Yorks Bakery Cafe in Birmingham

Frecuenté a los yorkinos varias veces en enero de 2025 sin darme cuenta de que cobran 50 peniques por la leche de avena. Esto significa que ahorran en el costo de los lácteos y se benefician de las opciones o requisitos dietéticos de los pueblos. Esto es discriminatorio para quienes tienen características éticas y de salud. No es amable con el medio ambiente desalentar el consumo de leche de avena sobre los lácteos. Yorks es una cadena lo suficientemente grande como para tener suficiente poder adquisitivo para evitar cargos discriminatorios. Por lo demás, el personal es encantador, y renunció al cargo de 50 p para mí la última vez que estuve allí, y la ubicación se ve bien.

Wow! Enorme menú... tantas opciones nuevas y novedosas de desayuno / brunch! Tenía los frijoles coreanos en tostadas y un Benedicto de salmón... muy bueno. Es mi nuevo lugar favorito en Birmingham para el brunch!

Fuimos a brunch festivo con la familia a Yorks Café en Paradise Circus Birmingham. Pedido bebidas y comida - esperó 20 minutos para el café y una hora para la comida. Dos de los platos estaban fríos y tuvieron que ser devueltos. Uno estaba caliente. Estropeó lo que se suponía que iba a ser una buena reunión. Ten cuidado, las porciones son pequeñas y parecen que se han tirado en el plato. El camarero fue educado y aceptó que habíamos experimentado problemas - sospechar que el gerente o propietario se escondían. Reemplazó parte de la comida sin costo y eximió de la tarifa de servicio.

Delicious food, really nice chicken shawarma and good service.

We stopped in for a quick coffee and cake while we waited for a show, food & drinks were amazing, options varied and the staff were friendly knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Anteriormente hemos estado una serie de limas a Yorks en la Galería Ikon y siempre lo hemos encontrado excelente. Pensamos que probaríamos el nuevo establecimiento. El personal era encantador, pero el servicio era muy lento y tanto el café y el chocolate caliente eran solo tibios. La pastelería no llegó en absoluto. Realmente decepcionante en un día frío. ¡Volveré al Ikon pero no al nuevo!

Tenía muchas ganas de probar el nuevo lugar. Realmente decepcionante. Servicio muy lento. Bebidas tibias. No parecen haber funcionado más rápido para poner realmente 4 bebidas en una bandeja y llevar eso a la mesa en lugar de bebidas individuales a cada persona. Pedí los huevos benedictos con espinacas. Después de un poco de espera me dijeron que no tenían espinacas! Pedí huevos con trucha ahumada. Cuando llegó no pude ver la trucha ahumada y la consulté. Dijeron que era salmón ahumado, ¡fue un error en su menú! El rosti servido con los huevos estaba empapado e insípido en lugar de patata caliente y crujiente. No había menús de comida en la mesa y cuando finalmente trajeron algunos después de que se les preguntó, se veían tatty y orejas de perro y eran claramente del antiguo lugar! El personal parecía estar deambulando y nadie parecía estar a cargo en general asegurándose de que el servicio era eficiente. No dejé propina, como suelo hacer. Definitivamente no volveré. Lo cual es una pena, ya que realmente lo esperaba.

Came here on Sunday and my wife and I were really looking forward to it but that never lasted very long. I have to be honest in my review and I can't knock the service at all .But service is nice when it's good but that wasn't what we came for we came for food. I have to say it was shocking!!!! Especially for the money you pay. The sausage was vile I've had better in prison!!!! And that's no joke nor a brag it seems as though the ingredients are the cheapest money can buy yet sold at crazy prices do better Yorks.

Cafetería muy agradable, muy amplia y relajante. El personal era muy amable y atento. Sin embargo, descubrí que por lo que pagué, no reflejaba lo que tenía. Pedí un capuchino grande, pero no estaba tan caliente. También pedí un benedicto de huevos con un lado de hongos. Costó £ 2 por los hongos, sin embargo, era 1 pequeño portobello cortado por la mitad. Simplemente no parecía que tuviera el valor de mi dinero. El resto de la comida era preciosa. Toda la factura llegó a 22 libras. 72 . Entiendo que está en medio del centro de Birmingham, pero para cualquiera que venga a desayunar o tomar un café, es bastante caro.

Precioso edificio, personal amable (pero lento), café terrible Nunca tengo azúcar en mi café, pero incluso con un azúcar en él era tan amargo que no era potable.

Como alguien que está tratando de ser más saludable; me encantó el concepto de evitar alimentos ultra procesados en el menú. Había una variedad de opciones en el menú - desde un desayuno inglés tradicional hasta aquellos con influencias mediterráneas / norteafricanas. El restaurante en sí es muy nuevo, me gusta mucho el diseño y tenía un gran ambiente en el interior. Tomé salmón/holandesa con un café con leche de avena. La camarera que tuvimos (nunca consiguió su nombre, pero tenía una pequeña parrilla de oro) era encantador! Muy acogedor y atento, alegre y perseguía mi café sin avisar ya que era un poco retrasado. . ¡Grítale! La señora en recepción también era muy servicial y servicial. Siempre es un gran comienzo en un restaurante cuando tienes un buen frente de casa, para hacer que tu experiencia sea positiva. Defo volvería para probar el resto del menú

It's a great new cafe in Stephenson Street, overlooking the council house. The cafe was busy when we walked in, but they did manage to find a table for the two of us. The interior has the current trend of unfinished ceilings, where the air conditioning and electrical ductwork are exposed. We had a friendly & helpful waitress who engaged with us. The meals were lovely and tasty. My only criticism is that my meal wasn't that hot, but it didn't spoil the experience

This brunch place is millennial nostalgia and I love it! Our go-to for brunch in the city, food comes in generous amounts and great appetising and aesthetic appeal, sweet staff, nice woody interior, cozy to sit and sketch in.

If you enjoy coffee, you should check out Yorks Cafe!

Very overpriced for the portions, and on top of that they add sneaky service charges. Found myself paying £27 for a piece of toast with some chicken on it and a pint, felt ripped off completely. While the food is nice, there are plenty of other better options in the city centre.

Always quite busy here but love waiting and also the queue is very fast! Love the brunch here!

Always my favourite place to have coffee and cake in Birmingham City Centre. Friendly staff and great coffee.

Google profile says opened until 6 but they are open until 5

I had a latte (£4) and the korean egg drop sandwich (£10) with avocado (instead of bacon). The latte was great, incredible texture and exceptional taste. No complaints there except that the latte is 10oz and priced close to lattes in London Mayfair. Not sure how they arrived to that price, bigger margins? I underestimated the size of the sandwich, it was quite fulfilling. Definitely properly fueled my backpacking tour in Birmingham for the whole day. The idea of using a shukopan (over e.g. sourdough) was an interesting one. The flavour was delicious but I felt like it could use a bit more range (yes, I'm asian). Peeking at the other tables, all the food that arrive looks absolutely stunning. Atmosphere was great, feels like a good place to do work or have meetings. Overall, would come back next time I'm in Birm.

Yorks Café is an exceptional spot for brunch and coffee enthusiasts. The menu features delicious brunch options and top-notch coffee that make every visit memorable. Its location is incredibly convenient, situated between Victoria Square and the train station. The staff are notably friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall pleasant experience.

A little on the pricey side but coffee game is on point. Also have great vibes and atmosphere. With tables throughout and windows surrounding, it's a great space to study or read.

Such a great spot for having a coffee and a nice brunch. Really enjoyed the English breakfast that had a bit of a Korean touch to it.

Nice coffee spot, reasonable prices, large selection of coffee, coffee was great. We didn’t try the breakfast but it looked very good

First visit here, lovely kind staff with unique offers of seasonal espressos along with a house blend. I tried the seasonal espresso after being told it was an Indonesian blend with sour notes and I must say it was excellent, the most unique coffee I have ever tried. Spot on tasting notes and a tasting experience I would never expect from coffee, I do intent to return.

Loved the rustic look, beautifully decorated, very lovely staff, polite and attentive, however, I was not fond of the coffee

Delicioso un desayuno con un toque picante me encantó. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Birmingham. Punto de café también x

Lovely spot for a hot drink or a quick bite. We visited on Saturday morning for a light breakfast. Their sourdough with a choice of spreads was tasty - we each got to try a combo of spreads with our sourdough (peanut butter & Jam and peanut butter and honey. Items and reasonably priced. We were lucky to get a table quickly and staff were friendly and attentive. It does get very busy here as it is a small establishment.

Poor service, asking you to leave the table when they took ages to bring the food. Very bad coffee,like burnt taste

Have been here a few times now and it has become my go to place for breakfast when I am in Birmingham city centre. There is a good choice of food and it has always been well presented and tasty. The service has always been great. They don't take cash which is fine for me. Lovely atmosphere and food.

A café near Birmingham New Street station, I arrived in the morning before it had opened. The décor is beautiful, both inside and out. I hope to return and try the food and coffee here another time.

Great little coffee shop delicious pastry and fantastic service.

Very lovely and cozy place. The coffee quality is amazing and the services is great. Everyone is friendly and kind. I love this place and I will definitely come back.

I loved the food served in this restaurant because it was fresh. The staff is friendly and helpful The place feels old. The furniture is simple and the utensils are also not fussy.

Coffee is decent but on the sour side (even with milk you feel it). Food is good, but not amazing. Service is prompt

Really nice tasty food. Just a bit pricey we were a table of two and spent £52 in total on a meal each and a drink each.

The coffee is *divine* honestly so nice. The service from some....is lacking. They don't want to be there, or they don't want customers I'm not sure which. But the coffee really does make it worth it to at least get take out 🥰

The staff are really lovely here, nothing is too much. I come here purely for the vanilla matcha , and it’s so good. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, I come everytime I visit Birmingham centre.

Sat having a pre show meal. Food is tasty and fresh, plenty of it, well done !!! and bonus the staff are really lovely and friendly Will definitely visit again ☺️

Lovely place for a coffee and chat.

Pretty decent place overall, good coffee and a decent choice of coffee. Food is too expensive for what you’re getting so that really takes this review down in score. Service is fine, nothing bad but nothing outstanding either. Decent cafe for meeting friends or for studying.

Came for brunch on a Sunday. As a walk-in, our group of 3 only had to wait 10 minutes for a table. This place has a nice atmosphere and we weren’t rushed at all throughout our meal or after. The menu is interesting with interesting spins on some breakfast foods. There was some flexibility with some of the dishes, for example picking the type of egg for the house breakfast. Recommend this place for brunch, especially if you are looking for a place centrally located, near New Street station.

Great little coffee shop, great atmosphere and very busy.

Joe Lycett’s favourite local coffee shop. Especially recommended is the Avocado & Feta Smash with a poached egg on top.

POOR EMPLOYER ETHICS Worked a trial shift here a few years ago, was given the job, but refused to accept the offer because of how ridiculously low the wage was (age minimum, for such an incredibly busy branch this is poor ethics). I was promised I would be paid for the busy Saturday shift regardless (I had 8 years of barista/restaurant experience) but after many back and forths with the manager at the time - who had even asked for my bank details, they stopped responding to me. I was never paid, and considering they promised in writing, this is criminal. I was young and unconfident and let it go. What a mistake to let myself be screwed over. Never eating here, and just remember that the overpriced hipster eggs come at the cost of employee's rights. Everybody there was overworked and they only retain staff on the basis of the 'i work in a hipster coffee shop' identity.

Been twice for the breakfast sando. Great food, good prices.

The food is delicious and the service is very good

Coffee smooth as always. Workers there are always super sweet. Definitely worth the price!

Visited at 1pm yesterday, great atmosphere. The service was a little slow to take our order. The food was great, specifically the Marrakech Avocado Toast. So good I recreated it for lunch today. However the let down was the Matcha, I was excited to try it after seeing their ads on Instagram but it was so watery. Didn’t really taste the matcha flavour. Would get a coffee next time. Little overpriced too.

Disgusting. Bland coffee and poor hygiene. I saw a member of staff behind the counter putting hands down his backside (ewww) and another had no gloves on when handling the cakes. I walked out with my coffee half drunk. Reported to the council!

Looks like a decent place but coffee is pretty bad - tastes as over extracted. The food is ok but not value for money. Service is long, floors are dirty and lots of dust on pipes around.

Like others I was travelling through Birmingham and Yorks appears to be the best coffee shop near New St Station. I just had coffee and toast and the flat white was excellent. My toast however was toasted in one side and dipped in oil/melted butter which is a pet hate of mine. What’s wrong with adding a little pat of butter on the side. Horrible oily barely toasted sliced sourdough from a packet rather than a real loaf. Although I was given a menu after waiting for ages in front of a staff member, I got up to order st the counter, only to be told orders are taken at the table!!! I would certainly grab a hot or cold drink to take away but dining in for simple stuff isn’t great!

The Moroccan avocado on toast was very yummy, I would recommend it highly. The spiced chocolate was excellent but it was cold when it arrrived.I didnt send it back because I didnt mind but for the price I might have expected it to be hot? The decor is a stylish mix of industrial with wood touches. The toilet though was clean but looks as if it was added as an afterthought. We came on a Thursday at 3pm but the waitress started to pack up the signage and clear the tables before 4pm because we were the only ones left. They even rolled the large brown plastic garbage bin out past our table while we were still eating. It was only 4pm but we got the impression that it was our time to leave.I hadn't seen my friend for a year and we wanted to relax but we weren't welcome here. There is alot of choice in Birmingham so we won't come back which is a shame. Food tastes great but the service is lousy.

Me and my wife went for breakfast and got a breakfast sandwich each, the bread was extremely dry and tasted and felt stale. We paid £7.5 for these sandwiches and the amount of filling we got was saddening considering what we paid, you can only get one filling so it's either sausage or bacon you can't have both unless you pay extra. Our drinks were also a bit pricey with a single orange juice costing £3 and it was less than half a pint. The seating we were given was extremely uncomfortable for my wife as we were between two high tables with little room meaning our backs were against other customer backs which made my wife feel uncomfortable. Overall it was the worst experience and there are many other cafes in Birmingham where you can get better food for a better price such as Wayland's Yard.

Nice atmosphere, weird seating position. 7.5 pounds for a stale dry bread and sausage. As well as the tiniest orange juice bottle for 3.5 Overpriced drinks and food, would never come back again

Odio ser esta persona, pero esta experiencia de las mañanas en Yorks no fue genial, y ha estado sentada conmigo todo el día, tanto que necesito abordarlo. Mi pareja y yo hemos sido clientes de Yorks durante años, y por lo general, siempre nos encanta nuestra experiencia con usted. El café siempre es hermoso, la comida siempre deliciosa, y el servicio al cliente suele ser de primera categoría. Hoy, sin embargo, visitamos Yorks para un desayuno tardío, y hasta pagar, todo fue genial. Cuando nos levantamos para irnos y pagar, le pregunté a la mujer de detrás del mostrador “¿aceptas efectivo?”, ya que sé que algunos establecimientos ya no lo hacen. Después de preguntar, su actitud cambió y se sintió notablemente frustrada por mi pregunta. Su respuesta fue “ugh, podemos hacerlo, si tienes la cantidad correcta”. Entonces le mostré el dinero que tenía y ella me lo quitó en silencio, lo cobró en la caja, me dio mi cambio (que era de alrededor de £ 3 ) y luego se fue sin decir una palabra. Entonces me quedé allí un momento sintiéndome increíblemente incómodo y culpable, cuando todo lo que quería hacer era pagar mi cuenta. Preferiría que ella hubiera dicho “no tenemos suficiente cambio, ¿te importaría pagar con tarjeta?” A lo que habría entendido y pagado felizmente con tarjeta. Pero no, en cambio recibí una respuesta extraña e irritada y luego después de pagar, ni siquiera un adiós o gracias por venir. Sinceramente, no creo que volvamos aquí por un tiempo. Es triste, pero esa experiencia incómoda definitivamente me había postergado volver. Si usted no quiere tomar dinero en efectivo, simplemente no tomar dinero en efectivo? PERO debo admitir, la comida y el café era muy bueno como de costumbre!

I have been to York's many many times as a Birmingham local. Sadly, it's not all that!! The coffee and decor is good and that's all I can say. Overpriced small portions that don't satisfy Unattentive staff that offer table service but don't know what it is. Over the years, York's has always disappointed me. I only go if I'm on a date and my overly expensive coffee is being paid for!!! It looks good but it's smoke and music. There's plenty of other satisfying cafes in Birmingham.

Went here for a drink with a friend around 10am. If eating/drinking in, you wait to be taken to a seat. Fairly busy for the time of day. Within an hour there were people waiting for seats to become available. We ordered a turmeric tea and a hot chocolate. Both drinks were brought to the table quickly. The hot chocolate was warm, wouldn't say it was hot. Thought the drinks were a little pricey (£9.50 in total) considering the size. If payment is by card, taken at the counter and tips can be added to the final amount.

Relaxed vibe and super friendly and quick service. Vegan options were a bit mixed: great selection of cakes and bakes, but the dine-in meal options were uninspired and a bit lacking - I ended up just having a bowl of chips, but they were good chips I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ The main thing for me though is that, especially given it's a speciality coffee roastery, I was expecting to enjoy a good quality coffee - but I was quite disappointed with the over-extracted sour espresso in the drink I was served.

Fantastic brunch. Friendly service, nice atmosphere, centrally located.

Brunch is a popular restaurant in Birmingham. The red exterior wall is very conspicuous at the corner of the block. I went at the right time, so I didn't have to wait in line for a seat. I sat down directly. After about ten minutes, it was full of people and I had to wait in line for a seat. The signature Yorks house breakfast has quite a variety of combinations. The sausages are a bit salty, but the rest is to my liking. In addition, it is not the British standard hash browns, but potatoes fried into meatballs. Eat the Bacon Eggs Benedict while it's hot, otherwise the sauce will be too greasy. The orange juice is bottled and is a bit sour, so I wouldn’t recommend it. Overall it's okay, especially when the sun is out, it's nice to sit by the window and have brunch in the sun.

We stopped here for breakfast with a couple of friends, my breakfast item wasn't on their website menu but was great, a Korean dropped sandwich. (pictured) (I may have missed remembered the name.) The coffee tasted great and was a lovely atmosphere inside - really close to new street station, definitely recommend popping over if you have a bit of a wait to change trains.

Slow and poor service (asked 3 times for an orange juice that eventually arrived in a warm bottle with a tiny glass of ice) after 35 mins!!!! Food underwhelming and we were told to expect a 30 min wait when we ordered - all they do is brunch- how hard can it be? And use a tray. And clear empties when placing new things on the table. Vvvv disapointing.

The location is in the city centre which is good. But I didn't like the chairs which looked like school chairs and the place was a bit too dark inside for my taste. I ordered a tea and I like how it was served in a mini teapot and ceramic tray(I think). However I didn't get the sugar with my tea and I had to get up and ask for some sugar. I also ordered a cake, which I never recieved, but I wasn't charged for it in the end.

Unusual menu and some more traditional staples too. Sublime coffee- super smooth and strong. Cool vibe and very relaxing. A good place to be on your own, with friends or on business. I had the Persion love cake which was delicious. Good for breakfast or brunch

I tried the house brew which was the Indonesian roast — the aroma and acidity was perfect. The avocado feta smash was great, however, the portion was really small compared to the price. Lovely staff and beautiful ambience! Perfect study spot/brunch location 🥑

Cosy...nice staff and good breakfast

Very nice place for great coffee and good food options. It is busy and popular which means it can sometimes be difficult to get a seat.

dude on the till i want u so bad (to model)

Best Eggs Benedict I had ! Very tasty, not dry, not too fat, perfect 👌 The latte is also very good. Would be better to have fresh orange juice, but a part from that every dish we had was very good.

Industrial style cafe, the food was ok, but the person beside me had the chicken sandwich & it was so dry he was struggling to cut it. Ppl Queuing outside, to be honest it wasn’t that great but service was really good.

Great atmosphere, but the coffee was burnt, and the staff didn't stand out in terms of hospitality.

2nd time in 2 weeks I’ve tried to visit, neither were peak times it was no more than half full. Even so both times I waited for 5-10 minutes to be seated with 0 acknowledgment whilst the waiter just chatted with a table already seated. To be fair I like it when places make it clear they don’t want me as a customer as it makes it easier to choose next time. It’s a shame because I used to love the old restaurant

Lovely staff even during a very busy rush. Lovely food and even better coffee, will dream about the oat latte. Will definitely come back when we’re in Birmingham.

Popped in for breakfast having been turned away at Medicine Bakery who decided not to open at the time advertised on Google. In the end, glad they didn't serve us, otherwise we wouldn't have found Yorks. Lovely staff, LOVELY coffee & their breakfasts are really, really good. My wife had an avocado doo-dah type thingy (she's veggie) & I had Arabian eggs with a couple of sausages on the side. Both were absolutely awesome and much needed! Cheers guys!

The carrot cake was lovely, vegan too! Wasn’t dense or dry, really nice. Also enjoyed an oat latte with some beautiful coffee art on top. Staff very friendly. Lots of vegan cake options and a few savoury food options. I was able to work on my laptop here for an hour and it was a nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

Great food. Always very busy so service can be quite slow

Lovely place, great service, great food and great atmosphere! Will definitely return if visiting Birmingham! Highly recommend!

Loveeeeee the Arabian buttered eggs or the Turkish ones, obvs a little overpriced but that’s what you get for the location and it selling bouji drinks etc. The staff here are nice and you can bring your laptop provided you come early enough to find a table, which is one of the main reasons I come. They do £1 refills on filter coffee which is pretty good if you’re there working for a few hours . The food is pretty consistent here and good brunch. I see the vision with the butter chicken French toast but I wish they’d bring back the old Fried chicken French toast with chillis and Japanese mayo so baddd. Can’t they bring that one back alongside the butter chicken one? Anyway big up the staff they’re always sweet and do a good job of managing a place that gets pretty busy from 12 with people queuing up to get a table.

Popped in for a late brekkie, had the best mocha ever. Perfect temp, I practically downed it. Only went for a bacon and sausage sandwich but it was excellent. Toasted sourdough was so soft. I will be returning here very soon.

Really good coffee and hot chocolate 😋

Have been here a few times for brunch, and the food and service is great. Would highly recommend the eggs royale and to try their handmade chilli sauce.

I would have preferred not to have been writing this review, but I emailed the company and have had no answer. So here we are. Hopefully putting this in public might generate a change. First off, I have no complaints about the food (which was good) or the staff (who were helpful) The problem is the menu design and the way it is unusable for the visually impaired. The font is small and the description of the dishes is very faint. Had I been on my own I would have been in unable to order The really hard thing to take here is that it is so easy to fix, given 30 seconds of thought. Hold some large print versions. Or even just increase the font weight so we can take a picture and enlarge it (although that of course would exclude non phone users). Very disappointed all told

Wow! Amazing menu, amazing food and amazing coffee.

02.03.24 - This was a girls breakfast catch up. We have been here before. Amazing food, great vibrant venue. Staff are friendly, approachable. Will definitelybe back.

This place can be a hit or miss in terms of vibes, service, food and drink. My first time here 2 years ago I had a great experience having a full english, however my second and most recent time was a little underwhelming as the staff seemed uninterested, shokupan was dry, almost stale and coffee bitter.

Latte and cappuccino served cold. Mushroom on toast absolutely tasteless. Not worth the money at ALL! very upset with the quality and taste of food. Have been previously and the quality of food has plummeted.

Due to being a frequent travel through Birmingham, i have always been wanting to see what Yorks Cafe was offering (I only wanted something to drink since i had a huge breakfast). I was greeted with a wonderful server who asked if i had any special requests or allergies, before coming around to take my order. The atmosphere was a nice vintage look inside. Personally I do love that style of environment. Moving on, they have a large variety of food and drinks and i tried one of their special lattes which had turmeric, cinnamon and ginger. The taste was unique and i had nothing like it before. It definitely refreshed my pallet. Overall, i am very pleased with the coffee and the staff and will definitely have to revisit within the near future. Thank you so much for your service.

Coffee excellent, the front door however is awful. It doesn’t shut fully leaving anything but a warm and cosy atmosphere! Would come for a take away but can’t see myself sitting in again!

The breakfast was amazing. It was my first time, I waited for enter but definitely it was worth it.

Considering York’s is one of the top rated coffee shops in Birmingham, I was very disappointed when they under extracted our coffees!! Sour tasting espresso from a famous coffee roaster!!!! To make matters worse, the service I received from the manager was just blatantly rude. Not an ounce of good customer service in him. He opened up the shop late, then proceeded to bring out a-boards. I asked him if he was ready, he said yes, so I assumed he meant he was ready for customers, so I proceed to walk in. I then get greeted to another a-board being shoved in my face, and get pushed out the way at the door. He didn’t say sorry, he proceeded to be sarcastic and rude. I eventually walk in and order my coffee for takeaway. I was hoping to order some pastries too, but I was told they had just been put in the oven. If you are opening at 8:30am, why only start cooking your food at 8:30am. In summary, poor quality coffee, awful customer service, abhorrent atmosphere. AVOID!

Too greasy for our liking. We ordered two dishes, the house breakfast and the two chicken stuff, drawn by numerous positive online reviews to this restaurant. However, upon arrival, we were informed that the menu had changed, leaving us to navigate a new menu and new prices. The house breakfast (15£) featured toast so thinly sliced and deep-fried it resembled croutons more than bread. Unlike most other places, the sausage was overly soft, lacking in texture. The mushrooms and bacon were unremarkable, though the poached egg was delightful. It was disappointing to find only one enjoyable element in the dish. The 'two chicken' (14£) was overwhelmingly greasy. The thick toast was drenched in oil, making each bite akin to swallowing oil, and the chicken's thick batter encased dry meat, with the dipping sauce doing little to cut through the grease. The only saving grace was the refreshing pickles. On the bright side, the drinks met our expectations, with both the chai latte and flat white being satisfactory. The location is convenient and the decor pleasing. However, for those seeking a tasty brunch or mindful of their diet, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Delicious food and mocha and nice spot to work for a couple hours on Thursday morning before it got busy at lunch. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

What a wonderful place!! Fantastic service delicious food and dog friendly! Highly recommend! Lovely lovely place thanks

Waited and waited in the entrance for about 10min waiters refused to recognise my existence even when I waved and called. Waiter looked at me straight in the face and kept walking to the other side. Is it so hard to do some sort of gesture to show a customer you know they are waiting and you’ll be there soon? Place was half empty at 10am on Friday. Not a way to serve people. Too long to wait for this awful service.

I needed a place to work in Birmingham and Yorks was perfect. I was able to set up a computer, drink a delicious flat white and nibble on a banana muffin without any problem. Staff seemed really friendly and it's well located, just by Birmingham New Street station.

Food wasn't that good, disappointed! Our food was warm & not hot ! I ordered 2 poached eggs on 1 very small piece of sourbread toast with 2 tiny pieces bacon and my husband had mushrooms on 1 piece of sourbread toast and 2 hot drinks. I ordered a cappuccino - and it tasted, like a flat white. The cup size seemed small for a regular size. And a large cup of Mocha, that my husband had, was only medium sized. Not worth the money, we paid ! They also take payment right after ordering and before receiving drinks, which I thought odd ? Maybe it's that way, but anyway it did seem a bit like mistrust. I was one, who felt robbed !

Tasty breakfast! Try the Arabian poached eggs!

Unbelievable breakfast been here a few times now can't fault to food and the drinks, only thing I will say is it's on the little expensive side, but you get what you pay for. Will definitely be going again.

Great food...staff we had was miserable & didnt smile one bit....all seem to much of a chore for her

Food was alright. I had the Arabian buttered eggs which were very tasty but the portion was small for the price. My dad had the full English and he commented that overall it was decent but it seemed like cheap sausage and the bacon was overcooked. I don't know if this is a Birmingham thing but to take payment right after ordering and before receiving drinks even was weird to me. Maybe it's that way because people pop in mostly before getting a train so it ensures they can just leave when they're finished? But anyway it did seem a bit like mistrust, they asked my dad if he wanted milk or sugar with his coffee and he requested milk, he had to go up to the bar to chase this as it was never brought over but as soon as I ordered an extra orange juice they were over in .5 of a second to take the payment. I'm not going to run off! Overall it was ok but would try elsewhere in the area before returning
