Under Pressure Espresso — Restaurant in Birmingham

Some of the nicest coffee I have ever had, echoed by my partner too, who is a self-proclaimed coffee snob so it must have been good haha!

We sat in and there is a pleasant but peaceful vibe in there. I wouldn’t say it’s cosy, but it’s a great place to enjoy a coffee and have a chat / get some work done. The quality of the coffee is unmatched though, and they seemingly roast their own beans? I mean they have a roaster but we forget to ask as we left. Either way, outstanding coffee, worth a visit just for that. A flat white and a black coffee did the trick for us!

There is a small cabinet of cakes and treats but we didn’t sample them unfortunately, but they are there if that’s your thing! The service was lovely too, clearly very knowledgeable guys who love coffee. Effect and chatty, it was a joy...

I have never been disappointed by the coffee in this place, espresso (with and without milk or milk sub) as well as filter. They get beans in from Morgon and Clifton and I think they intend to start roasting themselves.

First time I've visited today and will be the first of many. The coffee is exquisite. I like to support independents and this is my new go to place in Sutton. I had my coffee to go & will hold off commenting on the atmosphere or venue etc as I have not had the chance to experience that but the service was delightful. Not over familiar and not bad attitude which I find tends to be the case in a lot of coffee shops I've been to, strange but true, I don't want you to be my best mate but I don't want to feel like I'm inconveniencing you either. This chap was just genuine. Looking forward to a silky velvety sumptuous full bodied flavoursome...
