Popped in to Alcester for some lunch as staying nearby and this place drew us in with the amazing…read morecakes you can see from the window. We had toasted sandwiches and a side of the most amazing sweet potato and coconut soup! Absolutely delicious. We were then too full for cake, but couldn't leave without some and they even have specially designed cake take-away boxes, great idea! The carrot and caramel cake was sensational and worth a trip just for that!

Walking in from the small high street of Barnt Green village it's style is a combination of someone's living room and what I would imagine a post war tea shop would be like, Minus the hair net and curlers! It is filled to the brim with vintage crockery and gifts, quirky ornaments and fabulous post war style tables with cute little table place settings. Everything in the shop can also be bought. Although Vintage Tea Rooms are the current trend I welcome the quirkiness and makes it more of a unique day out as opposed to the high street franchises and once again supporting local and independents. I stumbled across this tea room by accident whilst visiting Barnt green and as I was on my own they just about had a place for me to have lunch, it's very busy with small groups of ladies lunching with their three tiered ornate cake stands and afternoon teas. It needs to be booked well in advance to reserve a place. I had a simple lunch of soup served in an ornate tea cup and a small plate of sandwiches and of course Earl Grey Tea for one. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely visit again with friends and it's only a short walk from Barnt Green station. Looking at their website you can also hire their services or the tea room for parties. Lush!

A great coffee shop/cafe nestled down one of the side parts of the Kingfisher centre, it is…read moredefinitely worth going out of your way to come here and relax. There is plenty of seating, both inside and out (on the walkway between the shops, it's all inside so you don't need to worry about the rain), and they have a good quantity of highchairs for younger visitors. There is plenty of space between the tables, allowing for pushchairs and wheelchairs. As it is to the side of the centre and not in the middle with the greatest flow of people there is normally space to find seating and it is not too busy. The food that they offer is tasty and not too expensive, and they offer hot and cold snacks, meals and cakes etc. The tables are kept clean by the staff members, and it's a lovely place to relax. The staff members are friendly and happy to help, and if you are struggling with your tray then they are not shy in coming forward to offer assistance. Though the items are a little more pricey it is worth it for the service and the fact that you will be able to sit down and enjoy your food without having to wait and pounce as soon as a table is vacated.

As it happens, I'm probably going to have to change the listing for this place pretty soon, as,…read moreapparently 'Barnt Green Coffee Lounge' is only a temporary name until the new owners can think of something more interesting. It does what it says on the tine though. It is indeed a coffee lounge, in Barnt Green. It also does hot and cold food, at very reasonable prices (nothing appeared to be over £5) and cakes. I ordered a green tea, which arrived in its own little green pot on a nice wooden tray. I love it when simple things are well-presented, so this place got my thumbs up pretty immediately. Also, the staff were welcoming and helpful, they have free wifi - always a real plus - and their coffee is ethically sourced and produced. Hurrah. They also have a lovely long, stripy seat that runs along one wall of the lounge. I am a sucker for a stripy seat. See my Barnt Green Inn review ... So, what's not to love? Well, not a lot. The only minor drawback is that the only seat next to a plug, should you be wanting to charge your laptop, is right by the front door, so you could find yourself in a bit of a draught - albeit a wifi hotspot sort of draught. Other than that, nothing to complain about. Obviously I'll have to go back at some point in the near future, to see what name they've come up with. Any excuse....

I found Truly Scrumptious on line and what a little gem I found!! I spoke to Kerrie the owner and explained that I needed a special birthday cake in a week! No problem. I requested a simple 12" square sponge with white icing trimed with blue and a design of a vintage motor bike. Again, no problem. A family member who lives in Stratford collected the cake a week later and delivered it to the party venue. I cannot praise Kerrie enough for her service. The cake was absolutley delicious and the design was gorgeous with a little sugar handmade 'Norton' motor bike. My partner was so surprised and thrilled with the cake. We haven't visited the tea room yet but will do so on our next visit from Hereford to Stratford. Kerrie has a fabulous website which includes a gallery of cakes for all occasions that she has made and photo's of what looks like a delightful tea room.

The back of the coffee shop has flashing (almost Christmas-like) lights, which enticed me further to go inside, just to understand why they were there! I'm still not exactly sure why they are there, (maybe to attract simple minded folk like me who are mesmerised by bright things!) The front of the cafe is very sleek, modern, cool and cosy, while the back and one-side isn't actually a cafe at all, but a slot machine arcade! (Maybe this why the place is called Coffee & Confusion!) I bought a cup of tea and a muffin, which came to £5, I guess that's a little more expensive than usual, but you are paying for the beautiful Lickey location, so that's understandable.
