Offering order-at-your-table waitress service and an extensive, homemade cake selection, this New…read moreOscott-based tea room is a great place to relax. Alex, the waitress is lively and polite and the café holds a pleasant, 'Old English' ambience, which is complimented nicely by its classy cutlery and condiments. The homemade cakes selection is near-irresistible and Britton's even offers its own take-away service and menu. Unfortunately though, with only 5 or 6 tables and no easy-listening soundtrack, the tea room feels cramped and uncomfortably silent, even when every seat is full. Britton's is smart, charming and very reasonably priced, but it would definitely benefit from some piped music and comfortable seat cushions, both of which would be sure to cosy things up a little.

Believe it or not, I'm just about old enough to remember the Lyon's Tea Rooms. If you've never…read moreheard of them then Google it. So I was taken back to my childhood when I paid a recent visit to this corner tea room. The former flower shop has been transformed into a beautiful tea shop with a fabulous range on offer. Let's start with cakes! Scones with jam and thick cream, chocolate fudge cake, served as it come or hot. Lemon drizzle, carrot cake, Mmm ok let's move on! They do a great breakfast, sandwiches, light lunches oh and being a tea shop there is a wide selection of teas of course. I shall be popping along soon to enjoy a long lost British tradition "Afternoon Tea", on offer is a three tier stand with a finger sandwich selection, those scones I was talking about earlier and a pot of tea all for £10.00, a nice touch and perfect treat.

Breakfast Review: I…read morewas recommended this place as a great breakfast venue. It is quirky, you get to eat a breakfast below the waterline on a canal boat in the heart of the city - which as an ex sailor, I find really cool. I stepped aboard and was met by two ladies who being polite were obviously not happy that they were at work on a Saturday morning. I ordered my Full English breakfast. It wasn't impressive. Sure, I got the bacon, 2 sausages, fried egg, toast and tomato, but all the ingredients were seriously cheap. All had the feel of 'kept warm for ages', too. To make matters worse, the single fried egg was hard. Its a shame, I was hoping it would be great, however the fact that there was only 1 other customer there at the time, tells me that others perhaps know this? The place didn't look very clean either, (although there were just 2 customers, there were 2 tables that still hadn't been cleared)?

On offer were your normal hot and cold drink selections, alongside what looked like homemade cakes. As we went in on a Tuesday afternoon, we were able to get a table so we sat down and enjoyed a slice of chocolate cake and a couple of hot chocolates. It was a pleasent experience and a great stop off point before getting a train.

It's often hard to find a nice independent, intimate place to grab a meal in a large city centre,…read moreso coming across The Little Tea Shop, a short walk away from New Street Train station was an extremely pleasant surprise. As the name suggests, this eatery is small and friendly and on top of that serves up some great quality grub! You can get yourself a delicious handmade sandwich or opt for the more traditional option of a good old fry up. Obviously being a small business, seating is at a premium so it can be difficult to eat in on a busy day, but if that's the case then simply grab a sandwich to take away and eat in the fresh air, although on a typical Birmingham day this can present its own problems due to our less than favourable weather most of the year round.

The cafe is situated in Martineau place which has been a bit deserted recently so its great to see new places opening up in here.

After a less than ok experience at Joe's Coffee house that i rated so highly before (Joe's you have…read moredisappointed me :() I find that I tend to go either this place or the little stall they have - which is conveniently where my platform brings me out onto the concourse every single morning. I find the coffee's especially to be pretty good, a flat white coming in at £2.40 - the same as almost everywhere else. The food though does seem quite pricey - the sandwiches are going for nearly £5 and a friend of mine said that the breakfast muffins are tasteless. You cannot trust something passing its self off for Eggs Benedict for less that £3 and this place serves my evidence. I had a superfood salad before though, they are kept to the right when you walk in and are more moderately priced. It had some sort of rice barley thing, beetroot falafal and some other greenery like edamame and hummus. I have a dislike for hummus but it was there so i just mixed it up with everything else and I have to say it tasted really good. I felt better for it, its not often i enjoy those super healthy salads and normally they cost the earth. I would eat it again. The customer service varies a little on who you get - understandably the last time I went they were shutting in 40 minutes, but I took the last seat (they'd closed off the rest) and happily drank my coffee in a take away cup so they didn't have to wash up, made no mess etc. The woman that made my drink kindly brought it over - the woman in charge seemed to stare at me like I was a huge inconvenience. I know I was but I don't think I'm supposed to pick up on that?
