I was first introduced to this cozy café/bar by my partner. Admittedly, I was a bit hesitant to go in at first—but that quickly changed after my first visit. From the moment I walked through the door, I was welcomed by the owner, Alberto, whose warmth and hospitality set the tone for the entire place. What truly makes this spot special is the sense of community. It’s the kind of place where everyone seems to know each other, and new faces are greeted like old friends. The regulars are just as lovely as the staff, creating an atmosphere that’s always inviting and full of life. And let’s not forget the cakes—baked fresh by Alberto’s wonderful wife. They’re absolutely delicious and the perfect complement to a coffee or glass of wine. Spending time here has become a real pleasure. Whether you're looking for a quiet coffee, a friendly chat, or just a welcoming space to unwind, this café/bar is a true local treasure.

I had no idea this café come bar, existed, an oasis of peace in the heart of Acocks Green, an absolute gem with a definite Arabian vibe to it.There are seats outside at the front of house, two rooms inside, one with a fully stocked bar and then a pretty garden room at the rear. It's incredibly attractive, colourful and welcoming, we had breakfast but in the afternoon there was a BBQ arranged, £15 a head. You could easily hold a small, celebration party there or even a small work function. I absolutely LOVED it and can highly recommend.

This place has such a lovely atmosphere inside or in the garden. Anna and Alberto are wonderful hosts, friendly, keen to share their place. The menus is limited but done well. The price is very reasonable . Apparently the Sunday BBQ’s are the weeks best. They say music available at weekends- would be keen to visit at evenings or at weeeknds.

My new favorite cafe! Got in a little late for breakfast but they still served it up, and it was brilliant! Every part of the breakfast was cooked perfectly, even the mushrooms which were crispy not soggy . Good ingredients, friendly owners and cosy decor (even has a log burner)! Music was on point too! Will definitely be visiting again!

So I was here 3 months ago, last time I was in Brum. This place is just fantastic, I'll go out of my way to come here. The sandwich is really nice as is the coffee, but really it's the uniqueness of it's decor and the friendless that you encounter every time you come in. I think the way the place and the staff welcome you rubs off the on the people visiting, I always end up having a chat with someone. I didn't even know the back room existed before this visit, lovely space with a wood burner... If only everything in life was this good!

I posted this originally in November but I was trying to add an additional review for my visit in February and I've ended up updating only the date... The review above is not a duplicate it's a different visit.... Type of place I wouldn't expect to exist any more. Really nice sandwich (really nice bread) and great coffee for a good price in cool surroundings. I've been here once before when I stopped in Acocks Green, look forward to coming back again!
