Enjoying veganuary in Birmingham

Posted on January 4, 2021January 7, 2021 by Laura

Veganuary gets more popular every year but as we hit 2021 heading straight into a lockdown, this year most of us will be following plant based eating from home. I’m personally choosing to eat plant based 2 days a week this year, rather than veganuary only, but whatever your plan or reasons for it you…

Review | Gas Street Social, Mailbox

Posted on September 6, 2020September 14, 2020 by Laura

Gas Street Social is back open in Mailbox, serving up tasty brunches and lovely service. The story of how I came to know this is mildly ridiculous. In the typical haphazard fashion you’ve all come to know and love (she assumes) over the last few years, the reason for my visit was being a bit…

Review | Ngopi, Dale End (City Centre)

Posted on August 17, 2020August 17, 2020 by Laura

I think we may have a new contender for best lunch under £10 in Birmingham city centre thanks to Ngopi. If you’ve not visited this cafe you won’t be alone – it’s hidden away down a street on the (let’s say…) rougher end of town and is often overlooked. But that’s a big mistake, because…

How to support your independent restaurants, cafes and bars after lockdown

Posted on July 1, 2020July 8, 2020 by Laura

I’ve not written a blog post since March. It didn’t feel right, relevant or particularly useful to anyone, including myself. So hello, welcome back (sort of) and I hope those of you reading this are healthy and doing ok. It’s been a wild ride, hasn’t it? I’m not going to write a barrage of trite…

‘Birmingham’s smallest coffee shop’ opens in The Oasis markets

Posted on February 21, 2020March 5, 2020 by Laura

Birmingham’s ‘smallest coffee shop’ has opened in (everyone’s favourite emo dungeon) The Oasis markets. The Coffee Bar is located on the top floor (which weirdly is actually street level) of the markets, and is an independent start up. Head past the Nirvana tshirts and suspicious looking pipes and you’ll find the bar at the back….

Review | The Edwardian Tearooms, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery

Posted on February 15, 2020February 15, 2020 by Laura

There’s a lot to like about The Edwardian Tearooms at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. Most notably the button that summons the champagne fairy. Often overlooked, this cafe is mainly used by museum visitors but there’s plenty to draw non-visitors to the beautiful space hidden beyond the gift shop and all its loot. Located on…

Solihull welcomes new cafe Vita to Mell Square

Posted on February 11, 2020February 12, 2020 by Laura

Solihull has welcomed a new cafe called Vita to Mell Square. Taking over the space once occupied by Costa, Vita is a proving a welcome independent addition to an area that is often accused of being chain-heavy. Serving coffee, cake and desserts, this place will even pour you a fizz if your heart desires. All…

Review | Kitty Cafe, Grand Central

Posted on January 13, 2020January 18, 2020 by Laura

In all honestly, I went to Kitty Cafe at Grand Central to meet an asbo cat, not because I expected an early contender for this year’s best lunch. Let me explain. Despite being a cat lover, this cafe hadn’t really interested me very much until I’d heard several reports of a rogue pussy providing some…

15 of the best lunch deals in Birmingham

Posted on December 16, 2019January 30, 2020 by Laura

I’ve recently been asked for student budget friendly places to eat and the best lunch deals in Birmingham city centre and beyond – hopefully this post should cover both. I know how important affordable lunches are. As a young twenty-something I worked for a news agency in the middle of the city. I was paid…

The popular St Paul’s Square venue reopened at the end of November, and is still serving up breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes as well as coffee and cakes, although the menu has had an overhaul with a new chef at…

Weather report: sunny but absolutely pissing freezing. Floor is a death trap. Wish I hadn’t bothered. But look how pretty she is.
