Thank you again from me and my mum.

I had another fantastic visit to wedges today with my wife. I dont write reviews much but I thought I would on this occassion. Shop was very busy and there wasn't really anywhere to sit. Atmosphere was lively and pleasant. I ordered drinks for me and my wife. I approached the coffee counter and was taken back by the fact that our coffees was already made and waiting. The lovely girl on coffee soli I've had the pleasure of meeting previously, but I was still shocked she remembered our drinks especially all my wife's fussy requirement. She said how was the dentist and again I was taken back by the fact she remembered our conversation. She is always very busy when I see her on coffee and she always seems to be having conversations with many customers so to take the time to remember us customers individually is lovely. I had not told the lady at the till my wife wanted skimmed milk but she had alreday remebered she said 'your wife only likes full fat in tea' and again I couldnt have been more taken back it was lovely to be made to feel special. My wife was a bit overwhelmed when I told her. I told soli she is wonderful and she truly is.

I have been thinking about wrighting this since my visit today. I came in late afternoon for some items. Has I walked into the shop I could see the coffee lady busy making coffee the young lady on the fresh food section was making sandwiches and then there was a small lady by the cake area. She was cleaning the cake displays so has I see it she wasn't busy with other customers. Instead of acknowledging me with service I've come to expect she started loudly hollaing to her colleagues about being unable to finish what she was doing. Her colleagues continued to work and ignore her which I though was good. Am I expecting to much that as a member of staff who is paid to serve me has a customer actually services me with the good service I should get and now have come to expect from wedges. I usually have a great visit. She made me feel I had inconvenienced her and she served me with no smile, and boarding on angry. I was very unhappy with my visit and I wish I had wanted for another member of the team.

Me and my wife visited today for the very first time and I'm so glad we did. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff all extremely friendly. Me and my wife had 2 fantastic lattes made by a lovely young bubbly girl.We had a lovely conversation while I waited for my coffee. She seemed very popular and another customer came over to give her a hug and ask about her brother. We was a little worried about coming in being old of nature and we thought it was more for the younger crowd. But she made us feel extremely welcome and said she was honoured to make us our first ever wedges coffee and I was too it tasted amazing. We are now gonna be constant customers and I would like to personally thank that lovely lady because for her service. You can pay for many things but good customer service is priceless.

I visit wedges regularly and I never really right reviews but this needed to be said. I was served and greeted pleasantly by a member of staff - a tall slim lady with glasses on a string and thats where it all went wrong. I had to keep on repeating my order because the lady kept on forgetting and the nuremous times she got it wrong. She could not just take down simplyly what I ordered. Eventually after what seemed like a lifetime I believed she had finally got my order correct. When I watched my sandwhich being made I could see it was wrong the lovely lady who was making the sandwhich happily corrected my order and apologise for the error and made what I had asked for. My coffee was also wrong I asked for a large and received regulary because the first lady had got it wrong again, another lovely lady on coffee again apologised and continued to correct my order, my name was even incorrectly put on the receipt was when she called me I never answered at first and it was only because she asked me 'sorry what are you waiting for' that we identified it was my ticket. Then lady on coffee did make me laught my calling me by my new adopted name of Frank but my name is Andrew she told me her incredibly long name which made me laugh and helped bring my so far awful expereince to a giggle. On my way out I could see the coffee lady taking to the staff about errors well done!!!!! painfully bad service from the original server but thank you to the two ladies who helped me get my correct order of sandwhich and coffee.

Im am currently visting from the USA. We came across wedges after a long day shopping. The atmosphere was lovely that was until who I believe to be the manager starting to collect the chairs in from outside. The noise and cold that came in was awful and totally ruined my experience. I asked if this could be done after closing and she did stop but then after about 5 mins returned with another member of staff and carried on. I believe she just wanted to continue to prove that basically the customer is not always right and we can do what we want. I can only imagine they wanted to go home rather then wait until they were actually closed. Ruined my expereince and thats what I will take back with me from my first experience at wedges.

After a 3 hour drive from S.

The two men serving conferred with each other and said no you’re too late we’re now cleaning up, so embarrassing with my daughter pregnant and desperate for a drink and snack and customers watching us being turned away - your site says a warm welcome, I think not - thankfully the little Spar with their Costa machine didn’t turn us away and were happy to take our money - shame on you !

The food is ok here. They just need to sort the queuing system out. Every time we go in there appears to be an option of 1, 2 or 3 different queues. I have stood there before whilst people around me who came in after me are getting served. They clearly know the secret of the queuing. I have also stood there whilst their staff ignore me.

Just stopped off as i felt a little hungry to have a bacon sandwich. I ended up having Bacon , Sausage & Egg. What a great choice, I had to wait a little while but that was because it was being cooked fresh. The bacon was lovely and soft the sausage was nicely cooked a runny egg on fresh crusty bread. What a delight, definitely going back.

What a lovely place this is. I am a regular, at least a couple of times a week, as I pass this place on business a lot. I really can't fault it. The prices aren't cheap, but are good value (if you follow me...) - the food is truly excellent, both eating in or taking away. What makes all the difference is the exceptional friendliness and attitude of the staff. None of the 'Solihull Stuffiness' that is all too prevalent - these people seem to take genuine pride in being friendly and providing superb service. I only hope that their bosses appreciate them, and pay them above the market rate - the service that they provide is well above the standard, after all.

After a 3 hour drive from London we spotted this cafe when driving past and thought it looked nice. Im so glad we stopped here as the service was fantastic, the food delicious (the staff took a lot of care making our sandwiches) and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Anyone commenting about the price of the food needs to either come to London where it would be double the price or use their brain and calculate the cost of running a business this size. The bread was freshly made and the sandwich was stuffed with filling. The cafe was spotless and I would recommend anyone in the area give it a visit!!

As I am on the road all day I pop in occasionally for a takeaway sandwich but a ham/tomato/cucumber sandwich plus a tea is over a fiver. Why is it so expensive for takeaway service/drinks? All they do is put hot water and a tea bag in a paper cup, you do the rest yourself! I understand the expense of a sit in service in a prime location with not many covers but please review the takeaway prices - although I agree with previous reviews about disorganised staff and waiting times.

I’m not completely sure if wedges is a franchise or not but regardless they have made the place look lovely compared to the old bakery that used to be there. The only issue I have is that it is a bit more pricey. Not to say it’s not worth it because everything is nice from there but at the same time it’s nothing special. Can see how it would be a nice place to go to if you lived in walking distance though as there’s a few tables and chairs you can sit down and have a coffee and a bite to eat.

I popped in to Wedges today for a couple of cakes to take away! I waited 15 minutes before I was served and I was first in the queue. It seems that the seated customers take priority over the customers choosing to take away as all the staff were busy taking orders for sit ins and preparing food. No one on the counter to take orders for take out. When I eventually got served a member of staff did apologise and tell me they were short staffed. I then had to listen to a member of staff slagging another member of staff for not pulling her weight! The staff are clearly under pressure and not welcoming. It’s a shame tbh as the food is great and the fit out of the shop is lovely. Management you need to support your staff and get your act together as it’s not fair on your team.

Good display of baked food items plus a good lunch menu. Well worth a visit when in the area. Value for money.

Popped in here whilst scoping out the area as part of a potential move. Lovely atmosphere with just the right amount of hustle and bustle. The staff were really friendly, and the range of cakes was endless! A bit pricey for a quick cup of tea, but worth it if you're after a good spot for watching the world go by.

I want to like this place, I really do but I don't know why I come back. They forgot half of my order. That's after running out of brown bread. It's just badly organised.

Amazing cakes. Great cakes. Amazing rocky road. Not sure why tea is twice the price of Costa. The rest is comparable. The tea price is silly

Called in for a coffee and a cake while passing on a Saturday afternoon, food was usual Wedges Bakery quality, macchiato was questionable with the amount of froth.

Very good bakery plus cafe. Inside and outside seating. Had several early morning breakfasts, plus bought fresh bread and croissants there. Staff super. Service excellent. Nice place to start the day and read your newspaper. Selection of baked goods extensive, good range of hot and cold drinks. My choice - sausage and bacon sandwich with brown sauce (a veritable doorstep!) and a large mocha with extra chocolate sprinkles. Highly recommended.

I've been to this bakery/cafe on more than one occasion and although I like the food I think it's way too expensive....£3.99 for a bacon sandwich to eat in! The cakes, although delicious, are also quite pricey. I would probably use this place more often if it weren't for the prices.

The excellent bakery on Dovehouse Parade, Solihull has recently been refurbished. It now incorporates a coffee shop. The shop has been tastefully decorated and includes a home made bakery so the lovely fresh breads and cakes are still available. There is ample seating inside and also space outside where tables and chairs are placed whenever the weather allows.

I've eaten at Wedges in Earlswood several times and always enjoyed it, so was delighted to find there was now a branch much closer to home! Popped in today with a friend, and we both ordered sandwiches and tea. Staff were lovely; chatty, helpful and efficient, and the food was fabulous. My bacon and brie baguette was pretty much perfect and judging by my friend's response, the cheese and onion toasted sandwich she ordered was equally as good. I couldn't resist ordering a cream scone before I left, and that was also very good. Very pleased to find a cafe near to home that isn't one of the big chains, and I'll definitely be back!

Have visited here regularly since opening last year...the quality and service has been consistent to a very level..backed up by a fabulous artisan bakery on the premises....they go the extra mile with a great ' smile '....the pies ..pastries ....and cakes are what you would drive the the extra mile to find....not able to keep this little gem of a watering hole a secret any longer ....that is why I am sharing it with you all...

Every time I go there is always something wrong with my order! Often I have paid for extras that I don't end up getting or the food isn't what I ordered.

I have been to Wedges Dovehouse Parade a couple of times. The first time I just had a cup of tea and cake, but the second time was for lunch. The cakes look so appetising and the place has a nice atmosphere, but is still a kind of 'cafe' feel about it, with tables placed near where to people queue up to buy from the bakery and to order food.

We've visited Wedges on Dovehouse parade for lunch twice recently. It is a bit more expensive than others in the area but the cakes look good and bread homemade etc etc.

Fairly new cafe so thought I would try it. Staff slow, long queue. Coffee poor and bacon sandwich well below average but at the higher price they charge would have expected better. Bread fresh, no butter, not asked if butter was wanted so assumed it would come on buttered bread. Bacon good quality but hard to find in the sandwich as filling was sparse. Not good value or an enjoyable experience so first visit will be my last. Would recommend cafe at the other end of pervade for value and pleasant staff

It is located on Dovehouse Parade in Olton, Solihull and is a Coffee Lounge and Bakery in Solihull. All the food is made freshly everyday and the coffee is amazing. Good place for a meet, parking outside (limited time) but plenty of spots.

Such a shame, disappointed that I couldn't have water to dilute my drink. I had dined with husband and enjoyed my food. I ordered a passion mojito but unfortunately when it arrived it was a little to sweet. I asked if I could have some tap water to dilute my drink but unfortunately I was told I could pay for water but they won't give me water to dilute my drink. I am disappointed as most restaurants give tap water. I had already paid £7.50 for my drink and didn't feel right paying for water to dilute it. Such a shame. Please provide tap water

Really good food and extremely friendly staff. Our waiter Pedro was a star. So friendly and helpful, a welcome change to so-often surly hospitality staff. Steak was perfectly cooked, tagine flavourful. Creme brulee decadent. Wine excellent (merlot) . Food took awhile to arrive but it was worth it. Prices in line with airport / hotel sites. A nice start to our holiday the next day.

Very fast service! I managed to order at the bar, went for a coffee and when I got back to the table food just arrived 😌 Quite nice full english breakfast, not as good as at he city but as for the airport service it’s okay. Not a fan of the coffee though, barely tastes as coffee. The Staff was very nice and very quick.

Outside temp was 9c when we arrived on 20th September. Inside Costa was like sitting in a fridge with the air con full on cold! People were sat with coats on. Is this done to make people vacate tables quickly. Seating areas arranged OK but the furniture was worn out . The upholstery was torn and worn with the framework exposed. The bench seats were torn also. The upholstery was worryingly filthy which posed a hygiene risk. How much bacteria was in there. We were checking our clothing to make sure the dirt had not transferred onto us. Considering we were next to the NEC arena and most likely this place gets thousands of customers, a refurbishment and deep clean is long overdue.
