    Breakfast for two
    Jodie H.

    Breakfast made for the gods! If you are in need of delicious breakfast with a cute setting and friendly staff look no further. I shared the twin breakfast with a friend and it did not dissapoint all the trimmings that you want on a breakfast. If it's a nice morning you can sit outside overlooking the canal or sit inside and keep warm. I'd like to return and try the other menu to see if it can compete with the breakfast. Deffinately worth every penny.

    I discovered this place when I last went to Loves restaurant, situated just across from Juju's along the canal at King Edwards Wharf. Come to think of it, I discovered Loves when I was looking for a short cut into Edgbaston. Suffice to say, unless you live in the neighbourhood, you would need to make a special journey to go to either of these places. Loves, I have already stated is one of my absolutely favourite restaurants. JuJu's, however, so far I have only popped in for a coffee to meet someone there but I have vowed to go back for breakfast! The place has a look of a cafe but the prices reflect more of a restaurant, open for dinner each night (except Monday) as it is. The eggs Benedicts come on crumpets rather than muffins so looking forward to that, even if it is a pound or two more than in my usual coffee shops

    The breakfast platter for two

    Juju's is the sort of cafe you could turn up to at anytime of the day, a variety of food and drinks suitable for any meal in a pleasant cosy atmosphere. Situated on the canal I could well imagine how nice a coffee, or cold glass of wine, outside in the sun would be. The very friendly staff, table service and quality ingredients mean, I feel, that Juju's is justifying its (slightly) above average prices. We had a good breakfast and will return again to try some of the rest of the varied offering.

    Definitely, perfect for a Sunday brunch. I went there with friends and because it was summer, we could have our food outside. Wonderful terrace next to the canals. I'm sure that, next time I go to Birmingham, I will go back there!

    Juju's famous breakfast hash. Wonderful!

    Breakfast Review: Its just a few minutes walk of town, but its canal side setting is superb, especially on a summers day. You will be greeted by the lovely Julie, a warm, wonderfully elegant character, who really knows how to look after her customers. I have had the Full English breakfast there, but I have also had the 'Juju's hash' which is a wonderful concoction of potato, bacon, sausage, tomato, fried egg and its heaven. The food is worth 5 stars, however, its quite expensive. Also, everything else is extra. If you are offered toast, its extra. I would expect it to come with a breakfast, but it doesn't? The last time I had a Full English breakfast there, it was lovely, its just a shame it took 20 mins to take our drinks order, then another 20 mins for our breakfasts to arrive. In their defence, we did turn up just after a table of 6 - but I still thought we waited too long. Still, its a great breakfast and great venue.

    After seeing all the love on Yelp for Juju's, I knew I had to visit. When planning venues for our Yap on Yelp meet ups - it seemed like a great chance to go and check it out for myself and take the gang down for some Sunday Brunch. I dropped Julia an email about a week beforehand and received a prompt answer to all of my questions and confirmed the booking swiftly and without issue. Juju's is situated on the canal, about a 5 minute walk from Broad Street or via the Gas Street Basin and the white bridge which leads to Loves restaurant and the apartments. It's not a big place, but is perfectly formed to sit around 40 - 50 diners both inside and outside the venue. It's got a lovely homely feel (whilst avoiding the "greasy spoon caff" sort of vibe) and had fresh daffodils on the tables and sunshine streaming in the windows. I had booked the table for 11am, but got there around 10:30 to wait for the guys to arrive. We were warmly greeted and shown to our table as soon as we arrived. While we were waiting, me and Dan G ordered a couple of Americano's (which were hot, fresh and tasty) and perused the menu in preparation. Prices aren't dirt cheap, but I didn't feel it was over priced either. Me and Dan chose a vegetarian breakfast platter to share (£5.99 each) and the coffees were a bit of a bargain at £1.99. The menu offer lots of options (a good range of posh egg dishes, full english, breakfast hash and plenty of vegetarian choices), and the Yelp gang chose a good range of these to sample. Our vegetarian breakfast platter was perfect as a light, but filling start to the day. Me and Dan both got a fried egg (not at all greasy), veggie sausage (excellent), piece of toast, beans, mushrooms (these were delightful) and a hash brown each. The eggs benedict, pancakes and other plates the Yelpers had chosen were all well received too. Service was friendly, helpful and warm. The venue was heaving, but I didn't feel like this impacted on the reception from Julie or any of the staff at the Juju's. I now HAVE to go back and try an evening meal! If you haven't been, I recommend a visit (especially on a sunny weekend to enjoy a relaxed breakfast).

    Eggs beni - soooo good!
    Lydia B.

    What an awesome restaurant! Vicky O had chosen this place for our Yap on Yelp brunch on one Sunday morn, and I was delighted as I not experienced the food before. The service was warm and friendly with the owner being bubbly and accommodating. The menu provides lots of great breakfast options, and I was hard pressed to make a choice. I settled on eggs Benedict which was served with bacon. I throughly enjoyed the dish, and hardly spoke to my Yelp friends whilst I tucked in! There is outdoor seating and when the sun is out its a great space to watch the world go by and soak up the rays by the canal. Can't wait to take other people here. Oh and it would be wise to book a table as it does get busy especially at the weekend.

    I'd say that this is more of an upmarket 'cafe', perhaps more along the lines of a small restaurant, than what you'd expect from a typical cafe. It's definitely a place where you could take someone for a special breakfast or perhaps a working meeting. As it's situated along the canal, it has a real European feel and when the suns shining, you could almost imagine that you're on holiday. Then coffee is of really good quality as is the food. Try the salmon breakfast as it's delicious. It's called eggs royal.

    Can't believe I hadn't been to this great little independent cafe before, despite working at Brindley Place for 10 years! We arrived at just after 1pm, and we were seated straight away but I'd recommend booking to guarantee your table. We decided to go for the shared Full English platter for two, and it didn't disappoint (although they appeared to have run out of mushrooms)...I got to eat all the beans whilst hubby had all he eggs...everyone was happy. There was a bit of a wait for our food, but this can be forgiven as they were clearly busy, yet the staff were unfailingly friendly. Julia herself greeted every customer like old friends. I'd definitely like to sample more of the menu and the canalside location makes it a beautiful spot in any season.

    Canalside cappuccino

    Seriously my favourite place in the city since I moved here. They are very safety conscious, and there is tons of canal-side outdoor seating for those that want to stay outside and the food is to die for (seriously order the Kiev burger)

    Pancakes and a latte.
    Huda A.

    I have been to many places that serve English breakfast in B'ham, and this place, hands down, is one of the best so far!! I don't know what do they add to their food to taste this good!! Even plain eggs taste different! The staff are also wonderful! They are the type that will remember your face. When I went there, the manager immediately told me that it must be my first time because she doesn't recognise my face. The location is also so lovely! You get to choose between sitting inside or outside the restaurant and you can enjoy watching the canals either way. I highly recommend this place!

    Ashley G.

    We've been here for brunch a few times (amazing) and we decided to try the main menu. I went for the pinkie and perky sandwich - I'd eyed it up on the previous visits so knew what I was going for from the outset - and the wife had faggots and braised oxtail which was incredible. The whole experience completely lived up to our past visits, and we'll be heading back for another dinner date soon!

    Latte
    Haowen H.

    Had the best ever brunch in brum. From the cream to the berries, bacon to tomatoe, everything is perfectly prepared and cooked, not to mention the lovely people. Will definitely come again for a rosy morning.

    The hash I think it was called? Eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns all mixed together! Super yummy!!

A small flat white and small cappuccino for £6 total is a rare find these days and we both loved our drinks. So much flavour and nice, strong coffee.

The staff working were friendly and happy to offer advice (to me and another customer who had 21 questions about the origin of the coffee) - credit where credits due, the young chap answering knew the answer to every question! They are also linked to next door, a sandwich shop which is perfect for lunch and you can even order from one side and go and sit in the other or vice versa. Owned by the same husband & wife partnership and matched with the same awesome decor. It's not often I'm in Birmingham but one thing for sure is this fling is sure to continue every time I venture in!

It's a good location just a short walk from Colmore Row and St Philips Cathedral square (also known as Pigeon Park by the locals). The cafe itself is actually really nice. It felt lively but not busy when I walked in. I had a quick look at the menu and, as I was really rather hungry, I went full on hipster and had the Avocado Smash with bacon and poached eggs. I tell you what - this cafe is not cheap. The avocado smash and a coffee cost me more than £10. Can you believe that? In Birmingham! It did taste good but for that amount of money I would expect to have had 2 slices of toasted sour dough with avocado along with the bacon and eggs.The coffee was delicious so I would go back for that alone (and it wasn't extortionately priced).

This branch of Urban Coffee has a small mezzanine area where they sometimes have events or private hires making it more versatile than some of the other cafes. Due to that and its location you get a real mixed crowd of people in the store all the time. Everyone from young creatives right through to suited and booted businessmen are regularly enjoying a cup of the dark stuff in the chilled out and laid back space. My personal favourite beverage from here is a skimmed hazelnut latte....if you are into hazelnut flavoured drinks they syrup they are using here is AMAZING.

Curiously, I took a step in and immediately fell in love with the rustic brown and purpley interior, and the cool range of tracks playing, which made the perfect ambiance for me. Despite wanting to try one of the speciality drinks, which had been recommended by the very kind Baristas, I did need something to wake me up in the morning so went for a cappuccino. At around £2.60 , this cappuccino was definitely great for the price, especially considering it would be classed as a large in many other coffee shops! The only complaint I would have about the drink is that there was too much milk , making it more of a latte than a cappuccino, however I did enjoy it all the same.

If you are looking for a cafe to set up and get some work done this place would be perfect, plenty of tables and loads of power sockets (replete with USB ports). The coffee here isn't particularly remarkable although it certainly isn't bad, if you move away from the basic coffee options you'll probably be pleasantly surprised, the cold drinks were a particular highlight. Food is good solid lunchtime fare, they do a selection of salads and, instead of the more usual paninis, a range of toasted wraps (they come with a decent little side salad) which makes a change and will leave you less bloated. They also have a pretty massive selection of cakes/sweet treats on offer, the ones I tried definitely were indulgent so make sure you have your sweet tooth fully in gear. Well worth dropping in to, I will almost certainly become a regular, and the prices are modest to boot.

    When I first started with Yelp, I threw this question to the masses; "Where is the best tea shop in…read moreBirmingham?". One of the first recommendations I received was the Edwardian Tea Room. Now, I have always known this place existed - but never had a chance to visit. This was finally rectified last week. The Edwardian Tea Room is housed within the fantastic Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (on Victoria Square). You need to head in the building, up the stairs and through the shop and the Buddha exhibit to find it. Decorated beautifully, the tea room really does feel like you've stepped back in time. No music plays in the background, but you can hear the murmur of conversation, the scraping of chairs along the floor and the clanging on trays as the staff clean up the empty tables. The menus are displayed on the wall (rather than individually on tables). You need to head up to the counter and order before you find a table (although if you're in a group, you would do well to bag a table first). The Tea Room (as you would expect) has a large selection of cakes (and tea, of course). A slice of cake and a pot of tea is a bargainous £2.95 - meaning it's a wallet safe alternative to some of the more hipster coffee and tea shops in the centre of town. Again, as previously mentioned, it's very popular with an older crowd due to the prices. However, on my visit their were older visitors, young people and families (who were catching their breath after trekking around the huge museum). I grabbed a herbal tea (£1.60) and took a seat in the large room to do a little bit of work while I enjoyed my hot drink. As well as tea, coffee and cake, there is a varied menu on offer for very reasonable prices. A large fish and chips (with all the trimmings) and a cup of tea was around £7.50. Not too bad, and they offer many other hot options too. Even on my many trips to BMAG, I haven't ever taken the opportunity to visit the Tea Rooms. Following my trip last week, there is a good chance I'll be back JUST TO visit the tea rooms.

I've had a fish finger sandwich here which was nice but nothing to write home about. I've also tried the afternoon tea which was lovely, especially the cakes. It's not a particularly fancy afternoon tea but it makes a lovely lunch. The highlight here is really the space and the atmosphere- definitely worth spending some time in.

Quarter Horse is based from Oxford and the Birmingham branch is it's sister shop.

I enjoyed a silky latte this morning which was excellent in taste and kept me warm from the wet weather outside. QH are using Round Hill coffee beans at the moment which is a welcome change from the many other fine coffee shops in Birmingham. At the moment, QH is limited to hot drinks (they opened 2 days ago) so it will be interesting to see what food and other additions QH will provide over the coming weeks and really develop into a place with its own identity. But what is extremely exciting for coffee buffs is that on one side of the shop, a new roaster is going to be installed within the next 2 weeks! First in Birmingham! I'm sure I am not the only person who is thrilled at this prospect and cannot wait to see this in action. I have been to many coffee shops in London where this set up works very effectively so this will certainly be something Brummies can be proud of.
