The Coffee Bar Collective — Restaurant in Birmingham

Collective - meaning "gathering"/"bringing together" of - various drinks and bakes from pretty much all over the world (inc. Asia + South/Central Americas) - and people of all communities/cultures and ages, and even couples, friends and families.

Very tasty drinks - such as teas, coffees and hot chocolates, and even iced drinks; glass of water is generously served always whenever you sit in; both house and guest coffees are also served here.

Very tasty bakes - such as sweet (e.g. cinnamon bun esp when toasted and warmed up) and savoury (e.g. sandwich toasties like mushroom).

Kind, helpful, friendly, considerate, accommodating and knowledgeable Baristas (and Chefs) - they know their drinks and bakes stuff very well, and they're happy to make suggestions/recommendations where required - thereby forming intimate/close interactions/rapport with customers.

Comfortable seats, tables and even benches - whether you choose to sit inside or outside.

Small but nicely lit and cosy atmosphere with nice music playing in the background inside - however the bar will be moving to a new, bigger building nearby soon (in around June 2025).

Stacks of magazines available - different kinds/themes like fashion and interior designs - should you wish to read or entertain yourself (or others) whilst eating and drinking inside.

Interesting moments - can provide inspiration (e.g. creative storytelling); pleasant events tend to occur (e.g. meeting new people and making friends with others). I was once greeted by a lovely Labrador belonging to another customer whilst sat inside, which made me feel very happy, hence happy memories are created.

Amazing service - both reasonably priced and timely served.

Overall, the Coffee Bar is cosy and colourful, and full of amazing artisans - pretty much coming up with creative ideas for new/potential recipes, whether they're drinks...

The Coffee Bar Birmingham is an absolute gem for coffee enthusiasts like myself. When I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly set the tone for a memorable experience. Located in the city's heart, this charming café is a must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful coffee journey.

The first thing that struck me was the skilled and friendly barista, Bradley. His passion for coffee was evident in every cup he crafted. Not only did he have an impressive knowledge of different coffee varieties, but he also took the time to understand my preferences and recommend the perfect blend to suit my taste buds. His warm smile and genuine enthusiasm made me feel right at home.

Speaking of the coffee, it was simply outstanding. The Coffee Bar Birmingham boasts an extensive menu with a range of single-origin beans and unique blends from around the world. Each cup was a work of art, meticulously prepared by Bradley with great care and attention to detail. The flavours were rich and balanced, making every sip a moment of sheer bliss

I recommend this café to anyone seeking a top-notch coffee adventure in Birmingham. I can't wait to return and indulge in their exceptional...

I've been all over the UK and Europe for the best mocha and coffee I can find and I didn't think that I would find one of the best of them in Birmingham. The reason being that I never read or hear about Birmingham being a coffee hub or places going viral and it always seems to be places in London or Manchester.

So when I stumbled in and met Mike Brad and Ben (MBB) and the friendliest introduction and the absolute warm feeling all throughout cannot be understated how great it makes the rest of the experience. I mean the coffee is incredible and yet the attitudes of these dudes is such a credit to the Shop.

Onto the coffee. Had the Belgian flaked mocha. It was incredible. This shop based on that drink alone is already in my top 5 coffees I've ever had and I spoke to my friend today to mention that I won't forget this coffee (yes I really do think this way about coffee)

Finally, I've no hesitation in recommending the coffee bar collective and can only hope they expand with the same standard of quality to closer to me in Manchester so I can enjoy this...
