In the space of about 5 mins, my other half went from 'M'love' to 'Sir' here. I'm not sure why - I don't think he's ever been called 'Sir' before in a cafe, but hey, it could have been worse.
It's nice to be able to get a reasonably priced coffee at an independent cafe - particularly in south Birmingham. So I appreciated this place. I ordered a cappuccino, which arrived like a mountain of snow - an impressive looking thing. Albeit mostly froth. But still impressive looking. It was good coffee, too.
It was sadly quite empty when we were there, except for one old dear who seemed to be falling asleep into her latte. But the chit-chat from the staff made up for the lack of atmosphere, so this ended up being a good, inexpensive pit stop from the high street in Kings Heath.
There are an alarming amount of police and CCTV notices plastered onto the front window, which I have to admit I found a little off-putting. And bizarre. Perhaps the Kings Heath mafia all hang out in Cafe Latte, quaffing mountains of foam and chatting to the friendly staff? I can't imagine the place being over-run with hooligans. Maybe the little old lady was a secret assassin...
Either way, it was a good coffee stop at a good price, so I'm not particularly concerned that they've caught me on CCTV, enjoying it. read more
