Cafés · Birmingham
Brunch here is the sort you can actually linger over — the courtyard garden is the draw for anyone pushing a pram, with room to park it beside you and space to spread out on a warm day. Inside is nicely done, with music on and a relaxed hum rather than a hush you'd worry about breaking. Staff are consistently warm, and there are high chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options. Breakfasts come out hot on hot plates; the sweetcorn hash, the Mexican eggs and the crispy hash browns get named again and again, as does smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and avocado. Brunch choice is a little narrow if you're fussy, and app ordering at busy times has been known to send plates to the wrong table, so keep an eye out. One family calls it a regular spot.
